Pedersoli Hawken Peep Sight Mounting & Compatibility
If you want to put an aperture (peep) sight on a Pedersoli Missouri River Hawken muzzleloader, below are some considerations. I had a gunsmith put a Lyman 57 GPR on my Pedersoli Hawken in 2024.

Refinished Kimber Mountain Ascent
I’ve been wanting to refinish my Kimber Mountain Ascent for a few years, and I finally got it done. It shoots and handles great and is my go-to rifle chambered in 280AI, but I’ve never loved the look of the printed camo on the stock. Especially once it started to show wear. This past winter I... -
When it rains it pours
Holy smokes. I've never drawn a long odds nonresident tag before and I've been applying for 17 years. Now I have a NM unit 15 muzzy elk tag and a Nevada 104, 121, 108 rifle elk tag for 2024. Kinda stressful to have two, but I'm not complaining. Appreciate anyone who might have experience with... -

I've never been collateral damage of a hatchet job before. Below is TRCP's press release on the proposal. It would enable the use of Land and Water Conservation Fund dollars for voluntary conservation easements to conserve working lands in SW Montana. Similar programs have long been in place on... -

BLM proposing conservation leasing
The leases would be available for two purposes: restoration and mitigation. Not to lease the land to prevent use. Also, there is specific language in the rule preamble about casual use (hunting and fishing by the public are casual uses). That language is below. The proposed rule would define...- joelweb

New Public Access Film
Hi, Everyone. For those who are interested, TRCP just released a new film in partnership with Eastmans', onX, Savage, SIG SAUER, and Kenetrek to unpack the complexity of public access.

Vintage Ithaca Model 37 Shotguns Engraving
No idea, but I'm a fan of those shotguns. -
It’s a 5-point Mule Deer, change my mind
Eye guards on deer, brow tines on elk. Just go with 4x4 if the points are above the fork. Regardless of what's scoreable, it's how we do it out west.- joelweb
