I also re-upped my membership in the OYBA this weekend, but it wasn't due to snow hidden obstacles. I was packing an antelope across the high prairies of WY and was crossing a boggy gully. You know the type of area with knee deep, yellow grass; spongy, water-logged footing; interspersed with...
Awhile back Randy started a post entitled "The Herd Grows" showing pictures of recent additions to his beautiful antelope collection. I made a visit to my taxidermist the other day and brought home this space filler, so I'd thought I would share. Musk ox at 40 below, a "springtime" adventure...

I think the old saying still applies here - shoot what you shoot best. I've killed several freezers worth of antelope with my trusty 30.06 - mostly with 165 gr bullets. I'm generally a one-gun kind of guy - it's worked on everything from antelope to moose. However, between me and me kids we've...
You're making me tear up. I grew up in Great Falls and spent much of my youth in that country. Maybe I can get back permanently when I retire, only 10 more years to go (sigh).
