    Annealing question

    I anneal my brass because I want it to last as many rounds as possible, especially when good brass for some cartridges is hard to find. Like most others have stated, I always anneal and then size. Good luck

    Should 17 year old apply for big three?

    If you apply for a Once in a Lifetime hunt you can draw this year, first ask yourself, "if I do draw, can I actually afford to go on the hunt and pull it off?" Most 17 year olds would not be able to actually pull off an out of state first time hunt, even if they did draw the tag. Building...

    2023 Montana Bighorn Sheep Tag/Hunt...

    That's a perfect sheep hunt story Mr BC. I've been very fortunate to have taken all four NA sheep, and in my mind anyone who doesn't do it like you did, seriously short changes and incredible adventure. Well done Sir.

    2023 Montana Bighorn Sheep Tag/Hunt...

    It's hard for me to stomach the fact that some people who don't care about sheep hunting still draw tags, yet others, who would kill for a tag, never draw. Love the story...keep it up.

    My First Sheep Hunt - NV Desert Bighorn

    The "fever" is contagious and killing a book ram only fuels the fire! Congratulations again es. I'm glad you got in with all the 0/8ths that you needed. I hate when a ram misses by an eight or two. Absolutely gorgeous ram!

    Ammo Seek has some online availability but it's not cheap, especially with Hazmatt fees.

    MOVI in Hell's Canyon Big Horns

    Twenty years ago, when I hunted my first sheep, I was sure that by now we would have found a cure for Movi. Millions of dollars and tons of research later, Movi still regularly raises it's ugly head. We could all be hunting sheep if we could find a cure. Sad deal for sure.

    I picked up a brick of GM210M primers online two weeks ago, but I had to be quick on the keyboard and they were not cheap. In recent weeks, I've seen them pop up on different sites. I hope that's a good sign.

    Big news in Nevada.

    NV has such great moose habitat I'm sure they will eventually over run the place;)

    Who all here has won a Sheep raffle?

    The really interesting thing about that is right after the banquet he found out he had cancer. He wouldn't have been able to go on the hunt anyway, but with treatment he eventually conquered the cancer. Despite us being complete strangers we have since become good friends and we get together...

    Who all here has won a Sheep raffle?

    Well I won a Dall sheep hunt at a Utah FNAWS banquet in 2009. The winner of the previous year was asked to draw the ticket and he drew his own name. He didn't think it fair for him to win again so he drew my name, basically giving me his hunt. The hunt was in 2010 and I was also able to work...

    Beginner-Mountain Goat Hunting

    If you are dead set on hunting a mountain goat, I agree with barefoot. On my stone sheep hunt my son accompanied me and took this book billy for under 10K. That was in 2017 so I'm sure it's more expensive now, but we saw lots of great goats on our hunt. If you are set on getting lucky I would...

    Wyoming Sheep Point Thought

    I saw the writing on the wall immediately when they instigated point systems so I threw my hat into every State I could afford. I have since drawn all that I started on the ground floor with. Now I wish I would have started in every state and every species. I also started putting my son in for...

    Can sheep and goats see blaze orange?

    I have no experience proving anything about sheep's vision other than the wild sheep I have encountered have great eye sight. One study I found claims they can pick out movement from up to a mile away. Another study of domestic sheep notes that their eyes have photoreceptors with rods and...

    Nevada Desert Sheep hunt

    Heck of a ram and an even better story. In my mind, because sheep tags are so hard to get, no sheep hunt should be easy. You obviously faced many obstacles, but none of them kept you from going forward. Well done my friend, and best wishes on your next adventure.

    Bison bullet

    I shoot the 177g Hammer Hunters's in my 28 nosler and I've had great success on a variety of big game. If I were working up another load, I'd probably drop down to something a bit lighter like you are leaning toward. I think you would be happy with that choice

    West Texas Aoudad Down

    Wouldn't it be great if desert sheep were as hardy as Aoudad and they were as plentiful? That would hunting opportunity I would support and participate in!
