Just how important is camo to spot-n-stalk western rifle hunting?
You can spend thousands of dollars for the latest and greatest camo in the world and then most states require you to cover it up with blaze orange...and thousands of animals are still killed every year by these orange pumpkins.- buffybr

Westherby 307 first impressions....
Call me a traditionalist or old fashioned as I consider the Weatherby Mark V rifles some of the worlds best looking rifles. The 307 might be super accurate and shoots well, but IMO, its just flat ugly! -
Stuck Case - RCBS Removal Tool
I've been reloading for well over 50 years and have had an occasional stuck case. I bought a RCBS stuck case removal tool many years ago and it has worked perfectly on every occasion that I had to use it.- buffybr

Sheep habits
^^^^This^^^^ Most of the year, the mature rams will not be with the ewes and lambs. Most of the rams that I have shot were in the months of August and September, and they were either alone or with just one or two other rams. I live in Montana, but I have family in the Denver area. For the...- buffybr

Google Bot Data Mined Super-Fund Site
Yes 302 and the Spanish Peaks units were Unlimited. Some years in the late '70s and early '80 didn't fill their quotas and the season was open from early September through November. I've posted these pics before, but here are the rams that I shot in 302 back in '84 and '86... This second...- buffybr

Cats Aren't Trophies
As a 5th generation Colorado Native, this is one of the main reasons I left that beautiful state back in 1975. Colorado has been taken over by liberal IDIOTS!! -
7mm recoil help
I've had Limbsaver pads on several of my rifles for many years. The last couple of pads that I put on were Hogue. They are a little less expensive than Limsaver, they don't get the "gummieness" like some Limbsaver pads do, and I can't see any difference in recoil between them. I think that a... -
Red Stag
Having lived and hunted in Colorado and Montana for the last 50 years, I have dozens of elk racks hanging in my garage rafters. Only 2 sets of 6x6 antlers I thought were good enough to have shoulder mounts made, and I enjoy seeing them every day on my trophy room walls. Of all the other elk...- buffybr

Red Stag
As to the OP's question, I shot my stag in New Zealand. I had wanted to visit New Zealand since I was a kid and reading about the trout fishing there. You can do DIY public land hunts in New Zealand for Red Stag, Tahr, Chamois, and some other animals, but because NZ is so far away and I...- buffybr

Afreeeca!!
Looking good, and I hope half of it will be big enough for all of your future animals. ;) In 1988 I put a 2000 sf addition on my house, with the upper 1000sf level as my trophy room. At that time I had only done DIY hunts in Colorado, Montana, and an Alaskan caribou hunt so I thought that...- buffybr

Swiss K31 vs. Remington Model 700 for Deer Hunting
It's not the rifle, but the bullet and where it hits the deer that counts. Although I killed my first elk with a borrowed sporterized .30-40 Krag rifle, I'm not a fan of foreign military rifles, and especially for hunting. I've had 3 Rem 700 rifles, still have 2 of them. Two of them, both... -

Question about wearing orange in CO
Many years ago, like almost 50, I did an opening morning deer hunt in the far northwest corner of Colorado. My ex-wife and her brother were with me, and he had to be back in Denver the next day so we only did a morning hunt. As we were leaving the area a Game Warden stopped us. One of the... -
