    Colorado 1st rifle

    Got home to Illinois on Sunday at 1800 from a cruise to Canada. Finally left home at 0930 on Monday. Arrived at our cabin in Colorado this afternoon! Finally! My buddy has been here a couple days now and doing a little scouting. Last night he found 7 elk with one small shooter bull. This morning...

    Weatherby issues

    I didn’t intend to kick a hornets nest, already did that. Really just wanted to let everyone know that the rifle is a shooter now. I didn’t give up on it. No longer upset at Weatherby, very happy with the rifle. I buy another on in the right caliber in a heartbeat.

    Colorado OTC - How bad is it

    Medicine Bow in Wyoming is worse than anything I’ve seen in Colorado. Hunt the grizzly units in Wyoming if you want the place to yourself.

    Weatherby issues

    I got it, mounted a scope, changed my mind and put another one on. Found Hornaday brass and started working on a load. That brass was a mistake. Gave up on that load and rifle and put it in the safe. Got a couple other rifles and just never went back to the 300 Weatherby. Drew a Wyoming elk tag...

    Weatherby issues

    They never said. All they told me that it shot perfectly with the factory 180 TSX. Got it home, cranked up my TSX load and it’s a shooter.

    Weatherby issues

    Know I’m dragging up a 2 year old thread, but had to say this. After getting the WeatherMark back and all the complaining I did, I’ve worked up a 180 TSX load for it and it’ll shoot .75 all day long. It’s the rifle I’m taking to Colorado this fall. Looking to put a notch on the stock, so to speak.

    Chest freezer

    Guess me asking a general question was a mistake. More detail. I’m elk hunting 1st rifle out of a cabin in town with the wife and a couple buddies. The wife and I are going to Las Vegas after the hunt for 5 days after the hunt. If the processor can’t or won’t hold on to the meat, I need a way to...

    Chest freezer

    Not that many. Hunted this unit several times before during archery, saw some sign but never a fur ball. Truck will be sitting in town at a cabin with the ladies. I’ll be up in my tent until I drop on.

    Chest freezer

    Tried the search, but didn’t find an answer. For you guys that haul a chest freezer, what size do I need? I can bone out if needed.

    Elk rifle

    I may be the guy rolling down the road looking like a portable armory. There’s a 7mm, couple 300’s, a 388, a 270 and a ‘06 that I haven’t drug out yet. A 5 day hunt and I could carry a different rifle each day. Wish you guys would just tell me which one to take!!
