I live in P-West and you really can't compare P-West to the City of Pueblo. Not real sure about the dynamic of Great Falls but it sounds very similar and within 10 minutes of the crime and congestion you can have a nice area. Close enough to the city for good jobs, entertainment, groceries...
Thanks all! I will be looking a few. I have a 10/22 and a marlin from my childhood. I am wanting to replicate a big game shooting situation so will stick to bolt action for that reason. I may have to buy 2 because my wife needs a youth model and they just look damn fun to shoot. For the...
I pulled some 2019 deer roasts out a few months ago to make room for the 21 season to make jerky and they were still perfect. Found a 2017 antelope backstrap that got tucked away as well during the search. It was vacuum sealed as well. You would have thought I won the lottery as much ruckus...
I am going to buy a bolt action .22 LR to hopefully help my wife practice getting onto target faster and pulling the trigger sooner. We will either shoot targets or prairie dogs. She shoots a Ruger American now and I could get one in .22 LR but wondered if anybody has better experience or...
Southern CO would be a great move for you! Any form of LE you could provide would be great! Have some clients and friends that are in L.E. and could use some help! No idea about internal politics but there will that B.S no matter where you go.
I had this issue a while back. One time my wife didn't shut it completely, the second time we believe meat shifted and cracked the door open. Either way I installed these door locks from amazon. We leave the key in but keep it at the top so kids can't open, but this has been a life saver for...
I have been using the Hornady Interlocks for my .243 - 100 gr, .270 - 130 gr, and .30-06 - 180 gr and all shoot just fine for me. I can get good groups on the range and have been all pass through shots on all animals so that's all I really require!
It's nice to have help in the processing department this year. My friend has been doing awesome for his first round of butchering and processing. My wife is always amazing at whatever I need help with. So far we have 10 packages of backstrap in the freezer, 12 pounds maple breakfast sausage...
Opening weekend antelope is always a blast. I got to hunt the whole weekend which is awesome, but also frustrating. I was able to draw a buck tag and then pick up a doe tag in the reissue list. My wife and good friend drew doe tags and I was also able to pick them up buck tags off the reissue...
I am and will be hunting Colorado FYI
Straight from the regs: Good work @Hunterbug
Maybe I will just carry a slingshot and a .22 pistol and see which one I like. May turn into a grouse hunt and hope to see a deer and elk
FOR SMALL-GAME BIRDS (EXCEPT MIGRATORY BIRDS: SEE PAGE 6–7) 1.Rifles...
You might be onto something with a .22 pistol. Thinking about the single action 22 revolver cabelas has for $149.99. Doesn't have to be pretty but light would be better!
My dad tried with the .30-06 and was a few inches lower than the head. Nothing left to eat after that blow!
