    Woofs?

    Does anyone know if flyover surveys are ever conducted on general units and where that info can be found?

    12 deer points in WY, what area to apply for?

    I don’t know if you could really go too wrong

    .22 LR round exploding

    I don’t know either. There has been other threads that mention this, but I’ll reiterate it. I’ve never had problems with any ammo until the last couple years. I think there has definitely been some QC issues and I don’t even go through a ton of ammo like some people. If anything it should...

    Savage 111 Stock Bolt Torque

    The new stock seems to be a big improvement. Three bullets in the same hole there in the middle with Winchester 150 grain ammo.

    Savage 111 Stock Bolt Torque

    Alright, so I got the stock put on, all looked good until I started looking at the bolt release area and under the bolt. Under the bolt there is what to me is a significant open space. The fit along the bolt release area just seems awkward. Can anyone tell me if this is normal with a hogue...

    Savage 111 Stock Bolt Torque

    Much appreciated! Is glass bedding worth the effort? I was thinking this stock will be a significant upgrade as is.

    Savage 111 Stock Bolt Torque

    This winter I was shooting my Savage .270 and the factory stock cracked. It was the original cheapo and the gun is over 10 years old so it was probably about time. I just got a Hogue Fully Bedded stock in as a replacement. I’m searching for how much torque should be applied to the bolts that...

    MT Archery General License - First Timer

    I think you’re on the right track. You should be able to turn up elk in both those units, especially during archery. I wouldn’t be overly concerned about predators in either of those units. Fact is the chance of encountering a G bear exists a lot places now. Just stay prepared and take...

    Fatal grizzly encounter

    Sad to hear this. Good to know the bears are out...was wondering with the temps We’vr had the last week. S-3, The amount of predators in NW Montana is unreal.

    2022 app season strategy

    Just curious what unit was that? I hunted an Oregon one pt a few years ago and it was tough, but better than that.

    WY Moose pts, quit now?

    The thing about these draw systems is that somebody always feels like they are getting screwed. I agree preference points don’t seem to make much sense on these big 3 tags. Though, imagine being the 70 year old man with max points the year the draw system changes. Unfortunately little is...

    Welcome Nosler Bullets and Ammunition

    I really liked 150 grain Nosler rounds out of my .270. Definitely my preferred ammunition, but haven’t seen a box around in 3 years. In the meantime I’ve been shooting Winchester and the odd box of federal. Those shoot just fine too. If Nosler ammo shows back up I’ll buy it again, but in the...

    Wyoming Region D

    I don’t know the unit, but it can be a challenge to fill three tags in a week anywhere, as I’m sure you probably know. Depending on how picky you all want to be of course.

    Arizona group hunting

    One of the best parts of hunting Nevada is going along with buddies when they draw. I’m sure it’s the same in Az. Those opportunities don’t come around often

    Gratuitous Bird and Dog Photos

    Opinion on MT Missouri River Breaks Special Rifle Tags (worth the bonus points?)

    Understood. But I’d still gladly give up my points right now to get in there this season.

    Opinion on MT Missouri River Breaks Special Rifle Tags (worth the bonus points?)

    I’ll be the one to disagree here, I guess. I wouldn’t have any Problem “burning” points on those units. Drawing any other unit with “monster” bulls isn’t a sure thing no matter how many points you have. In fact drawing the breaks units isn’t a sure thing either. Breaks elk tags frequently...

    ammo showing up on shelves, but....

    I bought some buffalo bore 305 grain hard cast loads for a new Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan 44 Mag last fall. Normally wouldn’t go out of my way to order ammo online like I did with this stuff, but it was the only available ammo I could dig up. I took the gun to the range and fired 6 shots. When...
