    Ball park price for a pre 64 Model 70?...

    It's not the featherweight or super grade. I've only seen in it pics so far, so its hard to get a feel for condition. I'm gonna get a look at it next week.

    Ball park price for a pre 64 Model 70?...

    ..243 Win. serial number is under 356,000. It has had one owner that I personally know, handed down from Grandfather to Grandson. Its in pretty decent shape. I am seeing prices all over the map on the net. Any guidance is appreciated. The seller is a good friend of mine and I want to give him a...

    Small Town Living??

    I've lived in both large cities and small towns. I live in a small town now. The other day I stopped in at my local gas station. I asked the owner, Rick, if he sold rubber snubbers for tire chains. He said, "No, but there are a couple of sets hanging on the wall in my garage. Swing by and grab...

    I thought this was interesting

    According to IDFG website 78 wolves have been killed in the Salmon zone since 2011. 37 were killed in 2011-2012 24 were killed in 2012-2013 17 were killed in 2013-2014 (12 were hunted / 5 were trapped) 5 killed so far in 2014-2015 (Bear in mind most kills take place in late winter). I wouldn't...

    Western Sportsmans Alliance?

    The minute we get non-hunters providing funding, then we'll end up with them on our Fish and Game Commissions. Having them making policy decisions on hunting and wildlife management would be the absolute worst cases scenario. Look no further than Washington state if you want to see where it...

    Western Sportsmans Alliance?

    Very thought provoking topic. I've been involved with a few regional sportsmen's organizations, and it was one of the most frustrating experiences ever. Not only is it hard to get hunters to come to an agreement an any particular issue, its even harder to get them to take action. Then, even if...

    Utah v. United States

    What I find so ironic, is that the politicos behind this stuff, that claim to be so conservative, always pick these lost cause issues (i.e. taking control of federal lands, nullification of federal laws) instead of actually accomplishing something useful or relevant, like say property tax...

    Only one gun

    I'd go with a bergstutzen / combination gun. Probably a .270 Win. over a 3 inch 12 gauge.

    new to Idaho

    Here is the question I always ask Idaho Fish and Game, if elk numbers are so "healthy", why was our season length cut in half and our cow elk season eliminated in 2009? Ask them for 10 year trend data on cow / calf ratios and calf survival rates and see what their answer is. IDFG depends on...

    More domestics and bighorns

    Too bad there is such a polarized atmosphere with regards to wildlife conservation. It feels like there is no reasonable middle ground left.

    new to Idaho

    I'm in North Idaho too. There are a few major challenges to elk hunting that you're going to find here: 1. We've had a huge influx of people in the last decade, and a lot of the private / public land interface, that used to be really good winter range, has been converted into high density...

    Idaho OTC Sheep tags...

    ...unfortunately you need a time machine to get one. I was going through some old photos of my great uncle, Dell Hoffman, who recently passed away. I found this pic of him with a mountain goat and a sheep he killed on the same hunt in the Big Horn Crags in the 1940's.I will scan the whole...

    What about crossbows in Montana's archery season?

    Are over the counter tiger tags available?

    Elevation training mask?

    The key is to allow sufficient time for acclimatization to higher altitude. There is no substitute for it, regardless of your physical conditioning.

    Where would you hunt?

    You've got way better mule deer hunting in Montana than we do in Idaho.

    For starters?

    The one piece of RCBS equipment I would avoid is their case trimmer, check out Lyman or others instead. I second the suggestion of an automatic, electronic powder dispenser and scale. I have the RCBS Chargemaster and I really like it. It's a huge boost to productivity, and I've noticed more...

    Coyote/Wolf Derby Canceled?

    A few years ago I took a reporter from NPR elk hunting. After the story he produced on our trip aired, I got several recurring death threats by telephone for a period of a few weeks. Unfortunately, law enforcement rarely does anything in these cases. Several years ago, some animal rights...
