No, muzzleloader season is over and we’re back home now. The big bull will have to wait for his free truck ride until I go back next month for first rifle.
It’s a Williams Western Precision peep and front globe. There was just enough meat in front of the globe to cut threads for the brake and still use the original tapped holes for the sight.
Yes, it is a very accurate rifle (when scoped it is astonishingly accurate). It’s also not like I handed a novice teenage shooter a muzzleloader and said shoot the deer at 200 yards. She shoots a few hundred .243 & 7-08 rounds every year and burned through a full jug of BH209 over labor day...
Saturday morning was very foggy in camp, but we headed up the road to them same place we had been close on the bucks Thursday evening. The fog cleared around 10,500’ and we set up to glass. Within 5 minutes we had several groups of bucks sighted. We headed up the hill as more fog was...
Friday morning it was raining but we headed to the back of the drainage, the “honey hole” where I have killed several bucks and bulls over the years and where she killed a bull last year in first rifle season.
Cold rain and fog set in, we dropped below the cloud line but visibility was poor...
My daughter was lucky enough to draw both a buck tag and an elk tag for the Colorado Muzzleloader season in the “kids draw”. She is 16 going on 17 next month and already has a few mountain hunts under her belt. Due to school commitments we weren’t able to get to her unit until Wednesday...
He was one of my favorites, I was friends with his Managers’ girlfriend in the late ‘90’s and wound up hanging out with him a few times.
Had a really funny situation once were I had a some potential clients at a Spurs game 15 or so years ago and Charlie was there - one of them was a big fan of...
Seldom seen such complete domination as the Cowboys put on the giants tonight. I predict the “Cowboys Letdown” will be especially brutal this year and will be hard on many livers down here come January.
One of my hunting partners has a hard time sleeping in the backcountry, last season he packed in a ultralight cot, two pillows and 4 ounces of whiskey for each night. Worked great for him at 11,000’. I use a cheap inflatable and a jacket, but next year I’m trying some of his whiskey -...
Elections have consequences…one party is just plain stupid and the other is bat 💩 crazy/communist/totalitarian dipshits. Pick your poison. This is why many (myself included) will never vote for “her” party no matter how dumb the other sided is; we can recover from dumb, but I’m not sure we can...
The next 5 year season structure in CO will likely do away with NR OTC; at least that’s what all the talk is…2024 will still be OTC, after that the 2025-29 structure just might address the OTC conundrum
A full case = higher pressure and higher velocity. More brass in the case means less room for powder, thus a higher load density (a more “full” load of powder). If you don’t have any pressure signs you can up the powder in the Hornady Brass and get a higher velocity - but the same load may...
Speaking of spending $$$ on kids…has anyone shopped cars lately? I just bought my 16 year old a vehicle that cost more than every vehicle I owned combined until I was in my late 30’s…
