    Action Blueprinting a Weatherby Mark V

    I'm thinking about ordering a Weatherby Mark V Hunter (probably in 308) in the not too distant future. It gives the option of Action Blue Printing for $250. I am not a gun guru so I was hoping to get your thoughts on whether this is something that is worth it? If it is, I will spend the extra...

    Idaho Youth Hunt

    My son will be old enough to hunt Idaho in the not too distant future, and I am in the process of beginning my research for tags he can get. New Mexico has no minimum age and seems pretty straight forward other than difficulty getting drawn. Idaho comes up as a next state to be ready for...

    Backyard Buck

    So I've hunted on a family hunting property in Minnesota my whole life. 4 years ago I moved just across the border into Wisconsin. I decided to buy my first Wisconsin hunting license this year in hopes that I could sit in my back yard with my sons and at least get to hunt with them more there...

    Swarovski ELs

    Just thought I'd post and let folks know Cabela's has Swarovski ELs (x42 and x32, not the x50) on sale right now. I don't know if it's a new normal price with their new bino coming out, but it's a pretty good deal if you've been looking. You can get gift cards at raise.com and then go through...

    Glassing and burn areas

    I am finalizing plans for my elk hunt this fall. Assuming I don’t draw any of my long shot applications, I will be archery hunting elk probably the first week of September. The unit I am planning on hunting in Idaho generally ranges in elevation from 6000 to 8000 ft. Looking at onX and google...

    Digiscoping Adapters

    I just wanted to share my experience with some different digiscoping adapters that I tried recently in case anybody else is considering purchasing one soon. I recently bought and tried 3 different ones. The first I tried was the Novagrade Double Gripper. This thing is built like a tank, and I...

    Leupold Warranty Results

    Just wanted to give a shout out to Leupold. Recently sent in an old pair of Wind River Cascades. Dad and I bought a couple pairs from Cabelas about 10 years ago when they had them on a really good sale. The eyecup on one of the pairs started not turning very good a few years ago. Probably...

    Which Swarovski STX Objective Lens?

    Not sure I'll be able to swing it real soon, but it's fun to dream (plus more tempting now that I've learned I can get about 30% off). Thinking about getting a Swarovski STX in the future, but I keep jumping around on which objective would be best....65mm, 85mm, or 95mm. I wouldn't be able to...

    When are Wyoming antelope quotas set?

    My uncle told me he'd like to use his antelope points this next year, so I'm dropping my other plans out west for next year to help him. I was wondering if anybody knows when they Game and Fish will publish their quotas for the year? Obviously after much of winter, but I'm just wondering if...

    Colorado Copper Muzzleloader Bullets

    OK, so I know basically nothing about muzzleloaders. I got a TC Triumph several years ago and have never shot anything with it. When I bought the gun, Cabelas set me up with maxi-balls for the idea that I might take it to Colorado and sabots for Minnesota. Well, here I am many years later and...

    Wyoming Applications

    I am looking at possibly doing a cow elk hunt in the near future to get some knowledge of the area before burning points on a bull tag. I was looking at draw odds for the reduced price cow/calf tags and noticed that tags are available in the leftover draw for some areas even though there were...

    Prayers Needed

    I just wanted to post up a request for prayers for my friend and co-worker, Jeremy. Jeremy moved from Texas to Minnesota almost a year ago to get the healthcare he needed for his declining medical issues. In the time that I’ve worked with him, he has been to the ER multiple times and had...

    Got my Christmas present..I mean..my wife's Christmas present :)

    With planning on purchasing a home soon, I decided now was the time to buy a new rifle for my wife, son, and baby on the way before I have a big mortgage and don't want to spend the money! Ended up getting the Weatherby Vanguard Camilla in 7mm-08, Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x44 (thanks schmalts!), and...

    Buying Guns Online

    I am considering buying a new rifle for my wife. I found one I like on budsgunshop.com. I've never bought a gun online and was just wondering if anybody has experience using this place? Good experience or bad experience? Thanks!

    Caribou Bags...which size?

    I was wondering what size Caribou Bags you guys would recommend? The bags would primarily be used for elk and/or mule deer, so I was leaning towards the elk/medium magnum pack. From those with experience, would you also be able to make this size work for a shiras moose? Other than weight, is...

    Any Colorado DOT employees out there?

    I have been stuck in my rut of depression for not being able to go out west this year, so my wife is asking me to consider if I'm being called to move out there. I was wondering if there are any Colorado DOT employees out there that might be able to answer a few of my questions?
