    WTB: Mystery Ranch Pop Up 18 (older generation)

    If any of you have, or see an older pop up 18 for sale, please let me know. I'm not interested in one of the newer ones that has the "luggage extendable handle" pole system on it. Thanks!

    Peregrine Fund's New Video on Non-Lead Projectiles

    Not trying to start a fight, but I thought this was an interesting film on the effects of lead ammo on wildlife.

    Big Woods Beatdown 2024

    It’s mid-winter and I’ve got the flu. Time to write up a bit of a year-in-review for the 2024 hunting season. I didn’t get out quite as much this year, but I made some great memories and had a ton of fun. Spoiler: the Adirondack bucks kicked my ass again and I loved it (mostly). Here are some...

    Michigan Changes to Youth and Disabled Hunts

    I thought this was pretty interesting. That's a bold way to go about forcing the issue on antlerless harvest... I have to think there was another way to accomplish this that didn't land as such a kick in the crotch to the very deserving hunters who can hunt this season... That said, I do...

    It's been a great Spring for wildflowers here! I've learned some new species and seen some beautiful examples of the classics. I'm posting some pics below. Anyone else enjoying the wildflowers recently? Post your pics.

    7600 Makeover

    I thought I'd post up a picture, or two of a winter project, which I've just finished. The stock on my Rem 7600 (early 80's vintage) was looking a little rough and I wasn't satisfied with the recoil pad I had on it, or with the LOP. I use this rifle for tracking and still hunting when I know...

    wood stain for bleached antler bases

    So, I'm doing a euro for a friend and the antler bases got pretty bleached during whitening. I read that Minwax Provincial woodstain was the perfect color to touch it up and I'd have to say that's true. However, the stain adds a shine to the bases that doesn't match. I've played around with...

    "Killing Animals Helped Me Make Peace With Death" by Nicole Qualtieri

    I just read this piece by Nicole Qualtieri: https://thewestrn.substack.com/p/killing-animals-helped-me-make-peace?utm_source=/browse/literature&utm_medium=reader2 Pretty interesting stuff; some great writing and some good (and some challenging) observations. The things that really stuck out...

    Wet Wool, Woods, Whitetails, Wish it Weren't Over- My 2023 Deer Season

    It’s that time of the year. Deer season is officially over and I had such an enjoyable, frustrating, beautiful, maddening season. I’m feeling the loss today. There’s just something a little shocking and depressing about the realization that if I have a thought and want to go somewhere, try...

    I guess this is cold water for anyone who thought prices were going to come down from where they are now. Looks like they'll get worse... https://www.newsweek.com/ammo-prices-set-rise-substantially-vista-outdoor-firearms-1850528

    Why do you like your gaiters?

    I'm in the market for a new pair of gaiters. In a perfect world, they'd go hunting sometimes, skiing sometimes, hiking sometimes... They'd be a drab color, tough and they wouldn't be super noisy either, if they rub against each other. And they need to be able to fit around legs that are not...

    A little good news on the salmon front..

    How often do we get to say that?! Atlantic Salmon need all the good news they can get: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/more-wild-atlantic-salmon-found-in-u-s-rivers-than-any-time-in-the-past-decade-officials-say/ar-AA1gkSpx?ocid=entnewsntp&cvid=c179e736d1704c4798c5f8d2b43e1004&ei=9

    WTS Orvis Clearwater 8'6" 5wt Fly Rod, 2 piece-Excellent Condition

    Looking to sell this fly rod and figured I'd post it here before I turn to Ebay. The rod has only been used 2 or 3 times. It's a nice rod (which I more or less inherited), but I've already got an 8'6" 2 piece 5 weight. Condition is excellent, hardly any sign of use. Comes with the pictured...

    Where do your priorities lie? A (minor) reloading dilemma...

    I'm having some promising results working on a practice load for my 7mm-08. Currently using Varget and 139 grain SST's. At this point, I've got three charge weights that might be worth pursuing. Given the following data, which would you go after? 40 grains @2.8": 5/8" group at 100, ES is...

    Wyoming NR General Elk Regions

    I finally went to look at the proposed regions for NR general elk hunting and was surprised. I was expecting more regions and hunters having to limit themselves to smaller areas. In this arrangement, it seems like the vast majority of hunters will be choosing between only two regions. Does...

    Thoughts on Extreme Velocity Spread and Fixing it

    I'm curious how others tinker (or don't) with high ES. I'm trying to make a decision about whether to stick with a loading project for a while longer, or if I should just start over with different components. The quick version: I'm trying to work up a new practice load for my 7mm-08. I'm...

    Wait times... need some other perspectives

    I'd love some other perspectives on the wait time for a euro mount. My son shot a pronghorn buck in late September. We got the number of a guy who does euro mounts, from the butcher where we dropped the meat off (this is in Casper, WY). I texted back and forth with the guy and he said to drop...
