Curious who on here has already mowed their lawn? I just got done with my second mowing of the season and everything outdoors is yellow from the pollen, including the air.
First off, I don’t know how accurate this article is, but I’d really appreciate some input from some Washingtonians about what is really going on.
But secondly, game and fish departments are becoming more politicized and/or targeted across the nation, both from within and outside. I think...
Appreciated my short time in WY earlier in October. Got to meet @manitou1 who is a great guy, and he provided me some scouting tips that helped me to learn. I really feel like I was starting to get the hang of a few things, but my 9yo son was getting worn out so we shifted gears after 3 days of...
Trying to find funds to buy the Zeiss that @MTLabrador has listed 😃 and to rearrange my glass on a couple of rifles.
VX5HD 3-15x44 with windplex reticle. It’s been out west a few times and has some love marks, but glass is clean and clear and tracks well. I have both the original dial and one...
Took my daughter out to shoot steel the other day and needed to repaint the orange gong. As a girl dad I have no shortage of pink paint, so that’s what it became. If a 14 year old girl wants to ring pink steel at 400yd then I won’t argue
I drew a deer tag and am looking at 3-4 areas between Buffalo and north of Gillette that I’m wondering how the fires have affected. Anyone mind talking by PM or a quick phone call for me to ask about some specific areas so that I can figure out if the fires went through there? I’m 6 weeks out...
I’m looking for CCI 200s, but it’s good to see some LRPs coming available . I picked up some Fed GMM 215Ms last week even though I don’t normally use them

They have various weights for pre-Covid prices now. .277 130gr and 150gr, and 6.5 140gr are specific ones that I saw. Also .308 168gr NBTs for decent price
Was happy to draw a mule deer tag for this area and plan to be there second week of October. I know that a lot can change between now and then, but how has the rain been in that area, and how does that generally affect the deer in that area? I went out there last year and found a bunch of does...
The sense of accomplishment that you feel when you kill a deer with a load that you made yourself. I had cleaned and prepped the brass, but he primed it, threw the powder, and seated the bullets on his own under my watch. I offered instruction, obviously, and setup and started things for him. 8...
So, this sounds like a cool thing to do to watch the stars with my son out in northern WY, sleeping out under the stars. But am I crazy for being a little nervous about a rattlesnake or scorpion ending up in my or my son’s sleeping bag? Is that a thing, or just some old urban (er, rural) legend...
@Addicting helped me out immensely, and he didn’t even know it. Let me explain…
My family is going through some “stuff” right now, and it seemingly forced me to make a tough decision to bail on my dad and brother for our WY mule deer hunt that we have been planning for a couple of years. I put...
They seem to be shutting down. 50% off site wide, with very little in stock. I’ve heard good things about their optics, but never got around to trying them
How is the snow pack in the Black Hills and areas thereabouts? My family and I are about to head that direction on family vacation in about 5-6 weeks, but want to make sure that we can get around on Custer, Spearfish, Needles and Great 8s highways, Devils Tower, The Badlands, etc. I’d love to...
3/08 is a good date for those of us who don’t prescribe to the thought that the .308 Win is so outdated that it will drop like a rock and bounce off of animals. A great cartridge in its own right, and the parent to many other great cartridges (of course, there is no date that fits the granddaddy...
I see that most are following NFL or FCS football on here, but down here FBS college football is king. Anyone going to watch the game tomorrow night?
I was born in GA and I’m a Dawgs fan so I’ll be pulling for them, but I know that most would rather pull for the underdogs in TCU. Any other...
As an accompaniment to the grilled cheese thread, do you have any odd junk food cravings?
Mine is a taste of my childhood, and probably is more sentimental than good, but every once in a while I really crave…
Doritos and Texas Pete.
What’s your favorite?
Never ceases to amaze me the will to live that wild animals can show. Shot an average sized doe that was totally relaxed this afternoon just before the rain moved in and it got dark. 60yd shot, 270 Win, 140 BTSP over a max load of H4831 at around 3100fps MV. Hit the onside shoulder and exited...
