    Losing access

    I lost half my whitetail access a few years back so I understand. It's becoming more and more common and to a certain extent driving crowding in the western public lands I think. While it's frustrating to have someone with bigger pockets lease or buy something out from underneath you, the...

    film permits on public land

    So does this mean Vin Diesel can just start filming "Fast and Furious 17: Supervolcano" on the loop road in Yellowstone? But, seriously, is there still some mechanism in place to prevent a situation like that?

    Hodgdon acquires Ramshot & Accurate Powder

    As far as I know, only Vihtavuori has manufacturing capability and Hodgdon/Western and Alliant contract out (to several of the same companies like General Dynamics). But anyway, I fail to see how reducing the number of distributors is going to benefit consumers.

    Litter or Stealing?

    What kind of beer?? Beer choice is going to factor heavily into my opinion of the situation.

    Vortex Mistake at Factory?

    It might be worth contacting them if you have the packages and receipts (without those I think there is little point). Its entirely possible there was a batch of incorrectly packaged product. I got boat tail bullets in a flat base package once. Not the same dollar level obviously but the...

    Anybody mess around with hand loading sub-sonic rounds for bolt action rifles?

    I'd look into Hodgdon Trail Boss. Maybe you could get subsonic with heavy bullets? Hodgdon has a procedure on their website for reduced loads with Trail Boss (and H4895 mentioned above).

    Sig Sauer Elite Hunter Tipped

    Sig is loading a Sierra bullet. I remember reading in a gun mag (can't remember which) that it is supposed to be a custom bullet... but the weights/BCs seem to line up with GameChanger/Tipped GameKing. So my suspicion is its a very similar bullet if not the same with a "custom" black coating...

    Public Land Stand Etiquette Question

    Would you take a nap in someone else's tent if the owner wasn't present? It's unoccupied and on public land after all. Ethics aside, I'm not going to entrust my safety to some random person.

    Wyoming results

    Struck out... again. Once it was pretty clear applications in all states were likely going to be up not down, I figured there was a good possibility I'd be shut out. Still disappointed but not exactly surprised either. Ahhhhhhh well. Have the total applicants been released?

    Fly or drive to Wyoming

    I had some fresh seafood that was supposed to be overnighted but instead the market somehow messed up the shipping and it was put in a semi-trailer for a multiple day cross-country drive in the middle of summer... by the time they figured out what had gone wrong there was nothing UPS could/would...

    Fly or drive to Wyoming

    For hunting, I vastly prefer driving. I've flown enough that I've ran into all kinds of problems over the years. Nothing like a canceled flight or a lost bag to throw a wrench into your plans. Not to say that driving doesn't have its share of issues but at least you're somewhat in control...

    Ethics Question - Animal by Camp

    I think I'd pass. I don't like shooting when things like camps or vehicles are downrange of my muzzle even if they are off to the side.

    screwy load... but mostly in a good way...

    Are you using a chrono or just what would be expected from load data? If using a chrono does it match with what would be expected from load data? And the "are you sure your cable box is plugged in" question: are you sure your 100 yards and 200 yards are actually 100 and 200 yards and not say...

    Replacing a Scion XB

    They will be made in Korea so technically they are foreign made.
