    The Devil's Lettuce

    There is a hotel in Antonito, Colorado called the Steam Train Hotel next to the Cumbres & Toltec train station. Most folks that stay overnight to ride the train stay there. In their description, they say that all of their rooms are non-smoking for cigarettes, but they are 420 friendly. Not sure...

    The Devil's Lettuce

    My only complaint is the odor of the stuff. Skunk weed is (was) a common used term to describe it. The smell nauseates me, and I have to leave the area. Cigarette smoke is close, but weed odor is really disgusting to me. I mean no harm by saying it, so those that disagree, please don't take it...

    I wish

    First thing, I would cut the barrel to a handy 18 inches, and have it cerakoted. That dark wood would have to go. A nice plastic Hawken Hunter stock would be just the ticket. Probably drill and tap the receiver for a Holosun red dot for close cover shooting. Those old timers knew nothing about...

    This has me puzzled

    It's odd that brass fired from the rifle is resized then it won't chamber when loaded. Maybe something going on with the bullet/case mouth?? Are you crimping the bullet in the case? If so, it might be causing a slight bulge when seating/crimping the bullet. If you are crimping, back the...

    RMEF national auction

    It's an auction to benefit the Rocky Mountain "ELK" Foundation. Not the Rocky Mountain "BISON" Foundation. That's another auction altogether.

    Soooo I did a dumb thing

    My reply was a little "tongue in cheek". Any quality brand rings and bases are better than any Chinese knock-offs of the same product. I have found lots of accesories on Ebay are designed for air soft applications, and not the real world of hunting or serious competition.

    Soooo I did a dumb thing

    I guess you are lucky you discovered how crappy they were now, instead of half-way through a match when your scope falls to the ground in front of all the spectators. Go for the Murphy Titanium Rail and Farrell steel rings, or somewhere between that and what you bought.

    Help! I can't get my lab to stop digging!

    I read somewhere about sprinkling cayenne pepper (powder) in the soil where they like to dig. When they get a whiff of that, they won't go to that spot anymore. Not sure if that cures them or just makes them go to another spot. Worth a try.

    Wilderness Athlete Discount code

    Understood. I couldn't find anything on any of the containers about where they are manufactured. Looking at the "About us" on the website, it states" ...our products are manufactured exclusively in the United States in NSF certified facilities.... assuring that every product you purchase from us...

    Wilderness Athlete Discount code

    No problem RemingtonRules, I've been using it for several years, and it seems to help. Might be psychological, but hey I've got to spend my mad money on something.

    New 30-06. Thinking about trying copper.

    Yes, I also remember hearing that the 168 is designed to open at a lower velocity than the 165. It was on Barnes' website, and also on a Youtube video about Barnes bullets where Ms. Barnes (??) or another female person from Barnes explained the rationale of lower velocities in the .308 Win and...

    Bear skull open mouth euro

    Fortunately I never experienced that. The gunsafe is in the corner, and the ceiling light is in the center of the room.

    Bear skull open mouth euro

    My bear skull is in a plexiglass box with a walnut base. I display it on top of my gunsafe. Plexi box keeps it free from dust.

    Proposed Big Game Season Structure (BGSS) 2025-2029 - Colorado

    I read a while back it was coming, and Colorado asked for input by having us register on the "Engage CPW" website. Draw only for archery??? Whose idea was that?? As a non-resident I would expect it for me, but not for residents.
