    Lightweight One Piece Rings And Bases

    I've always liked and had good luck with the Talley lightweight rings. I think having the one piece makes things easier and there are fewer points of failure. The Leupold Backcountry rings look sweet too.

    Still Hunting Mule Deer in the Mountain West?

    Still hunting thick timber is tough, but I've had success moving between smaller scale broken country. Basically a move and glass strategy. You don't sit in one area very long, but pick a few areas to hit during the day and move slowly between them glassing along the way.

    Cutting Carbon Barrel?

    Hey all, I'm thinking of going suppressed at some point. I have a Bergara with a carbon barrel and it is 24". The reason I haven't gotten a suppressor yet is because of the increased length and weight. Ideally I'd go to 21" or 20" and have a 6" suppressor. Has anyone cut a carbon barrel? Is it...

    US and Israel attack Iran

    Yea true, maybe I still think there is a shred of hope that our government would ever do anything to actually help Americans, but that's probably me being naive. Here's to higher gas prices!

    US and Israel attack Iran

    So why aren't we bombing Russia or China or North Korea? The talking point about 'we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud' is old news. It worked in the past, but Americans aren't buying it anymore. Our own intelligence said Iran was nowhere close to getting a nuke. Israel said they...

    Carrying Capacity Not What It Seems

    Wind and solar are huge issues - seemingly more so solar, but it depends. Solar arrays have to have perimeter fencing by law and that precludes any animal moving through the area, which is direct habitat loss. A study by Hall Sawyer found that animals use the area surrounding the solar farm less...

    US and Israel attack Iran

    I don't have contempt for Israel. I'd do the same thing if I were them - try to get the United States to do whatever they want us to do. My problem comes with our leaders who are allowing Netanyahu to dictate our foreign policy. Rubio said it as clear as day yesterday - we knew Israel was going...

    US and Israel attack Iran

    We can't because we aren't one nation. Our government is run by Netanyahu who has immense contempt for the United States.

    US and Israel attack Iran

    I thought we took out their nuclear program last June? Trump said, "Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat," Trump said. "Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran's key nuclear...

    BLM lands under threat

    I don't know a lot about Pearce, but am watching the hearing now and many of the Senators are expressing deep concern for sell off of public land, which is great to see. BTW, anyone know the average age of this committee?? If I didn't know any better it could be taking place at a nursing home!

    WY Game and Fish seeks information on twelve pronghorn illegally killed near Kemmerer

    Interesting - if you could send me the data/research on that I'd be really interested in taking a look. Thank you.

    Apparently this bill wouldn't just outlaw hunting and fishing, but ranching, trapping mice in your house, etc.
