    Wyoming big game slam with a bow

    Ron is a really good guy and a heck of an ambassador for bowhunting. Lot of work went into that accomplishment!

    Arizona Elk & pronghorn

    I don’t even look for a credit card hit anymore. My last two tags, a Gould’s turkey and Desert Bighorn, were charged a day or two before the portal was updated. I would check daily multiple times for a pending charge and gave up after 4-6 days. Then when the portal update was done I had tags...

    Nascar favorite track

    Yep, far better to ride along with a pro driving, we are definitely as good as we think we are. Daytona is an awesome ride a long. Have done Michigan and also did Chicago in a 2seat Indy car. Really want to do one and go to Martinsville and Dover.

    Nascar favorite track

    Been to a bunch. Talledega is a hoot but I like Daytona better. If there is any way to do a ride along, do it…it will give you a great appreciation for what those guys are doing even though you are going 40mph slower without 30 other cars inches away… In addition to Daytona and Talledega I’ve...

    2026 Colorado Statewide Bighorn Sheep, Mountain Goat, and Pronghorn Raffles

    I’m in. Remind me again…Swaro #1 is set aside for in person at the banquet? Or did I miss out?

    Chase AZ elk archery tag vs burning points for a late season rifle or muzzy hunt?

    Depends on the experience you want. I’ve hunted one unit in AZ three times; twice early archery and once late rifle. I’d give an appendage to hunt it in September again. You couldn’t pay me to hunt it again in November. I wouldn’t send my worst enemy there on a late season hunt. Other units...

    2025 WY Sheep Hunt

    Really nice work; euro mount rams are the best as you can really appreciate the heft of the horns. Did you end up using the 9.3 x 62?

    Best way to go on a moose hunt without having to draw? $9000.00 budget

    Prices are insane now compared to 2017 but 20-25g each is the start of guided prices. I’d keep looking.

    Broken Fibula

    I did the same thing to my left ankle last thanksgiving. Self medicated till it snapped right before Christmas. Lots of time in a boot. Get as much PT as you can; it took me until MAY before my ankle didn’t hurt like hell. I’m a few years older but still went on a musk ox hunt in March-I’m...

    So much for the vaunted Swarovski warranty.

    Shouldn’t she have a brewski in hand as well?

    So much for the vaunted Swarovski warranty.

    Exactly. And after 22 years. That cost $18.19/year “extra” for one of the finest optical instruments made, and one used in incredibly unforgiving environments. Not much lasts forever and there is no blanket “free” repair. Use some common sense and be reasonable. Find a 22 year old Vortex...

    Another rifle I want but don't need. The .264 Win Mag.

    Yes I reload. Maybe that wasn’t clear how I wrote it. Blaser shoots extremely accurate.

    Another rifle I want but don't need. The .264 Win Mag.

    Hard to get anything to shoot over an inch in any barrel I have for the R8; 243, 264, 300, and 375. I’ve got a safe full of other rifles I never shoot anymore. Very happy with the Blaser.

    In Praise of The Winchester .270. Any good words to say about it ?

    A good .270 can do perfectly what 99.9% of North American hunters need. Mine have taken everything from antelope to Alaska Yukon moose. All time great.
