How's the pronghorn population recovering?
I hunted an area in Central WY this season that I hunted in '18 and '19 and was surprised by the lower numbers. I hope they recover soon.- SticksMcKinley

Help Me Choose a Twist Rate
My T3 Lite in .308 is 1:11. I just zeroed it a couple of weeks ago with 168gr Silvertips and they were sub-MOA if that helps.- SticksMcKinley

Suppressor Accuracy on a Previously Unthreaded Barrel
Yes, I had a Tikka barrel in 7mm-08 cut and threaded for a suppressor by a gunsmith who’s done other great work for me and I could not get decent accuracy with it after that.

Anybody else Hunt with Browning Safari Grade Rifles ?
Yes, I have a ‘73 Safari in .270. Great rifle and no salt problems! Some folks may think that I typed “salt” by mistake for some reason, but a little research on Browning Safari rifles will reveal the history.- SticksMcKinley

Flying with firearms - experiences at large vs. small airports?
I don’t if it’s been said yet, but the post about clothing in the same case as the rifle reminded me that I like to put my rifle in a soft case inside the hard case so that when I get to my destination, I don’t have to lug the big Storm case around. Like others, I also like to remove my bolt and...- SticksMcKinley

Flying with firearms - experiences at large vs. small airports?
I think the carrier is more important than the airport. I’ve always checked firearms with SWA and had no trouble, but I’ve heard of trouble with others. If you get into a pinch with one, just ask for the TSA supervisor to help out. Be polite, don’t say any more than necessary and all that stuff...- SticksMcKinley

Camping info Input (Wyo)
I don't know about fuel stops, but if you have time, you might like to take your son to the Tate Geological Museum in Casper. They have a great dinosaur exhibit.- SticksMcKinley
