    Are tungsten turkey loads worth the money?

    It’s expensive but it works. The “worth it” is a personal choice I guess. It’s worth it to me because it kills the hell out of birds in the 50-60 yard range.

    Antelope and Rattlesnakes

    We hunted 4 days south of Casper and the only snake I saw the whole trip was in the Fish and Game office parking lot in Casper itself. Did find a lion killed Mule deer doe buried under a bunch of grass on the bank of the North Platte and no shortage of cactus.

    Compact rifle opinions

    I have Tikka’s but not the compact. No issues at all with any of them. I do have an older Remington model 7 7-08 and it is one of my favorite rifles I have ever owned. 7-08 goes great in a 20in barrel. Good luck.

    Wyoming Success

    We just wrapped up our Wyoming antelope hunt and were able to punch all 3 tags without too much trouble. Other than Kansas City being totally booked up on hotel rooms the trip out was uneventful. We started in Laramie and set out the first morning ready to hunt but more of a scouting day, or so...

    Tundra or Another F-150

    I believe Toyota is in the process of replacing most of the 22/23 Tundra engines. So, it may be possible to find a good value on a used tundra with higher mileage and a new engine.

    Neutering an adult dog?

    I had to neuter a 150lb, 5yr old Anatolian Shepherd a few years ago. No issues whatsoever.

    9/11

    I was in US government class my senior year of HS. I had gotten up early that morning and ran and finished reading “Band of Brothers.” I was a little too patriotic for my own good.

    The Rifle you haven’t shot in a long, long time…but should!

    My percussion rifles, 2 45’s, a 50, and a 54 cal-all hawkens. My old Glenfield 30A 30-30, and my grandpas old Remington 742 carbine in 30-06. All of these guns are special to me but I rarely shoot any of them.

    The unexplained

    I was leaving work early while working nights, so 3-4am. It was very foggy but a full moon. I topped over a hill in town and broke through the fog bank and circling above the town was a smaller than normal 50-100ft long, white, unmarked blimp maneuvering over the town. I pulled over and watched...

    Hawken Rifle build

    Very nice. I have a safe full of cap locks and don’t shoot them enough.

    Boot Recommendations

    I hear you mtmuley, and totally agree. I need more of a recommendation on fit and reliability now that I really think about it. I’m leaning toward the barksdale, schnee’s, or another set of meindl’s.

    Boot Recommendations

    My old Cabela’s Miendl’s have went their last mile and since we drew antelope tags, I need replacements ASAP. I like the 10in boot, the stiff sole, and the idea of cactus not poking me like they do in a lighter boot. Back home I whitetail and turkey hunt in the mountains and those Miendl’s were...

    Mountain Tactical Reviews

    I don’t have any but I assume so. They look better than than the Gen 1. The one I had was clunky and didn’t offer an improvement over the factory, in my opinion.

    Mountain Tactical Reviews

    I have used their stuff for years. No issues other than I did not care for the Gen 1 metal magazines. Other than those, everything else has been awesome.

    Tell me about the Tikka T3

    I have a few. I have owned several. None have shot bad. All have been great rifles. I guess it really depends on what want out of a rifle. My favorite has turned out to be the Superlite in 308.
