    Reintroduced CO Wolves

    I went to Yellowstone park a number of years ago. As you drive around you see groups of people looking at critters. While driving we saw a smallish ratty looking coyote, decided to turn around and go back to relook at something. After we did that we went back to where we saw the coyote. A whole...

    280AI Savage UltraLight with Maven S5 update

    That bolt will smooth out in time. I have a pair of Ultralights and both bolts were rough when new. Now I hardly notice it, hopefully yours will smooth out also

    Joint Replacements and Hunting

    Will be almost 2 years since my knee replacement. I envy everyone of you that it worked for. I still am struggling with mine, and yes I did the PT, believe me I did the PT. DR said your knee is fine, you can walk and get up out of a chair what more do you need. Not happy. Muscles in my knee are...

    Anyone chase coyotes with snowmobiles?

    Try that in Minnesota and the law will take your snowmobile and you will get a hefty fine. Coyote is considered a non game animal and no closed season but running them or chasing them with a snowmobile will get you in serious trouble.

    How Far with a 7mm Rem Mag?-Elk Hunting

    Go the the range, shoot a bunch. There is a big difference between hitting where you want at 300 yards vs 600 yards. And then try it without being on a shooting bench, that will really tell you if you want to take a shot or not. I passed up shooting at an elk last fall at 750 yards. To much wind...

    Costco gas

    Just looked at an app for gas. This is in central mn. Costco gas 2.59, stop n go an d GFI gas are the same. Everyone else is 2.65 -2.89. My truck has a 36 gallons tank, so it can make a difference on a tank full. But I wouldn't sit in line for a nickel's worth of difference.

    What rifles are the least picky with ammunition?

    Well I have had multiple savage rifles that didn't shoot worth a darn. I only have 2 with the factory barrels on them and they have a Proof barrel on them, Ultralights. Had a 25/06, a couple 7mm rem mags and a 300 win mag, all are now carrying different barrels. Had a Tikka 7mm rem mag I...

    Hammer Bullets - what makes them so great?

    I tried Hammers right away. Shot a elk and a mule deer and my son shot a mule deer, relative shot a couple big bull elk. All dead but.... I like a bigger exit hole. All these were shot with a .284 diameter 143 HH. But .284 hole in and .284 out does not leave much of a blood trail. Others have...

    280 Ackley Barnes 139gr LRX

    I've loaded Barnes bullets for years. I almost always start .040 off lands and then move deeper by 0.010 so I am at .090. Three shot groups to start with. One of those loads should be the clear winner. I found that moving .020 off is just to much.

    Anyone ever use these tire chain gadgets?

    I hear you...But you can get all different styles of rims and lots of different options on how far they stick out. The ones I chose just moved my wheel out another 1.5 inches. So the wheel is almost flush with the edge of the wheel well. I didn't want them sticking out and throwing mud, snow...

    Anyone ever use these tire chain gadgets?

    Thats why I put different rims on my truck. Got rims with a different offset so the rim and tire are now 1.5 inches farther out. Now I have enough clearance to put chains on.

    Anyone ever use these tire chain gadgets?

    I bought a set of new truck rims that the offset is different than the originals. They put the tire out farther and that way I have the clearance to put chains on the front tire. I put my 10 ply tires on the rims also. So far I have not had to chain up....close though. And if I go down the one...
