    WY preference point increase

    Lol - That would be Colorado at the moment.

    Cumulative burden of taxes

    Sorry, no AI used. Strike one. And tax policy is all political. Even the definition of "fair" relative to taxes is political. Strike two. "Poor ... don't have any money." is hyperbole, at least in the US. It is also addressable although it is highly unlikely it will ever be 100% solved...

    Cumulative burden of taxes

    If you want to simplify the tax code, then a flat tax that is consumptive based is likely the best approach. Eliminate income taxes and its various cousins. The current US economy if almost 70% personal consumption based. If you include USG consumption this value rises to between 78% and 85%...

    Factory Loads

    Should be able to get factory velocities without too much effort. All of my handloads are better than factory speeds; not by a bunch but certainly noticeably better. Once I get acceptable velocities (with no pressure signs), then accuracy dominates. I have yet to have the fastest load also be...

    7 PRC and Magnum Powder

    I've been using H4831SC in my 7mm RM with a 150-gr CX. 0.54 MOA (max) after load development based on a total of 95 shots to date. I also tried H1000 when I was starting my load development but didn't get as good performance or group size. Shooting the factory Hornady CX loads initially...

    Forest Service Reorg - Progress or Politics

    At a personal level, I have my doubts on this re-org but I am willing to take a wait-and-see position for now. That Utah Governor Cox supports this is not surprising. I am surprised that Polis is backing this plan. Polis is a friend to land conservation folks, but is certainly not a supporter...

    .308 Winchester Factory Ammo Options

    I'll add another vote for the 165 gr trophy bonded tip. I have taken both deer and elk with these. My 308 also really likes the 175-gr terminal ascent. Both have been very consistent and accurate.

    Extreme Downsizing of Dept. of Interior. Hits just keep on coming.

    I take it then that you reject the concept of taxation without representation.

    Colorado Tag Surrender Question

    You gain a preference point if you are unsuccessful in your first choice but draw a second choice tag. You only lose preference points if you draw a first-choice tag. If you return a tag, you get your money refunded.

    Versatile Riflescope Recommendations

    I'm a Leupold guy but that won't likely fit your budget goals (the VX-4HD is $1000 retail but you can probably get it for less than that). I have heard some decent comments around the Burris scopes but I don't have first hand experience with those. Vortex might have something that works for...

    GIVEAWAY!!! Caribou Gear Rifle Cover

    For sure plans: - Moose in northern BC in September, 10 days of hunting - rifle Highly likely to draw here in Colorado as a resident - 1st rifle elk - 2nd rifle elk (cow) - 2nd or 3rd rifle deer - 4th rifle deer (private land with bow) Unlikely but hopeful: - WY elk, rifle - CO pronghorn, rifle

    What's your rule of thumb for changing COAL?

    As others have said, I don't get too concerned about COAL. I find where the bullet I am working with touches the lands and then back off 15 or 20 mils as my starting point. I will go 50 mils for monos. I start 2 grains below max recommended based on powder vendor and bullet vendor data then...

    ACTION ALERT: CPW Commission vote on fur ban

    It is a joke. But it fits the trend that has been evolving for the last 8 years (and in reality the last 16 counting Hickenlooper) of methodically chipping away at 2A rights, hunting, and now trapping rights while embracing more and more "feel good" policies of the welfare state mentality...

    Interesting verdict related to 2A

    Per your earlier comment, take guns/2A out of the equation - what I see as the underlying issue is if parents can/are held responsible for their underage children's actions (bad, good, indifferent), then parents also need to have clear authority over their children in all aspects. That includes...

    Thanks. I'll keep that in mind for my next trip.

    Travel Insurance

    My first trip was essentially after the COVID stuff so I can't comment on that aspect. Costs are dependent on your age, overall trip cost (or the portion you want to cover), and strangely enough, where you reside in the US. Maybe that is to reflect potential extraction costs. Also depends on...

    Travel Insurance

    I had insurance for my 2024 Canada moose hunt and will have it for my 2026 Canada moose hunt. Big consideration is to cover costs of an emergency extraction event. Last minute cancellation due to health issues was secondary for me.
