    Over / Under Shot Guns - school me on proper choke set-up

    The reason bottom-barrel-first is the "standard" is that conventional wisdom says shooting the bottom barrel produces less muzzle rise, because it's better aligned with the shoulder. If that's really true, it would let you get on the second shot earlier. Whether it's really true, or at least...

    Yellowstone Park in June, any suggestions on where to stay?

    If you want the real Yellowstone experience, stay at Old Faithful Inn. It's a classic old inn, and it's located convenient to most everything in the park. Outside the park, West Yellowstone is good. Cody is a nice spot, but it's too far.

    Low/mid grade over under

    ^^^ Agree. After carrying my old Remington autoloader around for a season looking for grouse, I wanted a lighter gun. The Upland Ultralight is working well and easy to carry. No problems so far, and CZ USA has a good warranty and service if you need it.

    M.L. hunting ban article

    CPW has to follow the law. The CPW FAQ sheet does a good job of presenting the management position, but once it goes on the ballot, their hands are tied. I strongly object to using the ballot box to "manage wildlife," but I don't see anything wrong with the article. It does a reasonable job of...

    Granby Lake Area Vacation

    Actually it opens up after 2:00 now. I think that was a change last year.

    Inreach - which one

    Actually, you can use Inreach Messenger standalone also. It's just a bit more awkward than pairing with phone. And you can actually charge your phone from the Messenger enough to communicate if the phone dies. (Although I haven't tried that.) It has great battery life.

    Which inreach plan?

    Plus there's the $35 annual program fee on the basic plan. But still a good deal.

    Hunter attacked by dogs.

    I've seen some pretty aggressive marmots up in popular hike-to destinations in Rocky Mountain National Park. They're used to hikers feeding them, and they can get surly if you don't.

    Capital Gains

    Not a CPA, but there's bound to be a worksheet that has you report it then figure the tax, which could turn out to be zero. If it's something like stock or property sale, the 1099 won't report the cost basis, so you have to have a way to figure and report the actual gains, not just the sale amount.

    Trick to landing.fish on tiny flies

    You're just gonna lose fish with small hooks, and a size 20 is plenty small. This assumes they're coming unhooked rather than breaking off. Keep a tight line while playing the fish.

    Upland 20 gauge recommendations

    I have one of the CZ OUs in the All-Terrain configuration. They have magnets in the extractors that hold the shells in when the gun is open, so you can load them with the barrel pointing up. I'm not a duck hunter, but I would think that would make them much easier to handle in a blind. Mine is...

    Grouse! Let’s See Them

    The name was officially changed by taxonomists some years ago. "Blue" grouse were divided into two separate species: Dusky Grouse (Rocky Mountains) and Sooty Grouse (Northwest).

    Sheep Grazing Buyout in Colorado

    Lemme make sure I understand this. This is public land, but we have to pay the family to stop leasing grazing rights to them?

    That's what elk hunters say about duskies, but try to find one while carrying the shotgun.

    November Fishing - Estes Park

    Sorry you're not getting much help. I think everyone's afraid to stick their neck out on this. I live in the area. At the moment the weather is holding nicely, but it won't last. By early November there's usually ice, snow, and freezing temps. I personally call it off (fishing) in October...

    Doig

    Dancing at the Rascal Fair. Then English Creek. Then House of Sky. I agree that Maria Montana wasn't as good as the earlier two.

    A little humour for your day

    Packaged for the U.S. consumer. Or at least what they think the U.S. consumer needs to know. That's what's scary.
