The only one I've ever had is the Nutty Buddy and my first one was last fall. I still have a pack dead-eyeing me in the pantry, they just aren't good enough to be eaten out of boredom.
I don't think steel is better in every way for reloading. Most, sure. One way brass is better is, by and large, it is not brittle (aka high ductility) under all stresses. Steel can be brittle under certain conditions. Thus, it may be more prone to brittle failures than brass. Time will tell...
We've shot a bunch of elk/deer with the 145 (.270 Win) and 143 (6.5 Creed), I've always been impressed with how they perform. I think sometimes guys blame the bullet when they make a shitty shot....
For me, it's usually those first couple days of November I notice there are bucks that are shed. My buddy shot a mid 70's goat this weekend and there were several shed goats. He was looking for one he had scouted that was very big and very distinct and never saw it. He's guessing that it was...
The commission also approved an increase in 900 archery tags that resulted in an enormous increase in NR draw success (76%).....There is a major issue with tag allocations that then set up higher tags to NR. That one increase in 900 archery tags increased NR antelope tags by 500. This can be...
OnX sucks ass for roads. They literally label everything. The State of WY has resources that show county roads. Unfortunately, alot of those O & G roads were setup in a way that they originate on private lands (off the county road), so they rely on permission which in my experience doesn't...
I don't think the average resident cares either, but the commission sure as hell does and the legislature prob does, albeit less. It sounds like you have an idea, get some people to sign on and bring it to the Commission or Legislature. The legislature would be the quicker avenue, they meet...
They can, but there is a reason the upland bird 10-day went through the legislature. I meant to say, they won't.
The only reason that the NR 10-day passed is that most (I would assume almost all) upland bird outfitting occurs on private land, so it had no effect on their business. A 10-day...
Had it happen on a buddies spike elk once. Hunting the timber, we get into elk, he shoots one it goes down. We let everything clear out, track and find it. It's laid in some tall trees, blood all around. I sit down like 5 ft away and start pulling out my game bags and knife, etc. Movement...
The only big game animal I have seen that occasionally ignores the wind is antelope. My wind was blowing directly at the buck I killed this year, at 41 yards. It's not the first time I've killed one that almost certainly winded me. Elk/deer, never.
I think the $$$ thing is overblown with older vehicles. Say you have a $500 payment on a truck, which is pretty low in today's market. That's $6000 a year. You can make an older rig pretty damn bulletproof with $6000 as long as it's not a huge piece of shit to begin with.
