    That was fast

    OTC archery tags in AZ sold out in about 8 minutes. There must be 200" bucks around every corner and tree down there! I was planning to try to fill a lull in January so I snagged one. But it looks like I almost missed my window by walking to fill up my coffee at 8:01.

    Help me pick out a new stock

    So my first ever new out of the box rifle was purchased 2 years ago. It's a Weatherby Vanguard Highcountry in 6.5prc. (Link Here) I put a VX-5HD on it that I got from Schmalts and I took my first animals with it last year on pronghorn hunts in Wyoming and Montana (I still need to do the...

    Looking for some help in Region 700 Antelope

    I added on a pronghorn tag to my Wyoming elk hunt based on the late draw results of the Montana antelope draw. Based on the number of tags, I figured this would be a perfect "typical" western antelope hunt and decided to have my kids (6yo son, 8yo daughter) experience it as their first western...

    Best place to try on boots in Bozeman

    I have found myself with the afternoon to kill in Bozeman. Coming from the Midwest we really don't have anywhere to try on a variety of boots. Since I'm here I figure the best way to use my free time is to try to find a pair of boots that actually fits me. Anybody have any recommendations on...

    Why can't I figure out my scope? Am I really that dense?

    I zeroed at around 80 yards as thats the distance I have behind the shop with a gunrange already setup with a huge dirt backstop. Here is my 8 shot group on paper, from a bench, while trying different factory rounds and handloads. After I got done tinkering with handloads, I wanted to see how...

    Beginner Guide to Reloading - What equipment did you upgrade early on?

    So I'm going to be taking the plunge into reloading starting from absolute scratch. No equipment or knowledge on how to do it other than basic rifle and ballistic knowledge needed to use a hunting rifle(and of course what i've picked up through osmosis reading through HT). As I'm doing my...

    Question about road conditions in the Flattops

    So I got a super cheap flight into denver for a scouting trip of an OTC Archery Zone so I'm heading that way this weekend for 4 days. I'm doing some scouting of some trailheads to park at and hike in for a couple of overnight campouts/scouting missions and had a question about some of the road...

    Looking for hunting partner(s): Looking for a hunting partner for individual hunts/states or all around person/group to match up with

    So my father is aging out of being able to accompany me out west each year and my children are too young yet. I'm looking for a hunting partner, essentially, for anyplace I can draw a tag; antlerless or antlered. The people I hunt with here in Michigan that are getting into western hunting are...

    Last Minute Search for a Merriam in NW Nebraska; Looking for recommendations for a camping spot.

    So about a week ago my wife and job both gave me the clear to take an extra long weekend to go turkey hunting. I decided to go on a "toss a dart at a map" type hunt in search of my first Merriams with only a weeks worth of planning. I did the standard gohunt/onx searches for public land, but...

    Training Books/Resources for 99.9% couch potato 0.1% hunting dog

    So we just got a new pet for the family and kids. But, because the dog has the name Retriever in it I thought I would look to try to give some basic hunting training a go for the 1-2 duck hunts per year I go on and the maybe 1 upland hunt per year as the previous three dogs we have had have all...

    Where to Buy OTC Archery Tag after start of season?

    So I'm taking a last-minute(ish) trip for OTC archery in CO and I procrastinated on buying the tag before the start of season and when I saw the warning online that it was going to take up to 21 business days for the mail I just figured I would buy the tag once I got to Colorado. But I...

    Authorization for multiple transactions on CC for Arizona Draw

    I didn't want to muddy up the Arizona CC thread but had a question I wanted to ask about the CC authorizations for the draw processing tomorrow. I know it is recommended to call your CC company to authorize the transactions to prevent them from being denied and then not getting your tag. With...

    Euro mount pronghorn?

    After reading the bugs vs. bury threads and seeing Buzz's foolproof instructions for boiling and cleaning the head I think I am back on the bandwagon for doing it myself instead of sending it out to a taxi to get it done. My only question is what do you have to do to the "sheathes"? I've heard...

    Proof of sex

    So the talk about the guy getting his elk revoked after not tagging it immediately had some additional conversation that I thought warranted a new thread. While I know the rules are different from state to state I had a question about interpreting Wyoming's proof of sex rules. In the regs it...

    Powerbelts or Sabots?

    So I pulled the trigger on the new .50 cal. Cheaper than dirt had it the cheapest and they are gonna ship it to me. My question is this: Should I stick with the powerbelts or get sabots? Obviously powerbelts are more expensive but from what I’ve read, they don’t deposit the plastic from the...

    Why doesn't everyone just get the General Tag???

    So, I may have some things messed up or just might be uninformed on this topic, but I'm having a hard time figuring out why anyone who is hunting elk in Wyoming just wouldn't get the general tag. Here is the scenario I'm painting for myself. 2+ years ago when I started to plan to start...
