Otc Sheep
Curious when the ability to purchase an unlimited sheep license OTC went away? It appears it is now through the draw only??? What was the background on this change? Was this change put out for public comment? Seems like that will keep you from buying a bonus point for the year if you apply... -
Powder scale rcbs balance beam bad?
Anyone ever had a balance beam powder scale get out of whack? Recently realized when a buddy did some load development for me that my powder scale was measuring a grain heavy at 41 grains. Needless to say I was getting pressure so we weighed my charge on his scale. Now I’m doing some trouble...- rogerthat

This thread is devoted to voting (and open to additional nominations) for people that had an epic crash out in 2025. If you had a tough 2025 this thread is for you.

Red Moon
Whitetail topic - curious if anyone on here has a good understanding of the red moon from a hunting context. Looking into it, is it just the October and November full moons with conducive overhead and underfoot times to encourage movement? I know there is a moon guide that lays out hunting... -
Spartan Forge
Testing out Spartan Forge. So far I like certain aspects of it but it does seem more geared to the whitetail game which I do partake in so I like the weather, LiDAR, and historical aspects for that part. The layers don’t seem to be as extensive nor customizable as onyx but I have just been...- rogerthat

Finally some good news
The technological assault on hunting marches on but it’s not all bad news. Utah and Arizona are taking some great steps. “AZ Game and Fish Commission voted unanimously to ban the use of crossbows during archery season starting in 2026. The "illegal" use of crossbows is having a major impact... -
Timeout Time
With the recent time out being handed out to our famous green can drinking orange man posting member, I’m just curious if the mods don’t mind laying out the options they wield as options to members for breaking the rules. The timeout is a new one to me. I also know they can effectively boot...- rogerthat

CPW investigating
https://www.koaa.com/news/covering-colorado/man-in-canon-city-area-claims-self-defense-after-killing-a-mountain-lion Seems like the fact the lion was killed with a shovel would make the investigation pretty cut and dried. Should you let it bite you first and than smack it over the head? 😂- rogerthat

Public Service Announcement
Just a quick note, for anyone getting all ramped up for the weekend. In a few of Montana’s select sheep units, it’s often said “any ram is a good ram from these units” This is disinformation and incorrect. If you’re going to put the time and effort in on these hunts, not to mention the 7...- rogerthat

Reloading in hot weather
I know there are some very good reloaders that frequent this site. I am not one of them. Just curious on everyone’s thoughts on reloading and developing loads in hot weather. Is this a waste of time?

Points systems - when is it fraud
Wyoming’s lack of any nr random tags in the moose and sheep draw got me thinking, can a point system become fraud? I understand a system doesn’t guarantee anything but there system continues to sell nr points. Unless your a top point holder, your drawing dead, so what is Wyoming selling? If...- rogerthat

Ok what did I do wrong?
I have a 22-250 weatherby vanguard I decided to put a rail on. I put the rail from the photos on the gun. With two different scopes the only way I can get the gun on zero at 100 yards is by shimming the front mounting surface. What the heck am I doing wrong? Wrong rail? -
300 rum factory 10 twist heavies?
