On Friday, my brother and I will join one of my college buddies and head towards Michigan. I/we've been looking over maps, talking to biologists, asking some HT members for tips, and e-scouting. We have some ideas, but have a week to wander in search of grouse and woodcock. Our goal is to...
My buddy and I have nearly everything in the truck and found a few minutes this afternoon to burn a little powder to check zeros on the .270s. I think we have enough stuff and will be ready for the looooooong drive from VA. Another friend texted and they set their CO camp up for 1st season...
Any suggestions for can't miss restaurants? I'm also wondering who are the popular processors for fellow HTers?
Weather looks OK lately out that way. Has there been much snow yet?
Anyone ISO ammo for their .284 Win? I've got one box of old school white Winchester Western box with 125 grain Power-Points (17 live rounds and 3 fired casings) and a silver Winchester Super X box loaded with 150 grain P-P loads (17 live and 1 piece of fired brass). $70 + shipping costs via...
I see a big front is poised to have an effect on the third season opener. We leave soon for the 4th season and I was curious what snow cover is already on the ground. Can anyone tell me about conditions near Grand Junction or points South?
And if you have plans for the 3rd season, be ready...
My folks and I plan on leaving in a week and a half to wander around the Great Lakes and enjoy some early Fall weather. Might try to sneak in some fishing for me and Dad, and a boat ride for Mom, but largely looking at doing the touring thing. Possible stops include Milwaukee for a ball game...
Is anyone planning to attend this weekend? I bought a ticket and will stay with friends who live nearby. Gonna be a scorcher so I think we will need to make some time to get on one of the rivers in Nelson County.
I have a 7 mm Mauser that has a Conetrol base on it and a peep sight since I bought it. Their website said prices were going up (July 1) so I placed an order Thursday for rings and some new screws. Right after I called I took the peep sight and base off the rifle and decided I could use an...
I applied tonight and hope my points will result in a tag. Still one more day if you want to apply and a couple more weeks to buy points.
Best of luck to you if you have put in for a tag or two.
I have seen an increase in goose numbers lately in my area. Tonight I thought I heard something flying over the house and opened the window to hear some tundra swans going past. Always nice to hear the migration start no matter which direction it's moving.
My Father is joining a friend who has a Maine bull tag and they leave Sat. Hunt starts on Mon and they will be West of Ashland in the North Maine Woods. Dad will be on his third moose hunt, first time as an observer, and I hope he enjoys it since at 84 he deserves light duty on this one.
Tom...
Can anyone share their experiences with processors in the Wheatland area? We are planning on hunting nearby on a cow tag and it's the closest town. Thanks.
The elk hunt is going to start after we leave Casper, hopefully with several antelope. We have used a couple processors there, but it...
I have three packages of unopened bullets that I just found. Marked as "factory seconds loose tips" and each one is .50 call and 350 grains. I would prefer to sell together at $55 + s&h costs. I am fairly certain they would be cool for Colorado usage.
We had very strong consistent winds yesterday and overnight. The skies were clear on the ride to the farm and the moon was still pretty high. My two friends went to their chosen spots on the far edges of the farm and I walked in to listen at a key spot. Before I got to where I wanted to stop...
Our planned duck/pheasant trip to SD is still a go and I am considering going out through Nebraska and driving into the South end of the Black Hills before our hunt so my Father and I can see some sights. I've been in the Black Hills before and had a blast. What spots would you recommend as...
