    Tha Dude struck early

    Today is the first day of the two day juvenile deer season in TN. 3 minutes after legal shooting light the first deer stepped out at about 175. Then two more. Picked out the biggest one as they slowly fed towards us. She finally cleared the other two in the narrow powerline that we were on. He...

    Dave Page Cobbler

    Probably about to send in a pair of Cabelas Meindl Perfekt boots for him to resole. Seems like he is well regarded around here. Has anyone tried his insoles? Offers German insoles and super feet trailblazer insoles. Are they good? Anyone tried both that can speak to the differences?

    ETH and ETH Jr’s western misadventures -OR- ETH and ETH Jr’s pronghorn manventure

    Put in for a few WY tags back in the spring. Was surprised to draw not only a Unit XX pronghorn tag, but also a Region X deer tag and an X-6 tag for whitetail deer, the latter of which was my screwup because I didn’t realize that it was only good on private land. I had no points for the deer...

    Powder Valley Fire

    Just read on another forum that PV had a pretty substantial fire this weekend. Thankfully from what I’ve read no one was hurt, but if true it will definitely effect any orders through there, and may effect the supply across other vendors to a small extent. Plan accordingly

    Flying with hunting gear

    I know that this has been discussed before, and specifically remember wllm doing a pretty detailed write up on this, but I can’t seem to find it in the search function. Who flies with guns and gear? I’m a little bit less concerned with the gun part right now than the backpack, knives, ammo, and...

    They blend in so well

    These guys blend in so well. This is the second one we saw and it shot right between my son’s feet. It came from the edge of the trail in those low weeds. The aspiring herpetologist was a bit "shook"

    WY ‘26 Elk Tag Strategy

    First and foremost, I’m not asking for region or unit numbers. If you want to send me info that may be sensitive to burning spots or areas then I’ll take it by PM, but I’m really just trying to get my proverbial ducks in a row for next season’s application period. I’ll have 6 points going into...

    Second Choice Draws

    I can’t seem to wrap my brain around Wyoming (and other western states’) second and third choice draws. I live in a state that if you draw a tag then your points are gone, so don’t put in for second choice tags unless you have no points (and most of our draws aren’t worth the travel and effort)...

    Sierra MKX

    Kind of an interesting concept with all of the hype about using match bullets for hunting. Matchkings are known to be accurate and usually easy to develop loads for, but their BCs are often lacking (or maybe just “honest”). Now if they would just make the .308 168 MKx to match the regular MK...

    @Outlaw99 is a solid guy. Bought some stuff from him and he went above and beyond to make sure that it got to me in good shape. Deal with confidence on future transactions

    Mowing season

    Curious who on here has already mowed their lawn? I just got done with my second mowing of the season and everything outdoors is yellow from the pollen, including the air.

    Could Washington Wildlife Commission conflicts be the new normal for other states in the future?

    First off, I don’t know how accurate this article is, but I’d really appreciate some input from some Washingtonians about what is really going on. But secondly, game and fish departments are becoming more politicized and/or targeted across the nation, both from within and outside. I think...

    Deer season so far

    Appreciated my short time in WY earlier in October. Got to meet @manitou1 who is a great guy, and he provided me some scouting tips that helped me to learn. I really feel like I was starting to get the hang of a few things, but my 9yo son was getting worn out so we shifted gears after 3 days of...

    A few Luepold scopes for sale

    Trying to find funds to buy the Zeiss that @MTLabrador has listed 😃 and to rearrange my glass on a couple of rifles. VX5HD 3-15x44 with windplex reticle. It’s been out west a few times and has some love marks, but glass is clean and clear and tracks well. I have both the original dial and one...

    Covid sucked

    But it brought us some classics like this Got any good funny videos from the infancy of video calls and telework?

    Dsnow9 would be proud

    Took my daughter out to shoot steel the other day and needed to repaint the orange gong. As a girl dad I have no shortage of pink paint, so that’s what it became. If a 14 year old girl wants to ring pink steel at 400yd then I won’t argue

    Anyone near Gillette that minds sharing some intel on the fires?

    I drew a deer tag and am looking at 3-4 areas between Buffalo and north of Gillette that I’m wondering how the fires have affected. Anyone mind talking by PM or a quick phone call for me to ask about some specific areas so that I can figure out if the fires went through there? I’m 6 weeks out...

    Rem 9-1/2s in stock

    I’m looking for CCI 200s, but it’s good to see some LRPs coming available . I picked up some Fed GMM 215Ms last week even though I don’t normally use them https://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item/0005022608/9-half-large-rifle-primer-(1000-count)

    How’s the rain been in North Central WY… and how does that effect mule deer?

    Was happy to draw a mule deer tag for this area and plan to be there second week of October. I know that a lot can change between now and then, but how has the rain been in that area, and how does that generally affect the deer in that area? I went out there last year and found a bunch of does...
