    "Compensatory Reproduction" in Coyotes, why killing them equals more coyotes and less deer

    “Compensatory Reproduction” in Coyotes, why killing them equals more coyotes and less deer. Pardon me for a moment while I diverge from the topic and follow the wisdom of an old proverb; “Sometimes the only way there, is the long way around”. I did a month-long trip south recently and along...

    Once Again, I Live on the Prairie, Where Buffalo Roamed !

    Once again, I live on the Prairie, where the Buffalo roamed! My first time doing so was north of Cheyenne, Wyoming 40 years ago. To the east in Nebraska the land got flat quick and surrendered to an army of plows. The prairie around Cheyenne, still had enough “Rocks and Rolls” left to beat the...

    Hanging on my wall is a framed collection of WW2 military shoulder patches. Most are gifts from generous GI ‘s. With them are my father’s triple Sgt. Chevrons and five harsh stripes for five years of service in the US Army. During my formative years, I never thought there would be an end...

    Hunting Families That owned only one rifle, Story 1 of 4

    It was a very cold late March in 1981. I was driving my small camper through Wyoming on my way to the Jackson Hole area. As soon as weather got reasonable, I had a job waiting for me there on a carpenter crew building upscale condominiums. It was single digits above zero. I was way too early...

    Hunting Mountain Quail and "Sky Island" Mule Deer in the Mojave Desert

    If you look at a map showing the location of mountain quail in the west and compare it to a map showing the location of Pinyon Pine trees, there will be a modest overlap. Next, looking closer, you will see that there are some isolated “Sky Island Mountain Ranges” that just erupt out of the...

    35 Whelen and The Wild Boar Wars

    The day after I brought my custom Mauser 35 Whelen home from the gunsmith, I drove out to a 3,000 acre grain ranch to sight it in. It was a late summer morning, already getting hot. I could see heat waves through my fixed 2.5X Weaver scope. There were at least a couple hundred Wild boar hitting...

    So which caliber, in what rifle ? The 6.5 Creed, the 6.5x55 Swede, or the .257 Roberts

    Few recently developed cartridges can compete with the field utility of the 6.5 Creed. It is the long-range poster child. Never to be found in a vintage rifle. But so, what? Is available in so many super accurate and inexpensive modern rifles. It is omnipresent. Now, what cartridge could equal...

    Bear gun Versus Bear Spray

    Bear Guns versus Bear Spray My father was drafted into the U.S. Army late in 1942 when he was in his early 30’s and almost ten years older than the vast majority of GI’s. When asked to name his occupation, he wrote down “gambler”. After he took his basic military aptitude test, he scored...

    Remington Model 722 in .257 Roberts

    I will forever have a place of gratitude for a Remington Model 722 in .257 Roberts. I came from the east to the west, fifty-five years ago, with a full-sized Browning Belgium Mauser 30-06 and a Marlin 336-T, “T” for the straight grip Texan model in 35 Remington. Neither fit my new needs when...

    Round Nosed Bullets, in an era of high BC addiction, anybody else use them

    I cannot think of any rifle i have ever hunted with, that I did not also reload and hunt with round nosed bullets. Yes, I had loads for pointed bullets with high BC's but always I used Round Nosed Bullets too. From the 117 grain Hornady RN for my 257 Roberts, through the 250 grain RN for my 35...
