    Load development for my 7mm STW

    Well, I have been trying to get the loads developed for my 7mm STW. This particular rifle is the pickiest rifle I have ever tried to load for. I was trying to find a load for 150 gr Nosler Partitons. I used Nosler Ballistic tips to work up loads. Then ran out and bought some Sierra boat tails...

    Deaf Genie

    A man walks into a bar with a paper bag. He sits down and places the bag on the counter. The barman walks up and asks what's in the bag. The man reaches into the bag and pulls out a little man, about one foot high and sets him on the counter. He reaches back into the bag and pulls out a...

    Patterned my LH 1187

    First off, let me tell you this proves how bad I suck at shooting a shotgun. It's kind of embarrassing.. Been playing with the same shotgun from the discussion in the other thread. Decided to try some different Turkey Loads in it and see what the patterns looked like. It would have been...

    Powder Problems ?

    Man, I've been fighting my .338 Imperial Magnum since I got home. I've had nothing but problems with the loads. When I was home in June of last year on my last R&R, I test fired it with 200 gr Nosler Accubonds and found that my rifle would not handle the mazimum poad for IMR7828 with those...

    Should'a stuck him!

    Thought I would share a true bear story concerning a bear and myself. This was a couple of weeks ago on opening day of my elk hunt. My son and I had found a perfect place to put together a makeshift blind next to a dirt tank. Many people would call it a pond, but in this part of the world, it's...

The person who won it at the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation banquet is the wife of one of my best friends. For those of you not familiar with this tag, it allows the person with the tag...

    Like a rocket!

    The turkey hunting got tough towards the later part of our NM season. One of my best friends was here from California to hunt with me for a couple of days and we were having no luck at all. The gobblers just wouldn't come in. Hard to explain their actions but really strange. Finally on the...

    New Mex. Merriams and picture

    I have a lot to be thankful this morning. Had a great hunt (short, but great). The season started here in New Mexico three days ago, but couldn't get out and try to call in a gobbler 'till this morning. I parked the truck and started walking down the ridge. It was just about time for the...

    Tex. Rio Grande story and picture

    This was my second attempt to add a Rio Grande gobbler to my collection. My first attempt was last year with a bow on the "Hunt Talk Group Hunt", with Moosie and Tom, and MITCH. (a whole different story). I couldn't wait to get after them again! With a shotgun this time. I was able to get on a...

    Bears (2) GilaMonster (0)

    I just got back from hunting with Tom in the Gila Wilderness. We hunted horseback with my two sons. Tom hunted Muleys while I was hoping to take a big bear. I won't go into Tom's details of the hunt as he will be wanting to tell his side of the hunt when he returns from hunting for a few days...

    Because of the increasing number of bears and increasing number of bear attacks in New Mexico, the season opens up on Aug 1 this year. It's getting close! Tom will be joining me from Texas for the first of the hunting season. The weather has been great for bears and I hope to see something for...

    I drew a NM 16A Elk Tag

    After not drawing an Elk tag for nine years in my favorite elk unit (16A), I finally got smart and applied for a bow tag. I got it for the first bull hunt. I'm just a little fired up to say the least!
