Plate ‘em up
Buttermilk soaked elk steaks fried with gravy, mashed potatoes, and peas. Perfect meal on a frosty winter night. Should have made some biscuits to go with them.- Foxtrot1

Just got home from a late season trip. We were pretty lucky to find a group of bulls the first day and finally make a move on them on day 2. -

The official 2025 Wyoming elk hunt for Dave N thread.
I know you guys have worked your a**es off. It's been a lot of pressure with the build up to this trip and all the observers. I hope you all are having a great time. This trip has restored a lot of faith in the hunting community when a lot of us need it. Good luck! -

Bear Rug
Its fairly flexible. No hard form inside. The head, ears, and shoulders are stuffed with soft material to fill them out before being sewn to felt backing- Foxtrot1

Bear Rug
Just got our bear rugs back. We went with soft rugs and skulls. Overall, I think they turned out well for an affordable option (ball park $500ish). Just need to shoot some bigger bears next time. Haha- Foxtrot1

Why & what do you handload?
I started reloading when I got my 9.3x62. To some extent for cost savings, but also for versatility of loads from light target loads to full power hunting rounds. I was so impressed with results, I have expanded to all my big rifles: 30-06, 7x57, 9.3x57, and 9.3x62. I really don't fool with 223s...- Foxtrot1

The classic magnums - will they see a renaissance?
This country went to heck about the same time everyone stopped using 30-06s and it's derivatives. Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not. Not taking a chance. Haha -

Dept of Interior handed over to DOGE
A close friend sent this to me. Haven't had time to fully research. Guy is a complete unknown, so I have no idea how this is going to affect public lands. But it should be on the radar.
