    Cicadas

    Experienced a bunch of emergences from different broods. Amazing though sometimes irritating experience. Lasts a few weeks. For all you subsistence types, if you really want to immerse yourself in it, go ahead and hunt some newly emerged and moulted cicadas, rip off their wings and throw in an...

    Tough year…new normal!

    Most of us do! I continue to bite the bullet in several states, as long as I am getting points and I believe I actually may draw in the long haul. I bailed on NV, its a state I guess I will never hunt. Same with ND. I don’t apply to OR or WA or CA ever, or MT or ID most years. If I ever draw...

    Hope today gets better

    I’m good actually. NM kicks me hard each and every year. Totally numb, can’t feel a thing.

    Hope today gets better

    Yeah and yesterday I went walleye fishing, lost the only fish I hooked, lost my lure on a snag and as I was walking back to the truck, I stepped on a little whip of a sapling that sprung up and snapped me right in the nuts. And I didn’t draw NM tag today either.

    Pick a state to become a resident ...

    Honestly by the time I’ll be able to move or retire, I fear my hunting will be in its waning days. So WY is probably off the list, 365 living is not for the faint of heart. I’m “only” 48 YO, but kinda feel already that I wasted my life. I was sooooo close… living out of my truck all over the...

    Pondering factory loads vs starting loads

    Yes, Right. 45/70 suffers from factory loads we all know. And reloaders pushing it in more modern guns is understood as typical. But 8mm mauser is also one of the reasons I started wondering, I know the history of the varying bore dimensions, and millions of old rifles, and thus why they do it...

    I'd go back

    I can’t say much about times prior to 1975 (was born) but I feel I can say that dishes wrapped in newspapers from after about 1999 probably won’t be the source of much wistful nostalgia in the coming decades.

    This has me puzzled

    I am fairly new to reloading. First, I am not pushing the envelope on seating bullets out so havn’t had that issue. Do as others have suggested to determine if seating depth with your bullet is the problem. The only problems I HAVE had with chambering have been related to seating with the crimp...

    Pondering factory loads vs starting loads

    I don’t know why this is sticking in my head today, but reloading wisdom says to start pretty low and work up slowly, that every rifle behaves differently, can’t be too safe, etc. Yet anybody with any rifle has no qualms about loading any factory round from any manufacturer literally having no...

    2024 Colorado Draw Results Thread

    I know I will never bag animals as good as many of you have, for me, the trophy has become the tag. I grew up in the 80’s on Outdoor Life adventure stories when everything had a “softer” aura to it and before, it seems, everything got so technical. Pictures of dudes in surplus woodland fatigues...

    I need a turkey gun

    I didnt read most of the replies, just jumped in to say a lightweight gun, suitable for care-free travel, packs compactly, reliable for a lifetime, and cheap would be a Rem 870 in 20 gauge. Should be super easy to find one for sale mostly anywhere. Certainly its not the hottest new thing, but...
