“I don’t want you hunting this outfit.”
I get the rugged individualism and all but I am continually surprised that western states law enforcement and/or the fed govt do seem so much weaker on some issues there than they do east of the Mississippi. Wide open spaces must dilute the ability to project power, and some lone individuals...- Bullshot

“I don’t want you hunting this outfit.”
Once again like whack-a-mole with the flagrant abuses of our public lands. I think, as a group, we need advocacy organizations (so support one or more) to take up these fights one by one. Leaving cattle on grazing leases after deadlines are up should be a pretty open and shut civil case, easy to...- Bullshot

Please do not plan to bugle at all on public in Colorado. Not needed, actually often counter productive. -

It wasn't attempted theft. It was theft. That makes him a thief.- Bullshot

“I don’t want you hunting this outfit.”
This particular, but I doubt all too rare, ADJACENT landowner entitlement is out of control. He knew full well he was committing premeditated theft and harassment and DID NOT CARE. This is no grey area, no debate, no complicated technical argument, no competing versions of truth. No LE or court...- Bullshot

Yellowstone wolf incident
Exactly. Regardless of what the guy was doing, even before the video started, those wolves could have run as fast and far away as they wanted, but they grouped up and ran at him, exactly as they would in any probing/predatory attack. When he got in a vulnerable dip they picked up speed, and...- Bullshot

The thumb of one mitten was "torn off", (page 10) and...- Bullshot

Yellowstone wolf incident
I posted an interesting video of a pack of wolves decisively loping after a man into a ravine at close range and used a common turn of phrase, and instead of comment on the video you comment on that? Next time a pack runs after you, I'll trust you are debating semantics of whether in an animal...- Bullshot

Yellowstone wolf incident
This article talks about a man being cited for spraying wolves (looks like pepper spray) but the video raised a whole lotta other questions about wolves intent, lack of fear, etc. His actions are stupid but I'm wondering if the pepper(?) spray may have saved him from being torn to shreds...- Bullshot

What is acceptable accuracy in your opinion
1 MOE (Margin of Error) seems to work. It varies on the weapon, weather, wind, light, angle, etc. More about knowing your limits than knowing your MOA. How else would you explain so many misses on game by otherwise excellent shots... Seems a lot of people shoot much farther than their MOE.- Bullshot

Remington 700 Classic in 300 WBY FS
This is a great DEAL for someone. These are nice rifles. Rem took a little extra care in building them as they were intended to be good shooters as well as collectible even at the time. Elk killer in 300 Wby! I have two classics. Love the stocks.- Bullshot

How to White tail
If I had access to decent new ground for whitetail, I would 100% be confident I could go out in late morning, search around, and find a good spot to sit or place a stand by early afternoon, several hours before the magic happens. You should be fine. Unlike more open country hunting for elk or... -
What would you recommend?
Barnett makes some affordable solid xbows. A mechanical like a Rage hypodermic (i like the +p version for more sure penetration) will handle deer with authority. There are definitely fewer things you need to buy for crossbow hunting than normal archery. Still, bolts, broadheads, xbow case, rail... -
What you learn if you spend enough time hunting wild game
You learn what every predator innately knows - that when you really see and sense your quarry as food, you are truly hunting. Hunt (or fish) when actually hungry and reliant on what you kill or catch, even for 1 meal, and see what I mean.You will focus differently, work harder, try new tactics...- Bullshot

Idaho Hunter Dies Packing Out Elk
Worth thinking about and sad for their familes. Who hasn't joked that a packout might be their last.

Many people will have same...- Bullshot

58 Caliber Roundball Loads
I did kill a buck a couple years back with around a 70 grain 2F charge but it really did not react significantly to my 1st hit and it was an unpleasant ensuing rodeo to track it and followup. I'll be experimenting with my 58 hunting load this month which I raised to 90g and may raise up to...- Bullshot

The official 2025 Wyoming elk hunt for Dave N thread.
This elk hunt seems like it went off great. Great scenery, adventures, good food, good company, miles driven, miles hiked, elk, moose, and deer about. Everyone made it out. If killing an elk was the only measure of the hunt, it would'nt make sense for many of us, and probably most non...
