Gold!

I actually prefer the angled when on a window mount because I just rotate the scope so I can look more forward and have it pointed out the window.

My father just got a Savage Ultralight in 300 WSM and I helped him put some initial rounds through it two weeks ago. He hasn’t done any load development yet but the first load was probably .75ish without trying too hard. While the action isn’t smooth, overall it’s a really nice gun that I think...

I haven’t spent any time up there in a couple years, but one thing worth noting is a lot of country north of Hot Sulphur burned in the East Troublesome fire last fall.

Hmm it is really weird that it is making you do that. When I put one in my cart it gives the me the option to log in as an FFL or continue with my normal checkout process. Maybe give them a call?

I’m a really big fan of my stag upper (fellow lefty) and I just pulled up their website and looked at a random bolt carrier group and it is not FFL required. Which one are you looking at that is?

I spend a lot of time in that area and had a lot more interactions with grizzlies than black bears in those parts. You certainly can find a good black bear but you would want to be really really confident in your ID before pulling the trigger. Also the huckleberry crop up there is awful this...

I had a buddy fall in love with the idea of this set up for his new pronghorn gun… and then he realized it isn’t legal to use for hunting in his state. I’m just hoping no new states ban scopes like this for hunting so I can keep hunting with my Eliminator.

I drove from Salt Lake to Denver today so the closest I came was Rock Springs and there was no noticeable smoke there. In fact, there was no noticeable smoke from Salt lake almost all the way to Laramie! Denver on the other hand… Also, it was super smoky in that region recently and all it will...

The picture of the unbranched spike was from November of 2019 and the one with the fork was from January 2021 about two miles away from where I saw the first one. I figured it was the same bull a year later and he just didn’t developed much. Then a week later when I saw another bull without the...

I’ve got a high country in 300 wm that I am really happy with. It is a sub-MOA shooter, even with me behind it! That being said I think you can find similar accuracy from Tikkas and Brownings (at least in my experience) and I haven’t spent much time around Bergaras.

I’m pretty sure baiting wolves is illegal in every state except maybe most of Wyoming (they can be incidentally taken on bear baits in Idaho). However Wyoming is really clear that you can’t use any game birds, game fish, or game animals for bait. I think the comment above me is really...

I will always cherish my childhood hog hunts with the family. Irreplaceable memories for sure!

I talked with a wolf researcher in YNP who found some griz tracks a few days ago. They didn’t know of any other sightings yet but it is beginning!

That thing is a beast! There haven’t been too many 8-pointers that were bigger than that one.
