    Kill your dog and your political career at the same time

    It is inconceivable in my mind. I saw a guy take a young bird dog out ONCE. It wouldn't hunt and he pulled a pistol out and shot it. In all honestly, I would have put more value on the pup's life than his. It's like killing your kid because they don't hunt. Give the thing away as a pet for...

    Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed, 7 PRC Field Evaluation

    I have had five X-bolts and five browning shotguns that have been hunted hard... some in rain, sleet, snow. Lots of sand and dust with my X-bolts here in WY. Never had a trigger issue... ever. First I have heard of it.

    Gillette WY to start building nuclear power plants

    I'll just put this here: Fukushima, Three Mile Island, and Chernobyl familiar to anybody? They plan to use the reactors to power coal/methane facilities around the state.

    One of the 10 new Colorado wolves is dead.

    They'll spend half a million bucks trying to figure out cause of death when they could have applied it to herd or habitat improvement for native species that create income for the state.

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    They ought to be accurate.. they take twenty minutes to set up and take the shot, lol. My wife and a buddy's mom are deadly but about give me a heart attack waiting for her to shoot.😁

    Masculinity and Caliber Choice

    Personal choice. Accuracy trumps fpe and fps as long as they do the job. Millions of deer have been killed with the .243 and 30-30... even a lot of elk. Your ability/range limitations are more a determining factor IMO. Forty years ago the 7mm Rem mage was considered too much for deer and the...

    .280 AI Powders

    I have used Re23, 7828 and 4831 SSC. Good accuracy with all three with 168 VLDs. The 4831 was anemic. The 7828 and Re 23 shootalmost identical velocities and accuracy. I chose the Re 23 due to temp stability as I hunt large temp swings. 2950 fps with Re 23 and Berger 168 VLDs... or 7828. I...

    Berger bullet jump

    With my custom 280ai and 168 Bergers, fifty thousandths and and five thousandths were nearly identical. Everything in between was less desireable. I chose the five as it allows for throat erosion for a longer period without having to adjust load or having barrel work.

    Wyoming Random Draw Is No More?

    Guess what? Those of us that live here actually pay the taxes, eat at restaurants, buy our land and homes and spend almost all our $$$ here. Your tag fee pales in comparison. Not even a drop in the bucket. Property taxes have tripled in three years for us.
