Spring shooting in Wyoming

[DT7]

Ok I have been itching to tinker with loads for my 300 WM. . . Spring is taking too long to arrive so we just had to do some shooting today. Its kinda tough this time of year but you have to make due right?

Here is a friend of mine touching off a few.

Is anyone else fighting the weather like we are or has spring sprung?

Man that's great! At least here the shooting bench only has about a foot around it and I can now see the bottom of the target boards. Haha.....I like that.

Man when I took my cold bore shot at 2000 yards this morning at 7:30am this is what my Kestrol 4000 told me:
BP:29.71
Alt:331 ft
Temp:68
Hum:93%

I mowed my lawn 4 weeks ago and the Blue-bonnets are about to bloom at the end of the week in TX! I love my brief cold snaps we get periodicly down here but my hats off to you for getting to the range!

You got that right , The summers are what keeps us here.

Rooster, It's good that you can relate, I don't have a working snowmachine so snowshoes for coyotes here too.

We went down south to the "desert" a week ago where it is supposed to be dry to do some coyote hunting. Even there the snow had just started melting. We sunk a truck up to the axles in mud and spent the next two hours listening to coyotes howl all around us while we dug out.

I am envious of all you guys that are basking in the sun.

Come august I will say the same thing about you when its over 100 and 75% humidity down here in Texas!!!

I love the pics!!!!!!! Hardcore shooters.

I hunt that part of the country every fall. Great scenary but getting to be to many people at times in the high country.

Still, if I could get a job and make a living there I would live there in a second.

You are right about the people. Seems We have to ride horses deeper in the wilderness each year to get ahead of the crowds. But it makes it a real hunting experience FAIR CHASE. I may ever get a world class animal but I get nice ones and the hunt makes the trip not the Kill.
