    Consider coming to WY-SHOT 2023!

    I may be tired but I will be there! Plan will come into Rapid City about 8PM from Hawaii, after the 20+ hour flight. So I'll be able to catch up with about 6 hours sleep. I'm thinking the drain I will be feeling is going to help me win this year!

    Congratulations! Definitely on my bucket list. Ernie and I have talked about planning a trip there in the near future. I hope we can make the journey soon with handguns.

    Looking into Interest in a Scope/Action Cover for Hunting

    Stealthy Hunter may be what you're looking for. They are made for protecting the rifle while backpack hunting and it comes with a muzzle cover also.

    Affordable optics that track?

    Check out SWFA, they have been good scopes at reasonable cost. im not a fan of Vortex. ive had to use their warrenty too much. Sightron also has some good scopes.

    Barrel Contour For XP Build

    Thus far, out of all of the XP's I've shot (mostly Ernie's) I've never had one that seemed to light to shoot. Most of the time I allow free recoil and haven't had a problem with accuracy. A good brake is the most important thing. You're not likely to see your impacts anyway with a big 30 cal.

    My Best Wyoming Whitetail

    It was my pleasure to take you out. I always enjoy and cherish our time hunting together. To add to the story: When the buck showed up, I was still getting my gear together. Ernie is getting ready to shoot and I didn't have my binoculars ready yet, but I didn't want to hold him up and lose of...

    Disappointed with the Berger 156 grain EOL

    Last year I shot 1 bull elk at 250 and 2 cows at 350 and 380. All went down really quick. 6.5-06 was running a similar speed. They work great👍!

    Help with pack for moose Kifaru vs Eberlestock or Kuiu?

    There was a great two part review a guy did on YouTube comparing 5 top expedition packs. Exo, Kifaru and Stone Glacier were the top packs. I use a Stone Glacier 6900 Sky Talus and love it. From what I here the kuiu tends to flex a lot with weight. If you can find a place near you that have good...

    Disappointed with the Berger 156 grain EOL

    Exactly, if you find yourself in this situation, aim for bone.

    Disappointed with the Berger 156 grain EOL

    Shot 3 elk with them this year, all one shot kills. 230-360 yards out of a 6.5-06. I've always been leary of bergers for hunting due to some bad experience's but decided to give the 156 a try. No bullets were recovered.

    Skre clothing

    I did get the elk bundle. It is way better than the Walmart stuff I have always used. I'm happy with the purchase. They did have the hoodie on backorder for some time so I didn't have it on my first trip. Later I got the hoodie and with all the layers it is very warm but not bulky. I will...
