    2022 Sheep Hunts

    Don't give up! I've drawn both of Arizona's Sheep tags, Desert and Rocky as well as a NR Colorado tag in the San Juan's above Pagosa. All are on the wall along with an Alaskan Dall's. Not everything works out. I've hunted Stone's twice near Toad river BC for 28 days total and never saw a legal...

    Best 7mm rem mag brass

    I like RWS brass in my 375 H&H. Its German best quality and for me lasts just about forever. Huntington's has 7mm Rem mag brass last time I looked. Be prepared for sticker shock, but it's worth it. JM

    Brown bear Rifle

    Bob Hagel said many moons ago that, " You can kill any animal with almost any cartridge under the best conditions, what really is needed is a cartridge and bullet that will do it under the worst conditions. JM

    What'll you be carrying for spring bear?

    I love my Mark V 270 Weatherby mag. Loaded with Win 140 gr Fail Safe bullets @ 3300 fps, it's my go to gun for deer, antelope and sheep. I have no qualms about using it for bear (black variety of even a griz if necessary). My main squeeze for griz or brownie is my Mark V 340 Weatherby mag...

    Weatherby Mark V 270W.M.

    I use 79gr Reloder 25, Fed 215GM primers, Weatherby brass behind 140 gr Win Failsafe bullets for 3300 fps. Win no longer manufactures the Failsafe FYI. Start 10% lower and work up. I have a 1:10, 26 inch Douglas Premium match grade pipe, Mark V action in a McMillan stock. Have fun!!! JM

    Why hunt sheep?

    I've been on 6 wild sheep hunts with four on the wall, Desert, Dall's, (2) Rocky Mtn. and a blank spot from two unsuccessful Stone's hunts. Love the country that they live in, and am amazed that they can earn a living in their ranges. The disease is called "Ovis Pyrexia" Sheep Fever. Once...

    Winchester brass

    If you can find RWS (German) cases, ammo get it. Huntington's sells brass but cartridge choices are limited. It's very pricey but primer pockets last almost forever. JM
