    Mule deer caliber

    2506 I use 117 sst and 115 nosler partitions and both work great. I feel that the partition is the better better all round bullet but the sst is better for longer range. 2506 is an awesome caliber

    Loss of Love for Leupold, New scope time.

    Canvas tent- help me out.

    Kill the wolf?

    In Alberta wolves have been open season for years and we still have too many. Some Counties pay a bounty for shooting them. We feel bad that they borrowed our problem and started it in Idaho and Montana We just wish they would open a Grizzly season so we wouldn't have so many out here on the...
