    Wyoming Whitetail

    I drew a whitetail tag in area 59. I was hoping to draw a mule deer tag but did not. How do WY whitetail compare to PA whitetail? At least I can do some long range hunting that is not possible in PA. Can anyone give me any pointers on WY Whitetail?

    Wyoming draw results

    I got a Whitetail tag for area 59. I thought that I was applying for mule deer. Not really all that excited because I can hunt whitetail in PA.

    300WM Load for Max Barrel Life

    Most of the load development threads are focused on the hottest loads. I want to develop a good load that will maximize barrel life. All things being equal, I would believe that mild loads would be easier on a barrel than hot loads, but even this will have a limit. Are some powders cooler...

    Hunt w/ Muzzle Brake?

    How many of you guys hunt w/ a muzzle brake on a 300WM? I don't want to practice w/o one on but would also not want to take it off for hunting if my practice has been with it on.

    Prairie Dog's in CO/WY

    I'll be spending allot of time in northern CO this summer for work. How good is the varmint hunting in the Fort Collins CO or Cheyenne WY area? I would have to hunt on public land. Any info on specific areas would be appreciated.

    308 for Elk?

    Is 308 adequate for elk? Not for long range, but say out to 400 yards. I typically shoot a 178 grain bullet w/ a muzzle velocity of 2500 fps. At 400 yds. I still would have 1368 ft.-lbs. of energy.

    700 Police vs. Sendero vs. Long Range

    I'm with you on that one. I'd rather take 5 lbs. off of me than the gun. Sure the gun carries easier, but beyond that, I'd rather have a heavier gun.

    700 Police vs. Sendero vs. Long Range

    I am thinking about picking up a Remington 700 in 300 WinMag. The Long Range (84164) is the cheapest. What does the Police (27718) or Sendero (27313) offer over the Long Range? The Sendero is stainless, but is there really a benefit to a stainless rifle. Looking to do some long range...

    Need Help in setting up a Hunt

    I am trying to figure out a way to go elk hunting with my son this fall. I will not have the funds to pay for a guided trip. Likewise, I know that hunting on public land will probably not be very successful. I am trying to find a landowner & pay a tresspass fee. However, everyone I contact...

    AI AICS AX Stock for Hunting?

    Thanks for your well though out reply. I have thought thru all the arguments you present. Unfortunately, I won't know the answers to these questions until I take the stock on a hunt. I enjoy shooting as much as hunting and will MANY rounds downrange in preparation for the hunt. With that in...

    Anyone from pa

    I am in Westmoreland county. I have given up on long range deer hunting in PA. I would love to find even long range ground hog opportunities in PA for practice.

    AI AICS AX Stock for Hunting?

    I don't know if I would like the stock or not either. I suppose that there is only one way to find out. I have handled many a gun at a shop only later not to like it after living w/ it out at the range & field. As far as the weight, most 'decent' stocks will weigh 3 lbs. or 4 lbs. My Manners...
