A relative passed away and left me stacks and stacks of all kinds of firearms. My gun safe was already full and I had no use for about 90% of the guns he had collected. Cabelas told me right up front that they would only give me 50% of the book value. I unloaded several guns just to make...

Flintknapper, I had an interesting encounter with a sounder this evening and I would like your take on it. I was driving out of our hunting property at sunset when I spotted a medium sized sow with a several smaller hogs feeding in a fire lane. The surrounding area is an overgrown former sugar...

Buy now. As was mentioned, there is a very strong possibility that we are about to have the 1st female POTUS. Not only is she rabidly anti-gun but her appointments to the Supreme Court will move it away from individual rights. I am an old man so I already have a lifetime supply of ammo. I...

Good luck. I am really enjoying my new Model 70 Featherweight in 264 Win Mag. The new trigger is the best I've seen on an M70 and it is sub-MOA right out of the box. I have also seen that they are selling as fast as they can make them. It will be interesting to see if they come out with more...

Another Winchester fan I'm not sure why but I have been a fan of all things Winchester since the 60's. Jack O'Conner didn't help and it seemed that every old timer I knew carried some form of pre-64 Winchester rifle or shotgun. My M70 270 featherweight has over 100 deer to its credit and the...

Meat processors? If everything goes according to plan, I would like to take a pronghorn to a meat processor to be vacuum-packed and frozen and then carried home on dry ice. I see several meat processors listed in Gillette. Has anyone a favorite to recommend?

Thank you You guys are killing me. I'm trying to keep cool about this but I'm getting pretty pumped. Pronghorn hunting, BBHC, and Yellowstone. This is pretty close to an ideal vacation for me. I have a feeling that the two week vacation will fly by.

Yellowstone I was wondering if it would be a problem to enter Yellowstone with a couple of unloaded, cased rifles?

In October I will be going after pronghorn near Wright, Wyoming. I have never been in Wyoming at all so I'm hoping that someone here can recommend a good place to stay for a few days that won't break the bank. I would like to get a nice buck on ice and possibly do some sight-seeing with the...

Thank you gents for the replies. I have been looking at some areas in the SE and east central parts of the state that look interesting so I hope to hunt some walk-in areas. I have also been wondering how the herds fared over the winter? I have read that the drought has affected numbers in some...

That is encouraging. I will be looking for that list when it comes out. I'm not a trophy hunter and am looking forward to visiting a beautiful state almost as much as the opportunity to go hunting.

Never having hunted Wyoming before, I missed the deadline to apply for the antelope drawing. If I understand the process correctly, I will now have to wait until July to see what limited licenses might be left over. According to the WG&F website, the choices will be very limited to nil. Does...

I have had the exact same thing happen with a buck repeatedly in the hog trap. I suspect that deer are not as smart as we give them credit for being. Very wary- yes, but smart-no.

I've had numerous NRA stickers & license plates on my vehicles since 1965 with no problem. If that is a problem where you live you may want to move.

Our hunting lease in SW Mississippi was densely infested with the critters for years and then they just disappeared. Don't know why but the population is returning after a few years. My un-scientific theory was that Mother Nature sent something through the herd to thin them out.:confused:

Deer repellent? Flint: IIRC, you have made remarks about how the presence of hogs has been detrimental to your deer hunting. I am hunting in an area with dense 2nd growth which provides ideal cover for hogs and deer. I use feeders and food plots to draw the deer out of cover but I am...

Flint- In your experience, can hogs see hunter orange? I usually hunt an area where it isn't needed but was wondering about some other places I may be hunting. Thanks.

I prefer a stainless steel of 3 1/2 - 4" fixed blade with a drop point. Gut hooks are an abomination that do not work well. Handle material is largely a matter of taste except that they should give a good grip when wet with blood and not be checkered because that makes them difficult to clean...

I dearly love to hunt and I dearly love to make a clean kill. No, it isn't all about the kill but that is the major part of it for me. When I am about to make a shot, I can hear my heart beating and my pulse races. The blood rushes through my brain and I can hear it when the adrenaline spikes...
