Anybody done any loading for the .375 Ruger. I've read that you can't duplicate Hornady's factory speeds with the powders currently available to the public (at least in the 20" Ruger Alaskan). I...

Thanks for the input, guys. The Super Maks look like the ticket. A lot of reviewers seem to have issues with the locks, but overall, there are more pros than cons. First sheep hunt this fall, and...

Need to buy a pair for a steep terrain backpack hunt, but the options are endless. Any advice, thumbs up or down would be appreciated.

Thanks for the clarification Chad. Pretty cut and dried. I was just confused by the instructions in that measuring kit showing D3 across the main mass of the prong. I'll send the manufacturer a...

Interesting horn configuration. As often happens, the strong part (prongs) sometimes robs growth from other areas. It brings up a scoring question that I've had several answers to. When the D3...

Hey Roger, I decided to use my 3 pts. on 74, and will also be a week late. Hope to run into you and MH7wsm if we all draw. Good luck, both of you.

Gotta agree with the Dr. Sure they're accurate, and they've bought they're way into the hands of some TV hunters, but they don't stack up in overall quality. Ever heard of anybody building a gun on...

The grass is always greener Skinz. I hope to live back in WY someday. I'll be scouting 63 for a few days the second week of Oct. Leave me at least one 85 incher to keep me fired up for next year.

OK Codes, what do I win? :D That buck's a bruiser, and as we all know, field judging goats is rocket science. Having worked behind a gun counter most of my life, I've seen hundreds of 13" and 14"...

OK Codes, quit teasing us. I'm taking the "Price Is Right" approach and going with 85 3/8". He's an awesome goat, but I'm going low using the ear length guide. How many Booners are in the man cave...

Skinz,
If it's OK with you, I'd like to check in after the season to see what you thought of 63. I'm looking at for next year. Sent a PM to DrHJH for some input too. Good luck to you and your...

Good luck with the Elk

Cowboy,

I'm a fishing guide up here, but I'm a hunter first. All things considered, you're best to stick with a guide. The logistics of a DIY moose hunt here are huge, especially if you want a...

As an Alaskan fishing guide dealing with several hundred clients per season, I get to see more tipping behavior than most. I agree that 10% is a very fair amount, but lest you think the guides are...

The lifetime license is especially good if you bird hunt. I've moved away, but return to bird hunt every year, and get back the initial cost every few years. The real lure is to be counted as a...

Anybody have a feel for Antelope winterkill in the Southeast? I was hoping to draw this year, but heard the numbers were down in 700 even before this winter. I appreciate any feedback.

Mntnguide, I've also been suffering with a 2800, and eyeing the X2. Do you think a Swarovski 80mm scope would fit the compartment? As you know, in the 2800, (with a tripod) there was barely room...

Alaska posted the 2011 drawing results today. Anybody having trouble sleeping tonight?

I'm hoping to hit 78 with 2 points this year (reg draw) Can't help you with any specifics, because it'll be my first time there. I've Google Earth'd every inch of 78 and 83 and both have a bunch of...

buckfvr echoes the sentiments of many hunters around the country. Unfortunately, the nonresident hunter is seen as a cash cow and state legistatures and outfitters both share the blame for their...

I thought about doing the same thing with a cow decoy (moo cow). Anybody had any success with that angle? I think the Montana cow would be tough to walk with, but I like the concept (less...

Gotta agree with Two Bear. I have the exact same setup and rarely use it for the same reasons. Too expensive for what you end up with, and it also compromises the binoculars (won't fit in my...

Don't know about your species preference, but MT is a good Antelope draw state and there are a lot of block management areas (work out your reservations ASAP after drawing though). CO has a few good...

I agree. I'm trying for one of the Holy Grail units in CO (13 points) this fall, and have overblown expectations. After I draw that hunt, I'll stick to WY, MT and ID, hunt every year or two, hope...

How could the pollster leave out WY, but include ID (that doesn't even have a point system)?? Best 3 species state is WY, for a lot of reasons. Public land, reasonable tag fees, good trophy...
