I have been to the Georgetown look out spot along I-70 at least 3 times and have never seen a sheep there. I know there is a big herd there, but maybe my luck just stinks. Different times of the year...

This topic just frustrates the heck out of me. In my opinion, there is no point in having 'public land' if there is no 'right of way' to access it.
I understand laws are laws, but this makes it...
Wondering if anybody knows how to remove an epoxy from a parkerized metal finish?
Removed a Lyman 48 sight from a 1903 springfield last night and it appears to have an epoxy based 'pad'...
Anybody know if these are still being sold? Custom Savage 93R17 made exclusively for Cabelas.

I am wondering who made the scope rail. Anybody know?
Been thinking of getting a standard...
Who has one and what do you think of it? How do you like the stock with the Karstens cheekpiece?
My opinion is that it looks cumbersome/bulky, but probably works very well. Agree, Yes/No?

I am researching 2nd choice units for the upcoming Wyoming antelope draw. I am looking at units 43 and 46, but understand most of these units is private land or patchwork layout.
Both units have 2...
I am possibly in the market for a new pack for western hunting. Coming from the midwest, we generally carry standard style back packs or day packs with just basic hunting tools, not full frame packs...
I have been told there are populations of bighorn sheep and mountain goats on Mt Evans west of Denver. I will be traveling to the area the 3rd week of June, and was hoping to maybe see some sheep...
I come from the competitive highpower shooting realm, and a scope position similar to this is pretty common in the long range prone game. Stock is a Greybull with length of pull of about 13.5, so...
I am not married to the one piece base, it just allows forward scope placement for prone shooting.
I am not married to 20MOA either, it just made it possible for paper punching at 1000 yards.

I am working on Remington 700 for the upcoming 2013 hunting season. Currently have a 40mm Leupold scope mounted on an EGW 20MOA base with low Warne quick detachable rings.
The issue is the scope...
That would be 2013 leftovers available sometime in July?
What about what units had leftovers in 2012?
Is this information published somewhere?
I realize predicting the future is a fantasy, but it might be nice to know which units could be that 'fall back option'.
There has been a lot of discussion lately about the severe drought making a big impact on antelope mortality and potentially reducing antelope quotas.
I haven't been able to find the 2013 antelope...
Anybody hunted unit 90 before? I am wondering what the hunt is like overall. Whats the population like? Any trouble finding goats? I notice a lot of land, lots of access and very few tags available....
I have 1 PP. Definately going to apply for a tag this fall. Debating about what unit to apply for. Don't need a trophy buck, but wouldn't mind one either. Would really like good public access, and a...
This is great information folks, exactly the discussion I was hoping to get started.
State are usually hwys and interstates.
So county roads are numbers with boxes.
BLM are usually marked with a...
I will hopefully be a first time western hunter in 2013. I have 1 PP for antelope and will be trying to harvest a decent buck. I have recently purchased both a Delorme Gazetteer and a HuntingGPSMaps...
I do realize that the units I listed are marked as difficult public access.
Does anybody have good recomendations for 2nd and 3rd choice units with GOOD public access and bucks of any size?
Not...
I just want to verify that I understand the Wyoming draw process correctly.
I will have a party of 4, all with 1PP, for an average of 1PP each.
We will pick our first choice, and our 1PP...
I am a midwesterner badly bitten by the wild sheep bug. I am also well aware that with the amount of hunting interest in wild sheep, I may never actually be able to hunt them in the lower 48.
That...
Briefly discussed this in another thread. Decided to start a new thread in order to avoid taking over the other persons discussion.
Contemplating a custom rifle build on a post 64 Winchester model...
Here are a couple pictures of my Winchester 70 post 64 short action I would like to use.
You can see that with the bolt in the full rearward position the opening is just over 2.96".
Also, the...
Great discussion! I have also been considering a 284 Winchester hunting rig.
I have a Winchester 70 action I want to use. Sort of a 'mid length' action with the plug in the back of the mag well.

New to the Eastmans forum. I apoligize if this topic has been discussed previously.
Posting in the General Hunting room to get the most exposure to the topic.
Just started aquiring western...
