Thanks Les. Not sure if it includes Green River Lakes or is north of it. I'll PM when I find out. The woman I spoke to said ATV are allowed on lots of trails. I usually park and go in on foot a few miles. G&F were very helpful and gave me a number to the game warden to get some info on the area.

This is the first time in 25 years I didn't draw either a general elk tag or leftover cow tag. I've always hunted unit 85 or 84 and a couple nearby ones around Jackson. Everything is sold out but there are cow tags for unit 95. Have any of you ever hunted there. Its north of Pinedale and S/W of Dubo...

Saw this while browsing. California legal too.

Not a rifle, no bayonet lug, pistol grip etc...A little pricey but looks fun.

When I got married I told my wife I wanted to get married on a holiday so I would never forget our anniversary. I wanted Valentine's day. ( 2 birds with one stone)

. She picked Flag Day. Todays our 25th.

I have an 1895 with an 18" barrel. It has a limbsaver recoil pad. Even with a prior shoulder replacement, it feels fine. Mine shoots great groups with those flex tips. Enjoy your new rifle!

I recently bought a 9422. Great .22 rifle. I use the CB rounds in my backyard and it's quieter than a pellet gun.

jkbrea

I like it. That .308 would make a good elk rifle in the woods with the 20" barrel.

jkbrea

I've got bolt actions, levers and ARs but my favorite go to gun when traveling or home defense is my Winchester Trapper in .357. Great handling and a blast to shoot. A slicked up Rossi would also be great and easier to acquire. Good luck and welcome.

jkbrea

Thank you all for the kind comments. I wish I could set up in my back yard. These coyotes are nasty looking. Like zombie dogs. Sores and hair missing. They're not too afraid either. A woman I know was walking her dog and two attacked it while on the leash! Problem is I live in a housing tract but my...

Last October I went on a elk hunt in Wy as I've done for 24 years. It was a great hunt...4 elk down between 5 hunters. The day I was to return to Ca my wife called and couldn't find my dog, a 3 yr old Mini Australian, and my best friend. She heard coyotes the night prior. I drove back without stoppi...

I read where the military, prior to semi-auto weapons, never really bought off on leveractions because of the difficulty of operating it while prone and keeping low. I don't know if that's true or not but that toggle switch would have/could have eliminated that issue, but it seems there were other c...

I've finally gotten over my yearning for a Freedom Arms, for now :cry: . I really like the looks of the 7" Schofield by Uberti but know nothing much about them, other than they're really pricey. Do any of you have one and how do you like it? Thinking of selling a S&W .44 to fund it. Either ...

Someone here once posted something this guy built. Kinda cool. If he used aluminum bottles he could get a lot more fps from it. He sure is inventive.

I like it. Kimber makes some good products but they are pricey. Wonder what this will go for?

jkbrea

Sadly, I think leaving a firearm in plain sight, such as when in an exposed rack will likely attract way too much attention. My last truck had a compartment under the rear seat. Although it was plastic and provided no security at all, it did keep things away from prying eyes. Using a cable lock and...

jkbrea

Well, who knew? While doing a search I found out I have a built in gun rack!

I had a gun stolen out of my truck before so I'm a little wary about leaving it unsecured. I'm thinking an adjustable mount like in a police car with a hidden release switch. At least a thief would have to work at it. I've seen way to many smash and grabs.

jkbrea

I normally carry concealed but have been traveling a lot lately in my truck. I want to carry a rifle along but not sure how to secure it. For those that keep a rifle in your truck how do you secure it? I'm thinking about behind the back seat of my truck. Lots of room. Its a Dodge Ram mega cab.

I've taken 3 elk with the leverevolution in 45-70. They are very accurate in my rifle. The ranges were 50- 125 yards but they worked fine. I recovered one. It held together pretty well. In my 30-30 the accuracy was just ok.

jkbrea

I just picked up a Winchester 9422! I bid on this rifle on and lost by about $250. :( These things are overpriced but hard to find unless you fork over close to a grand. Well, it went back up because the buyer and seller got into an argument over what "new" meant. It was adverised "li...

Here's a link to a CO2 powered Colt style SAA that shoots BBs. It only hold 6 round that you load into the back of a fake .357 size round. Size, weight and operation is very similar to an actual SAA. They are fun and run about $100. Mine shoots about 1-2" at around 25'. http://gunsoftheoldwest....

jkbrea

From the link.... Going to check the targets would be a workout. :shock: Description and identifications hand-written on back of photoprint: "This was a main building north of town. To get to it, onewent north on the main road, crossed the river and fields until almost to the opposite cliffs. T...

Congrats Les! Are you in the Jackson area again?

jkbrea

I looked on Gunbroker. The cheapest start at $1999 and go to $5000 for th .22 short. No bidders though. Hope you get that one! They sure are pretty rifles.

jkbrea

Good luck with the recovery. Had my right shoulder replaced a couple years ago. I was elk hunting in 5 months but used a 30-30 that year. Back to 30-06 and 45-70 now. My biggest regret was waiting too long to do it. I went from not being able to hold my arm out in front of me, pain all the time, and...

From Browning. Several years ago I bought a set of packable rain gear at Sportsmans Warehouse. It cost me about $100 for the pants and jacket. I only used it a handful of times. It mostly was tucked away in my hunting pack. Last year I used it in a storm while hunting. Might have well used paper tow...

Great show. I read where it was cancelled because the average viewers age was 60. But, there were over 5 mill viewers each week.

I'm glad netflix picked it up.

jkbrea

Have a good one sir!

jkbrea

Thanks for the responses. My wife wanted a gun for home defense when I'm not around. Her dad's gun will be perfect. She's not a gun person but wants to learn and I'd rather she have a revolver. Less chance of a malfunction. Her dad also left a Colt Woodsman in excellent shape. The box was a little b...

jkbrea

No model number so I'm guessing pre 50's. Did find an article that said S&W didn't put Model numbers on their revolvers until late 50's. I'll keep looking. Thank you.

jkbrea

I didn't want to hijack the Mod 10 thread but it got me thinking. I may have one. I got this from my father in law when he passed a couple years back. I haven't fired it yet. I think it's a Model 10 but not sure. The serial numbers on the frame and barrel match but there is a different 5 numbers on ...

jkbrea

Awesome picture. Just hope wolves don't get down there soon or have they? I read years ago that the Red Desert was producing some really nice bulls and was a well kept secret. It's strange to think they were open plains animals at one time from coast to cost. Overhunting forced them to head for the ...

jkbrea

Thanks for te advice. I guess I won't shoot it....if I catch it. Animal control said to turn it loose at least 5 miles away to ensure it doesn't return. I didn't know there was so much money in trapping small animals. A private service said $300 to take care of it or $5 a day for a trap and a mandat...

A couple nights ago my wife and I awoke at about 2am to a horrible smell and a whiney dog. I never thought skunks smelled that bad when driving near a dead one, but up close, :shock: :shock: :shock: .

I understand that in this day and age many people are skeptical and suspicious, and rightfully so. That being said, this organization appears to be nothing more than a group that believes animals and birds are affected by consuming lead from animals/birds shot and not recovered. This may or may not ...

Thank you sirs.

I don't think it's a scam but maybe shouldn't have posted until I recieved it. Someone on another forum told me about it. The email stated it would be sent UPS to my address in about a week. Two weeks ago I filled out the form online. They only asked for name, address and email. They're a legit orga...

http://ventanaws.org/ammunition/ I saw this a while back and put my name in. Just got an email that they are shipping me a free box of lead free Barnes ammo from Cabelas. You can also choose Federal or Hornady. I've heard a lot of good things about lead free and always wanted to try it. If the link ...

Wow! That is talent! One of the most beautiful knives I've seen. Personally, I'd sharpen it and use the heck out of it.

jkbrea

from Ruger website....unloaded weight without sling or optics --- 9.7 to 11 pounds! Yeah. I saw that. Was thinking it would be a cool hunting rifle in .308. I suppose a 3 point sling across the front would be better to carry around but still would be pushing13-14lbs with a scope and sling. I looked...

It's not a levergun, unless you count the side lever. Turners in CA is listing them for $999.

I normally use Federal 180 grain Nosler Partition in 30-06 for elk hunts with great performance. My brother was using Blackhills Nosler Accubonds the last couple years in his 30-06. In my opinion, they perform very similar. Both are accurate in my bolt rifle, a Tikka T3 lite, with the accubond being...

Whew! I thought it was a Kardashian post.

Seriously though, that is looking awesome.

When I was a kid my dad worked at an iron mine. We had big boulders for landscaping. Kind of looks like that. I just remember they were heavy and hard to bust up.

The police say that the two escapes from New York prison got their guns and ammo from a hunters cabin that had stored guns and ammo, that seems crazy to me. In actuality they were NYS Troopers and DoC officers who owned that cabin, and left "so many guns there we don't really know how many gun...

jkbrea

Congrats! That last minute bidding is stressful. I just lost on two sets of Colt grips.....by $1.

jkbrea

No Dinasoars yet but it's worked fine on a few elk! Started out as a Marlin XLR with a long barrel and short mag tube. I sent it off and had it customized. A year later Marlin came out with the near identical 1895SBL. Guess I was onto something. :lol: Great and very accurate rifle. http://i237.photo...

I drew a Wy Gen Elk tag.
