A 222 rem mag is ballisticly almost identical to a .223. If Im not mistaken it may be even a little faster. It was Remingtons answer to the popularity of the .223. It didnt catch on. Sweet gun and awesome caliber though ! My mistake. Didn't read the magnum part. Was thinking of the 222 remington which I think also came in the 722.

For any coyote hunters who want to save the pelts, this would be an awsome gun. Huge difference between 222 and 223 as far as fur damage goes. Drops coyotes in their tracks and rarely has an exit hole.

Nail on the head. I use it in some of my handgun wildcat cartridges and it's next to impossible to find.

If you can't find them there are ways around using the gauges. Any factory round will serve as a go gauge and a no go is pretty simple to make. After over 15 years as a gunsmith and thousands of rifles built I've never touched go/ no go gauges except for one or two of the Ackley improved cartridges, which have some special rules when chambering.

The OP has some very valid questions. The kachina peaks hunt now has new boundaries that are not well defined or explained. I think more than a few elk will get shot outside of the new bouundries this year because of this confusion. I would want to talk to someone who knows at the game and fish as well. Kind of bold calling someone a wannabe who drew a tag for probably the most physically demanding elk hunt in the state. Anyone who tags an elk in these new boundaries is no wannabe.

Wow. I didn't realize that the peaks hunt had shrunk to just the wilderness zone. Kind of confusing in the regs and the link to the website has the old peaks boundaries. Hope they clarify and send the hunters an updated map. I don't have experiences with any other offices bit I will say that the flag one is pretty terrible as far as customer service. They used to be a lot worse and have seemed to be better as of late. My first year trapping I walked in to get cites tags for bobcats. I left my cats in the truck and went in to see how and what I needed to do. The woman, almost yelling at me, was very rude and said how she can't just give me cites tags and wasn't about to walk out side. I said I didn't expect her to, that I was just trying to be curtious before bring animal carcasses into their building. Ever since then I've been waiting for the day I get a lion or a bear so I can drag it into the lobby for its inspection.

Seeing how it's mounted I'm gonna guess no.

Congrats on a great tag! 11m is great because these elk never see a rifle hunt. All 11m is elk country. A1 mountain, walnut canyon, cosnino, around Forrest highlands, timberline are all good starting points.

Who in the G&F would risk criminal consequences and open the department up to a massive lawsuit so the department can have a few extra bucks. More likely another in the long list of G&F screw ups.

+1 location?

This is a screaming deal. Best and strongest cap and ball ever made and the price keeps climbing every year since they have been dropped. I'm a gunsmith in flag and we do a .475 and 50 cal 5 shot conversion for these.

Well it's the first year in a long time I've got to sit out. Coming off 7 back to back bull tags I can't really complain. Mabey I'll try for the Otc hunts. Ones only 40 miles from me and another about 60. I'd love me a velvet bull or a chance to hunt in the rut with a gun. I'll pick up my goat loyalty point this year too putting me at I think 14. Still a decade away from a sure thing but I still feel like I'm over the hill towards my goat tag.

I have been talking with my brother in law and have tenitivly decided to try a Wyoming antelope hunt. Size is not a big objective but rather a good hunt that we can spend time with family and hopefully fill a few tags. We don't want to wait half a decade or more for trophy units. Having second doe/fawn tags would be a plus. Should we wait for left over tags? Are units that have leftovers still possible to tag out on pubic land? Should we consider purchasing land owner tags? What parts of the state/units sound like they would fit our bill? Thanks.

Send it to a tannery yourself and cut out the middle man.

I bought mine off a cw member that used it on a buff hunt. You have to go online and setup an account for each unit. Each one has a unique ID. If there is still an account tied to it you cannot set up a new one. Me and the member had to do a little back and forth with Garmin to get it wiped. Once you have an account, only you can activate or deactivate it.

It's called grammar, space cadet. Darwin works in mysterious ways, embrace it & ditch the INREACH. Do it for humanity. I'll sleep better at night knowing you don't carry a spot or inreach in the back country. When you have an accident miles from nowhere and you are laying in the freezing cold, just keep telling yourself how not having a little box that could have saved your life is survival of the fittest.

I took one to Africa last year. My wife's only stipulation for me going hunting. Worked well for texting. Placed it on the roof of the hut I was staying in and was able to have text conversations in a somewhat timely fashion, bluetoohthed through my phone.

March 21st is the earliest I've found a brown.

I bought a primos alpha dog and I have been nothing but happy with it. I got mine when they were on sale for about $150. Not on sale it is close to $300 and for that price I would consider a foxpro or one of the higher end e calls. Just make sure you get one that can carry the sound out there. Contrary to what some say I think a good e-call is better that mouth calls. Such a variety of choices. My success at calling has exploded since I started using one. Coyote pup distress, antelope fawn distress will bring in any coyote within ear shot. Pig distress on a hung up coyote will bring him in running.

Very cool. I've been told bobcat sets will catch greys but I have never cought one. For me it's always bobcat, skunks or rabbits. Never cought a badger either. Do you specifically target badger or is it incidental? I've been trapping some juniper prairie country and have found some holes about 8 inches around and assume they are badger. Was considering setting a trap at one just to see.

Yup. Cat. Segmented, blunt ends, lacking berries or seeds. Mostly meat diet make them start pretty green, oxidize to black and bleach out white fairly quickly. Top track is no question cat. Bottom tracks a little harder to tell. The heal pad is the easiest way to tell a cat track and it not very clear in the picture if it has two or three lobes but the track lacks nail marks in fairly deep mud which makes me think it's a cat. The track also appears wider than it is tall and also it looks like the second toe on both tracks is a little farther forward, kind of like our index finger, which would imply cat.

I am bad about taking pics and its kind of hard by myself, setting my phone in the rocks and setting a timer. But here are a couple more
