    What’s your back country bow weight

    I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of time and money trying to get the lightest bow setup for backcountry hunting. What I found was that the lighter my bow got, the less steady I was shooting. Then I got to thinking about the fact that I carry an eight pound rifle around during firearms season...

    20” Long Action Talk

    Handloaded with Hammers. I have one load with 143HH that shoots .2 moa all day long at 2870, sub 10 es. Another node right at 3000 that is about .6, also under 10es. Mild pressure signs on that one, but I hunt the faster load.

    20” Long Action Talk

    I have an 18” 280ai that has become my go-to for everything <500yds. Built it to run suppressed but it’s equally enjoyable and accurate without a can.

    Planning a Mountian Lion Hunt and Have a Few Questions

    Dry ground would be really cool to watch the dogs work but there’s something pretty special about deep snow and cold in the mountains. Breaking trail with the trucks and the feeling of the hunt as it ebbs and flows with the weather.

    WTB Spot Hogg Fast Eddie double or triple stack

    Check the classified section. Someone just listed a bunch of archery stuff and had a fast Eddie xl in the mix.

    Planning a Mountian Lion Hunt and Have a Few Questions

    I just did my first Lion hunt in early January. It was an incredible time! I’ll echo what has been posted above. On call is certainly ideal. If that isn’t an option with your schedule, I’d try to carve out two weeks to be on call, or have the flexibility to extend your hunt beyond a week if...

    Which Reflex Optic Red Dot Size/MOA for Turkey Shotgun?

    I usually prefer a smaller dot but with a shotgun, I don’t think you’ll regret a larger dot if that’s what your eyes need. I’ve found that varying the intensity helps me find that sweet spot more so than the dot size.

    SG tokeen 2600 who’s running one?

    Tagging in. I’ve been wondering about this one as well.

    Tikka Prefits Recommendations

    I would get on the list with Unknown Munitions and use a different rifle for spring bear. It’ll be worth the wait to have a top quality finished product rather than jumping on whatever you can get your hands on in a hurry.

    Under $700 optic for a beginner to grow with

    Trijicon Credo gets my vote. I much prefer it to the SWFAs that I’ve had. Zero stop is a must for me. Should be able to find one around your price range. 3-15 is good magnification for out to 600.

    Rooster came out pretty well!

    That’s a great mount and a better idea. Wish I’d had one mounted for each of my dogs passed. Going to have to start doing that from here on out.

    Pig in the ground

    I did years ago. Lined a large hole with bricks and had a nice oak bonfire in it. Might have had a few too many beers during the fire part. We had previously wrapped the hog in wet burlap and chain link. Dropped it in when we were down to a nice bed of coals. Surrounded it with additional dried...
