    Tikka Prefit and 280ai

    How limiting is the magazine length with .160 of freebore (saami) if I wanted to run 150 barnes in a tikka with factory mags? Did anyone run into an issue with 150 accubonds? I'm not interested in running the super high weight high bc bullets. Thanks!

    DC/Virginia area Question

    Either or. I live somewhere now where I travel for hours, hunt hard and see one deer for every 40 hours. I baited bear this last year and spent 3k doing it and sat in the stand as much as I could. No bears. I got lots of raccoon photos towards the end of season. No bears. If I would spend...

    DC/Virginia area Question

    We will move to DC proper. She's lived there before as a PMF'r and my little sister has too. We have some good, good good friends who'd probably let us move into their house they bought there as well. The best way I can put it is that I'm familiar with fishing in Rock Creek Park. I've been...

    DC/Virginia area Question

    Yeah, I've done urban archery before. I'm more interested in opportunity at this point. I mean, I have whitetail heaven to travel back to. Kind of hilarious: I called my mom when I was in Maine hunting this last November. I was all jazzed up as there were deer tracks. My dad answered...

    DC/Virginia area Question

    I would love some opinions. I know absolutely no one who I can bounce this off of who would have a clue what I'm asking about. I'm a child of the plains who's been stuck in New England for a few years. It didn't take me long to figure out that I enjoy taking trips out west for hunting VS...

    Adirondack hunting ally

    I'm replying to a lot here. In regards to poaching, there are tons of articles here about folks that get caught with 15 illegal bucks and stuff like that. There was one guy I remember who had a yard light at night that turned on from his bedroom with a bait pile. It was going on for years...

    Custer South Dakota Bison Odds

    Did the state quit publishing them, or am I missing something. Thanks!

    Adirondack hunting ally

    VT is ROUGH. I'm guessing you're hunting the NEK. I go there or some gross areas in the GMNF. The one time I found actual good sign in the NEK I scouting I went during season. I counted 20 guys in about 80 acres. LOL. That was in Nullhegan. Honest question. Do you hear shots at night...

    Is it illegal to pack deer out?

    Interesting. I talked to the warden where I hunt and emailed the state. They told me I must remove the deer whole. So much stuff here is like that. I just recently realized you can't car camp at the WMAs legally during the big game seasons when you can camp. You've got to have an RV with a...

    Labrador and Northern Quebec Fishing--anyone familiar with regulations?

    I went through the same thing you have for the same reasons. "We can just take off for 3 weeks. This will be amazing." I made a lot of calls and talked to a lot of Canadian friends. My partner also speaks/reads French fluently. I live in New England for now, so that's why I've been dorking...

    2022 Black Friday Deals - HuntingGearDeals.com

    Pro trip: Call up locksmiths in your area. My brother in law is one. He gets calls all the time to get into grandpa's safe and haul it off. It's not worth his time to resell them...they get sent to the dump. Once in a while someone will call him about getting one. He asks them what...

    Lifetime Hunting License?

    I have Nebraska and Vermont hunt/fish. I was pretty iffy on buying Vermont, but it could get better here. It was also really expensive. I play the draws out west hard. I just looked and I'm doing 87 applications this year. I've talked with my partner about it pretty hard, and our next...

    Leica Amplus 6 Riflescope review by Josh Boyd **updated 7/5/22**

    For what it's worth, I just got a 1-6 amplus. I'm impressed with the clarity. The dot is super fine and works well at night. I will also add, I have slight astigmatism and for some reason the dot is always slightly blurry. My other illuminated scopes don't have that issue.

    New Mexico Mule Deer for NR

    I was just out in Carlsbad and talked to a lot of folks and spent a lot of time outside in that area. It looks like super fun country to hunt, but not worth traveling that far for. I send in all over and NM is a state I really don't try for mule deer in. I can find general hunts that are...
