    Midwest rut dates

    Western Wisconsin, I love the week before Halloween for searching bucks. I usually have best hunting Halloween through Nov 6/7. After that the bucks are on lockdown around me and tougher to hunt.

    6.5 SAUM Bullet Selection

    Anyone running the 156s in their SAUM with powders other than H1000 or RL26? My new barrel is on order and I’m getting set up to load now, and only have 1lb of H1000. Haven’t been able to score anymore at a reasonable price yet, so I picked up some Magnum, LRT and 7828.

    Tikka romance confessions wanted

    I love my Tikkas. However, I don't like the stock on either the M595 or my T3. And their 30 Caliber offerings only have 11 twist barrels for some reason.... Tikka has several left handed options which is helpful to me being a lefty. We own 4 Tikkas in our household. All of them are...

    Reflective Tree Markers

    I've been using the HME Trail Marking Tacks for the past couple of years. I like the tacks better than marking tape when it's dark out. Easy to see.

    Share your “Buy once cried once” lesson

    Mine goes all the way back to 2003, when I made a lot less money. The decision wasn't over a lot of dollars, but it was a lot to me at the time. I was a couple of years out of school, just welcomed my first son and had plans to try and add another that year. It was then that I bought my...

    Newer full sized pickup truck experiences?

    I've owned to F150s and drove the first one to 192K with no issues other than regular maintenance, and the second to 208K with only one issue with the 4WD engaging when it shouldn't. $100 to fix that. Other than that, the truck still had the original battery, alternator, transmission and...
