In vehicle navigation while hunting
To my knowledge onX is active on car play but not for droids yet. Until then I'll continue to use Google maps one the dash / onX on my phone.- Slick8

What to look for E-Scouting
Some great info above. I'll duplicate what others have said as it's worked for me. Do a large area e-scouting of the general area of the unit you want to hunt. Then if possible make a short trip to the unit, even if it's just a couple days to get the lay of the land. You're then money ahead and... -

Chargemaster drifting weights
Lots of good info above. I have mine mounted on a solid bench and is sitting on dryer sheets. I also wipe the scale and area down with a dryer sheet prior to starting. I don't have flo lights or a cell / tablet running in the immediate area. I usually keep mine on or turn it on well before I... -
Need help with new hunting rifle.
Any of those listed will get the job done in 6.5 Creed, 7-08 or 308 with the 7 being the slimmer choice regarding ammo. I'd add the 260 Rem in these but the creed has really killed it's appeal making ammo harder to find. Now if you reload, take your pick. I like a 20-22 inch barrel for a... -
How does your job prepare you for the mountain?
My job is near zero, walking a few flights of stairs per day and on average about mile combined through most days. This is very little other than saying I'm not 100% sedentary. I exercise to make up for it through strength and cardio training. I enjoy the time spent doing it and know it will...- Slick8

OMG. I drew one of the best Coues Deer Units in New Mexico- advice?
It's a gunwerks revic. I'm not a genwerks fanboy but they do have good stuff. This thing was sold where I live which allowed me to test drive it plus support a mom and pop store, although my business certainly won't make or brake that particular store. 😉 One thing I really liked is there's no...- Slick8

OMG. I drew one of the best Coues Deer Units in New Mexico- advice?
Best of luck to ya. No coues experience but I've hunted southern NM mulies a few times. While not a ghostly as the coues they are hard to spot. I'd go with 15x quality glass and a really good tripod. A spotter is a great option as well. I've changed things around a couple times from cheap and...- Slick8

Vets refusing to work on hunting dogs
I know a few that run hogs with dogs and ensure similar injuries; tusk, being played on and crushed or heat relate issues. Never heard of a vet not taking one. My cousin has his on speed dial and has gone in the middle of the night.- Slick8

10 shot cold bore test at 890 yds
That impressive shooting sir. I try to do something similar as we get close to season but it's $15 per day for essentially one shot. Although I typically shoot more once there. I have a 600 yard public range fairly close to the house and on the way home from work. I'll stop an shoot a couple... -

Unit 16a NM Outfitter recomendation
I do a lot of internet searching where they'll pop on forums like this. There will be good and bad on most of them. You need to read between the lines on the bad as many times it's someone who can't be pleased. RED flags would be anything where you hear complaints of them skirting or breaking... -
Unit 16a NM Outfitter recomendation
Speaking from experience of being in your spot a few years ago I vote get an Outfitter if you can. I was going to solo diy as my hunting partner had an application issue and was unable to apply with me. My wife pretty much insisted on an outfitter after I made the mistake of showing some... -
Gun parts classified?
I've seen other forums do both, one section for all and broken down into subs. I like the sub sections if it's a busy classifieds; Guns, Gun parts and accessories, Reloading supplies / Ammo.
