    [Upstate NY] Rocky outcrop ridge for hunting cover?

    Another thing you can do is to go in there now. Right now, and scout the area in question. Go now before things green up too much and look for last years sign. Rubs, scrapes, tracks and trails, etc…. take some milkweed and check the wind in these areas to get some idea how it flows. This may...

    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    I would go with my .308 Win If I could only have one rifle. I also have a 30-06 which many have listed and it’s a great round, and one I would also take, but as my second choice. During Covid when you couldn’t get ammo (or hardly get any) the only stuff available that I saw in my area was .308...

    Confused on kuiu sizing

    Sizing is definitely a question mark! im 5’7” and weigh 188 lbs. I usually wear XL tee shirts on a normal day and have a 34 waist size for jeans. i prefer my clothing a little loose, but wearing a large size is too small, and tight for shirts for me, and I’m not really a big guy. With that said...

    All around deer hunting cartridge.

    My current favorite is my Tikka TSX compact in .308 Win. last season I shot my handloads which consist of 150 grain Nosler Accubonds, 46 grains of Varget, in a Starline brass case with 200 CCI primers. I have that load dialed in out to 300 yards, and would not go much further than that. I have...

    What do you do for a living?

    Retired Public School Teacher. retired almost six years ago at 58. I have things that keep me busy, and I can pretty much hunt scout or anything thus related whenever I like. My Wife gives me things to do on occasion, but for the most part she allows me my hunting, and all that goes with it. It...

    Pics of Custom Knives

    How does that Kyle’s sheath work with the wood scales? Does it wear on the finish at all? I’ve been thinking on getting one for my field dressing knife as it is always blood covered after working with it and I don’t like putting it back into a leather sheath soiled.

    Is reloading 308 worth is these days?

    I live in communist NY. I have to get a background check now to buy ammunition and have to pay a fee for said background check. So far I don’t have to do that to buy components, but I’m sure somewhere down the road they’ll try to do something about that. I just continue to pick up components as...

    308 factory loads for whitetail

    My handloads are 150 grain Accubonds with 46 grains Varget and are very accurate and work very well on whitetails. Unfortunately NY is probably going non-lead on state lands soon and I do a bunch of public hunting so I’ve been playing around with 130 grain ttsx

    308 factory loads for whitetail

    I have a Tikka T3x compact .308 with a 20” barrel that I handload for. When I first bought it I used Hornady’s american whitetail ammo to sight it in. It was very accurate out of my rifle, and is relatively inexpensive. 150 grains, and is, I believe, the interlock bullet.

    Is reloading 308 worth is these days?

    I’m from communist NY and they’re talking about going lead free on state lands. I do a lot of public land hunting so I’ve been working up a load for Barnes TTSX for when that happens.

    Is reloading 308 worth is these days?

    If I lived in Canada then I would absolutely start loading my own! As restrictive as Canada is becoming, it is only a matter of time before they start regulating what, and how much you can have. That said, you can get into reloading relatively inexpensivly. At midway right now a Lee challenger...

    Having, or still dreaming of a white Christmas? [emoji1]

    Seems when we were young that we had snow every Christmas here in CNY. Lately however we don’t. The last white Christmas we had was in 2018 if I remember correctly.

    Top Tips for a new hunter

    Deer hunting is a great thing to get into. I’m 63 and I’ve only been hunting 10 years. I got into hunting very late and came from a family that didn’t Hunt while I was growing up. My Brother is an avid hunter who‘s close friend got him into hunting. I had two Brother In-laws (we recently lost...
