    Walking out at night

    My wife lol... 7-8 years or so ago when we got started we went way out scouting an area I planned to have tags in. It was summer so we just had basic lightweight camelbacks but we did have headlamps. We weren't planning on it but it got dark on us while still about two miles out. I didn't think...

    Drake waterfowl jackets

    I have some Drake sweaters but they're old so don't know if it still applies. I'm XL in Kuiu, L in Sitka, and the Drake sweaters the M fit me nice and snug to go underneath outer layers.

    Those legal in most states? Wife bought me one a few years ago and I've never used it for it's purpose.

    How to become a highly effective tracker

    Most of my experience is with deer, some exotics, and a few Nilgai and handful of elk. I'd say pretty universally though if they're hit and hurt they're running afraid they tend to go the path of least resistance if they're still thinking clearly so if a heavily used trail splits right that's...

    How to become a highly effective tracker

    In on this thread for some nuggets. I've made some miraculous recoveries over the years but usually just because I'm stubborn and won't quit, would be nice to add some skills to that stubbornness. lol Couple basics that come to mind that everybody probably already knows. I've stumbled on more...

    Elk advice, 2 lost in a row where am i going wrong?

    Several years ago my middle son was hunting with his mom and shot his first bull. I was a mile or so away with oldest son and we heard the shots, got excited but decided to wait until we heard from them to be sure. I guess about an hour or so went by and we just assumed it wasn't them, then we...

    Bergara B-14 Sierra Wilderness Accuracy Issues

    You've done everything except for perhaps the most simple thing and slap a known-good scope on there. It's worth a few rounds just to check it if you haven't done so. If that doesn't work I'd send it back and let them deal with it. I have the same exact rifle and it shoots the factory Hornady...

    Walking out at night

    Yes, it would be irresponsible to not assess the situation and all the variables and sometimes bugging out early is the right call. I usually sit til it's pure black, not just end of shooting light because I can still glass and scout for morning. I have left early before and I have gotten to the...

    The REAPER from Unknown Suppressors

    I had a brake unscrew (suppressor mount brake) when I attempted to remove the suppressor with a few drops of Rocksett used on the muzzle. I soak that stuff on there now.

    DRT Terminal Shock Load Data

    I searched the thread but didn't see any reference to it, figured I'd ask and see if anybody is loading the 95gr DRT in a 6 ARC? I'm brand new and making plans to start the journey with the wife's bolt action 6 ARC as it's the rifle we have the least ammo for. I've also got the same cartridge in...

    Elk advice, 2 lost in a row where am i going wrong?

    If shooting to the top half at that angle you risk only getting one lung and they can go almost forever on one lung, heck the lungs are chambered sometimes they can go extended ranges even with both lungs but if they have working chambers. At that angle I like lower to take the heart out and...

    Football fans???

    I saw Pickens doing the taking a nap thing on the football and have to wonder if he was poking fun at the Cowboys defense sleeping through the game lol.

    Suppressor Problems

    Unless that divot is manufactured incorrectly or spacing is off. Iirc all mine were offset forward or back and not directly under the port because one of the screws will fill the divot and there's two screws on the gas block. Block may be custom and not use standard spacing is another...

    Suppressor Problems

    I think there's an alignment tool made for gas blocks. Sounds like it's not in the correct spot.

    Elk advice, 2 lost in a row where am i going wrong?

    For example most places for speeding it's a defense to prosecution if you're speeding to get away from a reckless driver, stuff like that. Game recovery is not hunting. It's legal in Texas to shoot after dark a mortally wounded animal you're tracking to put it down if you caused the wound...

    What’s your ATV or UTV?

    Got the sides on to fit but think I'm gonna remove them for trailering, easy to put on they're just Velcro straps on the roll bar. I went with camo to counter the bright red (it was actually$7 cheaper for camo than black). :ROFLMAO:
