    Factory 6.5 creed ammo for all around hunting

    Penciled through at 150. Bear was recovered after a scant blood trail. Went over 1k yards, tracked for over 8 hours with two guys.

    Factory 6.5 creed ammo for all around hunting

    You're not wrong. I hesitated to take the head shot at 150 with a broadside shot at the vitals.

    Factory 6.5 creed ammo for all around hunting

    Second time I've heard that today. You have personal experience on game? You getting passthroughs? Guy at the range said no passthroughs but swore by these cartridges. Seemed like a straight shooter.

    Factory 6.5 creed ammo for all around hunting

    I own a RAP in 6.5 creed. It shoots MOA with every hunting load I've put through it. I want to transition away from the ELD-X precision hunter as it did me dirty at close range (150). What is the best factory ammunition for deer and black bear out to 500 and as close as 20 yards? Would you use...

    Youngest son wants to become a welder

    I don't know about big bank. That must depend on location. I came up building custom boats in Skagit county Washington. I know a lot of guys at a lot of shops and nobody is making big bank. Union drywallers and Seattle bartenders make more money than welders where I'm from. Unless you're in a...

    Are you guys sick of tipping?

    I started in marine construction right after high school in 2009 and made $10/hr when the minimum wage was $9. This was in Washington where waiters make minimum wage plus tips. I didn't stay at that wage for long, but it's still bullshit. Tipping is bullshit. Employers should just internalize...

    Are you guys sick of tipping?

    What's crazy is working your ass off in construction for close to minimum wage starting out. Then you go to a nearby taco joint on your lunch break because you didn't make a lunch, and the cashier wants a 20% tip. In a state where minimum wage is a requirement for every employer. GTFOH with that BS.

    How to make salmon eating black bear taste good???

    Personally, I just don't shoot anything that eats from the ocean. Snow geese, sea ducks, etc. I don't like the meat, so I don't hunt 'em.

    Lets see your hunting/daily driver rig (Pics)

    Lot of memories made in this old gal. She goes in to the body shop on 9/6. I backed into a sturdy ass fence post on our latest adventure. First major damage in almost a decade. DIY ift and level, cool air intake, tint, LED lights inside and out, reverse lights, fog lights, bull bar. Removed the...

    Perspective: crowded elevators smell different to midgets.

    Short quotes that speak volumes.

    I think the top one is Orwell from 1984. He's describing Julia and her affinity for free love and vulgarity. Could be wrong. Edit I am wrong. It was Albert Camus. Pretty sure Orwell said something similar though.

    Processing prices

    I do everything myself normally, Just not cased sausage. Only because I've never had home made sausage that was anywhere near as good as the pros'. I butcher all my own animals, have a smoker, make jerky, bone broth, all that. I'm just intimidated by the links because I've seen so many failed...
