    Western bow hunter with a rifle tag

    A rifle caliber and choice is going to end up boiling down to personal preference and money you want to spend. It would be the same as getting on an archery sight and asking what's the best bow, arrow setup and broadhead choice. You could do a rokslide special like guys will suggest (Tikka 223...

    No Big Game Tags Drawn, is this normal?

    Everyone says to move out west, which I don't disagree with, but living in the Midwest or western adjacent has it's advantages. I bought a lifetime hunting and fishing license in a state years ago for $725. I can hunt 2 bucks and 6-8 does a year, not to mention turkeys, dove and pheasant in...

    How to get into diy western hunting

    If you're a college student then look for a job out west when you are getting ready to graduate. That would be the only way to be able to consistently go on the cheap. I live in Oklahoma so it's not crazy far to Colorado or New Mexico and I still have to be intentional with my time and money to...

    What if the federal government decided to start selling off swaths off public land?

    Very true. Even though it's only 2% public, 2% of Texas is still a lot.

    Blue Loctite Alternative??

    We use blue loctite on stainless parts all day at my job in manufacturing. Rebuilding stainless water bottle filling equipment and parts, loctite definitely works but has a cure time. Most generally manufacturers specify what thread locker they would recommend. They pay engineers to figure this...

    First suppressor. Do everything.

    I have a 30 cal that I use for hunting rifles and 5.56 or 300 blackout, I have a rimfire suppressor for my 22's and that's by far the most fun. I would think a suppressor for pistols you would want to be a little smaller. I've never looked into that personally. Your standard 9mm wouldn't be sub...

    Reasonable Priced 7mm PRC

    I've had a few Browning's, between my dad and buddy they've had 6 more, all were shooters. I just finished a Tikka 7prc build as well. I ended up spending quite a bit more then $1500 though. That was mostly my fault for getting a different stock, and a proof research barrel. If you go this...

    Solo hunting anxiety

    I had a Harley that I enjoyed riding. I got married and then I suddenly started feeling selfish and not enjoying it as much due to worrying. Same thing has happened to me as well with solo hunting being married and having two sons under the age of 8. I've worried and been nervous more every...

    First Time Hunting Mulies

    I'm not familiar with the area you're going into but I've hunted early season a few times in NM. The heat can be pretty bad during the day and I've only had to deal with flies during the day and a little mosquitoes during the night when sleeping without cover. You can't pack enough water...

    Oklahoma Preference (Bonus) Points

    The biggest elk I've seen down there were on the fort sill side. There was a monster bull that hung out by the road on the fort side when I was looking stuff over for my hunt.

    Oklahoma Preference (Bonus) Points

    I know man. That's exactly what I told my dad. I counted 33 bulls in two days but it was only a handful of cows. I will say that most the bulls are a little busted up in the January walk in hunts. I couldn't hardly find anything that wasn't busted all to crap.

    Oklahoma Preference (Bonus) Points

    Did you draw this year? My Dad has been in the same boat as you, putting in since the 90's. He put a cow tag as one of his last choices and drew a cow tag this year. I'm kinda frustrated cause I wanted him to draw a bull tag like I did eventually but we'll have fun chasing a cow.

    Valuing tags

    Season dates have started becoming more important to me, last couple early season hunts have been obnoxiously hot. Not only looking at public land % but actual access. I went on a hunt back in 2017 and the public land % was great, access looked good on OnX, but when I actually got there it was a...

    Hunting Stages?

    I have never seen it written out like this but have talked about stages with friends and family. When guys are younger typically there's a blood lust and they're ready to kill. As you age you start respecting life more as you start staring your own mortality in the face or burying friends and...

    What do you think this mule deer scores?

    Good news is, if this was last year then he will bigger. If he was 150 ish last year might be 165 ish this year.

    No USPS gun ship

    I had a post office argue with me about shipping a muzzleloader, which isn't a firearm. Took it to a different post office and told them it was an antique. I had fed ex and UPS folks tell me they wouldn't ship ammo. If you set up a pick up with UPS then you can ship ammo, just have to declare...

    2024 Co deer recaps

    Unit I'd been eyeing has went up a point every year recently and continued to stay a point ahead of me. Luckily I picked a different unit and hit it just right.

    Dude, that drives me nuts. Pretty freaking rude.

    New Meateater - Has Steve Gone Too Far???

    Haiti could be a new "meateater experience". After paying 10k to go fish with him and the crew, you can pay to go to a third world country with him.
