I thought about making this post, and decided to go for it since I figure there's someone else out there wondering if they could do a DIY Pre-Fit Custom. If I can do it, you can.
Last summer, a family friend got me into long(er) range shooting. Helped me work up a load for my rifle (.3” @...
Selling my Browning Hells Canyon Speed in 7mm Remington Magnum. Purchased new when they first came out 4 years ago. Round Count is ~150-175. As far as I can tell, the stock is not sticky. The stock has a few scratches but nothing super deep, and I don't notice any chipping in the Cerakote.
We...
I bought myself a $300 Kuiu E-Giftcard a while back, picked up an elements jacket when they were on-sale, and have since realized Kuiu isn't what I need to finish out my system. There's still $106.77 left on the e-giftcard, and I'd be happy getting $90 for it. It's an E-Giftcard so there's no...
Purchased last year around this time, loved them but I got a generous upgrade of SLC's. As far as I can tell, there's no scratches on any of the lenses, but there is a cosmetic scuff on the bottom of the body.
Thanks to my exceptional forethought and planning skills, I screwed in my quick mount...
Wasn't too impressed with my 125 merino from Kuiu. Bought 2 - took 1 on It's first hunt and it pilled and snagged hard enough that I returned my other one once I got back. It's mostly cosmetic issues, but I expected more durability (having never owned lightweight merino).
First buck of mine I'd call mature. Having walked up to 7 others, I didn't realize how much larger his body size would be and definitely gave me a holy s*** moment. (For reference I'm 6' 215 in a 3x in that)
I did it this year for my out of the truck Oct/Nov deer hunts this year. I've been told I run warm - maybe, maybe not - Jeans and a t-shirt this morning at 32 degrees for a casual 15 minute walk and I was comfortable & a bit sweaty. On the 'warmer' days I'd hike in with a Peloton 118, and would...
Not an archery hunter - By Spring bear of last year, I had killed 6 bucks in 7 years of hunting, with having shot at 6 bucks (5 over 250 yards.) During that spring bear hunt that took me 6 years to draw - On day 12 (I did like 4, 3 day trips) I ended up finally seeing a bear at ~800. Then snuck...

I had buddies in HS & Earlier in college who had “airtight smell proof” containers for a particular flower that would fill, then Lysol wipe down, leading to stories that they were able to walk by drug dogs without issues. Not saying that would work perfect for your needs, but it might be...

I’m not an expert, nor super detailed in this whole matter. But I looked through a ton of other forums a while back, and one guy seemed to explain why - so this is the horse repeating what the rancher told him.
Basically he said a biologist sectioned off the 3-4 units to study bear behavior...
I hate asking for advice, but I was wondering if anybody’s hunted Unit 11 before for spring. Scrolling and searching through tons of threads on different forums, no one really talks about it.
Is that because it has a pretty low density, or because it’s extremely rough terrain to hunt?
