    Jimmy John kills potential new state record sheep in NM

    What's with the negative tone towards people who are extremely successful. Is it just jealousy? We all make choices in life. Some people choose to work their butt off and take risks which lead to huge success. Some people choose to live in a place that offers less opportunity for earning but...

    You like your truck camper shell for Hunting?

    My favorite canopy that I've ever used is the Smartcap. It has full opening side door/windows, plus small sliding vent windows in the doors. It's stainless steel so you can use magnetic lights inside. The anti-dust vent system works really well and you don't get cracks in the rear corners like...

    NX8 4-32x50 MIL-C F1

    I ended up buying two NX8's (with Mil-XT reticle because that's what was available) and love them. I don't personally have any issues with the reticle for my style of hunting and shooting. I do prefer the Mil-C reticle since I don't use the tree, but it doesn't really bother me either. All I...

    2024 NRL Hunter schedule

    I'm not going to post all the details, but I felt he was extremely rude when he and I were having a conversation at the match, so I'll gladly take my business elsewhere. I'm sure he's a nice guy (other people have said so), but that was not my experience.

    2024 NRL Hunter schedule

    I will not be shooting the finale due to location and match director. I sent Travis an email explaining why. I'll also never shoot one of Collin's matches again after meeting him last year and shooting the finale he hosted.

    Switching from minutes to mils

    You need to try not thinking that way at all if possible. It doesn't help you.

    Switching from minutes to mils

    Someone else posted this so I just copied it instead of writing it in my words. A mil is 1/1000 of whatever unit of measure you are using for distances. If you are using meters it breaks down like this: 1 mil at 1000 meters = 1 meter or 100 CM or 1000 MM 1 mil at 500 meters = .5 meter or 50...

    Looking for a long range rifle bipod

    For General Hunting The Gunwerks bipod is great for all prone positions. It deploys extremely fast, it's solid, and fairly light. If weight and cost are not as much of a concern, the MDT Lightweight Double Pull is awesome. Sitting or kneeling, I prefer a tripod. As some others have...

    Q&A Leupold Mark 4HD 2.5-10x42mm FFP TMR

    Is that the same criteria for the Maven? I really like the Maven guys but it seems like we're going easier on them compared to Leupold.

    Washington High Buck

    It would force people to choose which hunt is actually important to them, increase your odds of getting premium tags, and reduce crowding in the October seasons. I doubt it would change the high hunt much at all. I would be okay with extending the seasons so they're longer as long as you can't...

    Washington High Buck

    I would only like to see the HH go to draw so that people have to decide which hunt they really want to do. It's a selfish thing for me and has nothing to do with helping the population. In fact, I wish all deer hunting in WA was through a draw. It would go something like this. Basicall...

    2 tikkas, 1 caliber.

    Just resize it so both bolts close without interference, and don't overthink it.

    Average Hunter Ignorance.

    The part you're not understanding is that distance has nothing to do with it. There are plenty of Fudds walking around the woods that shouldn't be taking a 100-yard shot with a rifle. The long-range stuff makes it to YouTube because the hunter has time to make a video of their bad shooting. The...

    2 tikkas, 1 caliber.

    I would just try your load in his rifle and see if it's acceptable. If it is, I would load them all the same. I don't remember the specifics off the top of my head but I have used the same load in four or five Tikka 7 RM's. I know powder was Retumbo, bullet was Berger 168 Classic Hunter, CCI...

    Average Hunter Ignorance.

    Should we also ban decoys for waterfowl since they can trick the animals? What about hunting over crops? That's not fair because the animal is eating. Next, let's ban elk hunting in September because we can call the elk which isn't fair. ^^pure sarcasm just to be clear^^

    Average Hunter Ignorance.

    You don't like it... therefore it should be illegal. Also an extremely ignorant statement. Don't forget that you're in the long range hunting forum. If you don't like long range hunting, you should not open this forum. Same for someone who opens the archery or trapping forums but doesn't...
