    Shot bull. Having a hard time finding him.

    I read the whole thing, now I got see how this turns out. Pulling for you OP. I shot my first bull slightly quartering to me and barely clipped both lungs. That bull went a little over 400 yards, didn't bleed much and took me a while to find. Hoping you find yours.

    Doves

    Hit the public field last Friday and it was pretty slow. Shot 7. Got my field next to the house put out a little later so hunted it for the first time this weekend. Shot 5 yesterday morning hunting for about an hour before my daughter's soccer game. Finally sat down for a real hunt this...

    GPS watch recommendation?

    Bringing this back up. Anyone try out the Instinct 2X? Looks like it got some additional features like the multi frequency GPS, a flashlight, and unlimited battery life on solar. No maps but honestly I would probably use onx or similar if I needed more than the breadcrumb trail. Anyone try it yet?

    Price:Quality ratio of CA Ridgeline vs Tikka Roughtec

    Love my roughtech. Rifle shoots great on any ammo I give it. Cheap ammo, expensive ammo, hand loads, they all do great

    Custom Home - Must Haves?

    I agree with an accessible water shut off. This is how I plumbed my house which I have been very please with. Manifold home run system with single pieces of PEX A to every fixture. Individual shut offs to every fixture and a main shut off all in my garage (don't put it there if your garage is...

    GPS watch recommendation?

    Not familiar with the Garmin watches. What do they offer over the Samsung or Apple Smart watches besides battery life? I've got a Samsung watch (think it's a 4?) and it does more than I know how to work. Battery does suck though and I charge daily so may go to Garmin if it can do the same things...

    Tikka 6.5 PRC magazine

    Reviving this thread to see if there's any new options out there. I have the same issue as OP in a 6.5 PRC roughtech and would love a magazine that fits flush. Even a cheap plastic 3 round would be better than the extended 4 round it came with.

    Supplements and Vitamins

    I've been hesitant to take a multivitamin daily because I've heard of studies where over indexing on some vitamins specifically antioxidants can actually make you die earlier. Plus most of the research I've seen is unclear if there's any benefits. I personally take creatine, whey protein...

    Old summer sausage - would you eat it

    Found some elk summer sausage stuffed in the freezer and don't know how I missed it! From an elk killed in September 2019 and this sausage was made by a local processor. It was vacuum sealed and in a deep freezer this whole time. Pulled a log out, thawed, and it smells fine. Eating some now and...

    Shot Sequence in the Field?

    I try and go through the same mental sequence on every shot. For me it's square up to the rifle, grip rifle where I can make right angle with trigger finger, get good cheek weld, ensure proper sight picture (no edge shading), breath couple slow breaths, do a verbal here goes, exhale slowly while...

    Turkey vest

    I've been really liking the Alps grand slam. Wanted something with a kickstand to open up more setup options and it has been working great this season. Little heavy but I don't mind that.

    Turkey success pic thread!

    Finally got on the board after a slow start this season. Missed one last weekend for the first time in many years. Redeemed myself yesterday on this one. Almost let him walk because the grass was so tall I couldn't tell if he was a Jake or a Tom. At the very last second I saw the full beard and...

    Disregard politics or people what’s the worst state to live in?

    There's not a state one that isn't interesting if you look hard enough. I'd say the worst is whatever state has the most city divided by total land mass. Probably new Jersey
