    Silver State Nelson Bighorn Tag

    Am I allowed to hate him and the auction process but also be appreciative of the funding it provides and how much he contributed to conservation? It is a point of concern though in where the money actually goes. Nevada says that the money goes to the species but I haven’t personally audited it...

    Is your Unit on Fire?

    I had a unit on fire bad earlier this year but it was put out and things are looking okay. The areas I planned to hunt were not affected.

    Hornady Match - grains vs recoil for 6.5cm

    Can't speak to 6.5 Creedmoor but I can notice a big difference in my 300WSM between 180 grain and 215 grain. It goes over a level I tolerate no problem to a level I don't like.

    Browning X-Bolt Pro or Tikka in a Carbon Stock **POLL**

    This makes for a compelling case for Browning. I have always swapped my trigger springs in Tikka as well. I really liked Brownings but after feeling the tiger I was completely turned off. If the trigger is fixed they are pretty awesome.

    Browning X-Bolt Pro or Tikka in a Carbon Stock **POLL**

    He’s trolling. Tikkas are great just as they come. We just all love changing out parts because we can and we hate money.

    Electrical Tape on muzzle

    I always use tape. It’s already been said many times but tape is the best option as the rubber options end up tearing. Tape is super durable and works perfect. MDT did a test on it with slow mo cameras and the tape blows off the muzzle long before the bullet gets there. Also no POI shift.

    Browning X-Bolt Pro or Tikka in a Carbon Stock **POLL**

    I said Tikka basically just because aftermarket support. Some day when you decide you don’t like the stock on the browning you are hosed. Tikka has a better trigger. Browning will give you more caliber choices. The Tikka will give you a heavier barrel if you get the stainless roughtech...

    Washington High Buck

    Can we please let go of the idea that shooting bucks is somehow hurting deer populations?

    Why you should not take equity out or dump your 401 K to take super expensive hunts.

    Wondering this as well. Having money in your 401k doesn’t make you work. You can still retire early without touching your 401k so long as you still have assets and or money outside your 401k to live on until 59.5.

    Why you should not take equity out or dump your 401 K to take super expensive hunts.

    Taking out of your 401k or house is a bad idea no way about that but spending money on these hunts even if you are not rich could make sense but I struggle with it too. Tomorrow is never a guarantee and when you are older you may not be able to do these hunts or you may be dead. My dad had a...

    Washington High Buck

    I’m now feeling guilty for not shooting this cat a few years back when I had the chance. I didn’t buy the tag and he walked out 50 yards in front of me broadside.

    July Haul Road Update

    So only vehicles form the “parent” company for commercial use have 10 ply tires and any vehicles from you would not have 10 ply unless it is an HD truck?

    Using coyote pelt for stalk

    You’re better served to ride around with your FFA shirt on and your jeans so you can just drive right up next to them on your quad with your morning coffee. They will think you are just out there to turn the water on for them.

    Talk me out of a straight spotting scope.

    I have the Kowa 66a which is angled and am very happy with it. I have only ever owned angled spotters but have been thinking about getting a micro spotter like the Kowa 55 or Swaro STC and would go straight for that strictly for ease of going from binos to spotter. On the Kowa 66a target...

    July Haul Road Update

    Thanks for sharing. If running good 10 ply tires how common are flats on that road? Are the rocks just particularly sharp?

    Idaho NR Draw Bill… thoughts?

    I can see he side as I personally do well with the current system but would also like to see it change as I realize it is very unfair for many and makes it near impossible for parties. I’m willing to give up some for the greater good and to see all Americans get a fair shot 🇺🇸
