    Oregon spring bear

    I went out over the weekend in the SW corner of the SW zone. This area is new to me but I didn’t see bear or any sign. Veg seemed more green down around 1000 ft compared to 2000 plus. I found some roads with slides across them. Im tempted to go back and hike around the slides then hunt the road...

    Trinity Area Fall Bear Hunt

    Manzanita grows from 2000 to above 7000 ft that I’ve seen. I’m sure it goes beyond this range too. I’d avoid hunting the manzanita unless it’s pretty sparse. Oaks are a bit lower. Scrubs oaks up to about 5000 ft. If there’s still blackberries around they’ll be eating those. You might be on the...

    Yeah I’ve never had an issue except that one shell.

    What am I doing wrong?

    I think I was at first but I also tried very light pressure.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for all the ideas. I stripped the bolt and checked max length which was 2.85”. Put the bolt back together and the rounds at 2.85 will chamber. So I’m not sure why the 2.79” round wouldn’t chamber before. I’m using multiple rounds to verify dimensions now so maybe there was something...

    What am I doing wrong?

    And I measured quite a few times. First measurements were inconsistent but they’ve gotten better.

    What am I doing wrong?

    It was slightly crimped. I loosened it up and just pushed the bullet back to the plunger. Still measuring long.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Not new. Fired 2 or 3 times. Full length sized after each firing except the last. How do you tell if the shoulders are hanging up? Or how do you fix it?

    What am I doing wrong?

    I just got a Hornady OAL gauge. I made modified cases from rounds fired in my rifles. I’m working with 270 and 7mm REM mag. My problem is the lengths I’m getting from the OAL gauge are longer than what will chamber in my rifle. For example, the 270 max CBTO per the OAL gauge is pretty...

    Oregon spring bear

    I put in for SW tag this year. Will be my first spring bear hunt and first Oregon hunt. Looking forward to it. Not exactly sure what I’m doing, but it’ll be an adventure.

    Fall bear, solo, no bait, no elk to sit on

    I found an area this fall with lots of bear sign and put up a camera on a trail leading to water. Lots of bear pics but mostly at night. I hunted through the area quite a few times and only saw bears twice. So I’m curious about other tactics too. But I would put a camera up. Put it up high or...

    Is it too late in CA ?

    I have a camera out in an oak patch. I’m getting pics mostly at night. There’s some afternoon activity too. Not much in the morning.

    Diamondback spotter

    I have been using one and it’s ok. It is definitely limited but works out to half a mile or so, in good light. I saw a deer at about a mile in the shade and had a hard time telling it had antlers. These are pictures from about 500 yds hand holding a phone. I’m looking to upgrade for sure. If...

    Maven CS. 1A 15-45 X 65 Spotting scope

    Any update on this? I’m looking to upgrade my spotter. I have maven binos and really like them. If I could get a used swaro I’d go that route but I’m interested in the maven too.

    What did you end up getting? I’m in the same situation. Tough decision.
