    Nevada California Bighorn Adventure

    Man I am excited for you! I would not be able to wait for the rut to start either! Thanks for writing up a great post with lots of interesting info. One of the blessings of hunting is really learning the habits and habitats of wild creatures. I'm glad the biologist was helpful and...

    Nevada California Bighorn Adventure

    Thanks for sharing your adventure on Rokskide. Do you mind to share what unit you drew? And what the biologist told you about sheep habitat and behavior? I may never draw a sheep tag but I'd still like to learn about them and at least pack in and glass a heard some day. Either way, I'm...

    New to archery. My first arrow build for hunting.

    To select arrow spine, follow the manufacturers' chart. Note: the chart usually assumes 100 grain point. You are shooting 125 so you need to bump up to the next stiffness. If you want to get the most out of a hunting arrow in terms of penetration, take your time at the shop and measure the...

    I’ve stopped applying my personal hunting ethics to others, and frankly wish others would do the same.

    I totally agree with you buckeye. I used to get frustrated with neighbors shooting smaller bucks. Hey, if they are happy, good for them. Of course, I'll still try to convince other hunters to let deer grow . . . But if their priorities are not the same as mine, I still wish them a successful...

    Sold Sirui VA-5

    I'm looking for a lightweight, compact pan head for my Nikon Monarch 10x42s. Would you recommend the va-5? What did you use it with and why sell it now? I've not used tripods with optics very much so any info or advice you share might help me make a purchase

    6.8 Western or 7 PRC?

    I agree they are both versatile modern big game cartridges, but I plan to go with the 7. My all around set up will eventually be two rifles: the Tikka 6.5cm I currently have for deer size game. Next, a powerful 7mm built for heavy bullets that will be my elk gun. Like you mentioned, the 7mm...

    FNG Western Kentucky

    Springfield KY actually. Like you, I hunt everything Kentucky has to offer. Plus I'm starting to do out of state trips. I've been to South Dakota, Michigan and Arizona so far. I'm very new to western hunting, but my advice is just do it. Find a hunt that's not too expensive and doesn't take...

    Creepy experiences in the backcountry

    Alrighty, maybe this forum can help solve a mystery for me. I was hunting in Arizona January 2021, standing on Indian head mountain getting set up to glass for javelina and coues deer. Full sun, blue sky. Then I saw a white flash. Very quick, like a flicker. The whole sky and landscape...

    Let’s here everyone’s opinion on which caliber they would get for a all round rifle?

    What bullet weight and speed do you get from a 300 WSM, 18"barrel and a suppressor?

    slick trick broadheads

    Originally, there blades were made in Solingen, Germany. They were excellent. Now the website just says made in USA. they may or may not be as good as the originals. I can vouch for the originals and recommend stainless for longevity and reuse.
