Once again, the typical RS bull excrement comes out. Attack anyone that disagrees with your royal highness.
You complain about mob rule yet you want to enforce your personal will and beliefs on the very masses that you so openly loathe. It is not surprising to see yet another forum member who...
Those city dwellers that live in "protected environments" have consistently chose to live with predators that are far more dangerous than any 4 legged critter. Those predators kill massively more people every year that those big bad wolves and evil bears that you love to demonize ever could...
I specifically used the phrase word "washed and folded skivvies" in my post.
While it is true that some folks did talk about not cleaning their gear, others described their cleaning regimen due to specific concerns. It is sad, but also unfortunately expected, that some folks are too dense to...
This is mostly a non-issue.
Scores of millions of biological females just in the USA and somehow their washed and folded skivvies do not attract bugs, do not have an unpleasant aroma, and do not cause their owners "health issues" due to monthly stains.
But a game bag/clothing/patch that has...
Reach out to Savage, either through email or phone, and ask them for the specific part number. You can even buy it from them assuming they have them in stock.
This post is the perfect example of why hunters will likely never come together again on anything meaningful.
1) You have someone that denigrates a subset of hunters based upon their GPS/mapping choices.
2) You have someone that denigrates a subset of hunters based upon their weapon choice...
Mine likes 143 ELD-X, 147 gr ELD-M and 129 gr ABLR (all hand-loads).
Settled on the 129 gr ABLR solely for the color of the tip as it makes knowing what ammo is for the 6.5 CM without having to think twice; all other meaningful metrics were close enough that it didn't matter which one I went...
Whatever works best for your rifle.
147 gr ELD-M produce tiny groups in my 6.5 PRC and hits 1800 fps @ 1100 yards
156 gr Berger’s produce almost as tiny groups in my 6.5 PRC and hits 1800 fps @ 1075 yards
No noticeable difference in felt recoil.
Absolutely correct.
But the dead bodies are not piling up on the beaches from sharks. Nor are there dead bodies piling up in apex bear country. Dead bodies are not piling up where there are wolves, mountain lions, or any other predator. The only species actively target humans are humans.
Yet...
These are my observations of an assortment of animals in an variety of terrain:
* Light rain - zero impact on animals
* Downpour - animals are hunkered down
* Moment rain lets up - animals are up and out (too many folks miss out on this because they are afraid that they will melt when exposed to...
True but there is also not the massive pile of human remains that the anti-bear/wolf/<predator of choice> crowd love to say will occur either.
There are way too many idiots in alpha predator country that manage to survive, even when recording themselves doing stupid things to animals that can...
Any opportunity to have hunters come together are long gone. There is just too much hyper polarization.
Hunters are too easily triggered, hunters constantly deride each other when others' "wrong" views do not align with their "right" views, too many non-residents believe that they and they...
The Razor LHT had a solid season of hunting by multiple forum members with nary an issue and was even highly recommended by many on this site. But then the LHT failed the RS drop test and it is now a scope to be shunned and ridiculed.
Real world results are no longer necessarily relevant and...
For those that believe in the concept of "I pay federal taxes so I deserve...":
You can still hunt federal land, where legal to do so, every single year even as a non-resident. Be the actual hunter you pretend to be and do the Squirrel Slam of North America. You get to hunt much of the same...
