    Swapping bullets

    Tell the individual to open up his damn wallet and buy two boxes of Remington Cor-Lokt from "Gman Sporting" for for $21.35 a box. He can keep the FMJ for practice. If the individual still insists, he needs to sign a waiver releasing you from all liabilities and also pay full labor costs (at...

    Guided vs DIY - Your experience

    Throughout history hunters have taught other hunters what to do. Some folks, especially many on this site, have forgotten that tradition and expect everyone to self-teach from scratch. Ignore them as their "figure it out on your own" attitude is pure bovine excrement. Go guided with the primary...

    Scope for 375 Ruger

    Just wanted to provide an update as this has severely languished on my side due to work demands. With EO dropping the price on the Credo HX 1-8, I picked one up. I was close to grabbing a Vudu 1-10 but the long term reliability of the rubber illumination buttons gave me pause. Rings and base...

    The#1 issue affecting hunting?

    So how did the Northern herds do it for millennia before benevolent white people arrived? If you and your ilk were correct, there'd be no prey and predators left as the prey would have been killed off and the predators starved to death long ago. Or was there a rapid evolution in the killing...

    Awesome. So in one generation hunting will cease to exist.

    The#1 issue affecting hunting?

    Same BS was promoted by when they reintroduced wolves into AZ. The elk, mule deer, whitetail, turkey, etc are doing fine. Crazy that livestock as well are doing well enough (outside lack of water in some parts). This is 100% opposite of what the self-professed experts claims would happen. I...

    The#1 issue affecting hunting?

    Hunters are the number problem facing hunting. In today's environment you could not get the support of hunters to pass the equivalent of the Pittman-Robertson act even if it guaranteed unlimited hunting for life. Hunters are no different than anyone else in society; bitch and moan, not their...

    The#1 issue affecting hunting?

    Yet somehow the prey managed to survive for millennia with the predators present. Man gets involved, including hunters, and things go south.

    Cot Underquilt

    Bungees, para cord, electrical tape, etc all will hold a pad in place well enough on a Helinox cot or equivalent. No need to overthink things. EDIT: just grab two of these and call it good (or make something comparable): https://www.thermarest.com/cots/cot-accessories/cot-pillow-keeper/06197.html

    Rifle scopes you'd love to see Form test

    Had a Z5 that I won in a raffle. Sold it as I didn't care for it having insufficient elevation once the zero was set; left way too much yardage on the table with my 6.5 CM. Once its zero was set, there were no issues with it retaining zero nor dialing while I had it. This was before the...

    Rifle scopes you'd love to see Form test

    Are you claiming that there are not massive numbers of animals killed every year with unreliable scopes? Are you claiming that no one has ever used an unreliable scope for dangerous game? You know the one time the scope actually does need to work "good enough", with a large bore no less, and...

    Rifle scopes you'd love to see Form test

    Going to preface this by saying scopes should be more reliable than the boxes they come in... Crazy that some hunters use POS Swarovski scopes for dangerous game. If these scopes were as bad as you portray them to be, there'd be a huge pile of dead or maimed hunters in Africa alone. Throw in...

    Muzzle brake or not?

    This is based upon my personal experience and observations. This may or may not align with anyone else's experience and observations. #1) The felt recoil of prone shooting an 8# all-in T3X in 300 WM is going to be significantly more than shooting a 3 1/2" goose load (which you can do all day...

    OnX hypocrisy

    Lots of studies out there that people want convenience (or candy) and will give up anything for it.

    OnX hypocrisy

    When the various levels of governments are some of the biggest benefactors of the private collection of data, do not expect them to come "save" you as it is not in their best interest to do so. Remember these various levels of government constantly go to the private market to get information to...

    OnX hypocrisy

    Correct to a degree as it would need some mechanism to get the data to Garmin. I know my old Garmin unit came with software to install on my laptop. This allowed me to update the GPS (ex: newer maps), manage waypoints, etc. But it's naive to believe that there was no data being slurped up by...

    OnX hypocrisy

    When folks decided to use smart phones, they made a conscious decision to give up their privacy in exchange for convenience. Combine that with folks' blind acceptant of the app's ToS and nothing on your phone is technically your's (in an awful lot of scenarios).

    OnX hypocrisy

    Much easier that you envision to take that user's Onyx data, potentially combined with other data you agreed to give up when you installed the Onyx map combined with other users' Onyx data, etc to get a pretty good idea of what to do and when to do it. It is not that tall of a task.

    Dall Sheep Shape

    Grab a weighted pack and hit the trampoline park or a bounce house. There are times where it feels like you are walking on Jello. Don't overlook the fortitude. I lose over 16 pounds (over 14 days) on my sheep hunt and I was in great shape (that weight loss includes an unpurged large pizza, bag...

    Colorado Sells More Nonresident Elk Tags than all Seven Western States Combined

    Folks will whine but the majority will still pay. Saw it when gas was higher earlier in this administration. Junkies will always find a way to get their fix.
