    Scope Mount Height???? B14 with NX8

    Have you reached out to Talley to get their answer? In the past I've reached out to more than one manufacturer asking them which part number for scope X on rifle Y. Probably going to jinx it, but I'm batting 1000 with this approach.

    How much does this Bear weigh? Boar or Sow?

    I'll say it: it's a dink. Quick visualization assessment: * It is petite overall, there's way too much light underneath the bear, ears are still "big", has a small neck, and it has dainty ankles. * Round 1 assessment: hello Booboo Quick size comparison assessment: * Bear hunters that bait and...

    New Record! Colorado elk…

    It's all about perspective. One person's "clarifying question" may very well be interpreted as "too lazy..." by the person being asked. Yes a newbie could spend weeks reading posts about topic X. But if a single person would tell the newbie the answer is "Y" then the newbie would not have...

    New Record! Colorado elk…

    That right there is the problem: there is no "your" spot on public land.

    New Record! Colorado elk…

    Yet here people are on this very site asking for information to some degree in order for them to do less work. If someone were to look at all of your posts on this forum, would they find a single post (or more) with you asking a question? .

    Post Liberty debacle

    Go with whatever floats your boat. And if you feel the need to "stick it to the man", have a 3rd party locksmith change the lock out for you.

    Hunting in grizzly territory

    Lots of great info provided. Before leaving the meat, put up some tree branches (think tripod or teepee) that would easily get knocked down if a big predator came in to claim the kill. Nice visual indicator. Do what you can and just go from there. Tons of folks live, hunt, camp, hike...

    AZ bison hunt

    Lots of information on this very subject is on www.coueswhitetail.com. Some helpful and not so helpful folks up there (hunting area). Do be prepared for all possible weather and weather forecasts can be hit or miss. Edit: Congrats you lucky SOB!

    Liberty Safes Provides Access Codes to FBI

    So the WKRs get their frillies knotted up on this. But the same folks ignore they massive amount of personal information that they freely provide to non-government entities which is then given freely to or legally sold through commercial channels to various levels of government. All done in...

    Scope Recommendation for my son's Tikka that's not an SWFA

    Buy the scope you want and let your son use it this season. Then when the SWFA arrives put the SWFA on his and your scope on your rifle.

    Kenetreks and wet feet

    Take the insoles out and fill them to the top with water and look for leaks. They can develop leaks of all types over a period of time. I had one pair of heavily used MEs and my feet were soaked. Did the soak test and they leaked like a sieve. Lesson learned: each summer do a soak test to 1)...

    Brainstorming our first black bear hunt

    So you currently have little to no confidence in being able to find bear in CO but yet have enough confidence to find a viable bait site in ID? Strongly recommend researching what is actually involved in legally and effectively baiting for bear. Comes down to where and how you want to hunt...

    Trekking poles again.

    I have Leki (carbon), Black Diamond (aluminum), and CamoFire (Aluminum). I'll use my BD and CF quite often when hunting in AZ (all species in all terrain), Mexico (Coues), and almost anywhere else without batting an eye lash. The models I have are collapsible. The fit/finish and quality are...

    Does the ice water slush at the bottom of the cooler really matter?

    Am curious if those folks that feel it is a great idea to soak wild game for days on end in ice water, do they also do the same thing with their domestic meat such as beef, pork, turkey, chicken, catfish, etc? Takes zero effort to remove a drain plug, use plastic bottles with frozen tap water...

    Older hunters showing up

    What was the cost of the replacement pack to shave the 5 pounds? And if someone were to offer that much money to you to carry 5 pounds over a single hunt, would you?

    17 HMR vs 223 as a trainer

    It really depends on your training goals. All options are 100% viable if working on fundamentals is your primary driver. While all can work for doing "wind" work, the 223 takes the cake as it allows you to work your wind calls further out and still get a positive reaction on a hit. 22 LR: Great...

    Which Bino size do you Prefer?

    No single optic excels at all things. You are going to compromise. Since you hunt deer in the NE, the 12s are overkill so take them off the table. That leaves 10s from your list. I personally have never been in a hunting situation with my SLC 10x42s that a pair of 10x50s would have been better...

    Moving away from First Lite

    All of FL's suppliers and transporters, including all of the companies that produce products or offers services, that directly and/or indirectly allow FL to make product are allowed to be "greedy". I have not seen WKR complaints on that front. All of those workers are perfectly fine being as...
