    Dial vs BDC Reticle vs Holdover

    Folks making things way too complicated... The time available to get a high probability shot off with or without having to range the target should typically dictate the method used. Take the same animal 325 yards away and a WKR-worthy B&C animal is about go to bye bye for good... The...

    How old was your bear?

    Always take the numbers with a grain of salt. How they come up with the age makes sense when explained by the biologists, but that is sometimes hard to align with reality. My two biggest boars were both about 350 pounds live weight. One bear had a 19.5" skull and G&F said it was 3 years old...

    Cliffed Out...Sheep Hunters Rescued

    Lots of infallible individuals on this site and it is extremely awe inspiring to be in the presence of so many that have never made a less than desirable choice in their lives let alone while hunting.

    Swarovski NL pure with outdoorsman’s stud

    But the WKR moniker commands others bow down and do as they are told.

    Anyone used Kenton Custom Turrets?

    Custom turrets, cheat sheets, stickers, etc can be viable solutions if 1) you leave the RS realm, 2) you do you proper due diligence on your ballistics and 3) acknowledge their limitations. Most people outside of the RS world hunt the same general area around the same time of year in around the...

    Trijicon Tenmile 3-18x44mm Field Eval Q&A

    May need to start incorporating this into the RS drop test process. Spoiler: It lost zero. https://www.trijicon.com/community/post/drop-tested-at-50-mph

    Kenetrek Slide Rock Light Hiker/ Scarpa Ribelle Lite

    Hard Scrabble is just a shorter Mountain Extreme in looks and feel (at least on the ones I own).

    A or B...which one, and why

    A: Less likely to break overall but does not compact as much. B: Packs up nice and compact but can break if not careful. My Lekis (option A) have been bulletproof. My Black Diamond FLZs (option B) one of them broke when I pulled up a bit too much to tighten everything. So now I just use...

    UPS Strike

    I truly appreciate you looking out for my financial well being. But I'll make do with my current job situation being a greedy business owner. My lowest paid employee makes more than the average UPS driver so I must be doing something wrong. After all, all business owners are greedy and go out of...

    UPS Strike

    No point in going to college. Go do low skill delivery work and get a total compensation package of $170K at UPS. Interesting, not really, that a foreign news source will provide information that the US media did not. One example includes prior to the deal the average salary was $95K plus...

    Alaska trip Advice - sleeping bag

    If that's the case then why aren't more WKRs sporting puffies like the one below? No such thing as overkill, right?

    Alaska trip Advice - sleeping bag

    The Puma may be overkill. Combine the MF Antelope with a true high R value pad (ex: X Therm) and you should be good to go. Worst case is you can wear some clothes, including puffies, to bed if you need more warmth. I've not taken my MS Antelope below its rating but I have taken my MegaLite to...

    Vortex Vipers vs. Razor HD

    Checking optics out in a store parking lot at dusk is not going to demonstrate a key difference with more expensive glass: the ability to stay in them longer. The longer you stay in your glass the more game you will likely find. As someone that has glassed for Coues with Vipers, they suck...

    New to the mule deer world

    Figure out what type of environment you want to hunt them in and go from there. Do you want to hunt them on rolling prairie? Do you want to hunt them in the desert? Do you want to hunt them in mountains? Pros and Cons for all but go with whatever interests you the most. Folks on this site tend...
