    Bergara accuracy - scope mounting issues

    I had some accuracy issues with a HMR and wrote a post on it here: https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/bergara-hmr-accuracy-issue-solved.142633/ This won't address your mounting issues, but could help to further improve your accuracy.

    Poachers

    In your experience, were poachers treated like they committed a minor infraction compared to other criminal cases by the courts? I've turned in a couple, and testified against another, and I was appalled by the quantity of crimes that were all pled down to something super minor.

    WTS Christensen Arms Ridgeline 28 Nosler

    Is this the Ridgeline or Ridgline Ti? I thought the non titanium ones were the green stocks. If it is the Ti, MSRP is $2600 and this is a steal. If it is the non titanium one, it is still a smoking price! GLWS

    What to do with old taxidermy (Clearing out house)

    Maybe reach out to Kenny at K&N Consignments in Oklahoma City. I know his store / design team looks for taxidermy occasionally.

    Mule Deer Suggestions CO

    Late season I like to hunt the edges. Edges of cover near does, and edges of legal light. The does seem to stand around most of the morning and get up earlier in the evenings than the big bucks. Also keep an eye out on the little bucks. They often will give up the location of a bigger buck by...

    South Africa

    I've been twice, but hunted with 3 different outfitters. Great advice above. Bring a camera and plenty of memory cards. I went with a super compact camcorder and filmed a ton of stuff from monkeys playing to warthogs tusking at Gemsbok. Even your non-hunting family folks will enjoy the scenery...

    Legal by curl in Alaska?

    I'm only an aspiring sheep hunter, but the one mentioned looks almost identical to the one on page 6 here listed as sub legal. https://www.adfg.alaska.gov/static/hunting/dallsheephunting/pdfs/dall_sheep_hunting_full_curl_identification_guide.pdf

    How to find an Air Taxi on Floats

    I flew with Myles in 2021, and he had mentioned considering hanging up his wings. Any indication how much longer he is going to be in the game?

    First Suppressor - Need Advice

    I got the 46 as my first can, thinking it would do everything. It sort of does. I've had it on everything from a 9mm Glock to a .458 SOCOM. It is a decent can, but big and heavy, and the end caps and such that allstajacket mentioned are also really expensive. I opted to direct thread it on...

    When southerners decide to head to Idaho for a spring bear hunt....

    Remi Warren addressed this on his Live Wild podcast recently. I think it was his 23 ways to win at the tag application game episode. He basically said that the unit matters less than just picking a unit and breaking that unit down for the best spots to find a bear. His point was that bears are...

    Gun Counter Cowboys (kids)

    My thoughts exactly! No cover to hide behind, the stuff is insured, at least wait until you have an advantage of some sort in a fight with multiple bad guys.

    Crossing the Sag on Haul Rd Hunt

    I've only been on it once, late August, and no way I would have tried it in waders. We took oar framed rafts, and still lost a lot of ground before getting across it. Put in well upstream from where your target pull out is on the other side. It was deceptively fast when we were there.

    AR vs Bolt Action for Coyotes?

    I shoot a single shot .22-250 during the day, thermal AR at night.

    Caribou/Moose Float trip ideas

    My first bit of advice would be avoid considering a packraft unless you are a river rat already. A good multi-chamber raft with an oar frame makes this job much easier than a tiny pack raft. I put together a trip with 6 guys for caribou a few years ago. I was one of the 6, not a guide or...

    Gas can rant…

    Those and a battery operated pump off of Amazon have saved me millions of dollars (ok, maybe not millions) in spilled gas.

    Will there ever be primers again?

    LGSs around Northern Colorado seem to get them in waves, but they are about $140 per thousand.

    22LR squirrel/small game scope?

    I put a Leupold VX Freedom 2-7x on my squirrel rifle and really like it.

    6.5 CM for a once in a lifetime Oryx hunt. Give it to me straight

    I've shot one and helped with 3 others. I shot mine from an elevated position with a 7mm-08 (T/C Encore pistol). I got one lung and liver. That thing went FOREVER! I followed up with a double lung/top of the heart shot from my .340 Weatherby with instant results. I shoot a 6.5 CM quite a...

    Who Scouts with a Dog?

    Brought my lab elk scouting a few years back. We packed in and spent a couple of nights. He scared the shit out of me one night, waking me up growling and snarling. When I shut him up, I heard a sizeable herd of elk walking and talking all around my tarp. Too dark to see them and I enjoyed...
