    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    Has anyone here played around with cutting edge in the 6.5? Something like the Rifle Maximus or the Lazer? With the lower weights, probably running it faster? In an ideal world I'd run copper, but not if it's compromising performance...

    WTB Ghostbear ripped me off!

    The problem with PayPal for sellers (and every other legit payment processor designed for this) is the Tax Reporting thing. If I sell a whole bunch of stuff in a year, even if I'm not making money on it and don't have to pay taxes, it still gets reported to the IRS and even when I'm...

    Truck Camping setups

    I posted this in another thread, but I am seriously liking the look of this setup on a full size. The cool part is the RTT is accessible from inside, and the bed folds back to just give you room to stand up. In the market for a new truck next year or the year after. Hmmmm...

    If you could go back and do your set up again.....

    I've seen too many QAD (and ripcord) failures. Won't use them. Hamskea for me, movement and capture as compared to the narrower QAD design is a non-issue for me and I've used it everywhere from tree stands, to thick brush, to army crawling through sage brush. I would also consider AAE but I...

    Monos vs. Lead. Which do you choose and why?

    I'm not going to get into the back and forth name calling and arguing, and I haven't read the whole thread, but here's my position. I would love to stop using lead across the board. We'd be better off not ingesting any of it from a health perspective, even when I'm not worried at all about...

    Shotgun / Rifle Suggestions (Whitetail Hunting)

    I'm going to echo some of what's been said above - It really depends if you want a dedicated deer gun, or an all around shotgun. The Savage 220 is probably one of the best, if not the best, off the shelf deer shotguns. But after adding rings, scope, ammo, it's not the cheapest. But, if...

    Are you taking a trailer?

    I've been on some roads and areas where I've had to back out or turn around. And some areas where I couldn't bring a trailer. Can be a disadvantage in some situations, my preference is a full size pickup, add a roof box, roof rack, Pakmule hitch carrier, higher topper / wedge camper if you...

    We are under attack!

    I'm getting it too. And on a computer that gets regular virus / spamware scans. It's Just Rokslide too.

    Bumper Pull Trailer

    Not what you asked, but I'm smitten with these. https://www.alu-cab.com/product/the-alu-cabin/ Heated, place to sleep, really fast to set up and tear down, no worries about hauling a trailer and getting stuck in tight spots or needing to back up. Could sit inside in the heat and cook if it's...

    Solomon Quest Alternative

    I like the Crispi Thor II. Better than the original Thor which was too soft IMO, and the early ones didn't have the same lacing pattern to lock in the ankle well. Mine were new in 2021, saw a bunch of use last year, bit didn't see a ton of use this year so can't really tell you about...

    Recommend a Decent MTN Bike

    Depends what your definition of "Won't break the bank" is... Mountain Bikes are like guns, you have entry level stuff under $1K, up to premium stuff approaching $15K. If it's really just a "See if you're into it" type of thing, you can go cheap. If you want something that'll last a little...

    Crispi WIld Rocks or Kenetrek Mountain Extreme?

    My Wild Rock GTX Plus may be the best boot I've ever owned. Love them. Never tried Kenetrek, but really have no reason to yet.

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    Anyone have any opinions on the 143 ELD-X out of a 6.5 PRC? Looks like MV could end up around 3000 fps with handloads? Good choice for point blank out to 500-700 yards for everything from Antelope, Deer, up through Elk? Just picked one up, never hunted with a 6.5 before although I do have a...

    Your ideal glass setup

    For me in order of importance: Swaro NL Pure 10x42 plus pan head and tripod. Good Rifle Scopes - Moving to Nightforce for everything that dials, Swaro for everything that doesn't Good Rangefinder - Currently Run Sig Kilo 2400 ABS for rifle and Leupold Fulldraw 4 for Archery, May Move to just...

    Most Underrated or Undervalued Truck/SUV?

    If an SUV is your thing - Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. Lacks in space, much more capable than any pickup I've had stock, and plenty luxurious in side if you spend a lot of time in it. Still feel the need to go back to a pickup though. Some pics from this year, but I've had it in some pretty...

    Duck Hunting Jacket

    I'm 5'11 175 and I use the Large Delta Wading Jacket here. I can layer my LPP underneath if I need to. I do prefer the large Jetstream too though so I have room to layer underneath - I'm reasonably broad shoulders / narrow waist for height / weight.

    Sight extended or retracted?

    Make sure to try the rest position too if your bow allows it - it has a much bigger impact than the sight bar. Bigger change in tune for a smaller movement, and I like to have flexibility of where the sight ends up for peep alignment, sight tape, etc.

    Pork Fat for Burger

    I'm almost wondering what everyone who's had issues with pork fat is doing differently than I am. Literally not one issue ever even with stuff 2-3 years in the freezer. I have always gone to a good butcher, bought it fresh, and use it relatively quickly before getting everything in the deep...
