Opening day Wyoming buck. I’ve been hunting the same area every year since I was legal to and it’s awful fun coming home to watch the deer grow older over the years. Spotted this guy 3 days before the season started traveling to a very sneakily covered day bed. He proceded to stay sheltered...
If you are being honest about your fitness and suffering capacity you will find a good buck and kill it. The east slope actually got enough sun and wind to blow a lot of ridge tops off and get many animals feed. We did not walk away unscathed but it certainly was much better than most of the...
I prefer consistency (read accuracy) to a little extra velocity at long ranges. My CFE loads can range to more than 100fps of variation between freezing and september/early october peak temps. They shoot well but the variability is not worth the trouble for long range. For shooting inside 2-300...
I have limited experience with ultralight cots but they are absolutely incredible in hot weather. If you are a hot sleeper who suffers during the summer and early fall they are worth trying in my opinion.
Here’s my bushpig: kimber MA in 308 cut to 16” with an ultra 7 and 6x42 leupold wide duplex. Will shoot this afternoon. Have a bunch of velocity data with factory and handloaded 130ttsx, 175gr terminal ascent and SMKs, 150 and 180gr Game kings from the 22” barrel pre cut and will share what I...
I have had a gobox for 3 years as my camp kitchen, I am very satisfied. I have used it very hard for truck and river camping and it has held up great. I think for the size it would be hard to find a dry box this good. I don't think I'd use it for just upland gear but if you have the cash you...
I prefer the availability of the 308 even as a reloader. The 7mm is a superior cartridge but marginally so. At conventional hunting ranges no game is going to know the difference. Jerking off about performance in a short action is just that; jerking off. If you want a hammer get a long action...
