    Inexpensive Rangefinder?

    What's up guys. I need recommendations for a backup rangefinder to go with my backup binos and a pouch to go with it. Anyone got any recommendations for a cheap one that'll get me by? Looked on Amazon and saw some for $50. The TideWE one going for $60ish, but it's a rechargeable battery. I'm...

    Amazon Bino Adapter

    I too have this exact one for my backup Vortex Razor HD 10x42s. For the price of $12-20 you can't beat em. I have the Outdoorsman on my NL Pures but there like 5x as expensive! Have zero issues with either of these two adapters.

    Argentina dove hunting

    Get a shoulder pad! You'll go through 1000s of rounds per day and never want to leave! It's unreal! Bring ear protection, sunglasses, sunscreen and hat & earth tone clothes (camo, greens and browns) and comfortable shoes. Not much too it down there. We went in March and the weather was...

    Goose Frame Blinds - Effective?

    In waterfowl, the name of the game is flexibility. A Frames def work. I've put em in bean fields and shot limit of ducks and geese. Put em in a hedge row to blend in. But I've also had em bounce off of them or not commit....it all depends. I've had the snow cover on em in snow and they...

    waterfowl jacket

    Since your just starting out, my recommendation is that Cabelas 3:1. It's just so versatile. I have zero issues with my old set and my dad and buddy also have. I wear my Dakota Hoodie in 90% of my hunting and its my go-to now that I have it. I don't know who said it's not waterproof, maybe...

    waterfowl jacket

    Yeah, that's like the new Sitka Hudson. Again, I didn't realize you had three jackets in your question. I only saw the two (FL and the Avery). I rewrote my post in support of the Cabelas Northern Flight. I personally have that system as does my dad and a good buddy. It holds up and is legit...

    waterfowl jacket

    First Lite is relatively new to the waterfowl market. Needs a little more umph from Rinella and his MeatEater crew! 🤣🤣 I say that and have all FirstLite as my western clothing kit and I love it. But again that's my western kit. Not my waterfowl kit. Western kits are light and layered and for...

    waterfowl jacket

    First of all--when I worked at one if the big-3 box hunting/fishing stores gun counter. And we we had a new guy come in and say "I want to get into hunting [or fishin] , what do I need?" The guy would always be surprised when I'd say "Sir, guns are cool and all, but I recommend spending $$ on...

    Issue with Christensen arms

    Lots of rifles are picky about ammo, even the higher end ones. Almost all of my rifles shoot different bullets. Like Amos Moses says, find one that you like as construction and try it in different grains. And if that doesn't work, keep trying til you find "the one." Bonded bullets (like...

    Tripod or new binoculars?

    Buy the binos. I know it sounds bad but you can find a cheap tripod on Amazon for $40 that'll allow you to glass as you need. Sounds bad, but my first muley hunt in Wyoming I had a used pair of 1st Gen Swaro ELs I found on Craigslist for $1000 and then used a CHEAP $20 tripod. Ya, it wasn't...

    2024 Wyoming Draw thread

    When are left over tags announced? All that pops up is "Spring Turkey" on the G&F site.... I drew, but surprisingly my buddy and brother didn't draw. We forgot to go in as a group and now I'm left holding the bag. Surprised to say the least as I know guys who have put in for this unit for the...

    Dogs Terrified of New Mounts

    This thread is cracking me up! 🤣🤣 Not just some of the comments, but my dog does the same thing at my parents. I have a bear and antelope on the wall at my place and she doesn't do a thing. My 10pt buck is still at the taxidermist. My dad shot a nice 12pt 164" buck and we put it on the wall...

    Differences between how pellets are made?

    Well I guess that's why I'm asking the Q..... I have buddies that are obsessed with Boss (I have no issues shooting Boss or any other manufacturers load for that matter. ) But they swear that the Boss is better cuz it's perfectly round and thereby produces more consisten patterns..... If shot...

    Differences between how pellets are made?

    Ok--so when I hear of guys $hit talking Hevi-Shot for pellets that aren't perfectly round, they're basically saving/believing Hevi-Shot doesn't quality control their pellets & doesn't pull the "deformed " pellets out? So how is Hex-Shot made like Winchester/Browning?

    Differences between how pellets are made?

    I don't reload, so maybe someone can help me understand. What's the difference between shot pellets. I don't mean the size differences between #7.5 vs BB. I get the sizing perfectly fine. But when I look at different manufacturers loads, I see different prices for the same size, FPS, charge...

    Cranes & Geese Loads

    Depends on what you wanna spend? Geese Steel: BBBs, BBs, 1s, 2s in will kill geese just fine Bismuth: 1s, 2s, 3s & 4s Tungsten: 2s, 3s, 4s I shoot so many geese, I just use cheap steel BBs for my 12ga, but if I'm shooting sub gauges. I like 2 or 3 Bismuth for my 20ga and for my 28ga I like...

    Over Priced Things That Shouldn't Be?

    I get the supply/demand curve, inflation, increasing gas prices and the domino effect it has on prices, I get the politics side of it along with quality ideas..... But to me. Plastic is still plastic....IMO a jug of water and the plastic it uses is still the same plastic of goose decoys. Yes...
