    PSA for late season hunters.

    Never heard of such. Been in negative temps a fair bit, some as low as -40. Other than breathing slow and shallow cause that’s what your body tells you to do, we just acted normal and bundled up to minimize exposed skin. Folks coach you to remember to drink water, but not about breathing...

    How To Effectively Compare Binoculars?

    Once into the top tier optical comparison is less important to me. Yeah they have differences, but they are all good. It’s bino shape, weight, bridge stiffness, eye cup function, locking diopter, focus wheel tension and gear ratio(?), ect… It’s all the stuff they don’t really talk about in...

    2024 Idaho General Draw! 10 days until the MADNESS!

    At 2:15 Lolo A and B still had 15 or so tags each. Snake river A, Boise river A, and Selway A had 1 or 2 each at that time as well. The guy who had 44k and said nothing was left is not correct. I was logging in at 2pm as 80k+ and only taking 30 seconds of waiting to get in. Deer was sold out...

    Crazy Used ATV Prices-Is This Regional or Everywhere?

    What brand/model quad are you looking for? Banshee’s I believe will always command a high price, not familiar with the other popular quads, maybe Honda TRX?

    52 cal Knight Muzzleloader

    When buying a muzzleloader stainless barrels are preferred. They are a little less prone to corrosion. If you buy used make sure to inspect the bore carefully. If it’s been fired and not cleaned soon after they will commonly be corroded. Corrosion around the breach where the cap goes off is...

    2024 Idaho General Draw! 10 days until the MADNESS!

    There are still elk tags now, and 43k would have got you in before noon. There were deer tags then, but not now.

    2024 Idaho General Draw! 10 days until the MADNESS!

    It was smooth for the folks I know of this year. No crashes, no long waits, we didn’t get pick of the litter, but we got tags to hunt. I don’t know that it’s any worse or any better than any other states tag allocation system.

    Shooting an animal across state lines?

    I would think there would be issues for the guide even if just glassing while actively hunting with a client. Is that giude licensed/insured in the other state? I think transiting another area would be ok, but actively hunting from another area seems questionable.

    Found rifle

    I’m aware of a few events where folks leaned their rifle up on a tree, fence, the bumper, ect.., Then stood around talking and then loaded up and drove away. In a few cases they drove back and the gun was still there.

    52 cal Knight Muzzleloader

    I expect 50 cal is the better choice. 54 is meaningful with a round ball. A 50 round ball is ~175 grains and a 54 is ~225. That’s a significant difference. 52 is just a small step up. But when shooting conicals a 50 can shoot 400+ grains if one desires. And if shooting sabots the bullets...

    Couple things to keep in mind here. How you take what someone says has far more to do with what’s going on in your head than what’s going on in theirs. And, I never questioned the validity of what you chose to do. That’s your deal, I’m not eating your food. I was just taking the thought...

    If all tables, grinders, knives, ect…. are considered to have transferable prions if having been exposed to a CWD positive animal. And many folks who travel from state to state hunting take the meat to butcher shops. The same butcher shops who process farm meat, smoke thanksgiving turkeys, make...

    Selling on Gunbroker

    I’ve bought several items on Gunbroker and I don’t recall filling out anything post sale or post receiving a firearm, other than maybe feedback of the seller. I don’t see anything in the how to buy section talking about filling out anything upon receipt either.

    Longest Sniper Shot Record Broken?

    I wonder about things. When you see the folks shooting 2 miles they have lots of cant in their optic mounting system and then have apparatus mounted on the scope objective that adds offset optically some how. They are set up for hundreds of Mills/Moa correction to shoot 2 miles. And still they...

    Silicone impregnated gun sock

    I use the rechargeable desiccant plastic boxes in my safe. The desiccant buckets in my gun room, and WD40 specialist corrosion inhibitor on my guns while being stored. I wipe them down with it and then foam tbe bores with it. I don’t use socks, but if I did I think a plain fabric one would...

    Terminal performance: 69tmk vs 77tmk?

    Here is a link to a video with similar(?) size bullets and a more extreme RPM difference that demonstrates little to no difference. Small sample size of course. May well be a non factor.
