    Bourbon

    I went looking for the Jimmy Russell 70th only to find out its going to be super allocated here. Yet another I probably won't get to taste. Left with a Smokewagon toasted.

    Heated vest experience?

    I bought my wife the Ororo vest with a couple batteries and she uses it a lot. However, for me I walk a long way in then sit. IMO, The extra battery weight isn't ideal, and you're better off not relying on batteries to keep warm. I'm currently layering a puffy vest over wool base, and have outer...

    What kind of knife is this?

    That looks like a Hmong blade. Probably an acquisition or gift from Vietnam.

    Gun for Elk Hunting in Thick Timber

    Don't know how much you've handled an AR10 but for me it felt awkward. I'm very used to the small frame AR and it was like holding a fat girl in Jr high gym class. I built one thinking it would be just the ticket. I used it one season, for one deer, and sold it. I decided to drop the first one i...

    Good work gloves???

    Same goes for handling shingles. I'll ask my boy if he ever found a glove that lasted. ( ex roofer)

    .25 Cal (Quarter Bore) / Big Game Success - 25 Creed, 25-284, 25-06, 25 PRC, 25 SAUM

    IMHO the 115gr BT works well. As do many others at the ranges I've used them at. The velocity at impact has everything to do with how bullets work, so limit your range to the designed minimum upset velocity. If you're rebarreling why not pick a faster twist so when heavier factory ammo is...

    Help choosing camouflage!!

    You're all over the place with your questions. For warm weather early season I use a Orvis pant that's very lightweight, solid green or SKREE hardscrabble pants. I have different shirts but one of my favorite is a lightweight Moreno wool long sleeve from First lite.. but cold is entirely...

    Dog wont eat dry food well

    I've tried lots of different foods, but if the dog thinks the food made him sick it's not going to be excited to go back for more. I now shop by protein content, and avoid corn completely. Even foods with grain of any kind is harder for them to digest. We're buying stuff like Blue Buffalo...

    Budget FFP scopes

    I've heard good things about the Arken EP5, but have not used it myself. The Maven rs1.2 will be my next purchase. Or I'll wait for another bargain on a PM II or a Steiner and move some around.

    Gun for Elk Hunting in Thick Timber

    I've mostly used one of two, both fud guns by today's popular vote. My up close has been a model 600 in .308, 180gr rn, fixed 2.5x and now a LPVO 1-5x or 1-8x red center dot would be my choice. The short barrel is hard on the hearing, but handy as can be. The other, for areas where it's more...

    No BS - Best Bino Harness w/ No Magnet

    If the flex had been an option I would have gotten it. Really like the Ravus, but could've done without the magnets.

    Why are bullets frequently found just under the hide on the opposite side?

    They don't have much surface area, so the small surface area yields higher pressure on that surface vs a well expanded mushroom spreading it over a larger area. I've seen tiny exit wounds from the Barnes I have used. Don't use them much anymore.

    Favorite 243 load

    This is the only one that I chose a Barnes tsx for. I believe I was using IMR 4350, under the 85gr. It flat worked for both of the boys Remingtons
