    Should you carry a firearm while bowhunting in Wyoming

    The answer is ' yes ', and train with what you carry.

    Is this overkill😂

    My son has this scope on his .308w and it works before and after legal shooting hours no problem.

    Suggestions for a recoil shy rifle

    I thought Cali had a .24" bore limit for game. That's why I made the recommendation I did. If .224" is legal then I'd look at even smaller caliber options as some have mentioned. Bullet choice is the issue due to the ridiculous laws. Not familiar with what's "approved". A .223, 22 Creed, or...

    Suggestions for a recoil shy rifle

    You're going to get a bunch of recommendations based on other people's limited experience, so consider the options carefully. You may find a youth size stock to be more comfortable. I'm not small but one of my boys has a model 7 that is a shorter LOP stock he got when he was young and it's fine...

    Sawyer Squeeze bags

    I quit using the Sawyer altogether. My go to now is a Grayl, and when in an area where water is farther apart, I have a Platapus bladder.

    How old for first knife?

    You know, my youngest has cut himself with every knife he owns! He's 25 now but his last new knife was only a year ago.

    How old for first knife?

    I got my first knife about 5. But times are different, where you live, the people and situations all effect how a kid handles themselves.

    What 10mm ammo for bear defense (griz)

    I think HP have proven to be a poor choice for bigger bears. One of our own here, Mike Adams, suffered an attack while armed with a .44 mag. He literally had the muzzle on the bear when he fired, and I believe he said was using Hornady xtp. The bear survived. Many think the 44 is plenty, but...

    What 10mm ammo for bear defense (griz)

    How did you reach this preference? Multiple charges stopped using different methods? Where have you faced charges at? Genuine questions as this could be potentially life altering advice.

    .223, 22-250, .243 for Yotes

    If you're having trouble with v-maxes, why keep using them? I' ve shot a truckload or three with the .223 and don't remember having any well hit ones run.

    Best truck tool box for the money

    I have not tried them all, but the Weather Gaurd doesn't leak, and can be opened from the ground. Jobox is stout no issues but we did get water in ours sometimes. The other's that I tried I gave away. Currently using another weather gaurd.

    A little lost… career change?

    I believe everyone has a purpose. Some don't look to fulfill it. Some run from it knowing what it is. Some are unsure, and need to spend time getting to know what they are called to do. Each is their own.

    Leupold Mark 4 HD 6-24x52…drop test

    So did you drive off and drop it off the tail gate? According to RS all Leopold products suck.

    A little lost… career change?

    The harsh truth is that working for a company is no different than prostitution. You are paid for your time to do things that they want done.

    .223, 22-250, .243 for Yotes

    I've never had a well hit dog run that far before falling out. Had a few spin donuts. The worst one was Barnes varmint grenades out of a 243. My son hit it three times.

    A little lost… career change?

    I had another thought about this that may provoke some thought. I currently make more than the most senior Engineer at my facility. A large portion of technical jobs, and skilled labor are currently manned by people well over 50. That means there will me a huge hole left when they all retire...

    Soft-sided coolers - recommendations

    We have a couple Rtic soft coolers, and like them well enough. Won't pay for another Yeti anything. They work well, but at the price they want there are others that are as good for less.

    No BS - Best Bino Harness w/ No Magnet

    I just messed around with the new AGC Revus and really liked it but if manets ate an absolute no go then it's not for you.

    A little lost… career change?

    I quit doing a job I enjoyed because it was about to cost me a marriage. My py dropped about 30-35%, being home was good but we had to adjust to the big pay drop. Single is easy to make a change like this, married is harder, family man even harder. HOWEVER, you have to find out why you are...

    .223, 22-250, .243 for Yotes

    I've gotten literally dozens of bang flop kills with the .223, 22-250, 243, 257, and 25-06. Bullet choice mentioned (v-max) should be just fine, though I haven't used them. I have used Speer 52gr hp, 50 & 55gr. Ballistic tips mostly out of the 22 & 24 calibers, and Hornady 75gr hp out of the...
