I’ve always owned a few Leupolds. I’ve got an older VX-2 on my Savage 220 and it has shot great for 12 years. In recent years all my scopes have been higher end, but I’ve got two muzzleloaders that wear newer Leupolds. This weekend is muzzleloader season and I’m taking my daughter to a friend’s...
I bought both my kids the Kuiu Women's Pro 2300. They're still on sale for 57% off. They're legit. And there's no marking on them that make them a male or female leaning pack. They're just shorter. They have the larger bag sizes on deep discount also.
I've done a ton of road trips with no trailer, open trailer, and enclosed. It depends on where I'm going, but if I can take no trailer that is my choice. Most of the units we hunt can be hunted with a truck and don't need a 4-wheeler. There's always a few spots I wish I had one, but the guys...
I think I'm on my 5th straight set of Firestone Destinations AT2s. I get the P rated tire rather than the LT. Better road ride that way. I drive a lot of road miles on my Chevy 1500 but have also taken those tires offroad many many times and don't baby them. They're a good everyday tire that...
They group awesome out of both my CVA and the Tikka. 1” or better in both guns.
I saw 5 deer killed during our first gun season two weeks ago with the Bear Creek stuff. All died clean and quick. I think the furthest one ran was 50 yards. I know at least 3 were pass throughs. My daughter shot a...
I know what you're saying. It's easy to look back and punish myself for stupid decisions, but at some point you gotta draw the line. I've accumulated enough regret for a lifetime, so at this point I view the "reward" as just a positive new reality that's now available.
27 months have come and gone. I may have mentioned it earlier in the thread, but shortly after I quit drinking I booked a Dall sheep hunt. It was something I never thought I'd do due to cost. But it was 2+ years in the future and I started taking the money I spent on alcohol and putting it...
I've been using factory 143 ELD-X in my 6.5CM the past two seasons. That gun and bullet has taken 5 antelope, an Aoudad, 7 hogs, a cow elk, and a bull elk in that time. Distances ranging from 40 yards to 450. All those animals ended up very dead very fast.
The longest shot was my bull at 450...
I'll just speak from my experience. I started my two kids at around 8 years old, they're 11 and 13 now. We have early youth firearm deer season here in Illinois. It's a great deal since weather is generally mild. It started with low recoil guns in blinds with snacks and things. Even since...
