    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Another data point, results are not surprising after the hundreds of photos but, holy crap Batman. This was nasty, Decent 8 point for my area, dressed weight was 175 pounds. Rifle is a t3x lite with a 16” factory barrel, AB A-10 .30 cal suppressor, Trijicon Huron in UM Tikka rings. Shooting...

    338 ARC thoughts?

    If I felt like peeing money away, or hit the powerball, I’d get into one. I have .30 cal cans, I have zero rifles larger than .30 cal. Buying a .338 that is functionally useless without a suppressor (that I wouldn’t want to buy for this *one* application) would be a silly move when my 300blk...

    Recipes for Whitetail burger

    I grind mine straight (dont mix anything with it) we eat a couple pounds a week between tacos, nachos, chili, shepherds pie, pasta etc.

    Let’s talk carbon monoxide poisoning

    Exactly. Most purpose built heating units (like the Mr. buddy) have a “low oxygen shutoff” and are designed to shut themselves off if oxygen gets to a certain level where combustion producing CO might start to be a concern. But I wouldn’t trust that as far as I could throw one.

    Let’s talk carbon monoxide poisoning

    Well, “kinda”. I vaguely remember from AP chemistry way too long ago, combustion reactions like burning diesel, propane, etc, very simplified essentially create either CO2 and water vapor, or CO and water vapor. CO2 and water vapor is produced by perfect/complete combustion where the carbon...

    Best 308 Bullet

    I like the 150 NBT. But there’s nothing wrong with the bullets you’re shooting and the distance you’re shooting them at. If you lost the deer, it was almost definitely because you didn’t shoot it in the lungs. 99.99% of the time if you put that bullet from 100 yards at 308 velocities in front...

    Skull turns dark/ black euro mount issue

    Not exactly apples to apples. The skull is “clean” already, the meat, fat, sinew, brain matter, grease, etc has been removed with the boiling, dish soap, pressure washer etc.You can then either bleach it, paint it, or leave it natural if you want. I’m not saying skip steps 1-6 and paint a...

    Trail Access Restrictions - No UTVs = No Horses

    It’s a stupid rule in your opinion. You shared your opinion, almost everyone else that commented simply shared theirs and a little bit of the “why”. It just so happens that most of the people that weighed in disagreed with you, including myself. Some were residents, some were nonresidents, some...

    Skull turns dark/ black euro mount issue

    “Taxidermists hate this one simple trick” 🤣.

    Skull turns dark/ black euro mount issue

    Y’all are going to hang me for this one… Instead of whitening the skull, just mask off the antlers and spray paint the skull white. That way you don’t have to worry about what color it turns. Works like a dream.

    Trail Access Restrictions - No UTVs = No Horses

    Don’t even get me started on those sniper wannabes at the range every weekend shooting their rifle when I’m at the golf course. It would be a lot more fair if you couldn’t legally shoot animals past 250 yards. /s

    Trail Access Restrictions - No UTVs = No Horses

    I wish there were *more* restrictions on ATV’s and UTV’s and I haven’t been on a horse since I broke my arm (for the second time) on dads barrel racing horse I wasn’t supposed to be riding in the fourth grade. Keep wild places wild. There is nothing more out of place and disheartening than...

    What happened to Mono bullets

    Monos are “fine” and are definitely no worse then they were 10 or 15 years ago when the marketing hype on the outdoors channel was in full swing. They work. I use them in certain applications. Up close? Who cares. They kill stuff and don’t make a mess. A lot of the popularity of products comes...

    Why are you shooting PRC, AI, creedmoor, or WSM?

    This question would definitely be answered differently (or thought about differently) depending on if you are stuck using factory ammo, or if you roll your own. If you reload, they’re “all pretty much the same”. As long as you can find/make brass (by using other, maybe easier to get...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    I have one on the way to test. For $40, it’s worth the money to find out personally. FWIW I saw some pretty good reviews in regards in the 24hourcampfire thread. I sent him an email this past Sunday, paid him, and my kit was in the mail Monday morning. If they work and are reliable, it’s a...

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    I don’t think anyone is truly opposed to the idea, I just think there is a little bit of a disconnect on what constitutes a failure, and how one should go about proving it. The more wild and/or unlikely a claim is, the more evidence needed to prove it. If I told you I bang-flopped a whitetail...

    Drawing bow back with drop away (in stand)

    Maybe it’s an older style rest or there’s something wrong with it but I know for certain the last few QAD’s I had had will 100% stay up if you go to full draw and slowly let down. Maybe you are letting down too fast, maybe there’s something mechanically wrong with the rest, maybe it was never...

    Two parter, Browning X Bolt and Round Choice

    I’ll 2nd the surprising recoil of the 6.8 western. My dad has one in a light X bolt that I loaded some 145 ELD’s around 3100 FPS for with H1000. It was alright with the can, shootable but not necessarily “pleasant”, but without was easily 30-06 or similar recoil. Same with the little bit of...
