    Spikes and Buttons breeding

    I am NOT a whitetail junky or fanatic. But I do shoot them and hunt them. Wanted to ask a general question. This north Idaho and eastern Washington. I live rural and have 10-15 deer in the yard nightly. We have some funky genetics. Lots of right sides are under developed or melted. And...

    Day Pack Weight- How much is too much?

    @mtwarden so 22lbs is sans rifle and binos? You might have a flyweight Kimber there with a Tasco something on it? So that's 8lbs So 30lbs All Up with Rifle? I am interested in which "day pack" you chose if you have meat hauling capability

    Day Pack Weight- How much is too much?

    Easier to just take a photo laid out than explain. But I am interested in the raw weight of the basics. Rifle/Pack/Spotter/Tripod. The Duplex/Stryker seems like a Pig. But a pretty good number of critters have road of the mountain in that thing. I just don't think there is a better way or...

    Day Pack Weight- How much is too much?

    I am the OP. And not taking it personal....I started the thread. I am frustrated with the weight...as there ARE NO FEARS in that pack. I was running a Tikka RoughTech with Harris bipod. I will bring it into work and weigh it. Wearing a NF NX8. Pack is a Kifaru Duplex Lite with Stryker XL...

    Day Pack Weight- How much is too much?

    I decided to weigh my day pack after an all day ramble last week. I was kinda shocked. For the hunting style I was doing at the time....my day load out was 36.9lbs. That DID NOT INCLUDE my bino harness and binos. That went with me every step, much of it was off trail, no clue on how much...

    Washington Man ONLY gets 4 years for Killing over 100 Eagles

    Question on restitution: I don't think we are allowed name calling here. Can we abbreviate? How does a DeGen pay $777,000 in restitution? Asking seriously what that looks like in real life? They repo your mobile home and your 1998 Tacoma. Your Ruger 10/22 How does one make up the other...

    Load data for 77 TMK in 223

    Months late on this. But that's jam in the Ackley Improved. My data won't relate, but I would invest some time into pursuing this if I were you. Seems XBR can be found online more often than not, and it meters pretty well. I love it. I've streamlined all my powders to just three and buy...

    LH Tikka Rifle Build next step

    RE: Factory plastic stock. To be fair, I do generally sand out the barrel channel a touch to make certain we have a nice and generous float

    LH Tikka Rifle Build next step

    @KWheeler No pissing match. I've tinkered and dumped a ton into tweaking stuff. Simply relaying that you wind up right back at zero. I have a 24yo son that gets GoogleEyes at all kinda shit. Then gets disappointed. You are correct about recoil mitigation. And a different stock may help...

    Kent Bismuth issue - always verify what you’re purchasing.

    I bought the exact same shells (I think). And I patterned a few through my O/U and counted pellets. I had 197 in a 30" circle at 40 yards...so I had at LEAST that many in my shell. Rather certain this is the EXACT same ammo you bough. 2 3/4 #5s Bismuth. Had several in the 187 pellet count...

    LH Tikka Rifle Build next step

    Don't take this schitty...I can see you are new here. But I also own a lefty Tikka in 7mm Rem Mag. Topped with a reliable tracking Bushnell Elite.....it's been capable of very ethical one shot kills past 500 yards and is a pretty light weigh killer right from the factory. I have purchased the...

    WTB Kifaru 14'r or Taryall

    Looking for a stand alone Day pack for use without a belt. I already have a 14'r. Love it. Looking for a second or spare. Taryall in consideration also....possibly even more than 14'r. Anyone out there with something in the gear room or storage collecting dust? Might be a color snob, but...
