    Help with Hornady Resizing Bushings

    After loading one up id measure the neck then get a die that gives you .005 and another that gives you .003 then test and see which works best. Try to pull the bullet out with your fingers and remeasure. If you can pull it out it may wiggle loose over time. Also using a good mandrel in my...

    Lets talk batteries

    I buy 7-9ah sla batteries and make a wire that goes to a plug. This plugs into the port on the tactacam 2.0 i have. Seems to work great when i hunt on my own land. If a battery dies i just recharge it and its good again for a long time. Over the longer run this is the cheapeast option ive...

    Zero trim, minimally processed ,moldy dear meat after thaw in the fridge - best meat I ever ate

    Normally when i do my deer its 1-5 days after i shoot it. Just depends on when i feel like cutting it up. When doing burger i barely cut sinew off anymore. A sharp grinder doesnt care. Hell, sometimes there will be hair in the burger. I stopped overthinking the processing and worrying about...

    What is your typical shot distance for small game?

    When i want rabbit stew i step on the front porch and whack one at 10 yards in the yard. Fluffy escaping really was a boon for the rabbit population around here..win.. win

    ND Spot and Stalk Archery Whitetail

    I lived in ND for a while and thought "o man, its flat, this will be cake." Yeah im an idiot. Do you know how tall the grasses are there.. the deer can be like bye felicia at will. Story time: One time i pulled up to the edge of a field to hunt some pheasant with my lab. When i got the dog...

    IF you want to know everything...

    Op needs to read up on bullet expansion fps and learn what a ballistic calculator can provide in their life. Trusting an arbitrary fps number is good for any and everything without following up is the most fudd thing ive read today.

    Why I won’t buy a Tikka

    You know why i would buy another tikka action. The bolt smoothness. Was hunting a lease deer spot for does. I was sitting against a tree. 2 does walked out at 220ish yards. Shot the first, cycled, shot the second. First didnt flop, resighted on the first shot it again on the run. They both...

    What cartridge should I use?

    Whatever feels the best when you shoot it. And shoots the best for you. 22cm and 6 cm are a wash. Id pick whatever rifle i can pick up and shoot the best/easiest. If you still dont know. Pick the one that has been the longest since its killed an animal. If thats a wash pick the one with the...

    My elk bowhunting soapbox.

    I shoot ever day in august from 60 to 80 yards, once a week out to a 100. Never taken the quiver off. Always wearing a bino harness and half the time with my full pack on, half the time without. Maybe OP isnt a great shot. When i am cinched up on the waist belt i feel like it helps stabilize...

    Do you feel the edge?

    Everyone here hates everyone just because. I go into the store and people are trash talking each other only to act like friends when they see each other. But I'm not sure who they hate more, people they have known forever or outsiders. It's just a mix of people seeing how they can be...

    Budget Trail Cameras that work

    I bought a couple bushnell core 20 a cpl years ago. They couldnt detect a deer/person outside of 20 ft 3/4 of the time... If i slow walked and waved my arms, sure... But, it i just walked past or had my dog walk past it at 30ft it was useless. They listed the " detection" range as flash range...

    Budget Trail Cameras that work

    Normally i buy 3-4 trail cams at a time. For a while i was only buying cheap ones. The cheaper the better, was my motto. Then I started researching game cameras and learned about trigger time, trigger distances and some other camera features. Those 2 metrics alone started my push towards better...

    Motorola Defy Satellite Link

    Musk was saying the other day that his current sat-to-cell operations can send emergency messages to any phone...So this means if att and verizon wanted to play ball musk could have all cell signal routed through his sats... but i doubt that will ever happen. It will be nice to see how the...

    Why you should not take equity out or dump your 401 K to take super expensive hunts.

    Yeah.... We didnt buy into the 401k investment BS. Just getting into our 40s and we own eveything outright. If we want something we just spend our savings and enjoy that money while were alive. Want a new truck. Just pay cash. Want a winter house, just save up a couple years and buy one. Want a...
