    An interesting article on what will be a very hard fight

    "Tension between the two camps was palpable at the Colville meeting, says Commissioner Kim Thorburn, a retired public-health physician from Spokane and self-described “non-hunting hippie from San Francisco.” Thats the issue. California nut jobs moving out of the ruins they created on the left...

    Spotting Scope Questions from a Newbie

    10x42’s on a decent tripod. I got a slik from cameraland and a azaik adapter. I could see WAY further than I wanted to walk. I was very impressed with the setup. Granted they are swaro 10x42’s, I left them in my chest harness with the adapter on the barrel of the binos and I unclipped them...

    Hunting Property Lines

    Everyone around there probably knows he's an asshole and won't take his side. GW sure didn't seem to listen to him over the kids. Young men were more than patient when getting yelled at. If the guy was really going to hunt there he should have gotten up earlier and been at the spot on his...

    New 7mm PRC

    Popular or talked about? I will make a bet if we could provide the data, that there are more animals killed(or carried in the woods) this year with a .300wm or .270 than any of the new fancy Hornady calibers. Wounded may be a different story. (I kid...sort of). Don't mistake popular for buzz.

    Thinnest Merino Socks (Crispi Shrinkage)

    Smartwool Hike Light. They have a decent cushion on the bottom and very thin on the tops. I wear them with a pair of dress boots that are a little tight.

    Mystery Ranch Terraframe 50 VS Pintler

    You can always get the day pack lid from MR and put on top of your Pintler. That is what I have for a day pack or a couple days in milder weather. You can load the lid and also use it as a compression lid to fit stuff under.

    Federal Ammo Question

    Yeah chrono it. Muzzle velocity is dependent on a lot of data. Temp, elevation, etc. once you true that, you can then make changes. O shoot their 185 Bergers and one lot number was 2850 fps and the current lot number I am shooting is 3085. Don’t do the CDS dial as temp, barometric pressure...

    Worst Deering Hunting Advice?

    The colder and nastier the weather, the more deer movement you'll see. I grew up in the SE and the old timers would always be excited when a front was blowing in and it was cold, wet, windy and overcast. Fast forward to later in life and have learned they hunker down too and prefer clear...

    Alaskan Snow Crab Season Canceled

    Same thing is happening in Louisianna with the menhaden boats destroying the redfish and speckled trout fishery. They rape and pillage right off the beach and leave behind a floating trail of bycatch and then claim they don't do any harm. They are in the pockets of the politicians and it's...

    Looking for some help with getting into shape for next year

    I was in a similar situation as you. 5' 11" 260lbs early part of this year. I leave to go to NM next Wednesday. Today I weighed in at 218. I had ulnar nerve surgery on my left elbow in June. I was back at the office the next day. I was back working out in two weeks. I still have some...

    Nightforce NX8 vs ATCAR vs Swaro X5

    I had a scope end up not tracking. I'm 2 weeks from a hunt. I'm not here to talk about that. I went looking and I am torn between a NF NX8 2.5-20, NF ATACR 4-16 and a Swaro X5 3-18. Where we whitetail hunt back home, I need good low light transmission for that last 15 minutes. I have read...

    Backcountry Rifle Scope

    No, I was cooling between shots and when I cooled it all the way back down after dialing, it shot 1" hgh 1" right of the previous zero. And it wasn't that warm, I was just eliminating variables.

    Backcountry Rifle Scope

    I'll sacrifice a few ounces for reliability and repeatability. I am done. Mentally I can't go off second guessing if my scope is off.

    Backcountry Rifle Scope

    I used to be a Leupold gold ring fan, until today. I used to scoff at the people claiming Leupolds don't track correctly and think it's just people on the internet talking trash. I'm leaving for an elk hunt on the 19th. Few weeks ago I went to true my zero and put my data into my kestrel. I...

    taxidermy bills

    I guess no one here has priced good full body mounts for a turkey. They are literal works of art, but damn they are high.

    Home/Auto Insurance recommendations

    We get involved in claims a lot. Reason being, we deal with insurance "speak" daily while my customers don't. Most of the times when there is a claims issue, it's miscommunication more than anything. We like to stay involved and stop an issue before it starts.

    Home/Auto Insurance recommendations

    Independent agent here. Home and auto rates are going up across the board. Reason being large loss events and the loss ratios on auto's is over 100% coupled with rising costs of everything. It may not be you, but it's the trend. The companies don't rate everyone separately, but they try to...
