    Anyone familiar with hunting public in Mississippi willing to share some info via PM?

    You can PM me. I am outside of the Jackson area and can help navigate it. I don't hunt much public anymore, but know enough from when I used to. You're too late for the draw hunts, but basically some of the state run WMA's and the fed's NWR's have draw hunt periods and the rest of the year is...

    Meateater gone free agent on optics?

    All the youtubers and popular hunting personalities sell out to the highest dollar. It's the name of the game. Duck Commander and the Robertsons have flopped from Mossberg to Browning to Benelli. Look at the recent shifts from OnX to Go Hunt's mapping system. It's all about the Benjamins.

    Ladder Stand Pick

    Milennium or Ole Man. Basically the same. We use a ton of them at our camp both singles and doubles. I prefer the ones with a flip up seat for bow hunting. The flip up seat is also nice getting into and out of them.

    Helping a pregnant lady kill an elk…

    No help on the elk, but a dude saying the word preggers makes me cringe. Carry on.

    Can't Shoot A Big Bull If You Shoot A Small One First!

    What a stud, congrats! Our similar saying in our part of the whitetail world is "You don't shoot the great ones shooting the good ones"

    Home Equity Loan

    HELOC's have a moving interest rate. A lot of time it is Prime+x%. With the market the way it is today, that number could vary quite a bit.

    Blisters/Hot Spots

    Thanks for that and I plan on leuko taping my balls(haha) of my feet and my pinky toes as a precaution.

    Blisters/Hot Spots

    I have been breaking in 2 pairs of 10.5 boots over the summer. On longer 3.5-5 mi rucks or longer I am getting hot spots on the balls of my feet and pinky toes. One pair more so than the other. I notice one pair is tighter around my toebox than the other and that is the one that gives me the...

    Crispi Nevada, Guide, and Colorado II

    They aren't wide, but they aren't narrow if that makes sense. Kenai's I have had no issues at all. The Colorado's would give me blisters on my pinky toes at 3.5 miles on the dot while breaking them in and rucking.

    Crispi Nevada, Guide, and Colorado II

    I have a pair of Kenai's and Guides(old version). The guides are tighter in the toe box than the Kenai's which are supposed to be based off of the Nevada's but full grain leather. They are currently at the cobbler getting the toe box stretched out some.

    Leopold Scopes CDS

    Why would you marry it to one load? I just use the regular dial turrets that came with mine. What does the CDS do special?

    Southeast Hunters

    Second for having a Thermacell or three laying around as backups. Whoever invented that needs a Nobel Peace Prize.

    Rock river operator ar-10 (what’s it worth)

    I have that same gun in the AR-15. I'd say somewhere between $15-1800.

    Getting out of California

    I am not from California or live out west but I heard a saying one time that stuck: "Don't destroy what you came here to enjoy" I think that applies to a lot of red states taking blue state's refugees.

    New gun to replace my .243?

    Get a cheap handi rifle in .444. It’s like a $200 rifle. We have a “primitive season” where we can use single shot straight walled cartridges in .35 or larger. I love mine. It’s heavy but short which is great for stand hunting, recoil isn’t terrible, and it’s accurate for that round. It’s...

    12ga Barrel Length for Predator Defense

    Get a 24" barrel with some heavy TSS loads. A slug is one projectile. TSS lets you have more shot per shell bit hits way harder than lead. It also likes a more open constriction. Half asleep in the dark I'm not shooting a slug. Apex makes some 2,4 & BB shells. They aren't cheap but blow a...

    Worst Rifles

    A lot of people talk about the tang safety Ruger M77’s. I have one with the zytel skeleton stock in a .270 and it’ll shoot sub moa with just about everything, even core locts. Has killed a pile of animals. But I agree with whoever said it kicks like a mule. The recoil is worse than my...

    Leica vs Sig Rangefinders

    I am going down this road as we speak. I have a crappy vortex that wont range a metal shed at 800 yards. I am curious about the leica2800.com(agree stupid name) and a kestrel elite paring. Anyone else use these two together?

    .270 on whitetail - short range

    Funny this thread popped up. I recently broke my old trusty Ruger M77 zytel skeleton stock back out of the safe and put a new scope on it. Bringing it as a back up on an elk hunt this year and it has been neglected. I forgot how good it shoots just about any bullet you put through it. Sighted...

    Shooting off of Tripod with Pan Head

    I've tried searching but can't find much on it. I am new to the tripod game and where I hunt 90% of my time, I don't need a tripod. However, I am toying with the single use tripod for glassing with a set of 10x42 Swaros as well as shooting off of a tripod. I don't want to sink $1000+ into a...
