    Jobs / employment

    Corporate security would be a sweet gig. A professor of mine was the retired head of security for a large farm implement company (probably the first one you think of). He started at mid level management over an in house security team at a plant but then moved to the corporate office. There, he...

    Jobs / employment

    Davenport, Iowa PD is hiring. Iowa isn't as cool as the western states but there is good white tail hunting here and your travel time for trips out west will be half what it was from New york haha. Lower cost of living too.

    Range finder struggling

    I have a Cabela's Intesity 1600 rangefinder that seemed to be good quality and has a pretty long range for the money but it gave me some issues in Wyoming this year. I was trying to range a group of antelope bedded on a slope. I couldn't get a range to save my life. I was able to get a range on...

    South Dakota Success

    Great photos. Was this with an outfitter or public land? I have my first bird dog this season but have struggled getting on many birds here in eastern Iowa. I'm considering a trip to SD next season for a public land hunt.

    .277 150gr Accubond Long Range in a 1:10?

    If he had 170s stabilize in his gun and his buddies, I think the 150s should be fine then. Thanks for the link, that was interesting.

    Vaccine?

    I will probably be forced to as a "front line worker" but otherwise wouldn't. I've had it and if I had never heard of covid I would only have taken one day off work due to a slight fever and headache. It's also not my job to ensure other's health.

    Vaccine?

    The antibodies your body makes for the real deal only last 3 months apparently, but they're telling us the antibodies your body makes for the dead virus in the vaccine are more effective? Doesn't make sense to me.

    Whats your shortest kill to date?

    My closest kill is a rabbit nearly under my foot that was REALLY banking on being hidden but my funniest close encounter was while I was a young teen squirrel hunting. I sat with my back against a small tree about six inches in diameter. I heard something behind me and looked over my shoulder...

    New guy in Iowa

    Gear doesn't need to be expensive. I fill my tags wearing US Army surplus camo and a cheap craigslist hang on stand...or i just sit on a bucket...as long as you're in a good spot, you wont have any trouble getting a deer.

    Ever break your nose?

    Go see a doc. I got elbowed during a scuffle while arresting a guy. It didn't hurt and I didn't think anything of it until I had the guy under control and he was getting checked by medic. They asked if i was okay and I reached up and could physically feel that the left side of my nose was not...

    .277 150gr Accubond Long Range in a 1:10?

    Nosler has a 1:10 as the minimum and recommends 1:9. I'm just starting to reload and wanting to load these bullets. I'm looking for anyone who has had issues with these in a 1:10 and those who have had good results. I'm shooting a 270 Win, 1:10, 24" if it makes a difference. Thanks in advance.

    So many choices so little money need a long range rifle scope

    I haven't gotten a lot of time behind my Athlon but the reviews I watched were impressive. He would lock it down on a bench and roll the dials between his hands as fast as he could like starting a fire by rubbing two sticks, then put the dial back to zero and the crosshairs were dead center back...

    Idaho Spring Bear

    Looking at Idaho for 2021. I will be hunting spot and stalk. I've been looking at harvest stats and want your opinions on how to look at the numbers. Should I look for higher total number of harvests or higher spot and stalk numbers since that is how I want to hunt? For example one unit has...
