    Shocking bark collar

    Sportdog or Garmin work great. Make sure it's snug and placed appropriately. I've used both off and on for years. Dogs wise up to them pretty quick. Anymore all I have to do is show it to them and they'll quiet down. Funny thing is they can differentiate between the ecollar = "Fun" and bark...

    Child carrying packs.

    I bought a lower model Deuter kid Venture from REI when my son was about 8mo old. He absolutely loved it and still does. Very secure and was comfortable when he was younger. He's now 2 1/2 and the pack isn't quite as comfortable for me. I recently just rigged it up to my SG krux frame and it...

    Souped up Air Guns For Small Game. Show Me.

    I have the same gun but the long version in 25cal. With a DonnyFL Sumo moderator and it tuned down, your neighbor probably would only hear the impact on the squirrel if that. At full power the impact is definitely louder than the report. Amazingly quiet air rifle.

    Garmin watch for upland hunting

    Instinct. Been running it for the past 3seasons with my Alpha 100. Super convenient not having to pull the transmitter out of the pouch. I wear the instinct all day everyday and have had zero issues besides band replacements.

    2023 Bird and Dog pics

    Always a depressing time for the season to close. But finished it off with some great dog work and terrible shoooting.

    Idaho airgunners?

    Any airgunners in SW Idaho? I have a few pcps and primarily hunt small game with them and some plinking. Whistle pig season is coming up and was looking to see if anyone would like to head out together this spring.

    Carbon fiber stocks - DIY tinkering

    If you haven't already found this during your research, for strength alternate the orientation of your plies. I.e 45,90,45,90, etc depending on how many plies you use. Off to a great start. Pm me if you have any questions about CF layup, was a CF technician for about 8yrs, however I wasn't...

    .270 WSM Fans

    I killed a bull this year with the 6.8 western and the 175gr game kings at 256yds. Bullet performed great, bull took a few steps then fell over. They shoot extremely well out of my xbolt.

    Diesel heater for wall tent?

    I also purchased an extension after reading about the heaters on line. The smell was extremely strong and the duct seemed to get hotter than I was comfortable with. I haven't had a need for it yet.

    Diesel heater for wall tent?

    I did experience the smell you are referring to. It seems to have lightened up or gone away after about 16hrs or so of run time.

    Diesel heater for wall tent?

    I purchased an Hcalory suitcase style diesel heater to try in my kodiak canvas 10x10 this season. Works really well with "dry" heat being the biggest plus. I set it up outside and pipe the warm air duct through the "back door". Seems to be very fuel efficient and seems to burn a little cleaner...

    Smallest pack with a load shelf?

    I purchased a MR pop up 40 this year and was fortunate enough to kill a bull. I like the simplicity of the pack and it seemed to handle the weight of the quarters pretty well and I know i had it overloaded at one point. I found it had plenty of room for day hunts and cleaned up well.

    Souped up Air Guns For Small Game. Show Me.

    I have a few pcps that I use for plinking and small game. The first two i bought years ago are more of a traditional style rifle. An AA S200 bolt action in 22cal. Shoots about 20ft/lbs but is extremely accurate. Great kid size gun. The other is an AA S510 in 25cal. Side lever magazine fed...

    Those with more than one dog

    For me, 2 dogs is a minimum. As others have mentioned it takes time and money to get out to the places we like to hunt so in order to maximize it you need more than one. I had 4 at one time of varying ages. I think the best advice would be to have 2yrs between them. As the 2yr old is getting it...

    Adding a 6.8 Western??

    I managed a good gunbroker buy earlier this spring on an xbolt mountain pro in 6.8 western. With the recoil hawg brake on it the recoil is extremely mild. The gun is a tack driver for sure with the 175gr tgk, the only round ive fired through it. Shot a decent bull at 258yds this fall with it and...

    favorite sling?

    I ran the claw for years, worked really well. Setup a new rifle this year and gave the FHF rifle sling a try. Sling is nice and the ability to attach it to the side of your pack for hands free hiking with still quick deployment was nice. A little bit of setup with it but seems very secure...

    6.8 Western instead of 7mm Rem Mag?

    I purchased an xbolt in 6.8 earlier this year as my "Do-All" rifle.I cannot say enough good things about it. Gun is amazingly accurate with factory 175gr BLR . 1/4MOA at 100yds. Low recoil, veey fun shoot. Just killed a bull last week at 258yds, the 6.8 did not disappoint. I think you'll be...
