    Turn in your hunting buddy?

    I just typically try to surround myself with quality people that not only have a strong moral compass but also help each other's moral compass stay pointed in the right direction. Yea, shit happens, but it's less likely to happen when you and your friends put in the effort to be very familiar...

    Are Cordura seat covers the cover of choice?

    I've used both cordura and neoprene covers and I definitely prefer the neoprene for general comfort and they are also a bit nicer to sit on when you first jump in the truck during the winter on below zero kind of days. The neoprene also look nicer. It seemed I had more dirt and stuff work...

    Why use a Suppressor?

    Quite a few good responses stating the pros of hunting suppressed. For me, the main reason I started hunting suppressed was the fact that I hunt with my wife and daughter a lot and I don't want them to have crap hearing like I do, but I also don't want to pass opportunities at animals to put on...

    Floorless + 60-70 mph winds?

    For floorless shelter I've used a Tigoat vertex 6.5 w/ carbon pole in the past for several years and I currently use a SO Cimmaron w/ carbon pole for lightweight base camp and a Kuiu Summit Refuge 3P with Black Diamond trekking poles as a spike camp shelter. I use 9" carbon stakes from Ruta...

    Lowa Tibet Review

    Keens are junk hippy hikers and aren't even close to the same category as Lowa Tibets so you should be good to go with getting some extra use out of them.

    Lowa Tibet Review

    I just purchased my 3rd pair of Tibets. Seems I get about 5-6 years out of them before they are done for. I figure 5 years is pretty dang good consider I use them for daily wear and hunting sheep and everything else I legally can annually by foot. My only complaint is they don't bevel the rand...

    Any Hog Hunters Here..?

    Not particularly a hog hunter but I've killed a few. One time while deployed to Iraq we went through an area and took every single AK we could find because we kept getting shot at all the time. Well a short while later the local farmers started complaining that the wild pigs were destroying...

    Remington Core Lokt Tipped

    People still use corelokt? Last time I saw any of that stuff it looked like an assembly line of apes had produced the ammo with multitools. I cant imagine adding a polymer tip would make it much better, though maybe the new ownership has improved the quality.

    Best wheel gun setup for griz protection?

    My Super Redhawk Toklat in 454 Casull served me well when I had to use it. 300gr Swift revolver a-frames over a stout charge of H110. For what it's worth, I don't carry a revolver for bear defense anymore for a lot of reasons. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Bear hunting with rifle shot placement

    I've shot enough bears that I've lost count and have seen a lot of others shot using archery gear all the way up to 33 Nosler and 45-70. In my experience middle of the middle is starting to get a little too far back and on the shoulder like an ungulate such as deer is too far forward. The vitals...

    Barnes LRX quality?

    Weird. The one on the left looks more like a TTSX than an LRX. Would be interested to see if there is a weight difference. Either way that's a no go for me and would contact Barnes.

    Barnes LRX quality?

    Are the two seated bullets pictured from the same lot or different? A few years back I started noticing that the delrin tips were almost always off center in the bullet. Would also occasionally have tips break off and the bottom edge of some boat tails have almost like a burr or tooling mark...

    Sheep hunt gun recommendation

    You said all three rifles were all similar in weight but didn't specify what type of rifles. I'd take the one that's most reliable and most impervious to terrible weather and getting banged up in the rocks. If they all fit the bill for that then I'd pick either the 280ai or the 6.5 leaning...

    Alaska Caribou. Terminal performance video for the Accubond lovers 😅

    Nice bull. Those accubonds let him live too long though.

    Ammo or Action Issue?

    I believe Nosler had some issues with their 28 ammo/brass not too long ago. Not sure if that is your issue but might be worth calling Nosler with the lot number to find out. The fact that some feed fine makes me think its a brass/ammo issue.

    Which 10x42 Swaros for all things Alaska hunting?

    Well I've had the itch to get some new 10x42 binos lately. Lucky for me my wife works at a retail store, so I pay a visit every so often to look at things and see what the employee discount might be on things I like. Pretty sure I end up spending more than she makes there. I started looking at...

    Like those shovels. Congrats.

    does anyone only carry 1 knife for hunting

    On lightweight hunts I only carry a Havalon with maybe a dozen or so spare blades of various sizes. I'm not the kind of person that forgets or misplaces things and I'm pretty methodical with my pre-hunt gear prep/inventory, so it's never been an issue for me. Also my hunting partner carries a...

    Overrated Gear

    The rain cover for AGC bino harness. I love my AGC Kodiak max to carry all the stuff I want to always have on my person when I drop my pack without adding a bunch of pouches. I just really wish they would have made it from a waterproof fabric or have a waterproof membrane and waterproof zippers...

    Barrel length and velocity

    Gunwerks had a podcast a while back about velocity loss at different barrel lengths for several cartridges, the 28 included. The short of it was that the larger less efficient cartridges lost more per inch and the smaller more efficient ones lost less per inch.
