    Question about cartridge condition

    Hey folks, I was given a few boxes of ammo that have seen better days. It appears they got wet and were never dried off. Are these still ok to shoot or should I stay away from them? It’s for a 6.5 prc. The brand is Hornady if that matters. I put a new cartridge from a box on the right and...

    CVA Wolf and Williams Precision Muzzleloading Sight WGRS

    @UncleLou I followed the guidance from Mighty Mouse and it worked great. I mounted the rear peep portion in the holes closest to the hammer. I painted the muzzle end with bright pink nail polish. It helped me center everything up. I also removed the actual peep inside the rear site. I...

    Pants like Kuiu Brush Pant, but waterproof

    I have a friend that picked up a pair of pants that are built like the Kuiu Brush Pants, but instead of the front leg and calf area being abrasion resistant, they are waterproof. The seat of the pants is also waterproof. They are pretty sweet. He bought them at a surplus store in Minnesota...

    We are headed to Anchorage then Fairbanks. I figure there are probably some cool gear shops that are worth visiting. Are there any recommended places worth stopping to shop for quality gear, see some cool mounts, or for any reason related to hunting/ being outdoors? As a note, we will have...

    Stripping Camo Pattern from Scope

    Hi All- Can I remove the camo pattern from my Nikon scope so I have a solid black scope? The scope I am referring to is pictured below. I am hoping with some light heat I can peal this away, but I wanted to see if someone has a recommendation before I try heating it up. Thanks.

    CVA Wolf and Williams Precision Muzzleloading Sight WGRS

    I am probably late to the game Steely, so hopefully you got it figured out. But I had the same issue and found a shorter screw at my local hardware store.

    Tightest/ Snuggest Bino Harness

    Hi all- I am looking for something that fits tight to the chest and stays in place when on the move, especially when walking quickly or running. My current setup is an AGC, but I was hoping for some input on something snugger. Thanks.

    CVA Wolf and Williams Precision Muzzleloading Sight WGRS

    Thanks, Might Mouse. How are you liking this setup so far? Did you notice if the reticle is accurate with the 250g bullet and 105g of 209 as they claim it to be?

    Hello. I recently ordered a Williams Precision Sight MGRS (#676854) for my CVA wolf V2 and have a question about where to place the rear peep sight. I have 4 holes towards the breech plug for a rail or scope to be installed. I also have the two holes for where the factory open sights are...

    Different lid options for Initial Ascent packs

    I am curious if anyone has experience using a lid from a different company on an initial ascent pack? I love the pack, but wish the lid came in blaze orange.

    Sitka Traverse Cold Weather Hoody - $99

    The sizing is the same as the Jetstream... I have an XL in both. I find the XL to be perfect for a long sleeve underneath while still having the tight, athletic fit. I like that it is not bulky and flexes a bit, yet extremely warm. It is also durable, which is important to me.

    Sitka Traverse Cold Weather Hoody - $99

    This jacket with a windproof/ waterproof layer on top is bombproof. On many occasions, it is the only jacket I take with me from early season to late season hunts. I prefer it over the Jetstream

    The effect of limited licenses on units that were once OTC

    So it is fair to assume that the number of fellow hunters hasn't changed much or won't change much?

    The effect of limited licenses on units that were once OTC

    Hi Everyone- I have been researching new areas for OTC archery elk in Colorado. Some of the units I am looking at were once OTC and are now limited licenses units. An example is 74, 75, and 77. A similar change happened this year in 80-81. At least that is how I understand it. Much of the...
