    That is the case for any state with a politically appointed board structure. Oregon as well.

    WTB Fast twist Thompson contender barrels

    Looking for a fast twist .223 wylde or 5.56 chambered contender preferably 16-20 inches. Also looking for a fast twist 300 blackout or 300 whisper in 10-17 inches. Would also be interested in a fast twist 6mm caliber.

    Help choosing ideal chambering/rifle to shoot lead free projectiles.

    Excellent terminal performance. I’ve watched quite a few animals taken with them and haven’t witnessed a loss or failure. The trauma caused has been more than adequate. They are extremely easy to load for. I have a 6.5 creedmoor load with the 124’s that shoots under 3/4 moa in every rifle...

    Help choosing ideal chambering/rifle to shoot lead free projectiles.

    As someone who built a fast twist 25-06 several years ago I can’t recommend it unless you have nostalgia for the cartridge. It’s a fine cartridge but factory offerings are anemic to say the least and doesn’t compete with newer short action chamberings with significantly longer barrel life and...

    Non lead bullets and performance at distance

    I have a 6.5 creedmoor that has never fired a lead projectile. It reliably rings steel out to 650 yards which is plenty for me. Played around to 895 and can’t say it performed much worse or better than friends playing with lead loads. I’ve performed or seen performed dozens of non lead...

    Interested in this build. Thinking of doing the same. What .223 barrel did you end up with?

    Monos vs. Lead. Which do you choose and why?

    Various. 30-06, 25-06, 6.5 creedmoor, and 6.5 prc. Not all me doing the shooting lol I’m not that obscenely lucky with tags. I’ve seen good hits result in bang flops and good hits result in animals running all out before crashing down with both lead and copper bullets. Some shots I wouldn’t...

    Monos vs. Lead. Which do you choose and why?

    I shoot mono’s for several reasons. Prefer to use less toxic methods when available for most anything. There is plenty of information and a clear mode of action for animals to be fatally lead poisoned from ingesting animals killed by lead bullets. When I pull the trigger I prefer to kill only...

    Cramping…

    I’ll have to try the mustard thing. I have cramp fasciculation syndrome so my cramping isn’t an electrolyte issue as much as a weird motor nuero issue. Not all cramping is due to electrolyte imbalances but that’s always the advice. My blood work is perfect regarding electrolytes and I’ve had...

    Chasing Big Muleys and Mental Endurance

    I’m right there with you in shooting 2.5-4.5 year old bucks. Hunt after hunt. This years really, really stung, enough to maybe change things. My reasons aren’t a race to get home. I love it out there and am fine being cold and wet for a week straight. But being that I only eat meat from...

    crispi

    What are you thinking of as a replacement? I’m in the same situation with my guide boots.

    I have the guides and yeah they are leaking. So next boots won’t be crispis.

    Crispi Guide Uninsulated Wetting Through

    I have a pair of Crispi Guide boots who just finished their third season. They have maybe 200 miles on them. This season in slushy wet snow conditions they have wet through completely and get a little damp inside in regular rainy conditions. One was a mountain goat hunt so soaking wet boots at...

    Climate change...deer numbers

    Yeah, people fail to realize how much effort it took to exterminate wolves. People think because it happened in the past we have to be so careful. But fail to realize what a monumental effort it took.

    Climate change...deer numbers

    This is super interesting actually. So they have different targets. Vehicle emissions controls are targeted towards “smog” type pollutants. Soot, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, etc…. These have been very effective measures at reducing that type of air pollution. However, they do come with...

    Climate change...deer numbers

    Also, if you’re going to make a claim that the science isn’t settled or established you should probably refer or defer to some science. Just saying so as a guy doesn’t make it so.

    Climate change...deer numbers

    Except it is proven. We can show and measure that we increase the concentration of carbon dioxide and we know that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. That’s the proof. That’s the part you’d need to be able to refute. But you can’t you continue to use the logical fallacy of both straw man...

    Climate change...deer numbers

    The quotas are almost useless because we as hunters never meet them. Without dogs it’s hard and almost no one puts in dedicated e species specific effort.

    It’s also not that they don’t know. This 2023 paper identifies cougars as the leading cause of mortality for female deer. https://www.dfw.state.or.us/wildlife/management_plans/mule_deer/Chapter_8_Predation.pdf
