    Nalgene holster question

    I have had bladders fail so I always carry a 1L Nalgene as a back up. Any of the Nalgene holsters work fine. I attach it to the left side of my pack since I am right handed. You can get a metal cup that nests with the Nalgene bottle and holster which is a nice space saver. The Nalgene also...

    Hogs

    There is not a lot of info on locations, however it seems they are on land closed to hunting. https://www.pressenterprise.com/2022/01/14/wild-hungry-pigs-still-rampaging-around-santa-ana-river/

    Offset Red Dot for Hunting?

    If you use a variable optic with a low minimum power setting like 2.5x or 3x it’s probably unnecessary. Maybe 4x or greater it may be helpful

    Hogs

    CADFW pretty much eradicated the ones in San Diego County around the El Capitan Reservoir. Riverside county around the Santa Ana river have some but no real access to hunters.

    2 parter! I am glad I am not single, and why does every single woman think they are a 10?

    I was lucky to experience some absolutely horrible girlfriends in my 20’s and 30’s. It was a good lesson on recognizing a bad relationship and not settling. I met my wife in my 40’s and knew I had found a good woman. The big attributes in my mind are respect for one another, fiscal...

    HK45c/HK USP 45c are a robust duty pistols that can shoot the hot .45 loads. Pricey though.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    The post is “.223 for bear, deer, elk and moose”. As I stated earlier, if it’s legal in your state go for it. Even with the 77 gr TMK, it will fall below 1000 ft/lbs of energy around 160 yards. For small deer at close range (less than 200 yds) its probably fine. For large deer I feel it’s...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    I did read the thread. My opinion is based my experience hunting western big game.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Still a controversial subject as nicely pointed out by OXN939. If someone wants to hunt big game with a .223 (where it’s legal) good luck.

    General Purpose Rifle... Bolt or AR?

    If you go the AR (semi-auto) route, I suggest getting a .308 AR DPMS pattern rifle. The Armilite AR-10 pattern tends to be more expensive with fewer options. AR-10 is a quality rifle however DPMS is becoming more of the norm. There is no Mil Spec for an large format AR. Stick with one...

    A 9mm PCC for home defense ?!?!?

    Personally I would go with a production PCC from a reputable manufacturer for SD rather than building one yourself. Reliability and liability would be a concern with anything home built or assembled.
