    Live Predator Hunt - S Texas - 12/5/19

    Nothing at stand one but we’re at stand 2 now. Just a short hop. Really focusing on a bobcat for a buddy down from Alaska. We’ll see how this one goes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Shape charge vs 14’r

    What is a “predator platform?” Is it a tree stand named that or is it a particular stand that you use for calling predators from? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My GSP puppy dies at a Kennel

    X2 Buddy of mine just had one of his cats on his ranch show signs of poisoning. Cat had to be put down. He asked the vet to do a necropsy and all the testing he could do. Results came back: cause unknown. Vet still thinks it’s poisoning but many don’t show up after initial exposure. Sent...

    I’m not much into politics, but man this burns my a**

    Good to see that some other folks were as disturbed by this story as me. I new about some of Singer’s shady tactics in tge Cabelas deal (and many of his previous predatory moves) but I didn’t fully understand the repercussions to the community. Totally disgusting. Even more than the back story...

    My GSP puppy dies at a Kennel

    Very sorry for your loss! I’ve hunted with dogs most of my life and currently maintain a kennel of blood tracking dogs here in Texas. We always have one or two that live in the house with us as well. So, I can relate to the emotions you’re going through with the loss. I think that @tipsntails7...

    New Elk boom stick, help needed.

    Is there a caliber or brand that hasn’t been recommended in this thread? Lol! Just goes to show that you can use just about anything and it all comes down to personal preference. When you say, “lightweight” what are you talking about - sub 6lbs, sub 7lbs, sub 8lbs? Is that including your scope...

    What’s up with all the cerokote

    I love classic blued guns and I have a number of them; but I also love Cerakote. To me it’s not an ‘either-or’ situation, it’s a “both!” For someone like me that guides and hunts year-round, Cerakote offers me a very tough, element impervious protection and the ability to color (camo, if you...

    What’s up with all the cerokote

    Actually, the bolt face on a Tikka 6.5cm bolt can be opened up to convert it to a 6.5PRC. The ONLY crappy thing about Tikka is the fact that there aren’t and replacement bolts to be bought. Once you open that bolt face up, there’s no going back to a standard bolt face. Sent from my iPhone...

    Titanium bolt body?

    Maybe a stupid question but could a titanium bolt body take the stress/abuse a bolt body gets? Seems I read somewhere that it’s a metallurgical issue. Got to be a darn good reason or someone like Jim Borden would have been doing it a long time ago! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    DOPE/drop chart data.

    Wow, this is an ancient thread! It’s gotten even easier with my Kestrel 5700 ABS and Sig Kilo 3000BDX binos. Kestrel shows my solution, whether I want to dial or use my reticle for the hold, AND it sends the solution to my binos as well. So, as I’m hitting the range finder in the binos I’m...

    Are those factory loads? You think sub .5moa possible with well a well developed load? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    CarbonSix barrels?

    What sort of groups are you getting? “Shoots well” is subjective. Lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Looking to add a muzzle break?

    1st rifle for a new hunter

    I’d steer him to a short action, low recoil round like 6.5 Creedmoor or PRC (if you like speed) or a .308 or 7mm-08. The whole ‘grow a set and shoot a big boy caliber’ crowd is just plain wrong, imo. What do I know, though, after 30+ years guiding? Lol. Seriously, recoil causes more problems in...

    Hunting with a 26" barrel

    I have carried long barrels and currently carry a 22” barrel with about 5” of additional suppressor - never had a problem. I hunt and guide in the south Texas brush country and I’m 6’ 2” an I love that rifle. My height is more of a hassle than my rifle. Toting a longer rifle just requires a...

    Back country Bipod

    Sure it’s possible! That said...... Everybody has made great points and I think it really comes down to the range you’ll be shooting on a particular hunt, your shooting ability, your rifle and the way you backpack. Are you going to spend many days in the back country or are you day-tripping it...

    Eddie Bauer 50% off.

    Yeah, I just bought some stuff for the house like a couple new comforters on 50% off. Beware...they’ve been so slammed with orders that their website has been having lots of problems on processing charges. It set off warnings at 2 of my banks. No problem, just a hassle getting cards unlocked...
