    That's the plan!

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

    12pt whitetail, just this afternoon. I don't have full autopsy pics yet because I let my deer hang for a day or two before butchering. I'll update once I get the skin off. 124yds, extreme downhill angle. I was 12 feet up a tree, the deer was at the bottom of a VERY steep hill. 2517fps impact...

    WTS Badlands Reactor

    900cui daypack. Tiny little thing, but super handy! It's essentially a bladder carrier that you can fit a jacket, gloves & a few snacks in. I used it as an early season or hog hunting pack, when all I really needed to carry was a kill kit, a day's worth of food, waterproofs & water. If you...

    Best Credit Card?

    Have you looked at Credit Karma? The credit score tracking folks? Hands down THE best thing I've done, financially (outside of investments etc...) is sign up to their site. I took my credit score from what they call a 'slim file' which is essentially zero credit, to the mid 600s in the space of...

    You can go back in time…

    I disagree entirely. I can't run 200m without getting out of breath. Do I get a 250m headstart in the 400m Olympics? Not everyone can hunt every season. That's life.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    The  perfect spot for a Ham'r, if ever there was one. I've got 200yds of open pasture to my right & I'm sitting on the northern end of 26 acres of mixed oak & hickory with a 5mph south wind. It's 57⁰, the sun has been up all day & I haven't seen a frigging thing. 🙄

    How many have missed animals due to a failed scope?

    I had a Vortex diamondback on my last Savage .223. It fell over in the safe & by fell over, i literally mean the muzzle shifted 6" before stopping against the rifle next to it. I never gave it a second thought. I hunted with it the next day & wound up missing 3 deer with 10 shots, the furthest...

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    If anyone else was building it, I'd pre-order. However, my history with BCA is making it a hard no. Everything I've ever had from BCA has been utter garbage. From 'functional but poorly made' right through to 'It literally doesn't do any of the things it's supposed to do' And their customer...

    Kuiu Venture 1800 gunbearer?

    Oh man, that's awesome! Thanks for the photo. Kuiu's site makes it look like the pocket joins into the body. Imma go order one, right now!

    Kuiu Venture 1800 gunbearer?

    I was thinking more about the Universal that straps around the belt, as opposed to the Molle version. If I could find a 2300 for the price of the 1800, I'd buy one in a heartbeat & figure it out!

    Tips for getting a steady shot in the backcountry.

    Offhand, absolutely. It's very rare that I don't have a tree within a couple of steps. All my stands have a rail & I carry my tripod into a blind. When I'm out west I've got my tripod if I'm setting up somewhere, or my pack if it's shorter notice. The only times I know I'm going to have an...

    Tips for getting a steady shot in the backcountry.

    Very, very few, I should imagine! I actually do, but only with my super short range only guns (basically, hog specific sub 50yd stuff) Realistically, there's no chance I'll ever take an offhand shot beyond that.

    Recheck Zero After Removing and Installing Stock?

    I literally just did this with my Rokstock for the paintjob. Re-installed & re-torqued it exactly as before. My initial confirmation shots were .3mil low & .2mil left I'm incredibly glad I checked!

    Tips for getting a steady shot in the backcountry.

    It never surprises me how many people shouldn't shoot offhand.....

    Kuiu Venture 1800 gunbearer?

    With the 50% sale price, I'm looking really hard at one of these as a lightweight, whitetail day pack. It seems like it ticks all the right boxes, but I have a question: Is there room on the belt to use a Kifaru Gunbearer? I started using one a few years ago & I couldn't bear to have another...

    Cheek riser bargain.

    I'd part with my second, but it's $550 & comes with a Ruger American .223 bolted to it 😁

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    I ain't admitting how many rifles I've got. But, I regularly hunt with 3: My 2 Tikkas in .223 & 6.5x55 and my lightweight, custom 700 in .358. My ULUL, being a .300 Ham'r, is more of a versatile replacement for a .30-30 Realistically is a sub-200yd gun. If (when) I can afford an ultralight 6x45...

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    Nope. Hell, I ground off the mounts on mine. Shaved maybe 1/10th of a gram 😄

    Fighting boredom in all day sits.

    4 hours is my absolute sitting still limit & that takes an audiobook & earbuds these days. Nowadays, I much prefer to pick & choose the perfect wind, weather, moon phase etc.... & go sit for shorter, 2 hour stints. Oddly, I find myself seeing & shooting many more deer since I started hunting...
