    Howl for Wildlife.org

    Well, there are several. I'm assuming you're aiming at BHA though. Within Mississippi, we're (BHA) pretty well on top of such issues. I'll say Robbie at Blood Origins is up there as well. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    What if I told you the other self advertised public land group is doing just that in MS too?

    WTS Bushnell Nitro 2.5-10x44mm

    I'm selling a like new Bushnell Nitro 2.5-10x44 FFP Deploy MOA. I mounted it on my son's 308 and sighted it in. He's not comfortable with the reticle in low light so I'm selling it. It includes the sunshade and flip up scope caps. I'm asking 275 shipped. If you need any more info or want any...

    How do you feel about 16ga?

    I own a half dozen 16ga shotguns. My first was a 16ga, and I just kinda stuck with them. They can be difficult to find ammo for at times. If you're into waterfowling, Boss Shotshells makes bismuth loads for them. I take my old Ithaca 37 duck hunting a few times each season using Boss shells.

    The Un-official Rokslide Recovered Bullet Thread

    Here's one for everybody. It wasn't recovered from a deer I shot, but rather one I tracked for a guy. The best that we can figure is the deer was shot through the base of the antler. It exhibited all of the signs of a spinal shock (temporary paralysis making the hunter think it dropped dead...

    Are You Getting Bad Blood Trails with the 6.5 Creedmoor? This Is Why

    I use my dogs to track deer all season here in Mississippi. I also talk to lots of others that do. Any time a hunter says they know they made a good shot, but don't have blood, there are 2 calibers that automatically come into mind- 7mm-08 and 6.5 Creedmoor. It's not the cartridge's fault...

    WTB WTB Savage short action magnum bolt head

    I'm about to start a build on a short action Savage, and need a magnum bolt head. I haven't found one in stock anywhere, and the lead times are pretty lengthy. If anyone has one laying around that they would sell please let me know.

    Everyone's Preferred Rangefinder Sub. $500

    I'm leaning towards getting a Vortex myself. I currently have a Sig that I like. Right at the start of archery season the display started going to dim. I have been trying to get a response from Sig customer service since the first week of October. I'm not 100% sure if it's under warranty still...

    Sold High Tech Customs .338-06 AI Rifle Built on 1980 Win M70 Action. Full Package w/ Ammo.

    The bad part is, this gun is just a few hours up the road for me too. Mighty tempting.

    Hiking/trail/ everyday shoe

    Lots of people swear by the Salomons. I tried several different kinds, but none really fit me right. I have been using Altra Timps for trail running for a while but they just don't have the longevity I want. I am typically getting less than 200 miles per pair before the mesh starts to separate...

    Saddle - How do you carry your sticks?

    I have a Tethrd HYS strap that I use on the tree to hold my bow and pack. When I get to the tree, I put this around my waist like a belt and used carabiners to attach my sticks to the HYS strap around my waist.

    Oversights that screwed you?

    Man I feel you there. During early archery season I wear the bare minimum to the tree, and get dressed before I climb up. On the opener 2 years ago I got to the tree, reached in my bag, and didn't have my clothes. I went ahead and climbed up and hunted in gym shorts and a t shirt.
