    Any Florida panhandle hunters?

    Man last night was one of the wildest hunts I've had. Bumped two does on the way in, found this guy trailing two does about an hour into my sit, bumped a buck and a doe on the way out. Deer everywhere. My dude's tarsals were definitely strong. As mentioned above, he was with two does- not...

    Lever Action anyone?

    Posted this in the whitetail forum, but my favorite lever got her done again. Found this dude way the hell back on FL public, and the olde 336 did the trick on a split second shot opportunity. Apparently some whitetails have manes? Who knew. Just like that I've got room for another shoulder mount...

    Maned Whitetail

    Anyone ever seen anything like this? Even more prominent in person than the pictures. Do believe I have to get a shoulder mount now...

    Trijicon Huron GTG?

    Another data point for you here. I put a Huron 3-9 on my 7mm-08 mountain rifle about six months ago. Super quick tracking test, zeroed it, off to the races. Dragged that thing across Alaska for moose, back to the east coast, then to WY for antelope and elk, then back to the east coast. Not a...

    Any Florida panhandle hunters?

    I'd go more "saw one" than "seeing," the ten seconds I spent with my guy may well be the highlight of my season here haha. I'm actually in SE AL but hunt over the line in FL, bama's nonresident deer tags cost literally more than the elk tag I hunted this year

    Lever Action anyone?

    Gotta be careful dude. Guy I know missed a large whitetail still hunting a patch of timber last week because his rear peep was loose and he didn't notice it til he drew down on his guy 😂 I'll be out with a 336 in .30-30 which is honestly one of my favorite rifles. Something nice about a rifle...

    Any Florida panhandle hunters?

    Saw one of the largest whitetail I've ever seen on public first week of archery when it was 80 and gross. Sat the same stand two evenings with that cold snap last week and saw one doe, hah. If I'm reading the regs correctly, they canked the doe days that ran basically the entire general...

    WTB Semi Custom 6.5 PRC

    In the market and thought I'd check to see if anyone here has one to move. Bare rifles preferred. Shoot me a PM with what you've got! Thanks in advance.

    Anyone running a Weatherby 307 Alpine CT?

    Yep heard that. Dudes seem to love their Waypoints. Looking forward to updates!

    Tikka T3x 30-06 - what 6 or 6.5 ?

    '06 in the factory stock definitely lets you know it's there. I'd consider keeping it and getting it a little brother in 7mm-08 or 6.5 CM though- between those two, you've got everything on the continent covered. Also, an aftermarket stock or milder hand loads would both help tame recoil. Lots...

    Anyone running a Weatherby 307 Alpine CT?

    +1 on this. One of these in 6.5 PRC could be a solid base for a sheep rig I'm putting together if they're well executed. Vert grip stock and Triggertech are nice. Anyone have firsthand experience with BSF barrels? Different manufacture process than Proof or Bartlein apparently

    Muck boots 50% off

    I ordered a pair of mucks last year around this time through a similar sale. They fit great and worked well for about two months... then the material cracked around the toe where it flexes and created pinhole leaks in the same place on both boots. Apparently the quality has gone down the tube...

    30-30 Copper ammo (Barnes) penciled through Whitetail Buck this morning...thoughts?

    Unknown munitions, the place that manufactures loaded ammo with hammers, does not list .30-30 as a caliber available on their website. But honestly, I don't think I'd be concerned about your performance with factory ammo. Lungs are mostly air by volume, so with any bullet that is designed to...

    Mike Tyson VS Jake Paul

    Agreed on this! Between him and that Indian dude humping his opponent in the corner, it was a great reminder how silly and boring a sport boxing is

    Mike Tyson VS Jake Paul

    Yeah felt so bad he got into the ring to beat up another washed up old man, this time literally older than his father. So glad I went to bed early

    Mike Tyson VS Jake Paul

    Dude I watched with a few of my buddies and the whole time we were wondering why people watch boxing. It truly is like watching the kickers warming up on the sidelines of a football game compared to MMA. Good news is, tonight's card should be solid. Main event is a joke but lots of good fights...

    Getting into ML

    Their website says a BC of .205. So that gives you an anemic 1200 FPS at 250 yards. And that's redlining your rifle- tough to shoot well, recoils like a lightweight belted magnum, usually doesn't group as well as lighter loads, and makes spotting shots close to impossible. Could accept that. Or...

    Getting into ML

    Absolutely! Here are a few reasons why. 1. This thread is about a brand new hunter asking for advice, not a guy with over 30 muzzleloaders. 2. Even among experienced blackpowder hunters, most setups in the field today are not capable of ethically killing much past 200. Take a Thor 250 out of a...

    Mike Tyson VS Jake Paul

    I would love to see Tyson KO Paul as much as the next guy, and I have no doubt he's in great shape. But father time is a hell of a corner man to beat, and Mike is literally twice Jake's age, fighting a guy whose entire career has consisted of beating washed up fighters old enough to be his dad...

    Alaska Caribou draws

    I've never hunted the tag, but I did fly thousands of miles over the KP this summer and can confidently say that there are not a ton of bou there. I'm sure someone knows of pockets where they may hang out, but I never saw more than two or three animals at a time and looked over a lot of that...
