Interesting 4/20 marketing by Simms
The first time I mixed weed with fishing was around 2007-2008 and a group of us from The Drake message board got together to fish the Catskills for a few days. I hadn't smoked since high school and had no tolerance at all, but had no issues with it and happily took my turn each time the bowl...- deertrout

Is CWD the Imminent Doom for Hunting?
If the story in the link below proves true, I guess it was just a matter of time. I've always been on the fence about what I would do with the meat if I had a deer test positive for CWD. I've always been reluctant to say I'd throw the meat away as there has never been a case of it hopping from...- deertrout

Cold Bow 2024.... QnA Thread
Thats fair, but you have to admit that if anyone needs to better understand their MER, its x-bow hunters. -

Wyoming antelope access question
I regretted not bringing fishing gear with me on an antelope hunt a couple years ago. I was tagged out but still glassing to help a buddy. I was up on this big hill in the plains near a small pond, maybe 5 acres or so. I had driven past that pond a bunch over the week and thought it was just... -
What has actually quit on you in the field?
Not a rifle, but I had a pump action shotgun jam up on me pretty good once while grouse hunting. Had a tiny little piece of a stick get stuck in an easily overlooked spot between the pump and the magazine and couldn't figure it out in the field. Found it pretty quick once I was home. -

What are reasonable goals for group size?
This is so timely, I've been wondering the same thing. Shot a 1.5" group at 100 the other day, told my friend about some ideas I had to make it better and he told me that's already not bad, especially if I'm just shooting for hunting. -
What did you do in the reloading room today?
Love that setup! I'm working off a L-shaped bench right now but have been thinking a U-shape would be the way to go. I worked through my primer issue last night. Not sure I understand what exactly the root cause is yet but I'm pretty sure I got some primers with a slightly oversized OD... -
What did you do in the reloading room today?
Ran into my first quality issue in the reloading room last night. I'm working on a load for .223 50gr TSX and have narrowed down my charge to either 24.0gr or 24.3gr. I don't have a ton of .223 brass, but I have about 1,000pcs of 5.56 brass that I am hoping I can use for .223 reloads. So I'm... -
What did you do in the reloading room today?
Finally got some better weather so I hit the local gravel pit after work last night. Was very rewarding to see all the bullets I made work as intended. Got a couple charge weights (24.0gr and 24.3gr) that performed really well so I'm gonna load some more of those up to do a head to head with a... -
New Ruger American Gen II
I picked one of these up last month in .223. Put a scope on it and have only shot about 25 rounds through it so far. Shooting out of a sled, I was getting near touching bullet holes right out of the gate at 100yds. Haven't measured groups, but I just got into reloading so I'll start measuring... -
What did you do in the reloading room today?
Been pretty busy lately but finally got back to reloading my first batch of cartridges. Went with 50gr TSX, and a ladder of H335 from 23.4gr to 24.6gr in 0.3 grain increments, 4 shots per charge. Trying to figure out a good charge for my 223 Gen II Ruger American. Really, though, I just... -
What did you do in the reloading room today?
Finished my brass prep the last couple nights. Learned a lot. I'm really loving reloading, especially the slow pace, it's a super great way to slow down and decimpress.. -
Getting into Target Archery
I got into it a few years ago and really enjoyed it. I just used my hunting bow with target accessories and arrows and did alright. Won my local club's 3D league two years, took 3rd in indoor two years and 3rd at a state level FITA shoot. I say all that not to brag but to say you can be... -
Dinner in Columbus, OH?
If you go for pizza, check out Buckeye Pizza and Stromboli near the intersection of Morse and Westerville Rd. As a Wolverine fan, it's probably one of the best pizzas I've ever had, secret ingredient is buckeye tears...- deertrout

What did you do in the reloading room today?
Learned how to resize tonight! Only ran into one problem on the 3 piece of brass, didn't have the spindle tightened enough and it came through when I brought the ram down. Wasn't too hard to get out. Will figure out case trimming tomorrow. -
ANOTHER Toyota Tundra Discussion… Help please!
I love my 2018, SR5 Double cab 5.7. If you plan to do any truck camping, I'd definitely recommend the double cab with the 6.5' bed.- deertrout
