    WTS Ruger American Compact 7-08

    I have one of these same cartridge its super handy. Free bump and Ill add that as a bare rifle with 18in barrel it weighs 5lbs 12oz or something close. Great lightweight inexpensive little shooter.

    Ever seen the movie mean girls? Thats why.

    Taxidermist to fix mtn goat.

    What a shit show hopefully it turns out for you. Sucks that by now the money spent couldve been towards a half body mount. Water under the bridge at this point I suppose.

    South Carolina opening day gobbler

    Great bird and thanks for sharing. This a good reminder not to get too impatient. A lot of guys dont have the ability to make a few soft calls and wait a while. So many birds come in quiet.

    Baltimore Bridge Collapse

    This has inspired my new tikka build. Plan to run a 450g 50cal death pill. Going to run an 18" barrel hopefully. Should run less than 2000fps to buck the wind that way whatever it runs into will shatter the legs off instantly. Paint job you ask? Going to run the new kyrlon matte camo paint...

    I can't take the time to aim.

    I struggled with the exact same shit. Dont think I ever fully cured it but blind bale and shooting eyes closed from 2 yards into my block sitting on my workbench helped. Like marbles said dont touch the trigger until your hovering over the target. I had to bring my index finger up and over the...

    Leupold VX5 HD or Zeiss Conquest V4?

    MRAD posted in the classifieds just a few min ago. I Personally have 2 VX5-HDs and really like them for the weight. No reliability issues or tracking problems out to 800. That said Ive never beat it with a mallet and checked zero. It does bounce around on a wheeler for moose hunts and ride in...

    Anyone have experience w/ long range fuel tanks?

    100%. The second I mention using a can to fill the truck my wife would probably side eye me with judgy face and thoughts about my lack of planning. Luckily it was just me and the pup. Fuel is available enough up the alcan and on the popular highways in AK that youll be fine. If you start...

    Kid on an Extended Hunt

    At that age its about the experience and making it fun. If he wants to punch out after 5 days then drive into town and spend the extra time sight seeing. Youre building a hunting partner Id hate to shy him away early because he was pushed too hard. Im not implying thats what youd do but...

    Anyone have experience w/ long range fuel tanks?

    Extra capacity making that drive will be nice especially of youre towing. I debated installing a S&B tank before my move up here from SC and wish I would have. Had to tap into my cans twice getting 9mph pulling a loaded 30ft trailer. Fuel in Canada is expensive will be nice to load up as much as...

    Antlerless Hunting - Cows w/ calves, Does w/ fawns...

    No I pass if there are littles with her unless its a January gun season or something real late. I had this personal policy prior to this incident but I arrowed a doe once that went down within sight. Unknowingly, she had twin fawns that were born late (young but no spots) that were bedded in a...

    Talk me out of a tikka

    Tikkas are like a popular restaurant. The food is usually always good and the price is reasonable but not the lowest. You can make a reservation at a fancy anniversary type joint and pay twice as much for an amazing meal but it will no doubt be half the portion size and youll walk away hungry...

    What do you all do to fight the ticks during spring

    Move to Alaska. Aside from that permethrin works great as others have said. Ill swap clothes at the truck if I can then wash when I get home.

    If you like Tapatio, this stuff is great too.

    Tikka "Rokslide Special", let's see 'em

    Solid logic. However the TMK gods are only reliable as Sierras production line. Idk 17 3/8" would give you that little bit extra "stopping power" ya know 🤔

    Day hunting out of the truck?

    Yep. If its just cold enough to freeze, insulating it with your pack/puffy helps. Any colder my water sleeps with me in my bag. One year my 3L bladder leaked 2L inside my bag so make sure things are squared away. That sucked.
