    What hunting rig are you running/how do you use it

    I try to limit it based on the CVT. American models in this range didn't have a trans cooler. I still have that trailer from the camry picture and I've towed a lawnmower or trash to the dump but nothing heavy. Weight limit is pretty small for these. One of the reasons I'm going to end up with a...

    What hunting rig are you running/how do you use it

    My first hunting rig was an '05 Camry. What a fantastic car that was. I bought it with 115k miles on it in 2015 and sold it over the summer with 280k on it. It crossed the 200k mark pulling a trailer to WY for my first western hunt ever. Obviously it was a daily driver conscripted into service...

    PSA about palmetto state armory

    I'm not defending them, I'm just saying it's pretty standard practice by lots of large retailers. There's plenty of corporate practices that suck for consumers. Their perspective is that even though they were wrong, any customer who has proven willing to charge something back is prone to be a...

    PSA about palmetto state armory

    That's pretty much true of most large retailers from what I understand.

    Scope Recommendation - 400 yards

    Nah, an almost identical thread on a different forum by supposedly a different person who also claimed to be from Michigan and unable to see deer in low light at 300 yards except with a 40x scope. Posted a picture looking through a scope at a horse claiming it showed how impossible it was to...

    Scope Recommendation - 400 yards

    Now I could be off on my Midwestern geography and funny laws, but I'm pretty sure the thumb of michigan isn't one of the areas you can use a .308.

    Scope Recommendation - 400 yards

    Hes a troll. He was on a different forum a few days ago saying he wanted this scope for his UML muzzleloader.

    Questions for Form and other "small caliber for big game" folks

    A lot of us hardcore turkey guys have been shooting .410s for years. TSS is good stuff. You'd have to be a millionaire to shoot it for waterfowl though.

    Why suppressors?

    I had very similar thoughts as you. Then I had temporary hearing loss after a deer I shot this year. It will catch up to you eventually. The ringing is gone in my ears right now, but the next loud noise might be the one that brings it back. My rifle suppressor is on the way.

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

    I shot a doe last year with the 62 gr fusion and then tried the 77 tmk this year. Wound channel was good with the fusion but not as destructive as the tmk. Edit: 62gr pics https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/223-for-bear-mountain-goat-deer-elk-and-moose.130488/post-3360804

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

    I emailed speer about it and was told "we're still making it but we can't tell you when or how it might be available"

    What the closest face-to-face encounters you've had with animals while hunting?

    One time I had a great horned owl scare me half to death while deer hunting. I was 20ft up a tree before grey light and I turned my head just in time so see this monstrous bird fly in and land on the branch next to me. He stayed for a second and then decided I wasn't good company. I hunt...

    Whitetail to Elk

    I also hunt highly pressured deer on public and the biggest similarity I found between the two was that you just have to keep going until you find the fresh sign. Don't hunt where you want them to be, find them where they are.

    Hunting License Price Increases

    Game agencies aren't immune from cost increases. Gotta fund it somehow. I'm glad NC offers lifetime licenses. Bought mine a few years back and I'm just a couple years from passing the breakeven on it. Bought my son's before he turned 1 so it was $100 or so. Well worth it.

    Form struck someone’s nerve

    I'm about halfway through it now and I definitely agree with him on one point. He said to validate his claims you should get some ballistics gel (though he strangely said 15% which I've never heard of someone using, could just be my limited experience) and get a cow shoulder blade, cover it with...

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    It had completely gone away after 2 days, then I was playing with my son and he squealed and it instantly came back. It's mostly gone again, so here's hoping.

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    Not a 6 creed, but on my .223 bolt gun I have a brake since I don't have a can yet. I have never put ear plugs in when hunting because I hunt thick woods and stuff happens fast. I shot a deer last Monday with the .223 and it rocked my left ear. 2 days I couldn't hear well from it and I still...
