I dont want people from WY commenting on our wildlife legislation so I don't worry about being able to comment on theirs. Does it suck for NRs to get the blame for every wildlife issue in every western state? Sure. But that wildlife belongs to the people of that state. The closest I get to...
They just don't want to. They may say they want to, but if they really wanted to then they would. Every time I get back from hunting out west, I always have people saying how nice it would be to go and how much they want to. I always tell them they can do it and they always give some excuse...
You gotta do what works for you. I havent broken my auto and haven't seen one broken in a while. In and out of plants, shops, etc. My main point was just that plenty of guys in the field are using auto lenses. It's not a mark of a great welder which style of lens they use.
Are you actually in the field? My experience is different. When I'm doing structural or stick pipe my hood never comes off. Auto lens, flip up style. When chipping slag or grinding, lens is flipped up and my hood is my face shield. Lincoln 2x4 auto lens in a tigerhood. Plenty of guys with autos...
Estwing chipping hammer. I'm primarily welding stainless TIG and I still keep one in my boxes. Super handy for plenty of stuff.
Can never have enough clamps. I have harbor freight f style clamps, swivel pad vise grips, regular vise grips, ratchet straps, cam buckle straps, and c clamps in my...
50-100 yards is pretty standard for a fatal vital shot that doesn't involve the CNS across calibers and loads in my experience. A deer can run that distance in a very short amount of time.
It was an okay podcast. Steve was pretty overbearing at times and he doesn't mesh well with Felker who seems to not care for much media interaction as a general rule. But it definitely had some interesting moments and of course the song at the end sounded great.
I couldn't help but laugh...
Last year, week of Thanksgiving here in NC (my absolute favorite time to hunt, I've killed a deer that week as far back as I can remember):
This year in WY:
I've packed out numerous whole whitetail bucks and my mule deer buck from this year, as well as an elk (but I had a buddy for that and it was a short pack so it wasn't a great test) in my MR Sawtooth and it carries the load great. To me, the hip belt is the most important piece of the puzzle. I...
So a few years back I was on a lease with a few friends and the opener of muzzleloader and opener of rifle were both days when all of us would be up there. So the evening before muzzleloader opener I had hunted with my bow and then a few others arrived and we all went to town to eat at the usual...
Blood trail pic [representative of the average trail, some spots there were a couple pin pricks, some spots there was better blood than this]
Entry:
Exit:
Heart and lungs (picture of the heart and lungs outside the body won't upload, but the heart was destroyed and the lungs with decent damage...
62 gr Federal Fusion at 60 yards, 75 yard death run. Decent blood. Will show a wound cavity when I clean her, letting her sit in case she was in estrus.
I'm so honored to have made the meme radar. I'd like to thank King George III for taxing tea and keeping us Americans from drinking that instead of coffee.
I'm just over here laughing at the guys who think they're serious about coffee because they use a French press and grind their own beans. Meanwhile I'm roasting my own coffee and brewing with a V60 pour over measured on a gram scale like the Lord intended. Light roast Ethiopian natural process...
Your conversion value changes with yardage. MOA doesn't. So if you're thinking of drop as 7 inches at 400 yards, you have to first convert your adjustment from 1 inch at 100 to 4 inches at 400 and then dial 7 clicks. If you're thinking of drop as 1.75 moa at 400 yards, you just have to dial 7...
