    What’s in your log book?

    I just got a new rifle and will be reloading for it. I’ve reloaded in the past but it’s been twenty years so I’m approaching it as if I know nothing. My goal is to learn to shoot longer distances (up to 1,000 yards) so I’ll be confident taking shots under 500 yards when hunting. With this in...

    Western Montana Whitetail Tactics

    I moved to western Montana this past week and will be archery hunting whitetail does for the rest of the fall (it’s one of the few tags I can get). I grew up on the east coast and am well versed with the typical tactics (I.e. set up on feeding areas, travel corridors, pinch points, etc.) For...

    Mid elevation Mule Deer with a Bow

    This is my first time hunting mule deer with a bow. I’m in a unit that has high open basins and meadows but is mostly mature aspens, some conifers, some small lower meadows. I’ve scouted 7 days, and found a number of bucks in the high basins and also in mid elevations. Thinking ahead I believe...

    How much brass to buy?

    I’m getting into reloading for a 280ai. With brass being scarce, how many cases would you suggest purchasing initially? 100, 150, 200? Is there any downside to shooting brass from the same manufacturer but different lots? If for instance I bought 100 cases now and 100 in 6 months?

    Preferred Anti Cant Indicator

    What type of bubble level do your prefer for your scope? Integrated in to the rings, separately mounted to the scope tube or integrated into the picatinny rail? Im leaning towards the level integrated into the picatinny rail as it seems unobtrusive and your scope mount would have to fail for it...

    Undescended testicle bull

    I filled my cow tag yesterday. Started skinning out the elk and realized it didn’t have any udders. It had a small penis but no testicles. Double checked the head and didn’t feel any antler pedicles. After some further head scratching and skinning we found that it had a pair of undescended...

    High end factory vs semi custom

    I plan to buy a quality rifle with intent of using it for 90% of my hunting for the foreseeable future. I’ve set a budget ($3k for the rifle) listed out my requirements, selected a caliber and identified my options. Now I’ve got analysis paralysis as I’m stuck choosing between the Fierce Rival...

    Do you need a bolt that locks when the safety is on?

    I’m in the market for a high end factory rifle (Seekins, Springfield waypoint, Christensen, etc.) which I plan to use for 90% of my hunting. I’ve been surprised that most of these rifles don’t lock the bolt when the safety is on. All the rifles I’ve owned and hunted with have had locking bolts...

    Finding elk rutting areas?

    I’m starting my summer scouting in a couple weeks. I’ve heard/read various people, articles, podcasts state elk will often use the same rutting areas year after year. The suggestions were to look for large benches, flat meadows or mesas. This is a start but doesn’t help identify which specific...

    Water storage when Truck Camping

    My truck camping water storage bags sprung a leak this weekend. I’m thinking about getting a hard sided container for the added durability. Anyone have a recommendation for what they use? So far I’ve found the common aqua-tainer jugs, but reviews talk about the faucet leaking.

    Feeding Areas in Drier Mountains

    I’m escouting a unit in one of the drier states and I’m struggling to find feeding areas. The unit is mostly 8,000 to 11,000 ft, and is fairly open but has timbered slopes and aspen patches. From online photos of the area I can see there are some grassy meadows. However when I look on Google...

    New Nemo Tensor Ultralight Durability

    Has anyone had any durability issues with the Nemo Insulated Tensor Ultralight pads? I searched the forum but didn’t find anything. I’m trying to decide between it and the Thermarest NeoAir Xlite. Some of the reviews for the Tensor say it’s not very durable.

    Colorado Unit 10

    My dad cashed in his points and drew a Unit 10 3rd season tag. He scouted the unit some last November and we’ll be doing more this summer and fall. But if anyone is willing to have a private chat and share their experience I’d be grateful. If you respond here I’ll send you a PM!
