    Who hunts with a 10lb+ rifle?

    Favorite Caliber (s)

    New guy from Idaho

    Recently became interested in hunting so getting myself familiar with best places to skim peoples experiences and learn what's what before I go out and do more damage than good. Been lurking for awhile and figured out this must be the place. Hope to learn a lot and then add my own experiences...

    Share your “Buy once cried once” lesson

    Multiple compromises on rifles in different calibers. Now only use one caliber. Multiple compromises on pistols, routinely skipping purchasing the ones I should have had for decades just to try the newest jazz. Multiple purchases of compromises on GPS devices and compasses. Dropped $ on a...
