This fall I’ll be going on a moose hunt in N. Alberta. It’ll be an 8-day hunt. While there is a lodge, the transit time from the lodge to the hunting grounds is over very rough terrain in an Argo, sometimes as much as 1.5 hours each way. I’d much prefer to do an 8-day remote camp and save my...
Eyes are slowly getting worse. Cataracts are making things less clear. I have a decent pair of Leupold 10x42 binoculars. I’m told that pretty much all shots will be less than 250 yds, with the bulk being < 100 yds.
Max spotting distance is expected to be < 500 yds.
I have a tripod...

Bought it for a trip last year that got cancelled. I've only used it at the range about 3 times. Didn't re-book trip so don't know when I'll use it, and don't really need it for the range.
Comes with lens covers and protective soft-side covering.
$400 + shipping...
Going to the Hiawassee Pro Rodeo Memorial Day weekend here in GA. First time attending. Does anyone know if firearms are allowed (concealed carry)? Thanks.
Two of us will be driving up to a moose hunt in northern Alberta next year. F350 DRW and a trailer. Assuming we both tag out, with 300+ lbs each of meat (butchered and freezer wrapped), what do you recommend we do to get it back to SW Florida? Couple of chest freezers running on a generator...
For those of you that are familiar with these, can you answer a couple of questions on them:
1. Do the Goldenrod dehumidifiers have an on/off switch or are they always on when plugged in?
2. I am going to need to leave this in an unattended gun safe in a secured storage facility that is NOT...
When I first ordered my Henry Side Gate Classic in 45-70, I went into with the intention of having my gunsmith make some customization on it to make it MY PERFECT RIFLE. The work I had done was:
1. Install a Terminator Muzzle Brake
2. Move the front sight to accommodate the muzzle brake, and...
I have a question regarding the minimum terminal ballistics for the .44 magnum for large game such as elk or moose. For example, shooting a Buffalo Bore Dangerous Game mono bullet (265gr) from a lever gun with a 20" barrel. Assuming good shot placement, what would be the minimum terminal...
Just a note about DackOutdoors.com. I ordered an optic from them. They are a legitimate company with great pricing. Only after I placed my order did I notice that orders will not ship for about 30 days. That’s fine, I wish I would have seen the notice sooner. The notice is on their website...
A co-worker and I are looking to do a deer hunt in his home state of SC. We’re looking at a couple of areas in Sumter National Forest. were going to scout these areas this summer, but don’t know how long/many days we should spend at each spot. I am thinking maybe 1 full day at each site; 2 if a...
I've been thinking of putting one of these on my Henry lever 45-70. My only problem with it is that it's built-in ballistics is for the .223 and they don't make custom dials for it like the CDS scopes.

Anybody use one, and if...
My wife got me this for Christmas (I picked it out and paid for it LOL). I did a poll on which rangefinder to get, and everyone recommended the Leica. Well, I bought it and took it out it the backyard and am confused as all get out. It's WAY more than what I need - or understand. All I want...
I'm going to be putting a scope on my new Henry Classic 45-70 rifle. I'm planning on using the rifle itself for < 200 yard shooting. With that as the background, I'm going to go with another Leupold scope. I currently have a VX-5HD 3-15X44 CDS-ZL2 SIDE FOCUS HTMR on my Browning 30-06. What I'm...
I'm looking for some 45-70 ammo and found these guys. Great prices, and ammo is available. And then I notice that they don't take credit cards. Venmo, Zelle, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal F&F, but no credit cards, so big red flag for me...
I just finished reading a couple of great threads about outfitters, their job, the hard work they go through, and how they have to put up with a lot of "things" from clients. I too am in a business where I have clients, and that old saying is true, with the addition of "... they may not be...
I’m looking at sleeping systems. Specifically looking for something in the $400 range that will go down to 20 degrees F. I’m equally impressed with both companies but have next to no real world experience with either of them. I’m 6’, 240 lbs and have arthritis. I will match this up with the...
I was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Apparently I've had it for about 3 years now, but only within the last six months has it really hit me.
It just hurts all over. They're going to try to start me on Cymbalta, but I first have to back off some other meds that have contraindications to...
After a lot of research, I finally settled on my backpack. From another forum a guy had mentioned how he contacted the owner of Horn Hunter and asked him if could make a couple of changes to his backpack, which he was happy to do. I reached out to the owner of HH (John) and we talked about...
I’m looking to do a NL moose hunt in 2022 or 2023. I don’t mind driving long distances and in fact would probably prefer to drive in order to bring all my stuff with me. I’ve been reading about what a PITA it is at Canadian airports with firearms.
How is it to drive across the border, ferry...
