168 gr ELD-M 308 running about 2650 on a 20” barrel. First hand load on a live animal and I gotta say I’m pretty impressed. Through the front left shoulder of the axis and lodged under the skin past the ribs. Last two pictures are a red sheep same round entrance and exit hole.
I do not. I bought it in a package deal with a bunch of other stuff and know that the previous guy has two young kids and he was missing the other set ups. From what I can tell there’s nothing missing. Priced cheap knowing they’re used. Stuck with loading rifle shotgun never peaked my interest...
Getting ready to move and cleaning up some things I don’t use. Would love to get rid of locally (DFW) but if shipped you are responsible for the ride.

Looks good! I am considering the porch. I will stick to metal tubing for the frame to cut weight of the wood. So it’s going to 100% be built at the house then moved. Still coming up with an idea so that I’m not 12’ tall on the trailer going there.
Not a bad idea for the carpet padding. I considered just going stupid with it and adding to it year by year if I go the 6x6 route. Sheet metal skin, insulate/sound dampen the inside, feeling froggy cover the inside in 1/8” plywood. Then following year add solar to it for fans or phone chargers...
That was kinda my thought. If I keep it with simple dimensions to reduce amount of waste and put it on skids to drag it on and off the trailer since we’re leasing the land it needs to be easy to get out if the old man ever were to pass and our lease is lost. Just feel like starting from scratch...
As someone who guided I feel like it is often ignored. Some may think that the ranch is building in the price for tip or that the ranch pays the guide. The particular one I was on didn’t pay guides and a lot of us traveled 3.5 hours to work the weekends and were 100% tip based. So it got to the...
My father in law was what started me. My dad and grandfather always hunted but after kids were born they both stopped. Father in law was with me when I shot my first deer at 16, and now we’re on the same lease together. 17 years later if one of us is hunting the other is usually right there...
Sounds painful. I don’t know much on how replacements work, but had my labrum and rotator cuff repaired in 2018 as well as shaving a couple bone spurs. I would say that some movements still hurt but overall it beats the all day pain that I had. There’s still days that it’ll hurt from the day...
With the prices off all the blinds these days it seems like the better play is to build your own. I built a 4x6 two man back in 2018 and the skin is starting to look raggedy. Thinking after this season it’s coming home for a make over. Blind is currently a 1” square tubing frame all welded...
I live about a mile from Cinnamon creek and it is probably the best 3D range in the area. I think they’re up to 3 different courses now. Haven’t shot it in awhile. If you make it to there you might as well jump on 35 and head north about 7 miles and visit 407 BBQ. If you’re sticking to the...
Coming from someone who knows. I have a 2500HD that’s my daily. When it decides it doesn’t feel like working that week I’ll drive the Jeep. 1. It isn’t fuel efficient at all 2. In Texas heat it sucks because it never cools off inside. 3. You can’t even move out of your own way 4. It’s like a...
In my ranger across the back seat grab rail I have some kolpin XL’s. They are adjustable and swivel. I roll them to be parallel for shot guns and rest the butts on the seat. Then if carrying a bow or something I’ll turn them to be perpendicular to the cab.

Have to be a crew cab Tacoma. As expensive as side by sides have gotten you might as well just buy a truck with heat and AC. Plus don’t have to drag a trailer
