    Recently missed a caribou on a hunt of a lifetime. What caused the miss?

    Missed a Maine Moose once. Big sob. Got home, disgusted, put the gun away and didn't look at it for two years. Brought it out a couple years ago and the scope was shooting 8" high at 100. Verified zero before the hunt but not after several hours of travel to the camp. I've listened carefully...

    What do you do for a living? How can you help?

    I'm a software engineer in his twilight of a very long career. Retirement comes in early 26. Never had much of an interest in working on computers 'after work' but would be willing to help if someone here needed it.

    "My Garmin In Reach" Saved My Bacon Today

    Was about to write those exact words. Dead mans lookout above Redfeather Colorado. That was cold and way before Garmin. OP, I too have an Inreach and have owned Spot. Glad it helped you. Thanks for sharing the story.

To, my rifle shoots 1 moa all day long, makes big holes, and I shoot it all day long. It isn't expensive either. The advantage you gain as a...

    The do it all self-defense pistol

    Carried one 1911 or another for many years. It got to the point where I hated the weight and bulk so was leaving them home. You'll want a gun that you can shoot well and don't mind carrying. The latter idea is that it will always go with you. I bought a Glock 19 a little over 20 years ago that...

    Firecreek Forge Feather Damascus. Used this year and was impressed with durability. A forged hunting/camping knife. High carbon steel. A San Mai chopper (not hunting) but same forge and I love this thing. It's been used hard and will still shave hair.
