    I don't have any of the hd versions, so I can't comment on those. So far, the non-hd seems fine. I'm in my mid-50's so my eyesight is not great😵‍💫

    Form struck someone’s nerve

    I think a bunch of people need to read the ancient P.O. Ackley books. A long time ago he advocated small calibers, high velocity and quick twists. There was 17 and 22 cal testing done on feral horses or donkeys (been a while since I read the books) confirming success. Considering the crap...

    Enclosed vs Utility Trailer

    Not sure how long the razors are, but I was thinking at least 20 foot since the ATV can't go in sideways?

    Enclosed vs Utility Trailer

    A razor AND an ATV= a large enclosed trailer. Seems like a lot of sail for cross winds.

    I deer hunted with mine tonight. This is the first year having this scope so I constantly compare it to my Zeiss 10x binos and can't tell any useable difference. I can easily shoot until 30 min after sunset per the law.

    Teased with 10k snow geese landing around the house all evening. This pic is just a fraction of the birds around the house.😂

    Turkey Shotguns for Small Game?

    I used to use a Remington 870 Special Purpose 12 gauge for everything. Full camo, 21 in barrel. It isn't made anymore. Fantastic gun that shot turkey, geese, and upland birds. It fit great and I shot it very well. Ended up relegating it to a home defense role as neck issues forced me into a semi...

    Crockpot Shanks

    You guys are making me hungry! When we were younger my wife and I struggled with what to do with shanks. We didn't grind them into burger as we don't like that much sinew and silver skin in the burger. I used to try and separate sections and get the clean meat out, and of course that was super...

    First snow of the year. Managed to knock down 1 quail and missed the next two. Oh well, still a great day to be out with the pup.

    Tell me to shut up and buy the Tikka

    Like others have said, it's a non-issue. Besides, a 223 will have a medium bolt throw not a long one. I've never noticed the difference, but I run a bolt pretty hard. Besides, having a long action means you can swap barrels and bolt stop and move to a long action cartridge in the same gun. The...

    5 quail on public yesterday. She did fantastic finding two birds that were poorly hit and went into nasty blackberry brambles.

    Fighting boredom in all day sits.

    There's no way I'm sitting in a stand all day. I don't have the ability to concentrate that long, and IMHO you have to concentrate. If you are reading or looking at a phone then you will miss something, either a fast moving deer or another animal cluing you in that a deer is coming. I've read...

    Brittany Spaniel...

    Only one shot today on walk-in hunting ground, but made it count;) It's always fun to get out with a dog and watch the pure joy they get in the field. Yesterday at 5AM I shot a rabbit in the garden with the 17HMR. She grabbed it and went to the front door of the house to be let inside. Looks...

    Engineering Position - Interior Alaska

    It's a fantastic opportunity for the right person. Spend 6 years or so and hunt sheep, moose, caribou, and bear basically for free. Screw those $60k sheep and $25k moose hunts ;) The Ptarmigan hunting is pretty awesome in that area too.

    Brittany Spaniel...

    I had my heart set on a black and white color but wouldn't change a thing now! She's my constant companion. As others said, she does not handle heat well.

    Brittany Spaniel...

    Go for it! I have a young female French Brittany and she is awesome. My first bird dog and was so easy to train. They are supposed to be a versatile breed and that's the truth. She'll hunt anything. I was very surprised how little she sheds. She's snoozing on the couch next to me right now :)...

    How should I hunt this Deer? - NEED OPINIONS

    I'd put in a licking branch, scrape the dirt underneath and take a piss in the scrape. Put the branch on a field edge if possible and put a camera on it. If he's around he'll find it, especially when the other deer start using it. It's amazing how well this works to see what bucks are around...
