    Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

    Why do they make .22 LR and .22 Mags self defense handguns - For handicap, arthritic people who have no other choice ? It still does not make it a good choice. It is better than nothing but if you have the ability to shoot a larger caliber that is silly. Have you tested that ammo ? I...

    Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

    First and foremost, if that is what you carry, then go for it. I am not here to tell anybody what to do however I would never recommend to any body I know for the following reasons- 1/. Rimfire ammo like .22lr is notorious for ignition failure and ejection failures. You can negate that by...

    Whurrr goes the arrow

    I personally think arrow sound is an issue more so than the bow because typically I can get away with making one sound and not spooking an animal but two almost always does. I think that is a universal truth with risk analyst. Hearing a branch cracking is alarming but its not concerning...

    Do You Sleep With Your Food in Bear Country?

    I think putting your food in a bag and hanging it or a canister is only stopping curious and hungry bears. The kind of bear that is not going to follow the scent of food from your cook or storage site back to your camp.... However, no bear preparedness is going to stop a hungry and desperate...

    Oregon Fall Bear 2024

    I did some scouting early in the week but I usually dont hit Bear hunting hard until October in between the two general archery seasons. I am kind of at a loss for what to do with all the forest closures though. I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be running and gunning the coastal...

    Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

    I use to work in a gun shop and the three things I heard the most that pissed me off or just made me roll my eyes were - some variations of the following 1. Get yourself a shotgun, you dont even need to aim just point and every thing will die. This seemed to always be recommended to a 100 lb...

    Whurrr goes the arrow

    Are your fieldpoints / broadheads unscrewing after shooting? Typically if you fletch left helical that arrow is going to spin left and if you are right handed which I assume you may be backing out the field points after release and after pulling from your target? All it takes is a slight turn...

    Advice for Solo hunts

    Get out for a few over night solo trips in Texas before you commit to a trip. Work out your shelter system, your navigation, food etc all before you get out there. There is truly nothing worse than getting gear and going out and being miserable and not be able to focus on while you are there...

    Anti-hunting Hunters - Article by Fred Eichler

    Yes! Every episode felt like I was listening to someone who hated himself for hunting. The sort of "mental masturbation" that guy went through every episode was exhausting.

    Moving to Oregon from CA

    I think my perception of Western Oregon having little to no backcountry is how often I run into people that are not hunting versus how often I run into other hunters on the East. side I hunt primarily on the wet side but I just have countless stories of running into hikers, trail runners...

    Anti-hunting Hunters - Article by Fred Eichler

    The pandemic was pretty great for conservation dollars with license tags and what not but it was pretty awful for long term optics to the pursuit of hunting. I talked to a lot of excitable new hunters several years ago and they were all on the same train - Fear of food scarcity + boredom+...

    Moving to Oregon from CA

    Yeah, I wouldn't call it back country ... Most areas south of Eugene or South of Florence are still road accessible. I would agree it's more back country than NW and inland West is but there are still some pretty consistent road systems.

    Moving to Oregon from CA

    If you are in the trades or medical you are good to go with jobs but everything else is a crap shoot. It's very much a left wing hellscape in Eugene, Portland and Salem but even the coastal cities tend to be right of center and every where else is usually center or right of center. However...
