    Don't mind me, fellow human. I'm most certainly not a bot. Thank you for your work as a mod and for the explanation. I will avoid posting hyperlinks unless i think it truly adds to the conversation. No need to make more work. Take care, y'all.

    Hey y'all, I'm new to the forum and trying to figure out the lay of the land. Normally if I submit a post on a thread it will be visible immediately, but I noticed that if I include a hyperlink it will appear on the thread but with the message: " This message is awaiting moderator approval...

    Bring sharpener for fixed blade or ditch it for a Havalon?

    This is so true. I got into freehand sharpening on a larger stone this year and it was a lot harder than I anticipated and was for a time frustrating. But I stuck with it and have been able to achieve pretty good results with the one diamond stone and a strop. I'm sharpening my friends kitchen...

    Bring sharpener for fixed blade or ditch it for a Havalon?

    Maybe I'm weird but when given the option to hunt from home by hiking over the mountains I prefer that to spending half a day in the car to get into my zone. I enjoy being in the mountains. I know it'll be a pretty crushing hike out but I want to hunt from my side, so no getting around it.

    Bring sharpener for fixed blade or ditch it for a Havalon?

    For folks who are saying they get through a whole animal without sharpening their fixed blade, are they talking about quartering or boning out? There's gonna be a dozen miles and at least one mountain pass between me the truck. Thanks y'all

    Bring sharpener for fixed blade or ditch it for a Havalon?

    Thanks for the advice, everyone. Sounds like to start I might want to avoid relying on a Havalon. I have a bit of freehand sharpening experience so I will plan to touch up the fixed blade Morakniv I already own. I'm looking at some small portable DMT diamond sharpeners with multiple grits...

    Bring sharpener for fixed blade or ditch it for a Havalon?

    Hey y'all, Thanks for any input. I'm hoping for advice for a backcountry kit for boning out a mule deer. I want to go very lightweight as I'm hunting far out there but don't want to sacrifice my ability to do a good, thorough job. It will be my first time butchering a deer and I want to do it...

    Favorite Game to Eat

    Pronghorn is the tastiest wild game I've had, to date. Makes great sausage. But then again, adding pork fat to things seems to be a winning strategy in general.

    Favorite Lead Free 6.5CM round in your Tikka T3x lite?

    Hey y'all, First of all, thanks for your input. I'm hunting in CA so need lead free reccomendations only. I've shot a few brands of rounds through my T3x lite in 6.5 creedmor at this point and have had mixed results. The Nosler 120g ET didnt seem to group as well as the Barnes VOR-TX LR 127gr...
