    Checking zeros with a laser boresighter??

    The trouble with this is repeatability with the placement of the laser. Some are better than others. For instance, the lasers that you jack into the chamber are better than those you slide into the muzzle, but I would question how precise and repeatable the results are with those lasers. They're...

    BYU or University of Utah for daughter?

    I don't know that this is necessarily accurate. For the record, I'm not a BYU guy, but I know a number of people with degrees from there, and they do well in the workforce. Their Chem-Eng. program places a lot of graduates in high-paying petroleum industry jobs, which are very competitive. Not...

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    Montana Wildlife Federation, seeing as how you live in Montana. They appear to be similar to the Idaho equivalent, which I have been impressed with.

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    The term has been hijacked by progressive leftists. The left is not the least bit liberal in the classical sense.

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    All I know is Land Tawney is a leftist shill, and at least here in Idaho, I rarely see BHA's name brought up in actual cases of land access issues. We have had some significant cases in recent years and the only time I see their name on anything is if it's a pint night or Rendezvous (where the...

    Anyone want to talk some sense into this guy?

    Prior to settlers of European descent, there were indigenous peoples who also hunted the elk, deer, moose, and bison. They didn't have biologists and wildlife managers to control the take of game animals either. Human hunters have been a part of the calculus from time immemorial.

    Western state living

    If decent wages are a priority, count ID out. We're good at a lot of things, but competitive pay is not one of them.

    Hunting after Achilles’ tendon tear

    I detached my achilles playing football in high school. I would say it healed better than 90%, aside from a slight loss in range of motion long term. I made the mistake of being too ambitious too early, however, and found myself favoring that ankle during practice/games. That led to a series of...

    Pocatello Idaho

    This is the honest truth. Also, we only have dial-up internet, no indoor plumbing and you have to hand pump your gas. You'd probably hate it.

    Jeep Tire Suggestions?

    For that kind of duty, I wouldn't hesitate to put on some super swampers. The TSL's have always been a popular pick for mixed terrain, but if you're mostly in mud, the boggers might be more suitable. They will be noisy on the road and will wear faster than others if you're on pavement a lot, but...

    Trail Etiquette Dispute results in arrest

    In all my life, I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to back up on a narrow mountain road to find a place to pull off and let someone through. The whole backing up thing is borderline irrelevant. There is almost never a time that you can't find somewhere between the two vehicles...

    Trail Etiquette Dispute results in arrest

    I don't know how you all do it in Washington, but in Idaho, uphill has the right of way. If there's one thing a trucker hates worse than stopping on a downhill, it's starting again on an uphill.

    Investing after a home sale. Where to put the proceeds?

    I would pay off consumer debt, establish an emergency fund for a couple months expenses, then put the rest towards the principle on your home. Open a line of credit with the bank if you think you might need more money at some point, but getting out of debt is the first step to generating wealth...
