    Best Cellular game cameras?

    I'm just going with plain alkaline. They last longer than I thought, and it's not worth the premium for lithium anymore. A solar panel would be nice though.

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    1. That's a big brown bear, not a grizzly 2. A 10mm won't feel like a stopper

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    BDL's suck compared to magazines. Same deal except they drop cartridges everywhere when you unload. I grew up on ADL's and BDL's and love having a Tikka magazine :)

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    Timely podcast. Although we don't have bears in Kansas, I've decided to downsize my pistols due to some recently developing hand issues. My new Sig 10mm is going to get traded for either a 5.7x28 or 22 Mag. This will be for home protection and night predator control. Leaning towards 22 mag since...

    I shouldered a Franchi Affinity 3 Select at Scheels the other day, and it felt awesome. Nice wood too. Little heavy for the OP though.

    I'm a slow butcherer...

    Agreed. You can have speed or quality, but both are factors in the final product. If you go fast then you have to be satisfied with more tendon, silver skin, etc in the grind pile. Quality is zero tendon or silver skin. Only the one processing or eating it can decide which way they want to go...

    Benelli 12 gauge Ultralight might be my next gun. Shoulders great for me. The 20 version is REALLY light, almost whippy out front. I have the custom shop version and it's ok but hate the ported barrel.

    Why am I always tired?

    Really, go see a doctor. If at all possible, not a family practice guy, but an internal med doctor. I go every year for a complete physical and doctors love that crap. It makes it so easy to see the trends when your body changes.

    Final Rise - New era of upland vests

    This was my first year with a Final Rise Summit and I love it. My dog seems to run really hot so I wanted to be able to carry lots of water, and this vest works well for that. It's comfortable and I like being able to put a first aid kit on the molle straps outside.

    Looking for good cartridge and budget rifle for 14 y/o

    So you ask a bunch of guys on here who actually shoot rifles a lot, get kind of pissy with most responses, then go with your DUCK hunting buddies answer... :rolleyes:

    Grinding shank meat

    Shanks are awesome. We used to struggle and try to separate chunks of meat out of the tendon, usually ending in frustration and a lot of waste. We started deboning and throwing them in a pot for an afternoon until the cartilage breaks down. They have amazing flavor and my wife (an excellent...

    Have T3x Lite Compact .223 - next up .270 low recoil?

    Yeah, throw a few in the magazine without primers and see how bad they are flinching.

    .17hmr weight

    Accuracy wise, my Tikka prefers the 20 gr. Supposedly, it will give better penetration on coyote sized critters and isn't quite as explosive. I haven't shot enough critters to confirm. Previously, I had a Ruger American and it shot the 17's great. They worked fantastic on ground squirrels and...
