Tikkas and Suppressors
The end result isn't all that matters... I've shot well over 100 deer with .223's, .30-30's, .308's, 6.5's, and bigger guns and had clean kills with all of them but there is a difference in typical performance and likelihood of deflection/disintegration, or penetration issues of any particular... -
Tikkas and Suppressors
The can would live on this rifle for sure. I have no intention of using it without the can so POI shift doesn't really matter to me. I do think that I would utilize a stubby brake to mount the can rather than a step up adapter. I hunt a lot with my kids so I have zero interest in shooting a... -
Tikkas and Suppressors
The cow elk in my picture was killed with the creed. I don't doubt its effectiveness but also understand there is actually a measurable difference between a 147 grain bullet at 2750 fps and a 190 grain bullet at 2900 fps... -
Tikkas and Suppressors
I have used my rifle in the mountains but would like to have a more potent round than the 6.5 creedmoor and shaving 2 or 3 pounds wouldn't hurt my feeling either! -
Tikkas and Suppressors
I am new to the suppressor game and currently have a Harvester EVO that I run on my 6.5 creedmoor whitetail rifle which has a heavier contour barrel. I am also looking to setup a better rifle for mountain hunts and was hoping you guys who run Tikkas could provide some input. I am looking at... -
Which barrel company do you use
I have only bought one aftermarket barrel so not a comparison but I have an all steel bartlein on my 6.5 and it has shot lights out since the first round. -
Favorite Sign
Hoof tracks hands down. Rut sign is cool but there is so much more information to be gained from tracks. Direction of travel, size of deer, age of sign, etc. Big tracks are made by big deer every time!- NateK

quick skull cleaning for traveling
Check the regs for all of the states you will be traveling through. Our local game warden recommended that after we clean up the skulls as well as we could we soaked in a high percentage bleach solution for 30 minutes and then wrap/tape up in a contractor bag so if we got inspected the bleach...- NateK

Packing service near Denver
Anyone have a contact for an outfitter etc. that may offer packout service in the Lost Creek Wilderness Area southwest of Denver? Trying to determine what my options are for a rifle tag I have for later in the year. -
Trad archery friendly bear over bait hunt?
I have not personally hunted with this guy but based on some stuff I've heard from him he would probably be on a short list for a trad baited bear hunt. https://stickflingers.com/ -
Tripod for glassing and shooting
Who has completely switch from Bipod to Tripod for backpack hunts? Which tripods and heads have you had good success with that make a decent compromise between stabilizing a 9ish pound rifle for shooting and still not weighing as much as a range/PRS style tripod? Now that my kids are starting... -
Wrestling a Grizz to the death
Sit down and butt scoot towards the bear. No one wants to fight a guard puller and that includes bears. Triangle choke is probably a bad call considering you would need to be able to wrap a leg around a brown bears neck and shoulder... -
2021 failures, close calls, and lessons learned
If you are coming from back east like me elk are farther away than they look... Shot low on a bull that should have been a gimme but missed the range by almost ten yards.
