    Tikka 22-250 1 in 8 twist with light bullets?

    @Formidilosus I have an older tikka 22-250 with what I assume is the slower twist rate (1:14?). I bought some 77 tmks for it. Should I expect them to tumble/not work at all?

    How often do you find unrecovered animals?

    We usually have a wounded buck run onto our property in Texas and die each year. Sometimes find them still alive. Sometimes with rotting wounds. Most of them we find like that seem to be shot in the neck.

    Duck Call for Locating Turkey

    I hunt near DFW too and our turkeys get fired up when we duck hunt nearby. Makes for some fun hunts. They gobble at the calls, at the shot, and when you blow the dog whistle. That said, I haven't found locators work nearly as well here as they do in the east during the spring for whatever...

    Pants for a Tall Skinny Guy

    I'm 6'7", 200 lbs (very thin legs) and love the timberlines. I should wear above a 36" inseam but the timberlines do great.

    razco/glock 20?

    I carry a g20 in my razco on an FHF and like it because I can get it cinched up high enough to be comfortable. Tried it on an AGC and it sagged so much i couldn't stand it. Mine has a light on it and weighs a little more for what it's worth.

    Extra Low Talley’s with Tikka/VX5 combo?

    I put a vx-5 on lows on mine as well and I wouldn't try the extras.

    Stone Glacier Sky 5900

    I pack too heavy and can't get 10 days in mine. If you're packing for 10 days, what's the harm in using the load shelf for food?

    Trapping success pics

    Had a pretty good run lately with the hogs. Different kind of trapping but good to get these guys killed.

    Tikka lovers

    What have you done to fix it so far? Scope, scope mounts, action screws? I haven't had to upgrade anything on mine, so can't tell you what aftermarket add-ons would help, they just seem to shoot to my expectations (not PRS) from the box.

    2 person floored tent for tall people?

    I'm 6'7" and I use the MSR Hubba Hubba NX. I don't have much extra length, but it's enough. Not the lightest, strongest, or cheapest, but does check a lot of boxes.

    Danner Pronghorn?

    I went through 3 pairs from 2010 to 2018. They were ok for deer and bird hunting, but wore out surprisingly quickly and were never warm (always dry though). As soon as I went into the mountains I started sliding around like crazy and they tore my feet up. My brother has worn them for the same...

    Big bore air rifles - anyone hunt with them?

    I shot a small texas whitetail with a suppressed .300 blackout subsonic 220 gr bullet this year from 30 yards. Had to chase her down and shoot her a bunch more times. Hated it. I hope the pellets are better designed than the slow bullets.

    Tract Toric 3-15x

    I've been shooting one with the BDC reticle on my .270 now for the last couple years and like it a lot. The reticle is pretty thick but that's helped me for quick shots and low light situations. Banged it around in the truck, planes, and through heavy brush and haven't had any issues with losing...
