I was wondering if any of you guys could give some advice on how my rifle's load is going to react to higher elevations. The rifle is a 300WSM shooting 180 grain Accubonds (Standard) at 2927fps muzzle velocity. I chose this node because it was much more consistent and forgiving than the higher...
I just wanted to give anyone in the market for a new rangefinder a bit of advice after an experience I had today. I have owned a Sig Kilo 2000 rangefinder since summer of 2017. This unit had very little use and up until last week, had the original battery still installed. Last year I had some...
I have been a right handed shooter my entire shooting life. I am also right eye dominant. I am going through some vision changes right now that couldn't have come at a worse time. I have an elk hunt planned for next month and am losing my clear vision in my right eye. My solution is going to...
Last year I decided it might be wise to start buying points in a few more elk hunting states. I ended up buying a point for Montana since I read that a general tag is no longer a guarantee. This year, I logged on to read a little more about the points and seen a stipulation that if you do not...
Does anyone know what the deal is with this company. I became a fan of their bullets years ago when I started shooting flintlock muzzleloaders. I had a small supply before they stopped making them and was just about to run out when I read that they were going to start offering them again out...
I have read posts like this here in the past, and found them very informative, so I figured I would post up my experiences with my new gear from this season and to hopefully help a fellow member out in the same manner this site has helped me. I did not get to hunt last season due to an...
Kind of an offshoot of the "Must Have" Kifaru thread, but a little more item specific. I currently have a Kifaru Lite frame, Reckoning bag, OGL, a Grab-it, and a few pouches. When I purchased all this gear, my plan was for future DIY Western Elk hunts, but also possible use for Eastern...
I know there are some experts on here when in comes to finding deals. I also know that I have missed out on a lot of them by not educating myself before I buy. With that said, I am going to purchase a pair of Keen hiking shoes. I currently wear Merrells but want to give Keen a try. Are any...
After reading and watching videos for 3 years now, I am finally convinced I need to upgrade my pack. I have decided to go with the Kifaru lite frame paired with the Reckoning bag and some accessories. I am primarily a whitetail hunter that likes to get off the beaten path and dragging deer is...
Sorry for another sleeping bag thread but I didn't want to hijack someone else's. After doing a backcountry hunt, I told myself I would have a lighter rifle and a warmer sleeping bag for my next trip. I have a few options for the rifle, but have been looking at the bags a lot. I am a side...
As long as I’ve been a hunter, I’ve wanted to hunt elk. Being from Pennsylvania any real chance of hunting them requires a lot of travel. My dream elk hunt was always a drop camp hunt on vast public land. This past season, I finally got to do it. The trip was 2 years in the making but I think we...
There is a big bull now on camera that looks like he is in bad shape. It's amazing how the rut beats these animals down. I thought he was gonna die a few minutes ago. Now he's laying in a puddle.
