    Shorty Hunting Rifle Chambering?

    Since you mentioned the 375 raptor; there might be dies available. Check with CH4D. They sell out quick, which shows demand, but also hurts availability. LEE might be making a run of raptor dies in the future, but I'm waiting to hear back on that. PT&G had headspace gauges available last...

    16" suppressed elk gun

    We have hunters that lease our land. The pheasant hunting isn't the greatest right now, however the quail seem to be making a comeback. I don't pheasant hunt much. There are a few hunting operations around, though. Ringneck Ranch, Quail Quest, Special T, etc. Its probably more fun to shoot...

    Yeah, I had a feeling deer and elk would not be an option. I am in Kansas.

    Hunting/Stuff to check out in Gila National Forest

    I am hoping to get down to New Mexico and visit the Gila National Forest Area. I was curious what affordable hunting opportunities are in the area. Cheap and over the counter tags is what I am hoping for. I am still looking up info, but mountain lion hunting sounds interesting. I...
