    Leopold vx5 problems

    I put a 3-15x44 firedot on a 280AI last year and I’m very pleased with it thus far. For my use on a deer rifle, I’ve not seen anything else in its price range that is even close. That said, I rarely dial a shot and it might see 20-30 rounds a year if that. It rides to/from my hunting spots in...

    Pig in the ground

    We did it a lot when I was growing up but eventually came to the reality that the meat is much better when cooked above ground on a smoker.

    Affordable cooler for a boned out elk?

    The biggest problem I’ve had with coolers is all I’ve bought leak rain into the cooler. I want one I can haul around in the pickup bed until needed that doesn’t leak.

    Why cant people accept the fact that some people dont need a drop tested scope?

    I drop test my VX5HD frequently this time of year. I pull the trigger and the deer falls, scope passed. That’s good enough for me.

    Limited "spirits" in Jamaica?

    The wife and I have vacationed all over Jamaica many times, with Couples Negril bring my favorite spot. They have a lot of local rums but don’t know about Captain Morgan. If he’s that particular probably best to bring his own. Try the Bob Marley while you’re there.

    NF SHV 3-10x40mm Q&A

    Wish they would do a dim illuminated dot instead of the crosshair.

    What is the current best scope on the market?

    If I had $2500 to spend, there is only 1 choice, the S&B Polar T96. https://www.eurooptic.com/756-911-72D-SB-3-12x54-Polar-T96-SFP-D7-Illuminated-Posicon-.aspx

    Ever mess up a ten yard shot?

    I emptied my quiver one time at small buck underneath my stand when I first started how hunting. Never touched him. Had to stand up and yell to run him off. Shit happens. 😟

    Alpaca wool is better than merino.....

    I wear Darn Tough socks exclusively, daily. I have a drawer full of them. Never noticed any odor whatsoever. But yep, they do wear out and I send a shipment every year back to Darn Tough on warranty. They issue a credit which I use to order more socks. Can’t ask for better service on a garment...

    When do you hood when layering?

    No hoods here except on the rain jacket, which I rarely wear. I prefer to use beanies, neck gaiters, and my FL Tundra Balaclava when it gets really cold.

    Jacket Suggestion

    So having a hard time making up my mind. I have a HH rain shell I could use, but would need to get a mid layer to work with it. I think I’d get more use out of the Jetstream though because I almost never need a rain shell. What will be warmer, the rain shell with something like the nano puff or...

    Jacket Suggestion

    The Jetstream looks pretty sweet. I’ll see if I can find one to try.

    Jacket Suggestion

    Sorry, I should have been more clear, not looking for camo or hunting jacket. More so just an every day, light jacket, to use as a do-all outer layer that is waterproof and wind proof. Was hoping to use find something for a sightseeing trip to Iceland in September as the outer jacket.

    Jacket Suggestion

    I’m looking for a fairly light good quality jacket that is waterproof and wind proof. Not really looking for a straight shell but something with thin fleece lining on the inside for a little warmth. I bought a Helly Hansen Crew Midlayer and it’s perfect except one thing. It’s about 6” too short.
