    Savage or Howa

    I have 0 experience with Savage, but I love the 2 Howa’s I own. Both are very accurate and I’ve had no issues. My one dislike is the magazine release on the mini. It’s very easy to hit by accident. That got replaced with bottom metal. The name of the company escapes me at the moment but it was...

    Still in velvet?

    It was my first sit on a new property so I let him walk. If I see him again and he’s still that way then I’ll hopefully get a shot at him.

    Still in velvet?

    In the stand this morning, had a 2.5 year old 6 point wandering around that was still in velvet. There were also 2 spikes with him but they were both hard antlered and making scrapes and rubs. The 6 did not exhibit any of that behavior and was easily intimidated by the bigger of the two spikes...

    Always, always check your tree stand for any possible issues. Had a cable break today when I was in the stand.

    This happened to me yesterday morning. I turned around to face the tree and when I stepped back towards the front of the stand, the cable on the right popped. Scary couple minutes trying to get my pack, bow, and me getting out of the stand wondering if the other side was going to hold. That’s...

    Where would you aim?

    I 11 with the bow. Maybe a square or two back with a rifle to minimize damage to the shoulder

    Are you ready?

    I think I’m the most prepared I’ve ever been. I’ve dropped 50 lbs in the last 8 months and I’m probably in the best shape I’ve been in for the last 15 years. Bow is dialed and ready to go. The last thing I need to do is to pick up freeze dried meals and portion out food into separate days.

    Prana - Zion vs. First Lite Corrugate Guide pants

    I now have both versions of the Zions and the FL Guide pants. The new set of Zions just showed up today as a matter of fact. I prefer the Prana’s over the FL for anything before November here in VA, and I’ll probably wear the new Zions to hunt elk this year. The cut of the Prana’s around my...

    What gear are you looking to buy before this fall?

    I know the feeling! I wanted to upgrade some clothing this year but ran across a rifle I just couldn’t pass up. I still need all my VA license/ tags and an elk tag too

    Water filtration setups?

    Katadyn Base Camp 10L. Easy to fill out of the creek and have a fitting to connect into my bladder. Drops as back-up

    Kimber rifle accuracy- Post MOA guarantee

    I have a Hunter in 6.5 that will shoot MOA with the proper technique from the bench and letting the barrel cool between shots. I think the barrel being hot has as much or more to do with groups opening up

    Kimber Model 82 Scope Rings

    I just picked up a Kimber 82 A action and was wondering if anyone knew what Leupold mounts would fit that receiver? I’m guessing it either the 11mm or 3/8”. Most of what I’m finding on the rimfire forums is for the government model, not the standard bolt action. Thanks

    What do you carry in that backpack??

    Same here. Typically the only thing in my pockets is a can of dip in each cargo pocket. Why two you ask? When you accidentally drop one from the climber you don’t have to shuffle all the way back down to get it. I have started carrying my frame with just a Sherman pocket for bow season. Fits...
