    Digiscope options?

    After putting it off as long as possible I finally had to update my phone. Before I order the updated phoneskope case to fit, I figured I would see if anyone has an alternative they like. I really only use it 3-4 times a year to films shots when I am rock shooting so I can confirm my hits. It’s...

    Which Tikka replacement bottom metal.

    The mag release spring is giving me some issues on one of my Tikka’s, so I need to swap out the plastic “bottom metal” for a OEM piece or one of the aftermarket pieces. I have not had luck finding a stock part, anyone have a recommendation for one of the aftermarket parts. I am not looking to...

    Free Books.

    Too many paperbacks from the last year jamming up the bookshelves. I was going to drop these at the library, but figured I would offer them here if anyone wants them instead. I will send them all, not going to split them up. I just ask that you pass them along or donate them them when you are...

    Vintage (1949) Browning auto 5

    I know other sites focus on shotguns, but figure I would take a crack here as it’s the only forum I am on. I received a vintage (based on the serial I believe it’s 1949) Belgian Auto 5. Stilly fuzzy on details but I do not think it’s any special model. Has anyone ever shot or played with one...

    Pack-out photos.

    Not sure if this would be better in general discussion but I am going to give it a shot. Anyone here willing to share some interesting pack out photos with some good composition? Much of the imagery I am finding online is less than great. I am a hobby painter and due to some health issues I...

    Fishing in the Bahamas.

    I have a chance to take a two week trip to Eleuthera island this summer in July. I have only fished on the west coast of the US so this will be my first time in the islands/Bahamas. It will be a trip with my larger family (20 ppl +\-) so some other folks may be interested in fishing as well...

    EHD Outbreak.

    Any updates on the EHD outbreak in Nebraska and the Dakotas? Now that folks have had some time in the field, how is it looking? I assume most of the areas have had a freeze now. Are we talking zombie apocalypse, or is it not as bad as it sounded at first. Fingers crossed. Sent from my...

    How do you identify an outfitter?

    Not sure if this is even possible. I have researched an area in Wyoming that I would like to hunt and it appears an outfitter has a tent camp in the area. It’s a bit deep for a backpack hunt so I would love to down drop camp or some sort of guided trip in that spot. Wondering if it’s possible...

    Early post rut behavior?

    So going in the the early end of the post rut. Would you focus on a area where cows are still active with the chance of a few cows still in estrus calling a bull in, or would you avoid the cows and focus on “sanctuary” areas where the bulls may go to recover from the rut. What to do, what to...

    Pro trail Vs Hexamid.

    Has anyone here used the Tarptent Protail and the Z-Packs Hexamid? I currently use the pro trail and every time I look to change, it’s just not worth it. Looking to cut a few more ounces this year. Just not sure if I will go with the ultralight CF Protail or look at something new. I saw the...

    Shooter app & Sig Kilo 3000 not matching.

    I have always used the shooter app to work on my drops with new loads. It has been accurate for me at the longest ranges I am comfortable shooting. I have played with a set of Sig Kilo 3000 for the last year and enjoy them. Just one less step in the shot process. I put together a new load...

    Sawyer Squeeze Alternative?

    Anyone here use a alternative to the Sawyer Squeeze for a small water filter? I use a sawyer squeeze in-line on my hydration bladder. I was about to order a new one and I heard Steve on the Hunt Backcountry podcast bring up a new option, I did not write it down and now I cannot find where he...

    Maxx Traxx, X Bull tracks?

    I have had a few sticky situations over the years and was considering buying a set of these. Anyone here keep some in your truck. Are they useful or just another thing for the overland guys to slap on the side of the jeep. If you do use them, what brand have you had success with cost and...

    Backcountry Pillows

    Who here brings a pillow (inflatable) into the backcountry? Over the years I just rolled up my puffy or fleece and used that as a pillow. Sleep is becoming more important and harder to come by with age, wondering if any of the inflatable pillows are worth it, or just a silly gimmick. Sent...

    Anyone fly with a fishing “kill bag”

    I have flown with hard sided coolers for the last few years but between weight and space they can take up, it’s a bit of a challenge. Ok the coast some folks use large kill bags/soft coolers to keep fish cold on the boat when they do not have a well. I know guys use the hopper and RTIC soft...

    Prefit Barrel experience.

    I have a handful of Tikka’s in the safe. I currently have a smith working on a build and when that is done I am considering re-barreling my win-mag. I can certainly sent it out to the gunsmith for a work up. Problem is, I like to tinker, work on projects and the satisfaction of doing things...

    6x fixed options.

    Any other interesting 6x fixed power options on the market that are worth a look? I hear about the SWFA a fair bit, but wondering if I am missing anything else? Would like a MOA reticle but not looking to dial or if so, not much. Looking to build more of a utility/loaner gun for sub 400 shots...

    Insulated rubber boots.

    Not the usual boot thread, but figured some of the east coast hunters may have input. I use rubber deck boots for Crabbing and at the range when it’s muddy during the winter. But damn if they are not cold. It sucks the heat right out of my feet. Any recommendations for a rubber type boot that...
