    Central Source for Western Tag/Preference Point Cost?

    Does anyone know if there is a free resource that breaks down the cost of applying for deer/elk tags/preference points in all the western states? I found a great breakdown for 2013 elk draws at the link below, but I have not seen anything like this for the 2019 draws. I know I can go and find...

    Model Seven stock options?

    My first gun was a youth model Remington Model Seven in 7mm-08. It has an 18.5 inch barrel and short (youth) wood stock on it from the factory. I have cut and fitted a small block of wood to increase the LOP and added a slide over recoil pad. The current weight without the scope is 6 pounds 15...

    Need a new hunting partner in Northern AL/southern TN

    As many on here have commented on in the past, it is hard to find a good hunting partner. This is a long shot, but maybe I can have a little luck here and find a good partner for future hunts. I have been in Alabama for 2 years now. I have been adapting to the hunting culture here and talking...

    Selling a Swaro SLC tripod adapter. It is in great shape and has never been in the field. The only blemish is where the stud has contacted the adapter base when screwed in for storage. I tried to show this in the images. Asking $57 shipped.

    Rebuilding a Ruger?

    I have a Ruger m77 mark II in 7mm rem mag. I got this gun 16 years ago and the accuracy was great for years with nickel size groups at 100 yards with the right load.

    Peroneal Tendon Subluxation and Tendinitis

    So last summer I injured myself on a long run, and had a lot of pain along the outside edge of my foot from mid foot to mid heel.

    FS: ProMaster Professional Ball Head

    I am selling a ProMaster Professional ball head. It is in perfect shape and has only been used at home and one trip to the gun range. It does have the ability to lock down the ball and pan, and the head is actually pretty smooth while panning. It worked well with binoculars and my smaller 65mm...

Hopefully some of you guys that...

    I am looking to add larger binoculars to my arsenal and I would like some opinions regarding the Swarovski 12x50 EL with swarovision vs the 15x56 SLC. I currently carry 10x42's and an 80 mm spotter. This combo works well most of the time but I find the 10x doesn't do it for me when searching for...
