    Chronograph in Central Oregon?

    Anybody in the central Oregon area (Bend, Redmond, Prineville) have a chronograph they’d be willing to let me borrow or rent from them for a day? I know I can get one through rent outdoor gear, but I wanted to check here. The budget doesn’t permit the addition of a chronograph at this point, but...

    CWD Field and Stream Article?

    Anybody happen to see this article before it was taken down? It popped up in my google feed and when I clicked on it, it was gone from their site. Weird. I don’t really take field and stream seriously, but I was curious what the hell happened with this.

    Tired of the Pigeons

    Alright we’ve lived in this house for almost 2 years. Purchased brand new and last summer there were some pigeons that moved in and now call my neighbors roofs home. The home builder made just enough of an overhang from the hight roof to the low roof that they now roost there. Our homes are...

    How do I teach my dog to pick up sheds?

    Wasn’t really seeing anything in the thread search I did, but if there is one out there I missed. Let me know. We just picked up an 8 week old Bernese Mountain Dog.

    Starting to put together my build for this winter after hunting season. I’m want to get a new supressor for this build that’s a little shorter than my current silencer central banish 30 gold.

    Why do we buy soft shells?

    Something I’ve been wondering. Why do we buy soft shell jackets? And I say “we” because there’s obviously a market for them. It seems like every time I’ve purchased one, I’ve regretted it because they’re too heavy and not very versatile. Am I missing something on soft shells that I haven’t...

    Put Some Thought into your first aid kit

    Hoping to spark some thought by others. I had the unfortunate experience of cutting my hand to the bone while out on a quick trip this weekend. I was out testing a new shelter and stove in the cold on Thursday night. Friday morning I got up and was getting the stove ripping hot to warm up the...

    Best LRH rifle setup for practice and hunting?

    I’m starting to put together a plan for what I want to change next year on my rifle setup. I feel like I’m in a pretty good spot where I can have some really nice gear, but I have to get there via selling and upgrading things. It’s starting to get to the point that I’m upgrading things every...

    Most Mule Deer Habitat Work?

    What mule deer focused organization is doing the most habitat work? Maybe a better way to ask it is what organization is doing the best habitat work? I’m not one that joins all of the hunting organizations and foundations and I want to focus my dollars on the ones that are doing the most for...

    North American Conservation Definition?

    Maybe I’m paying too much attention to the whiners out there but there seems to be a lot of them surrounding tags and opportunity to hunt. My definition of conservation of big game in North America is that by management methods including hunting we place a value on those animals which requires...

    Reloading and ammo component for dummies?

    Is there a text that exists that will give me an introductory to reloading and ammo selection that’s written for somebody who’s not a rocket scientist? I’ve admittedly learned most of what I know from this forum, but I’m freaking clueless about what things like +p and wildcatting means.

    Code names you’ve used with UPS?

    It seems everytime I go into UPS to ship something they ask me “What are we shipping today?”. I’ve never had any issues, but a few weeks ago a friend from work was shipping a rifle stock and the lady at the desk apparently refused to ship it because it was a “gun part”. Just for fun, what code...

    Sold Vortex Diamondback HP 4-16x42 Dead Hold

    I’ve had this scope sitting for a while and thought I’d get rid of it so I can upgrade something else. I bought it new a couple years ago and had it on a 270 for a little bit. There are some blemishes on the elevation adjustment and the left right adjustment caps but other than that it’s in...

    Edit: Pants are lead not pyrite. I’m an idiot. Selling these timberline pants. Warn quite a bit last season. Just going with a different late season pant this year.
