    Weatherby is circling the toilet bowl

    will always be a supporter of and loyal to weatherby, especially the mark V lineup. Might be dated with some of the new offerings on the market, but weatherby calibers still have their place and have been at the forefront in performance for decades. My memories hunting with them are some of my...

    300wsm ? New to reloading

    No, I had my rifle built around this bullet. The gunsmith developed the load. I’ve shot Barnes for years with great results in all my rifles. Norma brass, 64.5 gr RL17, 215M primers, 168 gr TTSX 0.025 off lands. I’m getting 3150 fps with effective spread of 12 fps.

    300wsm ? New to reloading

    I’m a dinosaur but I’m partial to Norma brass and RL17 for my 300 wsm. I prefer the 168 gr Barnes TTSX bullet which goes against the current trends of bullet weights. That said my definition of “long range“ is 600 yards max with this setup. Its generally fit for purpose for my needs and is...

    Which optic for glassing

    Yes the NLs are next level for sure especially on a tripod. I am leaning towards taking them over my 15x56s as i will also have my spotter with me. But the 15’s also have their advantages. Sometimes having too many options is more trouble than what it’s worth. Where and how I hunt is all spot...

    Kyrgyzstan Ibex Hunt Travel Help

    Not the end of the world. See if you can go to Ala Archa park and take a hike up there, beautiful country. For dinner look at Supara or El Toro. There is not a whole lot to see in Bishkek in my opinion. Don’t be out alone late at night. if you're bringing trophy back with you, you’ll likely...

    What hunting conventions do you plan on attending?

    I would say WSF if only going to one show and you’re looking specifically for sheep and goats. GSCO is losing flavor and not as many outfitters attend that show. No further comments required about this “conservation“ organization.

    How do you justify sheep hunting?

    Look at mid Asian ibex hunting in either Kyrgyzstan or Tajikistan. I’ve heard rumors Kyrgyzstan is closing hunting in 2023 for three years though…. Also look at New Zealand for Tahr/chamois without helicopter support

    How do you justify sheep hunting?

    I have been fortunate to have been able to do a lot of sheep and goat hunting in the prime years of my life where I could physically enjoy the experiences. I work so I can hunt sheep and have other life experiences that I am passionate about. I made a decision to invest money in experiences...

    Full zip Peloton 240 vs strongfleece 280

    I have used both. I find the 240 covers more range of conditions, mainly because it cuts the wind better.

    Unfilled Tag on Guided Sheep Hunt

    Yep I didn’t get my desert sheep in Mexico nearly a decade ago. Was not from lack of trying or effort. We hunted hard and even extended the hunt for a few days longer but didn’t see a legal sheep. Big names have hunted the area just the previous years and the area had 100% success rate up...

    Sheep Show

    Share the same sentiments but if one can get past that, then it’s good to experience at least once. its great if you are looking to book a hunt and have a short list of outfitters you want to vet or catch up with the ones I have hunted with in the past. I don’t go to the events as not my scene...

    Forloh Clothing?

    its certainly a consideration with any product I buy as i predominately backpack hunt where weight does indeed matter.
