    Vets refusing to work on hunting dogs

    I have had no problem with my vet. My problem is with my dentist. Every time I go there he wants to get me in the chair and then start interrogating me for info on good hunting spots. Has even shined that bright light in my face a couple of times. Kind of dread going for my annual.

    Davis Go Tent experience question

    First of all I would suggest you call Taylor at Davis. He is the one that has worked with the Go Tent the most and could answer that question the best. I have the traditional pole system because when I bought mine they did not offer the angle kit setup for the Go Tent. Here are my thoughts...

    The do it all self-defense pistol

    With regard to the original post: I am sorry but my needs differ enough so that there is not any one pistol that will take care of it all. I have a Glock 17 (9mm) that is a true combat pistol. I carry it when I am in Black Bear and Mountain Lion country. I use Underwood 147g +p hard cast. I...

    Idaho Whitetail - Rattling

    I have rattled in Whiltetail in Idaho and Montana, but it has always been in November. I am here in Northern Idaho all this week. Will bucks respond to rattling or is it too early in the season?

    Did Something Stupid and Dangerous On My Bench Today

    Okay. Got it. So, I was never in any danger of accidentally chambering a round and pulling the trigger.

    Did Something Stupid and Dangerous On My Bench Today

    That is what I was wondering. As you said, Weatherby rifles all have a free-bore. I was wondering if the free-bore would have allowed me to chamber the cartridge. I would then have pulled the trigger and tried to cram a .264 bullet down a .257 bore. Which could have gotten ugly. Now in...

    Did Something Stupid and Dangerous On My Bench Today

    Okay, before you start with the hate let me say that I know I screwed up. I have reloaded for 14 years and spent many hours reading and watching videos made by expert reloaders. I reload for 222, 22-250, 243, 257 Roy, 260 Rem, 270, 308, and 300 Win Mag. I do not consider myself to be an...

    .277 cal 110 Accubonds

    I would recommend trying Ramshot Hunter powder. This will sound crazy buy I have had the 110g Barnes TTSX up over 3500 fps. I found a nice accuracy node down around 3420 and figured that was plenty fast and would be easier on my brass. I have take two Idaho Whitetail with that 110g Barnes...

    Secure Storage - Powder, Primers, and Bullets

    This is locking and is a LOT cheaper than buying another gun safe. I could drill some holes in the back and secure it to studs in the wall. Would it be secure enough and sturdy enough to discourage a burglar???

    Secure Storage - Powder, Primers, and Bullets

    I have a home security system, but still securely store my firearms in a safe. What about my reloading components? I got to taking inventory the other day of my powder, primers, and bullets and wonder if maybe I should start locking them up too. The only thing I can think of is to buy another...

    Lack of Tent Oxygen - Can't Sleep

    I have had that same problem, but mine was not lack of oxygen in the tent: A change in elevation is a common trigger for insomnia. All you have to do is read about altitude sickness. Previously when I would go on backpacking I would hike into elevation 7-9000 feet higher than what I lived...

    Hunting in Griz Country— handgun or bear spray?

    If all you have is the 9mm that is what I would carry. This would be my choice of ammo: https://underwoodammo.com/9mm-luger-p-147gr.-flat-nose-black-cherry-coated-hard-cast-hunting-ammo/ This bullet in the +P is going 1100 fps. Since the bullet is coated standard barrels can fire it. While...

    Anyone call/bring in blacktail or black bear?

    I have rattled in and killed a Whitetail in Idaho in November. I have never really tried rattling for Blacktail or Mulies here in Oregon. Would bucks respond to a fawn bleat or rattling in October?

    Truck stolen from dealership

    Forgive me if this has already been stated: Most states license car dealers and require them to carry a Garage Keepers insurance policy. A dealer's license cannot obtained without proof of this coverage. Garage Keepers covers a non-owned vehicle that is in the insureds "care, custody, or...

    Miller beer

    I don't now what to say. When I was a rebellious teenager I would sneak off with my friends and drink beer almost every Friday night without my parents knowing. Back in those days I would drink Michelob or Henry W, but I always hated the taste of Millers. Have not had a Millers in over 40 years.

    I wish DB Cooper was a member of this forum. He could give some really meaningful input on this thread.

    Guiding & Making a Living

    I would love spending all that time in the back country. The thing that I would struggle with is you have a complete stranger that has a rifle. I have seen guys that consider themselves hunters that seem to know NOTHING about gun safety and have done some reckless things in the woods. I hunt...

    Room Temperature When Reloading

    Lets face it. Reloading is a precision oriented hobby. My reloading bench is out in our attached garage. Right now if you were to walk out into my garage the air temp would be approx 50 degrees. I can easily warm that up some with a space heater but all of my tools and components are going...

    Wyoming Resident App Strategy

    I live in Oregon, but have done considerable research into the the Wyoming Elk units due to the fact that my wife and I are wanting to leave Oregon and relocate to WY. To be honest, many of the General units in Wyoming are better than controlled units in Oregon that take 2-4 pref points to...
