    Tikka T3X Lite SS --- how to remove light rust?

    So last year I got my son his first rifle, a Tikka T3X Lite in stainless steel. He just got back from a successful caribou hunt with his aunt and uncle (awesome). However in spite of teaching my son how to clean and wipe down his rifle after shooting, this did not happen during the hunt. He...

    12x Binoculars: The Perfect Optic For Western Hunting, By Jake Potter

    I too have found that my 12x50 require a tripod, and that when glassing long-range in Alaska that detecting movement (which you cannot do freehand) is key to hunting success. When not in a long range glassing situation, I carry 8x binos. Sobie2

    8x42 Binos around $500???

    If you can find them, the Bushnell Legend M-series 8x42 is ABSOLUTELY amazing, ED glass too. I found out about these from Outdoor Magazine's optics review they came out on top for their category. Amazon had them for also low as $135 when I picked them up 2 years ago for a Dall Sheep hunt...

    Can $200 binoculars possibly be any good?

    From my experiences in Southeast Alaska for Deer, where I live, and the rest of Alaska (Sheep, Moose, Caribou), my Bushnell Legend M-Series have held up, as have my Bushnell Elite 3200, 3500, and 4200 rifle scopes. Rainguard/EXO Barrier works. Mechanicals have been good too. Totally worth...

    Wool pants

    Woolrich or Filson for wool pants are what I use in rainy Southeast Alaska for hunting. Breathes really well and great for shedding water. Sobie2

    Can $200 binoculars possibly be any good?

    Ditto! I have a pair of Bushnell 8x42 Legend M-Series. I took them on a Dall sheep hunt and am very happy with them. I have side by side compared them with my dad's Leicas and they are really really close, so totally with it. I am going to buy either a pair of Legend L-Series 12x50 or the...

    Sheep Meat Processing

    That looks awesome! Also makes me think carne asada sheep would be good too. Sobie2 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    dall sheep hunters...what range?

    This year I was lucky enough to hunt with a buddy who drew a TMA tag. He shot his ram at 378 yds across a draw, for the same position he could have taken another 2 legal but smaller rams at 250yds. Sobie2 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tonight we had Sheep—kababs. Marinate sheep in teriyaki and Montreal Steak seasoning, then assemble your skewers and coat with BBQ sauce, 400 deg for 25 minutes. Sobie2 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Legal?

    Legal, there are lots of tests, stick test, tip test, age rings, gap between horns, thickness or horns, etc. We spent 1.5 hours on our hunt last week looking at 3 legal shooters. Our was well past legal but we still had to look a long time. If you are uphill of the ram legal rams appear...

    Any Experience w/Arc'teryx Beta AR Jacket?

    I bought an Arc'Teryx Beta AR pant and Theta AR jacket when I graduated from college and got my first real job... in 2001! My pants are going on a TMA Dall sheep hunt on Friday and my jacket was sent in for repair at the beginning of summer so I bought another Theta AR (but in Dark Moss color...
