    Looking for a new choke...

    I know, another choke question...lol. I'm looking at either a Benelli Mobil Carlsons ported sporting Clay's full .695" or a Kicks HyFlyer "Extra full" .697". If you've used either of these, please share your opinion. I'm shooting ducks on a refuge and right now, they aren't decoying at all...

    Tripod shooting...

    I've done some reading here already which was pretty helpful and gave me several options to look at. Right now, I just have a Primos trigger stick gen 3 with the "V". Works pretty good I guess, but I'm interested in trying something better. I've looked at the javelin bipod davros head and flush...

    Wyoming

    Hey guys, my buddy and I drew this tag this year. This will be my second trip to Wyoming so I basically know what to expect. My main question for anyone that might know, what kind of trophy quality should I expect in this unit? Should I settle for the first decent buck I find or keep looking for...

    $500 scopes...

    I've read the $1000 scope thread. It's pretty good, but I have a few specific scopes I'd like to hear about and I don't want to dilute the other thread with my questions. I'm currently using a Bushnell Elite 3200 Tactical 5-15x40. It's been ok for me, but I'm looking for something a little...

    Which rifle would you take?

    I'm letting my buddy use my 7mm magnum. I have a choice to take a 7 1/2lb Model 70 featherweight in 7mm-08 shooting 120 TTSX's at 3000fps or a 12 1/2lb Savage Model 12 VLP in .243 shooting 105gr HPBT's at 3000-3100fps(Still tweaking the load). I don't think I need to haul 3 rifles across the...

    Tree Stand for Western hunting

    I guess tree stands are pretty much THE way to hunt back East? I've never used one, but I was looking into them and warming up to the idea. Scouting this past weekend and I found some Blacktail bucks that I think are going to be very difficult to hunt without a tree stand in the right spot. Who...

    Frustrated with On X Hunt app....

    Maybe I'm just unfamiliar with the app, but I am pretty frustrated right now. I downloaded the app from the Google play store. Tried it out on the free trial and thought it was awesome. So I subscribe with the "Elite" membership and start downloading maps of my hunt area over Wi-Fi. So I go to...

    Mt. Lion encounters?

    I had what I think is probably a once in a lifetime experience while hunting in the wilderness yesterday! I'm sure many of you have seen a lion while hunting. Who has seen a lion attack or kill something?

    5 days living out of your pack....

    Do you take a spare shirt and pants? Usually I only do 3 days at a time and I don't. I can see changing after 3 days though. I already take an extra pair of socks and underwear as well as a windproof fleece jacket. At this time of year, I leave the matching 3rd layer pants at home. I just don't...

    Carrying bow on your pack...

    I'm using an ILBE which obviously doesn't have a specific bow carrier. I'd like to see what some of you are doing to carry your' bow on your' pack for the hike in. I've used the mortar tube pouches/straps on the sides to carry a rifle but I was looking at it yesterday with my bow and I couldn't...

    Solo archery hunting?

    I'm doing a solo 5 day backpack trip for deer in Aug(Bow hunting). I'm not focusing on bear, but I do have a bear tag. If I do get a shot at a black bear, is it foolish to arrow one alone? What if I have a 9mm as well just in case? I don't like the idea and of course I'd rather have somebody...

    Found these while looking for some goods on Amazon....

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005EKI6ZW/ref=ox_sc_sfl_image_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER Might be worth a try, however I'm going to pass for now as I have some other ideas on my menu to try first. Looks like there are a couple different flavors though. I thought they would work good...

    How long do you think you could survive?

    I think most people here are a lot tougher than the average model. If you and your' family had to leave your' home for good and live in the wilderness for the foreseeable future, how long do you think you could last? I don't meen to sound all paranoid or anything, I just try to be prepared as...

    Recommend me a budget spotting scope...

    I ordered a Redfield Rampage 20-60x80 last week after reading some pretty good reviews on it and unfortunately it showed up looking like this. You can see that the cross section where it broke is pretty thin so I'm not that surprised. Please suggest some options that aren't going to break on the...

    Laser rangefinder or spotting scope?

    I've got a little bit of spending money and I want both, but can only afford one of them at the moment. Which would you go with? I don't have any ranging capability right now and I do have 10x42 bino's and a 20x spotter. I don't even use the 20x spotter after getting my 10x42 Vortex...

    BA Insulated Air Core?

    I'm about to buy one of these and I've found two types. I can only assume that one is an older style? Brown with a brass valve and is 2.5" thick, the other is blue with a plastic valve and is 3.25" thick. I've heard some people say that the valve leaked on this pad? Which version should I get?

    Digi-scope...for a rifle scope?

    pmJust thinking out loud here. Has anybody tried this? Might be usefull for load developement. Throw your' rifle in a lead sled and sqeeze 'em off. Could take the "Shooting"/human element out of it and let you focus on finding an accurate load. Then you can practice after you have your' load...
