    WTH happened?

    It happened to me once while I was in the Marines. It was a very hot and humid afternoon on Camp Lejeune in NC. I was getting a bunch of required pre-deployment vaccines one after another and I fainted after the 4th or 5th in a row. Luckily a guy caught me as I was falling and I didn't end up...

    MeatEater season 11 drops 10/26 but only on their site

    Reach may not be the most important metric now. Still important, just not their north star metric. I think the Netflix deal was one phase of a longer journey. Being on Netflix gained him a huge audience, made him a household name in a lot of places he wouldn't be otherwise. Now the goal is to...

    The bear usually wins

    Though unnecessary, and perhaps entirely avoidable, if I had to choose between taking my chances with a 10mm to the leg or a grizz mauling I think I am taking the bullet.

    MeatEater season 11 drops 10/26 but only on their site

    Did anybody else notice the content carousel on the homepage of their site went from “season 11 episode 1 - out now! Steve and Evan chase Sitka Blacktails” then rotated to “Steve’s blacktail gearlist” which is a shorter video where he goes over some of the gear he used in the episode and below...

    Eotech Rifle Scopes

    I’ve wondered about this too. I use their HWS on all of my ARs and love them. I get a good discount on their products via ExpertVoice and have been really wanting to try out one of the Vudu scopes. Hope somebody has some real world feedback.

    “Short” Barrels, why not?

    I’m a 284 guy. My primary rifle is an 18” 7 SAUM. I also have a 24” 7 rem mag. I won’t cut the 7 rem mag any shorter, but mainly because I have the shorter rifle already. Waiting on a Gunwerks 6IX I can use for both. Do the folding chassis like XLR or MDT change the equation? ie would you...

    Can/Should I Make This Into a Duck Pond?

    Really great suggestions all, thank you! I am now even more excited to get into this new place. I like the idea of putting some work into it, seeing what happens, and maybe getting a handful of good shoots out of it per year. If not then hey, at least it gives them a nice spot to hang out where...

    Can/Should I Make This Into a Duck Pond?

    My wife and I just bought a new house with some acreage and there is a small pond on the property. We have only been there a few times so far, but every time I have been there I have seen birds flying in/out of it. I know next to nothing about waterfowl, let alone how to hunt them, but I am...

    Spartan Bipod Feedback

    I have 2, the Javelin Pro Hunt (I switched to the tac legs so now it is basically a Javelin Pro Hunt Tac) and the special edition Veterans one (I think its just a Javelin Lite with different graphics). Like my Kestrel, I carry it a whole lot more than I actually use it. The twist-lock legs are...

    Consistently wrong balistic calculator

    I was getting my butt kicked by a similar issue recently and a friend had to sort me out. I had both the sight height and zero height set, zero height had to be 0. I use the Applied Ballistics app.

    .

    This was my question too. I have only shot that far a handful of times, but when I did I was not able to effectively spot my own impact, even when laying prone with a bipod and rear bag. Shooting across a canyon like that, the wind is likely to be doing different things in different places. And...

    Selway 17 2022

    I took a bull in Selway on opening day. We heard a few others (including what we think was the herd bull mine was the satellite for) and we saw a lot of fresh sign, but the only one we saw all week was the one I shot. Most days we could get one to bugle back at us once first thing in the...

    Elk Stolen in Billings

    I know people want to blame this guy for not bringing it in the room, but I get it. My buddy and I stayed a night in a hotel on the way back from our elk hunt last month. First time I’ve stayed in a hotel with a harvest. I don’t have a canopy on my truck and was worried about it getting stolen...
