    South Fork Snake River July 2024

    That's an interesting idea I had not considered. Still think I need another person though. Someone has to row while the other person is fishing.

    South Fork Snake River July 2024

    Any SE Idaho or Western Wyoming Roksliders interested in splitting a boat for a one-day guided fly fishing trip on the south fork of the Snake? Date likely July 3rd, but can talk about that. My family and I (myself, wife, two kids, and mom) will be out there this summer and while I will do some...

    Georgia FNG

    Certainly plenty of options to choose from! I like to do a private land hog hunt every year, pretty close to guaranteed meat. That said, not sure it will happen this year.

    Georgia FNG

    Now that's where I need to live, haha. Love it up there. I have a few more days until my account permissions will allow me to send PMs, but definitely expect one. Appreciate it!

    I assume you are in Dalton, given the username?

    Cobb County, specifically Marietta. So northwest part of the greater Atlanta metro area. Would love to be further north. Maybe one day...

    Hogs

    My experience is very limited compared to others on this forum... however, I don't think they are as loud as people think they are. You'll see sign first, then probably see the hogs themselves before hearing them (again, this is pretty limited experience talking). Somewhat depends on the terrain...

    Pinched nerve in neck - cant lift arm

    Good to hear. It's never going to be "normal," my left arm/shoulder certainly isn't. But it ebbs and flows and it's manageable. Just have to be smart; I don't do much overhead lifting at the gym anymore. Fusion surgeries are very hit and miss in my experience so I would agree on trying to avoid it.

    Hogs

    Got this sow last year. First animal I've ever taken with a rifle!

    Pinched nerve in neck - cant lift arm

    I'm sure you've researched by now, but I see this stuff a fair amount so I can help interpret. Nerve compression at C5 and moderate spinal stenosis at C3-4 and C5-6 are fairly significant findings, as is the severe foraminal stenosis. Surprised you only started having symptoms recently. It is...

    Critique My First Rifle Build

    You can purchase the other stock configuration; haven't looked at that so I don't know the cost. But you can run both the precision and hunter stocks on the S20, yes. I do personally like the thumbhole stock, but I might get the other stock eventually.

    Critique My First Rifle Build

    Ended up purchasing the Sako S20 Hunter and Trijicon 3-9x40 Credo last night. Stuck with 6.5 PRC, though the 6.5cm recommendations were well taken (ultimately think I just wanted the PRC, not necessarily rational). Big thank you on the scope recommendation, would not have found that otherwise...

    Georgia FNG

    Hi Roksliders, I posted in the firearms thread yesterday, very much appreciate those of you who helped steer me in the right direction. I am a Georgia resident originally from Oregon, adult-onset hunter. Work as an attorney and coach high school football. Christian family, married with two...

    What do you do for a living?

    Government attorney. Also coach HS football (fall is certainly a busy time, haha). If I got paid enough to coach, which will never ever happen, I'd probably quit the day job.

    Suppressor wait times

    Is there any rhyme or reason to the approval timeline? Longer for your first one? Looking to purchase my first suppressor within the next month and have no clue what to expect.

    Critique My First Rifle Build

    I know Kenton Industries makes them. If I end up doing it, won't be something I do for a while. I have no need to dial for my local hunting. and after getting feedback on this thread, I might wait to do it once I have a specific hunt planned west, as I would then know more about the conditions...

    Critique My First Rifle Build

    Now that is definitely worth a closer look. Thanks so much! I assume the battery power isn't that big of a deal?

    Critique My First Rifle Build

    My understanding (from reading this forum) is that this isn't a huge deal. Threading won't be standard 5/8x24 on the shortened barrel, but I can just run an adapter. I could certainly be off base here.

    Critique My First Rifle Build

    Don't think I'd ever dial in GA, just hold (which is what drew me to the mil reticle). So I would set the turret to environmental conditions for western hunting. But to your point, I don't know exactly what those conditions will be. The west is a big place with a lot of different elevations and...
