    Do you own a scout rifle? Is it worth getting one?

    I didn’t understand the second part of the OP question? Obviously if you don’t own one it is worth getting…. For whitetail in Michigan we are limited use of a strait wall cartridge in my area. So .308 wouldn’t be legal. A 350 legend in an AR platform with a red dot is pretty handy though.

    270 Weatherby, yea or neigh?

    Owned one for a lot of years but have it now at smith getting a 300wm barrel installed. Mine was never better than a 1-1/2” rifle. If I needed the speed I would likely look at 26 Nosler. I do like the MKV action though.

    The Rinella Effect

    Its getting more difficult to find anything to watch. The first hunting show I watched was called the Southern Sportsman and it would air once per week and they would always show a cooking portion of the end of the show where they cooked the harvest. The sponsor was House Autry. I watch...

    Arrow rest

    I went from a ripcord to the hamskea. Both are good rest but once I switched I realized a form issue that I couldn’t notice with the ripcord. If my face applied pressure to the arrow at full draw I can tell with the hamskea - where on the ripcord the launcher arms would hide the form issue and...

    Celestron Nature DX They do not get advertised in the hunting community but bird watchers know a little about glass. They are light weight and great glass and can be found at budget pricing.

    Have 30-06 brass / Need .270

    I was wondering same. I mostly shot 30-06 brass in my .270 for years because of all the range pick up brass I found in 06.

    Axle to Axle Advantages?

    Another consideration is the string angle at full draw. I shoot a longer draw length 30.5 and when at full draw I like to be able to have the tip of my nose on the string in my anchor point. With short axle to axle bows this sometimes isn’t possible based on the string angle. This is now...

    Bogus Movie Hunting Scenes

    Watched the movie “Big Jake” this week. His son Michael makes an impressive 500 yards running shot on a deer offhand. Since he swung the gun in an arc covering about 30 degrees in three seconds by my math the deer was running close to 200 mph. Truly impressive shooting.

    Other hunters at your top spot, what do you do?

    Hunt your plan - last year elk hunting we had a couple guys stop and talk to us about where we were heading vs where they were heading. It was a very mutually respectful communication and kept us from calling each other. So if you get a chance communicate.

    Ultralight Climbers

    I would definitely recommend finding a store that has the saddle setups with the fake tree in the store that allows you to sit in several models. Fit is more important than brand.

    Daughter’s 2023 Muzzleloader hunt

    What is the front sight setup you have? I have a peep rear - but I noticed you have a brake installed and also still have front sight.
