Cicadas
Experienced a bunch of emergences from different broods. Amazing though sometimes irritating experience. Lasts a few weeks. For all you subsistence types, if you really want to immerse yourself in it, go ahead and hunt some newly emerged and moulted cicadas, rip off their wings and throw in an...- Bullshot

Tough year…new normal!
Most of us do! I continue to bite the bullet in several states, as long as I am getting points and I believe I actually may draw in the long haul. I bailed on NV, its a state I guess I will never hunt. Same with ND. I don’t apply to OR or WA or CA ever, or MT or ID most years. If I ever draw...- Bullshot

I’m good actually. NM kicks me hard each and every year. Totally numb, can’t feel a thing.- Bullshot

Hope today gets better
Yeah and yesterday I went walleye fishing, lost the only fish I hooked, lost my lure on a snag and as I was walking back to the truck, I stepped on a little whip of a sapling that sprung up and snapped me right in the nuts. And I didn’t draw NM tag today either.- Bullshot

Pick a state to become a resident ...
Honestly by the time I’ll be able to move or retire, I fear my hunting will be in its waning days. So WY is probably off the list, 365 living is not for the faint of heart. I’m “only” 48 YO, but kinda feel already that I wasted my life. I was sooooo close… living out of my truck all over the...- Bullshot

Pondering factory loads vs starting loads
Yes, Right. 45/70 suffers from factory loads we all know. And reloaders pushing it in more modern guns is understood as typical. But 8mm mauser is also one of the reasons I started wondering, I know the history of the varying bore dimensions, and millions of old rifles, and thus why they do it...- Bullshot

I'd go back
I can’t say much about times prior to 1975 (was born) but I feel I can say that dishes wrapped in newspapers from after about 1999 probably won’t be the source of much wistful nostalgia in the coming decades.- Bullshot

This has me puzzled
I am fairly new to reloading. First, I am not pushing the envelope on seating bullets out so havn’t had that issue. Do as others have suggested to determine if seating depth with your bullet is the problem. The only problems I HAVE had with chambering have been related to seating with the crimp...- Bullshot

Pondering factory loads vs starting loads
I don’t know why this is sticking in my head today, but reloading wisdom says to start pretty low and work up slowly, that every rifle behaves differently, can’t be too safe, etc. Yet anybody with any rifle has no qualms about loading any factory round from any manufacturer literally having no...- Bullshot
