Carnivore Diet Options While Hunting
The sthealth hunter with Ryan Lampers has a few episodes on it and so does the gritty podcast... There are about 4 or 5 of them that do it. They freeze dry a lot of their own stuff. We don't have a freeze dried so we are dehydrating egg bakes and vacuum packing them. We will also cook bacon...- chevyman181

EMERGENCY!!! Returning to the dream of one hunting rifle…
I was always a 7mag guy until I got a 280ai. The AI has been my primary for 10 plus years now. It's built on a savage action, proof barrel, and mdt hunt 26 folder. If I had it to do over again I might get a different chassis but the hunt 26 is not bad... I just want one that folds over the bolt...- chevyman181

Question about savage axis
I'm pretty sure you can get a profit barrel from Northland Shooter supply. They're in the $300-400 range if I remember correctly.- chevyman181

Is the Limb Shift on the new Matthews really that big of a deal?
I guess I've never needed to take a bow into the shop other than new strings every few years. I have bought them at the shop and the shop set them up at initial purchase but that has been about it.- chevyman181

Is the Limb Shift on the new Matthews really that big of a deal?
Hello All, @Twobyfour and myself are in the market for a new bow. I've seen a ton of marketing for the new Matthews with the "limb shift technology." It seems cool but is it really needed? Maybe I have missed something along the way, but in my 30 years of bow hunting, I've never heard of...- chevyman181

Question about felt recoil
Yeah, the rum was exaggerated. I edited the question. I'll play with the calculator posted. I googled a couple of calculators and they didn't show much difference in recoil with change the size of the cartridge and all other factors staying the same. Weight of rifle and projectile, velocity...- chevyman181

Question about felt recoil
How does a person calculate felt recoil? Say all things are the same except the cartridge... 8 Pound rifle, 162 gr 7mm bullet, at say 2900fps, is the felt recoil the same no matter what cartridge is pushing the projectile? 7-08, 280ai, 7mag, 7saum, if they are all in an 8 Pound rifle shooting...- chevyman181
