    Budget .308 bolt action recommendations

    You mentioned not liking the axis, but I’ve been extremely pleased with my savage model 11. Not sure if it has the same bolt throw or not. You can find them used online for under $500.

    Potential Oregon Record Roosevelt

    Congrats! Had my first close brush up with elk this blacktail season. Pretty cool experience. I’ve never tried hunting them though, mostly because the pack out is intimidating as all get out. A nice small bull like that, though, seems much more manageable. Just might have to give it a go next...

    LA Authorities Encouraging Nutria Harvest

    I was talking about where I am in Oregon. I have no idea what it’s like in LA

    2026 WY Veteran’s hunt?

    I’d love to participate as a hunter, being 100% T&P rated. Only catch is I don’t have any family in WY, so I’m a little SOL on that front.

    Grouse! Let’s See Them

    Just bagged my first one tonight! Took it with my Rossi brawler. Carrying this thing when deer hunting finally paid off hahaha.

    Ask your onX Hunt questions here!

    Question: The “no public access” in this parcel; does that apply to the entire property, or just to the road? I’ve never seen this marking before. Generally this timber co is open to access, and the way it snakes along the road makes me think it’s talking about the road exclusively.

    Poll - One all around single cartridge under conditions

    Chose the 6.5CM because of the mention of shoulder issues. That said, 308 & 6.5CM are the only two on that list that I’ve shot, so they’re the only two I could really speak to.

    Antique gun display

    Man, if I wanted to be single again, this is how I’d do it. That room is awesome!

    Oregon Elk Poachers Sept 6 2025

    Sadly, even at $1000/ 4 pp, I doubt many will come forward with useful tips. Hope I’m wrong.

    Your Close Calls

    I’ve used these ones for years to great effect so long as you’ve done the prep work with the kindling. They’re great because you don’t need an additional method to light them. https://a.co/d/5sHScFD

    Your Close Calls

    Nearly impaled myself on a sharp limb of a fallen tree 2 years ago. I was still hunting through some reprod, the ground was covered in waist-high ferns; couldn’t really see when I was stepping. Predictably, I take a step and go right off a 3ish foot drop off. Get up and gather my senses and...

    How heavy are your day packs?

    Mine is about 15-20# and that stays pretty consistent. I’m rarely going more than 1.5-2 miles from the car, rather just walking closed logging roads until they deadend. So I only carry 1L of water, and have a life straw if things get that far. Shooting sticks, tripod chair, kill kit, headlamp...

    Dog Broke Leg 7 Miles In

    Hoping for a speed recovery for Boulder! But holy cow, covering 7 miles at 10?! My dogs are 10 & 11 and struggle to make it 1 mile through the neighborhood anymore.

    Leaving deer where they lay

    Being a YouTuber doesn’t make them exempt from the law. Report them.

    Good and bad days at the range

    I’m figuring to look into a suppressor whenever the $200 tax stamp goes away. I think that’s after new years? Just as well, my barrel isn’t threaded and it’ll cost about $200 to get it done.
