    "China bans trade, eating of wild animals in battle against coronavirus"

    It's important to note that a lot of the wild animals being eaten in China, and ones they are worried about carrying the virus, are things like bats, rats, other rodents, scavenger birds, stray/wild dogs, monkeys, etc. The things Americans would never even think of eating. Plus their food/meat...

    About ready to pull the trigger

    Marsupial all the way. I researched forever before purchasing. Below is my 5 star review left on gohunt. I am in no way affiliated with marsupial and I did not get paid. I rarely review items, good or bad, but this harness is now one of my favorite pieces of gear. I've since bought one for my...

    7mm-08 150 gr velocity in short barrel

    I hunt mainly in Idaho, and it's legal. And luckily I plan on using this rifle next season - so I'm getting a jump on things. This year I'm using my 270 win. Thanks! I was thinking of maybe jumping up to 21 or 22 inch barrel if needed.

    7mm-08 150 gr velocity in short barrel

    Thanks for the quick replies. To explain more, I am going to be running a supressor and want to keep shorter barrel length and weight down My hunting buddy runs a supressor and I was with him when he shot his bull elk last year and his antelope this year. And man, it is awesome. Neither of us...

    7mm-08 150 gr velocity in short barrel

    I'm wondering if I can reasonably push a 150 gr eldx or Partition at around 2,750 fps in a 20" barrel? Second, any good recommendations on a lightweight, short barrel rifle for under $1k? Im looking for a short mountain rifle to hunt elk and bhs if I ever draw. Thanks!

    Youth Recoil (at a minimum) Rifle for big game

    I came here to post this same question for the same purpose and saw this thread. My wife is VERY recoil shy, and maybe even more so, muzzle blast sensitive. My oldest son will start hunting soon and is very small frame. We hunt mostly general season hunts near us in Idaho and the mule deer and...

    Protect me from myself!!

    I'm planning to maybe go scouting this weekend. It would be an 8 hour round trip just for a half day of scouting.

    Protect me from myself!!

    Haha, sounds like me. I've seen almost every elk hunting YouTube video posted. That's what I fall asleep to at nights.

    Idaho unit 27 Elk A tag

    I know this is an old thread, but I couldn't help replying to this. I'm from Idaho and have hunted primarily close around me. But for a few years now, I've been researching some new areas to try to hunt, just to switch it up and have a new experience. It seems like for every OTC unit from 1 to...

    Glass setup for backpack hunting

    I guess now that I think about it. Maybe one of us could carry the binos and the other the spotter to split up the weight. I guess in the back of mind i realize there may be a good chance that I'll be on my own if I can't convince a buddy.

    Glass setup for backpack hunting

    Haha!! Yeah, that's what I'm worried about. I've packed out a large cow and a small 5pt bull. But not that far and not a mature bull. That's why I'm trying to enlist my brother and a friend to go with me. We might pitch in and rent a lama to help with packing. The area we will be in can produce...
