    Access to public land lost due to hunters using semi-auto rifles

    Think how bad us slow readers must feel.

    But its not about the money

    Reading that article reminds me of Thomas Sowell's quote about how there are no "solutions," only "trade-offs." Wildlife habitat, property-owner rights, and affordable employee housing are all worthy, but sometimes incompatible, objectives. Something has to give.

    A new low recoil deer rifle

    I very much like the idea of shooting some of your buddies' guns to see what the recoils feel like. Everybody has a different definition of "low recoil." When I think of low-recoil deer rifles, the .243 and the 7mm-08 immediately come to mind, but neither are "no recoil."

    Heritage Arms 22 LR / 22 Mag

    I have one and have never had any issues at all with it. It meets or exceeds my expectations for a $119 gun. If I could only buy/own one pistol, this is not the one I'd choose. But since that is not my situation, I'm perfectly satisfied with it.

    How Much Do You Practice?

    I like this strategy. I shoot a decent amount all year with various guns (because it's fun). But starting about this time of year, my "practice" for hunting season mostly involves a lot of hiking with increasing amounts of weight in my backpack. Taking some shots while winded from exercise is...

    Over Crowding in Montana Archery Elk

    You just never know. Overcrowding, whatever that means, is one thing, but don't automatically assume that a few other hunters in the general area will mean you won't see any elk. They can pressure elk away from you, but they can just as easily pressure them to you. When doing your e-scouting...

    Need some advice from you backcountry elk slayers

    My elk-killing experience consists of exactly 2 cows (although both are in the last 2 years), so that makes me an expert. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Lots of good advice in this thread and it's interesting to see the divergence of opinion, so I don't think I add a lot of value when it comes to the two...

    How to defuse a grizzly encounter peacefully?

    Scary story. I think if I had witnessed a grizzly venture off my trail into the woods about 60 yards in front of me, it would take me a while to mount the courage to continue down the trail past the spot where I last saw him. But I agree, I'd be moving the next mile or so with both the spray...

    Rookie antelope question

    Yes! I shot my first antelope last year and he was alfalfa-fed as well. I have freezers full of venison, elk, and antelope and I can safely say that the antelope is the tastiest. If you are looking for a marinade mix, I like to marinade my antelope steaks in McCormick Grill Mates Montreal...

    Is social media hurting the great outdoors experience?

    Bingo.

    Is It Possible To Shoot A .357 With A.22?

    I've been itching to get down to Shedhorn again to, as you say, see what I might need. 😄

    What Hunting Boots do you wear?

    I really like my Irish Setter Vaprtreks. I know the general consensus seems to be that you need a premium boot. I have no experience with boots over $300, so maybe I don't know what I'm missing, but I'm going to keep buying Vaprtreks until they fail me. I hike in my uninsulated ones all...

    Bear Spray or Pistol? Both?

    For me, bear spray on my chest attached to the bino harness, Glock 29 10mm on my hip (holster on hip pad of backpack). I guess I am comforted by having as many options as possible but I hope I never have to draw either one on a charging griz. For those of you with actual grizzly experience...

    How important is it to you to own a Handgun?/ Tangent CAR THREAD

    I enjoy owning and shooting all of my guns, whether they are shotguns, rifles, or handguns and whether they are lever actions, semi-autos, revolvers, pumps, bolts, etc. They are all fun to shoot, they are all fun to look at, and they were all fun to shop for. I suppose most of them are...
