Dry in Nevada this year. But deer to be found
Which general part of the state are yall? Been watching most of these systems forming over CO/UT/WY but doesn't seem like any early summer rains for most of NV -

Wyoming phorn results tomorrow?
Point creep seems to have been wild this year. Not necessarily one of the "screw WY and its state governed big game racket" guys, but for anyone just now getting into the point building game, be aware that tags are going to be a LOT harder to come by in preference point states than any of these...- oxn939

Knight ultra lite
This seems as legitimate as Knight's customer service :ROFLMAO: In all seriousness OP, Knight rifles are cool and well made but the company doesn't really exist anymore. The pricing of these firearms now should take into account the fact that there is no warranty and getting parts for repairs/...- oxn939

10 Point Cow Hunt
All the responses on here criticizing the idea of burning points on a cow tag are crazy work. Think about it this way- with 5 points in CO, you can get a mediocre bull tag that will have lots of other hunters. Or, you can get a cow tag in one of the most beautiful parts of the Rockies that you... -

Private pilot's license
Discovery flights are a great idea. While you're on them, pay close attention to the mannerisms and instructional style of your CFI. It's something like 80% of CFIs who are current have had their rating for less than a year. Not saying there can't be good fresh CFIs, but I personally wouldn't...- oxn939

New to ML hunting
100%. Take a normal setup like my T/C Encore pushing a Thor 250 at 1750 FPS. That projectile has lost fully half its kinetic energy by 150 yards. I could normally care less about this kind of stuff, but it's outright irresponsible to preach to the general population that 300 yards is a...- oxn939

New to ML hunting
Funny. This debate comes up on here or the slide every few years. It's always the same script... someone points out how silly it is to shoot at a game animal with irons beyond 200 yards, and the long range ML competition crowd comes in with charts and claims of experience to demonstrate their...- oxn939

Bumping this again after a zero issues with a Leupold. Anyone got a Kahles 2-7 sitting around they want to turn into cash? -

Hammer vs Barnes question???
Interesting. Guess the question is whether bullets sitting at a stable temperature would ever harden, and if so, how long that would take. Anyone a metallurgist on here?- oxn939

The caribou hunt that almost wasn’t
Unfortunately, your assessment is spot on. The Sag is a cash cow these days with the insane demand for caribou hunts- my buddy flew over the last week of August and said camps averaged about a half mile apart in some sections. There's still some cool river hunting in the state, but it's usually...- oxn939

Hammer vs Barnes question???
Yep. Exit wound on my elk this year. 80ish yard shot, 120 grain Hammer Hunter via 7mm-08. Second elk I've killed with a round that is "way too small" for 600 pound animals Interesting. Never heard of copper age hardening, and Google says that's not a thing. Do you have experience with this?- oxn939
