Ruger Bolt Cracked!
I have a gen 1 in .308. Was incredibly difficult to close the bolt on a round. Sent it back. They decided to destroy that rifle and issue a different one. I haven’t heard much on bad QC, but it seems there are some stories here and there. -
A little humour for your day
A few points: Day drinking was socially acceptable, if not outright accepted. Drinking age laws were lower and usually ignored. Alcoholism was fairly rampant. A lot of the vets from that era had “hunting accidents”. I’d rather go to war than deal with some of my exes. -
Catch All Fishing Thread
Elk hunt didn’t pan out as hoped, but the consolation prize was fighting 30mph winds to fish a new river. Two hours, 10 fish on dries- even a couple whiteys.

Dogs are Hunting Partners - Let's see 'em
I need to take some more recent photos, but this is Ellie. Currently a year and a half. Loves to hike, chase birds, terrorize the corgi, and be an absolute psychopath. Two photos from last fall- a fun little hike where she got an ear infection from swimming in one of the lakes, and her first...- R.K.

Montana Mule Deer Mismanagement
I’m all for mandatory harvest reporting. Been saying it is the only way to get appropriate data for a while. I’m just unfamiliar with how best to enact that change. Ballot initiative? Wildlife commission? Send a bottle of wine and a card to GG? -
