    Be Careful Out There!

    I've seen this story a couple of times in the past day or two and thought I'd pass it along. It's a good reminder that things sometimes go sideways in the backcountry and to stay vigilant. This could very well have turned out much differently! Hiker Impales Himself with Trekking Pole Summary...

    NM Federal Land Transfer!

    I'm not trying to argue that the Pueblo couldn't or wouldn't do anything to improve wildlife habitat if they took control. That's not my issue. My issue is that I foresee the public losing access to 10,000 acres of what is now National Forest land altogether. And, as the OP pointed out, it's not...

    NM Federal Land Transfer!

    My thoughts on this are aligned with OP's here. It seems like a land-grab dressed up to be more palatable to the average citizen. Kind of like a caramel covered onion posing as a candied apple... They talk a good line about how hunting and recreation access will be preserved for the general...

    Thank Jock Cunningham for linking this on FB - US Congress Public Lands voting scorecard.

    While I think these things are interesting, I think they are often very misleading. My issue is that if you look into the bills that these people actually vote on, they are rarely, if ever, simple pieces of legislation that cover a single issue. A prime example of this is the "Big Beautiful...

    Anyone used the Paria Thermodown 0° sleeping bag?

    I picked up one of these back in February and used it on a 1 night camping trip in the mountains here in New Mexico. The overnight temps dipped into the mid-teens and I stayed plenty warm. I tend to sleep on the cold side, but the bag performed great for me (along with some long johns). It packs...

    Archery Advice

    I'll second this. I bought one of these bows for my son when he was showing interest at 10-11 years old. It has been great for him and he still uses it (age 16 now). He will be hunting javelina with it in a couple months (again). I was surprised at how much adjustment has been necessary as he...

    RIP Garmin Inreach … iPhones to allow satellite messages in ios18

    I had the opposite experience this fall. I was able to both send and receive messages vis the iPhone satellite messaging. If/when I was expecting a message back, I found it worked best to reconnect to the satellite every so often to see if a message came through. There was often a delay, for...

    Stone Glacier pack or Exo Mtn and Why ?

    I have an Exo K3 and have zero complaints. Highly recommend. I don't have any experience with Stone Glacier, but have been curious about them. I have a friend who was in a similar situation as you. He bought a pack from each company to compare side by side, made his decision, then sent the...

    Javelina white sands missile range

    I don't think you're getting access to White Sands Missile Range for a javelina hunt... It may be possible, but I doubt it.

    2024 Take Back Your Elk Report

    I haven't ever used or looked into the EPLUS system very much. This thread has been enlightening. One of my issues with this issue is this stance My understanding is that EPLUS is open to EVERYBODY. That means a resident is just as able to purchase a landowner tag as a non-resident. To say...

    Help me pick a new Bino harness.

    I'll throw another preference in here for the Marsupial harness. I love mine and haven't had any complaints. I especially like that it is fully enclosed so it keeps my glass free of dust and debris while out an about. Also, the zipper free magnetic closure is nice and quiet. I typically keep...

    Rock Chucker and/or Turret Press

    My mistake. You are 100% correct. For me, I’d still use the single stage for everything where I care about accuracy.

    Rock Chucker and/or Turret Press

    I agree with the above posters. I have both (Rock Chucker and a Dillon progressive). If you want to load volume, the progressive is the winner here. You can crank out lots of ammo in a short amount of time. I use mine for handgun and target/plinking loads almost exclusively. The single stage...
