    2026 NFA wait times?

    It ain't over. The tax was the justification. Now with zero dollar tax, the courts may put an end to it. Then you'd see cheap suppressors. I have no idea how long it will take. I bet a dollar it will be months of shortages of suppressors and long waits if you can find one to buy.

    I gotta quit drinking.

    Is the root cause a physical need for alcohol or other factors leading to self-medication with alcohol? I quit drinking when I contracted a kid and a mortgage because I couldn't afford the good stuff for several years. Then when I could afford it, I got acid reflux going. I pretty much just...

    Giving my first rifle a makeover

    Don't do it. Keep it as is for keepsakes and get something else for the 6mm.

    How about an Eastern US hunting issue?

    You may very much need access to their land to recover a buck you arrowed. So, restricting their easement could come back to bite you. Adapting your land to reduce the numbers they see is your best bet. It's not foul play. It's competition and is only a negative if they know about it. I lie to...

    I'm Trying to Decide on a New All Around Rifle.

    Between those two, whichever has the stiffer stock. I haven't handled the Gen II Ruger. The Tikka has a better stock than the Gen I. I have serious problems with your choice in optics, but you didn't ask. Just please use the best mounts you can afford.

    Bow sight recommendations/guidance?

    Roll that sight out of the way and let 'er rip, tater chip! You'll get the hang of it eventually. Start with a big target, tho.

    Whats with E bikes in whitetail hunting?

    The more bikes I see, the more signs limiting them I see. The problem from a hunting standpoint is they decrease the huntable area as more of an overall area becomes the part bikers try to travel past to get away from one another.

    Cheapskate's guide to cartridge selection

    The majority of hunters can't shoot for %$#@! no matter how accurate the rifle. We really need to expand competitive shooting programs in schools. Speaking of cheap, the A #1 thing you can do for yourself and your kids shooting is 5m BB competition. Usually people get involved via county 4H...

    Whats with E bikes in whitetail hunting?

    They'll eventually be banned on public. Good. I'll get one for private when it's as capable of retrieving game as an ATV. It'll ride on a hitch mounted rack rather than a trailer. Also, there is a clear need to replace some years of school with nothing but training people to think critically.

    We'd probably cube and freeze 40# of whitetail annually.

    Cuber

    I'm looking at the attachment for a LEM Big Bite motor we already have. It looks good by their website reviews and we've always been satisfied with LEM quality. My question is whether there's something better out there for the ~$300 price tag.

    What’s your favorite steak sauce?

    The only sauce I use is blood from a properly cooked steak. So anyhow I took this hillbilly cutie to a gourmet steakhouse. There was a local factory owned and run by Germans. They built their own restaurant and recruited chefs from home to run it. My date was gorgeous, but the concept of...

    First bow

    $1K? Gosh lee. I guess that explains the surge in traditional bow popularity.

    Poll - One all around single cartridge under conditions

    7mm08 for short barrel suppressed and 120gr bullets. Consider the neck and shoulder issues affect how heavy and how long a rifle you'll want to deal with.
