Got a few extra pounds of elk that won't fit in the cooler for the trip home- anyone got recommendations for a processor in the SLC area? Thanks in advance!
Looking for something in the 1-4 or 2-7 mag range for a lever setup. I own a few VX-3s, but they seem to end up in the "okay as long as they get babied" category in independent drop tests.
Criteria are as follows. Set and forget type optic in the aforementioned mag range, 1" tube, 500 bucks or...
Headed up to Anchorage, AK within the next year, and have a few questions about the move, mostly about pets. I have a super sweet 50 pound pit mix who will be coming with me. He's not a registered service dog, but I am a combat disabled veteran and have ESA paperwork for him. Looking at options...
Got stationed in AL two years ago, which was not my first choice from a hunting perspective. The public anywhere near me is small and crowded; most of bow season is around 80 degrees. I did notice, however, that there are some pretty decent sized state forests and WMAs in the panhandle of...
Excellent condition, optically perfect. One owner. These were Vortex's Japanese-made flagship mid range hunting scopes until they stopped making them a year or two ago, and are great optics. Comes with Butler Creek flip up lens caps and lifetime warranty. 500 to your door.
Anyone ever hunt Montague or other nearby islands in PWS for Blacktail in August? I've heard it's cool hunting, but a lot lower population density than Kodiak or Raspberry. Got access to a cub on floats what I think is a pretty solid game plan- any input either here or via PM much appreciated...
Picked up a Barn owl cellular camera in November '22 to keep an eye on a hunting property. Setup was fairly easy for both the camera and solar panel. Transmitted well for a month or two. Then it died randomly. They sent me another one in April '23.
Set that one up, and things were going great...
Putting a skiff together and looking at options for a 9.9 EFI four stroke. I currently have a Mercury (which is actually a Tohatsu) that is a great little engine, but will be selling with the boat I'm replacing. Anyone got strong opinions between these? All have good warranties and seem to be...
Mods- feel free to delete if not appropriate, but figured this could potentially be pertinent within the hunting community.
700 hour CFI here looking for my next gig. Any outfitters need a pilot for this season? Commercial ASEL/AMEL/ASES/Tailwheel, USCG 100 ton captain, veteran, etc... happy to...
Up for trade is my T/C Encore Pro Hunter muzzleloader in excellent condition. Currently wears a Burris 3-9x40 optic in Leupold rings and one piece base, which can be included for the right trade. Rifle is in excellent condition cosmetically and functionally- bore is mirror shiny and action locks...
While getting my life together for a public land whitetail effort this year, I noticed the X Stand X-1 climber I've been using for the past 5 or 6 years is starting to show some wear on the cables. Looks like it'll make it through this season, but it's now a 25 yard target to find a replacement...
Am I the only one on here? Had mine since May and I honestly don't think I can ever see myself owning any other kind of boat in the lower 48. Just something fulfilling about knocking out a limit of topwater reds and trout while burning a total of 10 ounces of fuel
Got a brand new T3X set up recently. When function testing today, bolt was tough to close with several brands of factory ammo and left the pictured ejector marks. Never been fired. One brand of factory chambered normally, two did not. Anyone know an easier fix than sending back to Tikka? Soak...
Got the last week in August to do some fly fishing, hiking and sightseeing between tags... Anyone got recommendations on spots to check out between Denver and Gunnison? Feel free to PM if that would be better. Thanks in advance for any input!
Interested in the collective opinion on this, as I've seen and heard recommendations on this topic recently that seemed confusing. When someone is either upgrading their optics suite for the first time or getting into hunting, which of these categories is a higher priority to spend money on and...
Looking for a high end composite stocked, stainless or cerakoted .30-06 a la Fieldcraft or M70 Extreme Weather SS. Shoot me a PM if you've got one taking up space you'd be interested in turning into cash and/ or trade bait! thanks in advance.
Whether we like it or not, the world of hunting is at a crossroads that will determine much of its future. Every year recently, there are more and more PR disasters for our sport. Many are smaller; some are severe enough to make national headlines. The common theme is that this phenomenon is...
Going to be near Sheridan for the weekend of 07-09OCT22 doing a combo hunting/ sightseeing trip. After we cover the public in my Pronghorn unit, which should take about an hour, I thought it'd be fun to show my girlfriend the Bighorns by horseback. If anyone runs horseback tours in the Sheridan...
Not often these days that you see a conservation story starting to go straight in the right direction, but that's shaping up to be the case in Virginia. I'll do my best to keep a very long story short for anyone who's not familiar.
The Chesapeake Bay ecosystem rests on the shoulders of a...
Just wondering how guys' experiences have been using custom ammo manufacturers like Unknown Munitions, Pendleton ammo, etc. If anyone has input about things you liked, how your order process went, if you used their load development service, would love to hear it! Thanks in advance.
