I finally finished my encore. Last year Illinois allowed us to hunt with strait walled cases. So I bought a 45-70 barrel and the build began. It shoots awesome, and kicks pretty good for such a light gun. I had a muzzle brake installed, cerakote black graphite applied and had the stocks dipped...
I just finished my Tikka build in 300WM. Now, what ammo to shoot? I have some 200g Hornady Precision Hunter on hand. I know that I can shoot lighter bullets. What are your recommendations? Heavier yet or lighter? What ammo has been good to you? Factory loads only.

I have been debating on upgrading to a metcalf form the pintler that I have used for several seasons now. This fall our group wants to hike in the day before season and camp close to where we intend to hunt. Our hike in is only about a mile and a half, but we gain 1,000 feet in that mile and a...
I'm wanting to plan an eastern Colorado antelope hunt this year or next. I want public land and I'm not looking for a trophy, just a good representation of a mature antelope buck. I have everything that I would need for a hunt, just need a place to go. I'm not asking anyone for their honey...
This was my second elk hunt ever and my first time with a 1st season bull tag in my pocket. We were hunting the Dunkley Flat tops are of northwestern Colorado. We scouted on Friday the 15th with 8-10' of new snow. The hike from camp to the top of the flat tops was a brutal 1/14 mile zig zag...

I was wondering. How many of you use shooting sticks, tripod or another type of shooting rest/aid. I see many hunters using tripods for their binos and spotting scopes. I also see hunters with shooting sticks or tripods like bogpods for helping to steady their shot. I ask this because Academy...
I am looking for a auxiliary battery bank for charging my iphone and laptop while boondocking. I have a small one that i use for my phone when I deer hunt and it works well. I just need something bigger to charge multiple items if necessary.

This is a friend of mine from back home. This beast weighed in at 6.2 lbs. His dad caught a 9.4 lb rainbow the week prior that made this one look small!

For sale. Alps Outdoorz Commander X + pack. New without tags but never used. This pack has all of the bells and whistles of the more expensive packs at a reasonable price. I bought this pack this past winter for a western hunt this fall, but it is just too big for my needs. This pack is a great...
I have been watching this fella for 3 years now. I didn't see him this season and I have not checked my cameras yet to see if he survived the 2017 season.

I am going out west this fall and I was wondering if anyone uses shooting sticks or a tripod for shooting? The bogpod has a attachment for bino's for glassing.

This winter I found Cabelas wooltimate berber fleece line of clothing on sale at Cabelas. I bought 2 jackets, but could not find pants. I bought these for my trip to Colorado this fall. I called Cabelas to inquire about the availability of this line and they told me that they were discontinuing...
I am going elk/muley hunt in Colorado 2nd season. Should I bring my tree stand with me? We are hiking in every day so I would not be packing it in with all of my gear.

Has any one seen any of the new Mystery Ranch packs? I like the looks of the Pop Up 28 or the Mule. I just need a good daypack with good load handling capabilities.
