I’m currious how heavy other people carry their day pack.
I weighed my pack from last weekend and was surprised it was 25lbs. That included the sidearm and 3 liters of water. If temps drop I won’t carry as much water. I’m using a metcalf so that’s over 5lbs in pack alone. I’ve certainly...
Decided to get out and shoot rifles at the range while it was cool this morning. It was good to shoot but I had the windage turret pop off on my Leupold Varix II. Luckily it’s not my primary hunting rifle. So I will be sending it off for repair by Leupold.
After taking care of chores around...
I was on IDFG website looking up something else. Then saw this. I’ve seen a few groups hiking this summer. I reported the two from this weekend.
Just thought I’d share.

I just saw this article. Glad to see a state legislator doing something to protect public land.

I am shooting an old Clearwater Power Mag. I bought it used 15 years ago. It is about 30 years old. I plan to hunt with it this season but would like to upgrade next year.
I plan to shoot some different bows at a local shop. I am looking more at previous years models or other discounts. It...

I really liked these boots. They just didn’t quite fit right in the heel for me. I only wore 4 or 5 days in the field. Rest was just around the house to break in. Also includes aftermarket insoles.
I have always used the rolled foam ear plugs for shooting. At rifle ranges or areas it’s really loud I do the foamies with ear muffs over.
I knew you had to use the foam ear plugs properly to get their full effect. I was told about the molded ear plugs and know many people who use them. I...
Visiting my wife who works seasonally in Alaska. Whenever she is busy I go out fishing. I had a fun afternoon fly fishing for Sockeye.
It’s a tricky place to get one landed. I had lost a few and had to release one the was foul hooked. Had kept a couple though and decided to call it.
At the...
Took off a little early today. Wanted to go for a hike with my wife and look for Morels. We lucked into a fair haul for how much time we had and ground covered. Looking forward to getting out some more.
Hello,
I have been considering a Weatherby Mark V Hunter. I cannot justify spending for their other lines of Mark V. I found out they are phasing out the Hunter line in lieu of a series with Remi Warren. There are still some Mark V Hunter available.
I am specifically considering 280 Ackley...
I have 11 rounds of 180 grain Nosler E-tip ammunition in 300 Win Mag for sale or trade. I bought it for my rifle but reload for it now. I can just shoot it up for the brass. I just hate using up premium ammo like that. If anyone can make better use of it make an offer.
