    Hammer vs Barnes question???

    The price has kept me from taking the plunge, but I'm thinking pretty hard about trying Hammers in my 7mm-08 this winter. I'm coming around to the idea that the petals would branch out a bit and do more damage, especially if you end up hitting a bit off from where you intended. Accuracy is...

    Another interesting WY public access case

    I'm running into this very issue at work right now. I'm told by attorneys that this is likely an "overburdening" of the easement. My heart is always on the side of accessing public lands, but I'm guessing it won't go that way in this case.

    Peax vs Seek teepee ⛺️ Spoiler: Bought a Argali

    Yeah, if you're using a stove, I think even the Redcliff is pushing it for 3 people (though it's do-able).

    Best Reusable Game Bags?

    If you really like your reusable game bags, sell me on them. I've been thinking about getting a set. Would love to hear about your experiences. Thanks!

    Compact rifle opinions

    No, not yet. It was shooting 140 gr E-tips at about 2785 before the chop. I'm guessing I'll have lost 50 fps, or so, but we'll see.. For reference, mine is a stock T3x Lite Stainless, with a chopped barrel, Stocky's carbon fiber stock, High Desert bottom metal replacement and upgraded action...

    Compact rifle opinions

    Mine didn't start out as a compact rifle, but I chopped my Tikka 7mm-08 down to 20" this year and put a really light stock on it. I love the way it carries now. 6.8 pounds with the scope. I do a lot of similar hunting to what you do. Mostly still hunting and tracking in thick woods.

    Sunday Pic of the Day

    Just coming out from a few days of chasing deer and living in a hot tent, here in the Adirondacks. Plenty of snow so far, this November!

    FWP lies about Corner Crossing

    I think that's a good point, but let's not forget that there's some really good hunting on public, too. And, plenty of spots that are now accessible via a corner, that still require a lot of work to take advantage of (more than most hunters will put in).

    What a time to be alive

    That sounds like solid advice, sir.

    What a time to be alive

    Eww. Slap a 100% tariff on that stuff! Butter. Enough said. I will say though, that I recently tried Tillamook's strawberry ice cream(not usually one of my favorite flavors) and hot damn, that is the best strawberry ice cream I've ever had.

    Canoe Hunting for Deer, Antelope, Elk, Moose, Grouse & Geese.

    Did you age that deer? I love the wear on his hoofs. If I saw that track, I'd be thinking I was after an older buck, for sure..

    Hot Tent Drying Tricks

    I'd love to hear the tricks people have come up with for hanging/drying clothes, boots, etc. in a hot tent. Are you just tying dry lines up in the top of the tent? Building little racks on the ground? What has worked best for you?
