    New to ML hunting

    100%. Take a normal setup like my T/C Encore pushing a Thor 250 at 1750 FPS. That projectile has lost fully half its kinetic energy by 150 yards. I could normally care less about this kind of stuff, but it's outright irresponsible to preach to the general population that 300 yards is a...

    New to ML hunting

    Funny. This debate comes up on here or the slide every few years. It's always the same script... someone points out how silly it is to shoot at a game animal with irons beyond 200 yards, and the long range ML competition crowd comes in with charts and claims of experience to demonstrate their...

    WTT for/ WTB Burris Fullfield II

    Looking for the above in 2-7 or 3-9 in new or like new condition if anyone has one. Lots of trade bait or potential cash. Thanks in advance!

    Wyo 93

    Hunted a cow tag there two years ago. Small unit that gets a lot of ATV pressure. Not a bad hunt necessarily but most of the animals end up on private before rifle even opens. Feel free to PM if you want

    Low mag, High Quality

    Bumping this again after a zero issues with a Leupold. Anyone got a Kahles 2-7 sitting around they want to turn into cash?

    Hammer vs Barnes question???

    Interesting. Guess the question is whether bullets sitting at a stable temperature would ever harden, and if so, how long that would take. Anyone a metallurgist on here?

    The caribou hunt that almost wasn’t

    Unfortunately, your assessment is spot on. The Sag is a cash cow these days with the insane demand for caribou hunts- my buddy flew over the last week of August and said camps averaged about a half mile apart in some sections. There's still some cool river hunting in the state, but it's usually...

    Hammer vs Barnes question???

    Yep. Exit wound on my elk this year. 80ish yard shot, 120 grain Hammer Hunter via 7mm-08. Second elk I've killed with a round that is "way too small" for 600 pound animals Interesting. Never heard of copper age hardening, and Google says that's not a thing. Do you have experience with this?

    Processor Recs- SLC

    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!

    Shiras Moose Hunt - A lot of firsts...

    Man what an incredible experience and a beautiful animal. Currently sitting through my last day of work before flying out for elk near there this weekend, and reading up on adventures like this has the stoke level through the roof. Congrats on an awesome harvest and lifetime memory.

    Howa Superlite - my experience

    Man that's funny, I had the exact inverse experience... finally caved and bought a brand new T3X and its headspace was off, would put deep ejector marks into 3 of 5 brands of factory ammo I tried just cycling them through the action without firing. Sent it in and they said "seems fine to us" Do...

    Howa Superlite - my experience

    First I'd heard of rear baffle wear. Wouldn't happen to have a pic or two would ya? Always kinda babied mine honestly but never seen anything like that

    Howa Superlite - my experience

    Arguably the best factory hunting rifles ever made, possibly even over the Fieldcraft. Strong chance that comes on my first sheep hunt when I get AK residency

    Nevada Antelope hunt 2025 - Semi-live

    Beautiful buck, congrats. Only similarity between this and the tag I hunted near there in '22 is the scenery where yall killed yours. We saw 3 legal bucks in 5 days of scouting and hunting, and killed the largest. Evidently we were on the tail end of a pretty severe drought, but man the game...

    Howa Superlite - my experience

    Late to the thread here, but I have a 1500 Alpine in .243 that is a "chopstick-" 6 pounds ish scoped and loaded with the Bansner stock. It's a fantastic rifle, but definitely not the easiest to shoot well at really long distances- which doesn't really matter for me since I never shoot past 300...

    Public comment sought on Trump's plan to scrap 'roadless rule' on National Forest lands

    I kinda used to think this was true, but that public lands selloff turned into a real dick dance for the Mike Lee types. Dude I went to college with works on the hill and said people were avoiding him (Lee) like he had leprosy the whole week that was going down, while his staff was scrambling to...

    Testosterone Replacement

    This is more common than the opposite these days with all the environmental exposures out there. Since the chemical diaspora of the 50s, there have been literally thousands of endocrine disrupting chemicals that have become ubiquitous. It's easy to throw up your hands in defeat because of how...

    Trash tag excitement

    Thousand percent. I'm in a training pipeline right now and have ten days off the whole year... happen to have drawn a leftover cow tag and could not be more stoked. Truly anchoring my sanity through this whole process. 28 days!
