My dad an uncles did the same thing back in the day. I got my truck stuck over where I hunt and got on channel 4 and got hold of a group of people 4 wheelin’ and they came and pulled me out. It was worth every penny that 30 pack of Busch light cost me that I got em for helping me out!
I hunt in a couple of remote areas of Ohio where cell phone reception is sketchy at best. The local farmers in that area use em quite a bit. They come in handy at times. Sometimes we’ll get on and bs with em on Friday and Saturday nights along with some of the other locals.
Anyone still have a CB radio in their hunting rig? My aunt gave me the two my uncle had after he passed away and I had one of em checked out and put it in my truck with a good antenna. I found em easier to use when a bunch of us head out west instead of cell phones whenever we needed to make...
Taking the opportunity to refletch some Axis 5mm shafts for the upcoming season here in Ohio. My dad got this Blitzenburger jig sometime in the early 80’s and it still works as good as the day he got it. I had to replace the clamp last year and also replaced the springs and bearings in the knock...
Thanks for the reply’s! I’m in pretty good shape and starting to ramp up my conditioning for the spring and fall season. I’ve done a couple solo trips in the Bob Marshall wilderness and would like to do some fishing while I’m out there.
What’s the bear hunting like in the Frank Church Wilderness? I’m coming out for a spring bear hunt and have always wanted to hunt the Frank. If I don’t fill the tag I can give it another shot in the fall in another unit.
Mechanical’s! Used one for the first time two years ago, and the penetration on a broadside shot on a deer at 25 yards was piss poor! Went back to a fixed blade and never looked back.
Worked this load up last year for my 7mm-08 with a 160 gr AB using a near max load of H4831 SC. Most accurate load out of all the billets I tried!
gonna put it to use on a 2021 spring bear hunt in Idaho. The hole on the lower right is from my 22-250.
After 39 years of use, I had to finally replace the springs for the nock receiver and called Blitzenburger’s customer service and they sent me new springs & bearings free of charge! She’s like brand new again! Have a new clamp on the way too from Lancaster Archery.
I tried 140 gr Ballistic tips & Accubonds, Parttions & 139 gr Hornady’s with Varget, IMR & H4350, RL-19 and a couple other powders and it printed shotgun patterns at 100 yards! Tried 120 gr Sierra’s & Ballistic tips too and got the same results!
