    Wisconsin Youth... His first!

    My 12 year old son went on his first deer hunt this morning. Only had to sit an hour and three does came out of the woods and into the briar patch our stand was overlooking. He had some trouble finding them in the scope and I was getting worried. He found the last one as it was crossing the...

    Benelli Super Black Eagle

    Anybody here have one or used one? Looking for a new semi-auto for upland hunting. I've been looking at different manufacturers, including Franchi and Berretta, but the SB3 just feels the best. I know they are marketed more towards the waterfowl crowd (which I am not), so wondering if anyone...

    Montana Hunting Access app

    Anybody ever use the Montana Hunting Access app for bird hunting? I'm wondering how it compares to OnX. Taking my Brittany on his first out of state trip this September and I've started scouting areas that look "birdy" on OnX. Just wondering if the Access app is worth the $10? Will be going for...

    My poor dog...

    Apparently yesterday was my Brittany's 1 year birthday. My wife of course wanting to make a big deal out of it asked me "are we doing anything special for Chief's birthday"? Me: "What!? No! He's a dog!" SMH Wife later that evening: He's supposed to be getting neutered in 2 weeks. Now I'm not...

    Sako 85 build

    I bought a Sako 85 in 7mm-08 back in 2017 thinking that it would be nice to have a Sako just for the deer stand. Unfortunately it left a lot to be desired. I must have had one of the few Sakos in the world that "patterned" instead of grouped. I thought about selling it but I wouldn't have felt...

    Creedmoor Go/ No Go Headspace Gauges

    WTB headspace gauge set for a 6mm Creedmoor. Have a barrel coming in soon (hopefully) for a build I am finishing up. There are Forster gauge sets available online, but for something that I am probably only going to use 2 or 3 times in my life I am hoping to find it cheaper.

    Fierce Carbon Fury 6.5 PRC

    Definitely one of my more accurate rifles - easily shoots 147gr ELD-M under .50 MOA. The 143gr ELD-X are just as accurate out of the barrel as well. Did a post last year on the forum showing a 2.75" group at 600 meters with this rifle. About 90 rounds shot through it. I'll post it here and give...

    Anybody else excited for Topgun: Maverick?

    I honestly think 99% of all entertainment pushed out there is just garbage/ cannon fodder. I am really excited to see the new Topgun though. The first one was a big part of my early childhood and was one of the first movies above a "G" rating that I remember my parents letting me watch...

    *SOLD* Leupold VX-3i 3.5-10x40 Duplex (Silver)

    Hard to find silver color. This is the discontinued model from a few years ago (not HD). Great shape- only one minor scuff mark from the rings (pictured). Don't need it anymore; rifle it was mounted on has since become a project rifle. Maybe this could help fund part of that project. Asking...

    Sako 85 S grey laminate stock

    Was on a Sako 85 S in 7mm-08. Will fit any Sako 85 short action. The rifle didn't shoot so I tore it down to just the action and started a project. I don't have any use for the stock since I ordered an aftermarket option for the build. The stock does have some scratches on the left side that...

    Ron Spomer and Hammer Bullets

    I always enjoy just listening to or watching Ron Spomer. Pretty cool to see a good company getting interest from him.

    WTB- Garmin TT15 Mini collar

    Looking for a Garmin TT15 Mini- collar only. Nobody has had any for months and the backorder ETA keeps getting pushed farther and farther out. Would like one soon to start collar conditioning. Regular TT15 will not fit until pup is almost full grown. Really don't want to buy a different brand...

    Sako 85 barrel swap?

    Anybody ever swap a Sako barrel? I have a Sako 85 in 7mm-08 that needs a new barrel and I'd like to try doing it myself as a project. From what I understand, the Tikka pre-fit barrels from Proof Research are interchangeable with the Sako 85. The process seems pretty straightforward, but I...

    My first bird dog

    A few months ago I started a thread asking some of you to talk me out of a bird dog. Congratulations, you all failed. This is 8-week old Brittany pup "Chief". Brought him home last weekend from a kennel in northern WI and already he is a pain in my ass... The whining, the chewing, the crate...

    Anybody wanna talk me out of a bird dog?

    My fiance and I have been discussing getting a second dog recently and I have come to the idea that if we get a second dog, then we should get one that gives back more than just companionship. Our current dog is a hound rescue, and is mostly the companion type. She could be trained to hunt, but...

    Zamberlan 981 Wasatch GTX rr (SZE 12)

    Bought from GoHunt last week along with a slightly different pair to see which ones felt best on my feet. I ended up picking the other pair over these. Nothing wrong with the boots, just not quite the ones for my feet in particular. Still NIB with tags; worn inside the house for about 20...

    Did anybody receive their Arizona Elk permit in the mail yet?

    Just wondering if anybody received their Arizona Elk tag in the mail yet? I have not received mine (non-res) and am wondering if this is going to be a fiasco like the draw was when some accounts went missing. It says online that they were expected to be mailed by Aug 9th.
