    Remington 700 338 Lapua unfired

    Bought this in the PT&G barreled action sale. Ended up building a 30-06AI off of a Walmart donor action while I waited for this to show up, when a reamer, die set, and 30-06 barrel landed on me almost for free. I liked the 30-06AI more than I thought I would. It’s stainless, cerakoted black...

    New Nosler “bullet”.

    Some serious April 1 mojo in that joint. I cackled so loud my wife had to come see what was wrong.

    Aging mule deer bucks!

    Im going to post 9-12 deer that I have killed, most of which have been aged by tooth wear by the local biologist. I also plan to send teeth to Matson Labs for analysis within a few months. I’m not starting this thread for other people to show their deer(or for me to show mine, but that’s part of...

    What to do with cranes.

    While I don’t care to increase the popularity of crane hunting, I also feel like most people who kill cranes don’t get to kill very many, and those could waste a larger portion of their lifetime’s harvest eating sub-par crane meat. Breats- trim the silver skin on the outside, then flip over...

    goHunt updating draw odds!

    One of my only beefs with goHunt in the past was that they did not update draw odds until just before a state app period opened. This was particularly egregious for NM because NM releases results so quickly. Looks like goHunt has updated draw odds for a few states early this year, including NM...

    What kind of poop is this?

    I’m at a place that could, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe have an elk. But shouldn’t have an elk. I wish the picture showed relative size better. It’s bigger than I feel like deer poop should be. Bigger than I’ve ever seen deer poop. I mean I saw it and went “why is elk crap here?”. There were two...

    Bitzenburger jig?

    Another dumb question. I promise I searched first. It looks like the name of the JIGS includes “left” and “right”. I bought a right helical jig and clamp. Can I buy and properly use just a straight and left helical clamp and use the jig that I have, or do I have to buy a matching jig also? Are...

    Left vs Right fletching?

    I’m 99% sure that the correct answer for which direction my fletching SHOULD go, ACCORDING TO CONVENTIONAL WISDOM, for my bow(right handed shooter with a stick) is Left. That said, my 1st choice for broadhead only exists in a right bevel, and my second choice is hard to find in stock in a left...

    Shaft straightness necessity?

    If I’m basically just starting, and I’m shooting a stick bow, instinctively, at 20yds and under, is there any reason for me to pay extra for a shaft that is straighter than +- .006”? My guess is “no”, but I figured I’d ask before I bought a few dozen shafts. Thanks.

    Insert compatibility

    First, I’m going to be shooting a wooden bow with no arrow rest or anything else I can adjust. I’m considering some Easton Axis 5mm arrows, but I will likely only be able to cut them to about 33” at the shortest. In order to tune them, I may need to adjust the amount of weight upfront, and...

    Any reason not to use Trad Vanes instead of feathers?

    Gonna do some trad hunting this fall. Is there a good reason to use feathers instead of Trad Vanes? I’m fairly new and ignorant.

    First season archery hunting.

    I’m going to attempt to shoot a mule deer with a bow this year for the very first time. I have shot bows before. I bought my wife a Hoyt compound for her birthday almost ten years ago, and had zero interest in archery prior to that. I quickly lost interest in compounds. They’re too mechanical...

    Beautiful Wonderful Weather

    It’s a beautiful day in one of my favorite places to hunt. We call it Yankee Repellent. I’ve been swimming in it all day. It’s in every orifice except my ears, which have been plugged with earbuds for the past 11hrs. It’s good for your eyes, as it scrubs the lenses the way you would polish your...

    Pray for Ukraine and the rest of the world.

    The title says it. I don’t know what else to say, and don’t know of anything more useful to do.

    Leupold and RemArms stink.

    So I’m putting together a new rifle. A Mauser, cause everything else sucks. I put a Leupold base on it, and Burris Signature turn in rings, but they are basically the same as Leupold rings. Then I went to mount my Tasco with a bent scope tube and noticed that I didn’t have the plastic inserts...

    Any chance of watching some Randy on Rumble?

    As someone wanting to move toward some new alternative platforms, I just wanted to express my interest in seeing some of my favorite content on Rumble.

    What to look for when e-scouting?

    Drew my first lope tag. It’s in eastern NM. It happens to be a pretty tough tag to draw, in a quite a large area, with only a few tags issued, and only three days to hunt. As such, there’s a reasonable chance of a good being in the unit. I’ve seen pronghorns, but I’ve never hunted them, and...

    HuntTalk Prayer list

    We’re all going through some tough times right now, and I know I’m praying for a few people here. If there’s something you’d like myself and/or other HuntTalk members to pray about, feel free to post it here. I’ll try to update the list every few days so that you don’t have to read every post or...
