    Centimeter (aka 10mm) for bear?

    I only hunt with a .223 AR. The Sako 85 action is poorly designed.

    Little parenting help

    Pretty tough to be sad with geese comin in. It would be quite a feat actually.

    Flying with a rifle - Is this a change at Alaska Air?

    On Alaska I had to have non TSA locks, I bought a pack of master keyed padlocks. (Like other have said, TSA locks are basically useless and master keys are easy to get and there are many theives.) you will go with the official and open your case when checking it in. Arrive early.

    Little parenting help

    Buy him a backhoe. Log splitters apparently can make a lot of friends as well. A car, truck or boat project might also work, and be rewarding.

    Calgary Stampede

    The suicide race is still happening. Was there last year.

    To cut or not to cut, that is the question. Suppressor & Barrel Length

    The problem I found with using a suppressor on PD’s is that in high volume shooting, the suppressor gets hot very fast and throws my accuracy off. In lower volume situations, they are great. I cut some of my varmint barrels to accommodate suppressors, others I left unthreaded. My opinion is...

    Chainsaw On Wheels

    How about renting an excavator with a thumb? Plucking a 6” pine shouldn’t take a very large machine. if you have an experienced operator it can go pretty fast.

    A growing problem

    I have to agree, putting them in jail isn’t optimal, However, what about the cost to society and the economy overall? The graffiti, trash, pooping all over the place, theft, hard drugs, etc.? What about the fixed income and lower income law abiding people that have no choice but to live in the...

    A growing problem

    An additional component is the breakdown/absence of the traditional family structure. i agree, drugs and overly generous handouts are certainly big contributors. Here in the Puget sound area they are housing the homeless drug addicts and mentally ill in hotels- adding more rooms all the time...

    A new low recoil deer rifle

    That sounds great! I wish I had more opportunity to use my .300 BLK on deer. My son and I shoot ragged hole groups at 50 yds with it (V-max 110’s and Lil gun).

    Wish Me Luck, Please

    So, you would rather commit waste of an animal you shot instead of trying every reasonable means possible to get the deer? Do you suggest to keep shooting/wasting them until one drops in a convenient location? That’s real noble of you. Realistically, I’m sure they have a plan put together to...

    Wish Me Luck, Please

    Take a flashlight or two and someone strong to help with the deer and go look after bedtime? if somehow you get caught and chewed out, apologize, and explain you are trying to do the right thing. I would go with you if I could. Wear your camos.

    A new low recoil deer rifle

    My 2 cents. I deer hunt with a 80yo, with severe arthritis in both shoulders, and a bullet manufacturer. We have taken over 35 deer with .223 caliber and smaller on the ranch we hunt. What we have found to be key is both bullet placement and bullet construction, with caliber a distant third...

    Wet - Snowy - MT 2022 Opener

    We had our usual fiasco on opening day. To review.. my buddy Dan forgot to put a bullet in his chamber last year. This year, buddy Jim for some reason, likely odd, or even probably bizarre, decided to not bring his rifle on the hunt. Plenty of tags, but no rifle? He takes buddy Dans rifle...

    WTF Montana. This is real?

    My wife and I passed through there last December. Hotels were high price/low value. Restaurant was the same. I have no need to ever return.

    Life without a cell phone or debit card

    One problem is that most of us no longer have the old infrastructure (eg. Landlines) to fall back on.

    Well, it's not good. Not religious but prayers are welcomed.

    Sending prayers for you Dave.

    What is the dumbest thing that someone has ever asked/said while you were hunting?

    My buddies and I will ask and say all kinds of wacky things while hunting and at the bar in the evening. It is entertaining. The objective is to say things that are maybe believable, but certainly very odd. Mislabeling animals, claiming we eat gopher nuts, (I like ‘em jerkeyd), wasting a day...

    Why Does Deer Meat Taste Gamey

    I think in some cases “gamey” flavor comes from meat stored/aged in too warm of temperatures- it is actually spoiled. I get my field dressed deer skinned and hung in a walk in, asap, usually within an hour after the kill. I’ve never had a problem or heard a complaint.

    Family Trip to Oregon- Advice?

    Portland can still be okay. BUT never leave anything of any value, at any time, in an unattended car and use judgement where and when you go. A Dungeness crab feast. Way more fun preparing it yourself, rather than at a restaurant. Some local experts crack the shells by tapping them with a empty...
