    Hunting trips and hunting partners

    Solo is better than a bad partner/group. Try joining a sportsman oriented group like a gun club or archery club or try volunteering for a group like RMEF or MDF to meet like minded people. It's not easy to find compatible people, but possible.

    Fresh Tracks Weekly - Vote In Your Primary Election

    Voting for/against based on endorsements is usually a bad idea. I don't think it matters if you like the person doing the endorsement or not. AFAIK, all of the well known candidates have donations/funding coming from out of state. That's the way politics works. Sure, you can pretend it...

    Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?

    There are only two parties. Sure, pretend if you want that there are independents. Choose a side. Sometimes they will do what you want and sometimes not.

    Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?

    It's ok. Not everyone has figured out the game. No matter what people run as, they are one party or the other. They choose who is going to help them get reelected. Pick a team, but rest assured there are only two that are viable. Most of us don't like it, but that's the way it is.

    Sticky hogue stock question

    I'd take the stock off and paint it.

    How old is too old to apply for physical hunts?

    There is no time like the present. To the OP, I suggest trying for your hunts before you get any older. It's amazing how easy things get harder after just a few years from 50s into your 60s. Recovery time when you are older takes longer. As one poster noted, they hunt every other day as a...

    What caliber/rifle/bullet would be suitable for taking a Terminator/iRobot?

    I don't think they are armored yet. AR15 in 223 with any bullet should work.

    Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?

    The point is if it's about money, there are other places that have a lot more. If you simply want to talk about Trump, it still fails. The ballroom is not scheduled to be completed with the additional billion or not before he leaves office. Last I heard, the billion is a proposal that hasn't...

    Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?

    Maybe conservation vs PPP loan forgiveness, Medicare fraud, and Medicaid fraud. Those combine for a lot more money and are already happening.

    Any track and field coaches out there?

    I'm not a coach, but my first HS coach was a multi time distance Olympian and NCAA and National Amateur winner. YMMV. The biggest thing that I've seen help speed is sprinting downhill. Of course, you have to be careful not to fall. Our mid distance and distance runners used to do about 3/4...

    Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?

    That's cool for the next few years, but what if you don't like the next President? A better alternative is just put a sticker on it. :D

    Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?

    Hiking is good no matter what. From what I've read, they want to spend more money on the Ballroom security. It seems to me after the other day that there is no safe place to hold a large meeting. Sure, you can say there shouldn't be any large meetings. That being said, the ballroom was...

    N-Frame 329PD Air light (44 Mag) vs Gen 4 Glock 20 (10mm)

    I'm sure the 329 has serious kick with hot loads. Even a 4 inch Stainless model does with hot loads. However, if you don't use really hot 44 mag loads, it should be tolerable. There is a long way from 10mm to 44 mag hot loads, so there are options that won't kick as bad. I haven't looked at...

    Anybody watch the Derby?

    Great comeback. I wonder if we will have a triple crown winner this year.

    Forest Service Reorg - Progress or Politics

    FS is just one set of federal workers. Since there aren't equal rules, we'll never know.

    Forest Service Reorg - Progress or Politics

    I don't think there is usually equivalent work in the private sector. However, I don't personally care if they are paid less or more. I'm ok with whatever the market will bear. I do think there should be the same employment rules as the private sector. I don't think that's the case now. I'm...

    Buy a new 357 Magnum (Which would you buy?)

    I think you need to define "use". If I could only pick one, I'd go with a 4.25 Ruger SP101. It's light but 4.25 has good velocity. Otherwise, I'd go S&W because their triggers are very easy to lighten. Note: Rugers are ok to lighten, but not quite as easy. It's probably easier to get a...

    Rec for Elk Trip for Father

    I'd check with guides (check references) and pay the money required for him. You and your brother can just go to hang out. That's what I would have done if I had a redo. If he's like many dads, he'd let you guys take the first shots. Not quite the goal of the hunt for "him".

    Norma Bondstrike Ammo?

    I've shot a largish Mule Deer buck at just over 200 yds from a 300 WSM. The penetration wasn't complete through the ribs, but it didn't go anywhere. Sorry, no pictures, and I didn't keep the bullet.
