    Lost zero after knocked scope

    Ok, question for you all. I was out with my 22 and wiped out hard walking down a steep slope. Fell straight on my back, and my Leupold hit first. Mud up in the glass, etc. No longer hits where I’m pointing… like 6” off for 25 yard shot. It still seems to be mounted correctly and firmly, no loose...

    I think I want a pistol

    I don’t have one, don’t need one, but want one. Since it’d be my first, 22lr seems logical. What would be your recommendation for plinking and maybe taking a grouse. What are the dependable, good value makes and models I should look at? Always been partial to revolvers but nothing against semi...

    Shooting with iron sights… good resources?

    Shot BB guns and 22 with open sights a ton as a kid and switched to scopes for most things as an adult. Gonna get back into it a bit next trip at range because I may have a decent hunt opportunity this fall in which I’d likely use my 870 rifled barrel with iron sites. Looking for any reading or...

    upland strap vest recommendations?

    I use a traditional upland vest I like most of the fall, but it can be warm early season, so I'm looking for one of those strap vests where there isn't much upper body material besides the shoulder straps. My dog drinks a ton, so besides being orange and holding dead birds and some ammo, good...

    Transferable skills... whitetail to elk

    It'll be a few years (2-4) until I will chase elk with a bow again. My first trip, I drew back twice but did not let an arrow fly. Learned a lot. I have good archery whitetail hunting opportunities locally (midwest), and can get a couple tags. I'm thinking I can use the next couple years to...

    how much do you spend on a round of trap/skeet?

    I have nowhere convenient to throw my own regularly as I'm in a bigger city. Went to do a few rounds of trap. Paid 10 for shells and a round of trap was $14 (!). 24 bucks for a round of trap that takes less than 10 minutes. Cripes! How much does it cost you for a round of trap? Are you a...

    E Collar lifespan?

    I have a Dogtra 280C that is about 6 years old. The collar and remote both have power, but collar stopped responding to remote. I tried re-pairing it. That process does not work. I'm going to call customer service and hopefully they can figure out a solution. I've replaced the batteries in...

    Over thinking chokes is always fun: What chokes for pheasant and grouse in a double barrel?

    I saw @BrentD wrote on another thread "Over thinking chokes is fun." So hopefully this will be fun! I have my grandpa's 16 gauge Winchester model 12, that had a fixed full choke. I didn't use it much because it pummeled birds, so I had a gunsmith open it up to IC this last year, and used it...

    Late season pheasants = long distance shotgunning?

    When I first got into pheasant hunting, I read and believed the oft repeated dogma that late season shots are longer than early season shots. I now think that's BS. I hunt a variety of situations (by myself, with others) all through the season, primarily with a flushing dog (lab). I think I...

    trying to make muzzleloader shooting experience more enjoyable/hard to seat bullets

    Excuse my ignorance... I have a muzzleloader but have put very little time into thinking about muzzleloading. I have a TC impact ML, I shoot Barnes 50cal TMZ 250 grain sabots, use 2 50/50 triple 7 pellets, and 209 primers. I bought these at the time I bought the muzzleloader and I never tried...

    Screwing up... bad habit that has cost me a couple birds this year...

    short shucking.... which is when you don't fully pump a pump shotgun all the way back and forth, re-chambering the spent round rather than a new one. I primarily shoot a winchester model 12 which is a pump shotgun. I do not have a habit of short shucking when my gun is on my shoulder. For...

    Favorite wild game meals that freeze well?

    What are your favorite wild game meals that freeze very well? I like being able to simmer prepared game meals in a vac seal bag in camp for an easy dinner. Sometimes I'll have access to a full kitchen but I never feel like cooking after a day afield- but good to be able to put something in the...

    If you were going on a non-hunting/fishing backcountry trip, where would you go?

    If you were going on a backcountry or road camping/hiking trip with no tags or hunting/fishing goals, where would you go? There are a lot of cool landscapes out there to get lost in. Which are your favorites or on your bucket list? Pictures and stories welcome! This post largely inspired by...

    Wanted.... ugly stuffed muskrat for use on pond hockey tournament trophy

    There's a neighborhood pond that we turn into a rink during the winter, and lots of young fast kids and old slow guys like myself there all the time. Naturally, things get competitive. This pond is home to a lot of muskrats and is nicknamed muskrat pond by the kids. I got the idea that it would...

    concentration of fawn skeletons? Why?

    This past season I was in NW Colorado deer hunting. I covered a lot of miles on foot. In that fairly arid country, you come across bones/skeletons regularly. In one little area consisting of 2 draws, I noticed a lot of small mule deer fawn skeletons. I'm talking like 30+ in a 500x500 yard...

    When do they determine how many doe/fawn tags are available in Wyoming for each unit?

    I'm sure this information is out there somewhere, but I couldn't track it down. When do they determine how many doe/fawn tags are available for a unit? Does that information come out before the date to apply (which is May 31 this year), or is it determined after applications are due? I know...

    sighting back in question

    This is just something I'm curious about... I have about 20 rounds of my hunting ammo and 70 rounds of target ammo. The hunting ammo is sighted in at about 2" high at 100 yards, and the target ammo hits about 1" high at 100 yards. If I ever really knocked my scope off on a hunt, could I use the...

    New from up North

    Hello from the Midwest. Big time fisherman (particularly love backcountry fishing in BWCA and Canada), love chasing upland birds, and always trying to keep the freezer full of venison. Been out west a handful of times on big game hunts, and am going to try to continue to go as much as tags, time...
