    The "shoot factory ammo" was solid advice. Buy a few different boxes and see what it likes, then try to replicate it and then tweak it to optimize it.

    Upland 2023

    Got out twice so far. First day was a quick trip before work on opener. Got cut short by getting called into work early but still got a sharpie. The next one I didn't get onto any birds but it was the best hunt of my life. I got my 4 year old daughter out on her first hunt. We only went about a...

    Driveway Buck?

    Especially when I'm down to the last few days of the season and I might be stuck at work. On top of that my daughter who is 3.5yrs old got to watch it happen. She was pretty excited and luckily he folded immediately and expired without any drama. I couldn't have gotten her a better/cleaner first...

    Driveway Buck?

    Sitrep: 7:50 the 3x4 got 10' from my fence and walked parallel to my land then headed off. I'll add two pick of him and if anyone has recommendations for phoneskope or similar products I'll take them.

    Driveway Buck?

    I'm not an archer but I did think about grabbing my 4" .44mag for the challenge but at this point I'd rather just put it down than risk it. Maybe I'll practice with the .44 next year with the intent of using it if this situation pops up again.

    Driveway Buck?

    Sitrep: 07:35 they are moving closer night cross fence. The buck I was after isn't around but a nice 3x4 is up there pushing the does.

    Driveway Buck?

    Update: it's turning into a more stimulating hunt than just see a buck and shoot. Got home from work yesterday at about 1:30 and the buck, a smaller buck and four does were bedded down at the crest of a hill 20 yards onto my neighbor's land. I only have 5 acres so it's a pretty small shooting...

    Driveway Buck?

    A week ago I told my wife "I care more about the process than the product" when she asked me why I spent so much time on fruitless hikes with my rifle. I want to believe that I care more about the experience of a hunt, making a game plan and executing it to out smart my quarry than just shooting...

    For that price they could at least update that kitchen.

    Opinions on 10mm in Grizzly country?

    I have a Glock 29 that I conceal carry everyday but when I am poking around in grizzly country I carry my 329PD. Luckily I have not shot either out if necessity yet so I can't say if one is more effective than the other. I do kick around the idea of carrying the Glock into the backcountry just...

    11 day backcountry pack weight?

    I took my bear fence into there and still came no where near 90lbs. Here is my lighterpack breakdown with a bear fence. I too go in there solo and sleep a lot better with the fence around me, I have even kicked around the idea of taking it with me when I leave camp for the day and set it up in...
