    Any Experience with GM 3.0l Duramax Diesel 1500 Trucks?

    Two of my buddies have one. One does not tow and has only had the truck for a few months. The other has had the truck for almost 2 years and tows only a 3,500lb camper with it. He is very happy with the truck and gets in the low 30s when not towing on the highway. It really isn't a...

    The way I read it was 8 were legally taken in the Clam Lake herd and 2 illegally in Jackson. The illegal ones from the fall report were taken by deer hunters mistaking them for whitetail deer during the gun deer season. The norther herd has been continue to push east and have been east of...

    Even if it gets approved what teeth will it have? If they are still protected at the federal level, how will the state be able to perform any reduction if recommended? I know I have at least 6 unique ones right now wandering around the back yard.

    Western hunting scope

    Take a look at the various reticles and see one that you like: https://www.leupold.com/shop/reticles I have found something in the max magnification of 15-18 works well for practicing out to 1,000. Personally the larger magnification scopes come with both a weight and size that do not work...

    2023 spring turkey!

    I heard one report that the reason to move the season back a couple weeks is to allow the top bird to breed more. The argument was that once the pecking order has been established and if the dominant tom was taken out early. it negatively impacts the breading cycle. Additionally it really...

    Ammo/cartridge/bullet video ideas

    Would you consider asking about market trends with respect to traditional lead core bullets and Monos? The industry is starting to trend towards more mono offerings due in part to regulations and individuals concerns about meat contamination. However many rifle manufactures select a twist...

    Wisconsin DNR plans to release wolf comments ‘eventually’

    Currently the "plan" does not have any overall management numbers from what I have read. We will need to convince folks to get them off the protected list first before any new hunting could even be considered. I wonder if I put up a sign that no eating all the other animals on my property if...

    Snowmobiling near Pinedale WY Late March. Does anyone have any insight?

    I am thinking on taking the family to the Pinedale WY area in late March for spring break. I don't want to haul my 20+ year old machines out there and I was thinking of renting them for a day. Does anyone have any comments or thoughts on renting or potential conditions that time of the year...

    Chassis Recommendation

    I also like the KRG Bravo, I have 2 and based on price and application they work great. Another one to consider that is on the lower price end is the Magpul hunter. I have one for a 308 and it just works equally as well. I put a full length area 419 ARCA rail on the bottom of it and balances...

    Help Setting up my GF’s rifle

    Like others have mentioned, If it is in your budget, the Boyd's At one stock is a nice option. I have put that stock on for two different people and it really helped with the LOP and setting the cheek weld for comfortable alignment with the scope.
