    Burris Fullfield

    Burris Fullfield are the nicest cheap scope out there. I own two and they work just fine as "set and forget" type optics. A lot of guys have really beaten the hell out of them and still had good results.

    Chesapeake Bay Conservation Petition

    Not much, as it turns out. They've been caught, cited, fined and continue to generally disregard the law. I have personally documented and reported their boats deploying fishing gear in a shipping channel, and their track record of dumping waste onto beaches is well documented for years before...

    Chesapeake Bay Conservation Petition

    The astonishing part about this whole thing is that Omega has been able to do this with virtual impunity for my entire life, regardless of how many federal laws they've broken. It literally took that spill of thousands of dead bull redfish occurring on a beach where the governor of a mid...

    Chesapeake Bay Conservation Petition

    100% agree with this. Striper over 30 pounds are pretty universally poor eating quality, and the hero photos on the dock with limits of big gravid females are gross to see. If they put a moratorium on fish over 35" and started enforcing some of the rules they've allowed Omega to blatantly...

    Sheep in the rain

    This is better content than anything I have ever seen with a hashtag next to it. Thanks for the writeup. I am infinitely jealous

    Another fine quality Vortex Diamondback…

    Because of this: https://www.namogoo.com/blog/consumer-behavior-psychology/psychology-of-discounts/ Vortex has a super successful business model, but people really need to understand what's going on with them before they buy. Apart from the Razor AMG (which means American Made Glass), they are...

    Antelope...Lets See Them!!!

    I see cutters and mass. Was a little worried about my ability to field judge antelope but as soon as I saw those on my dude, the deal was sealed. Follow up with him living his best life

    Another fine quality Vortex Diamondback…

    SHVs are great indeed. I have one and love it. However, both that and the Veracity are 30mm scope bodies and consequently add ~35% to their total weights. Look at the Trijicon Huron line. Simple, reliable, lightweight BDC type optics...

    Looks a lot like where we were. First tag I've drawn in NV, very interesting experience.

    DIY pronghorn euro - stinky prongs

    Chemically similar, so I wouldn't imagine table salt to be harmful. Taxidermist who's tanning the cape for me recommended that cutting the ends of the cores makes a better and more sanitary mount. Not like it's visible anyway, so I figured I'd do it the way he advised

    DIY pronghorn euro - stinky prongs

    Necromancing this as I'm doing one for a shoulder mount. Got the sheaths off, now about to boil the skull plate and cut off the last 1/3 off the bony protrusions that fill them. Don't have any borax on hand- will filling them with regular table salt do the trick or would that damage the sheaths?

    Do You Sight In At 100, 200 or MPBR?

    All excellent reasons in support of a 100 yard zero. Additionally, you don't have to sift through environmental factors to determine if your data is accurate at 100- at 200 or more, density altitude, temperature, wind and others can cause you to get bad data. Shooting verification groups farther...

    Sheridan Horseback Riding

    Looking like that may be the case. None of the adjacent units in the Bighorns actually has an elk season open then- 08/09OCT is actually between when archery closes and rifle season opens- but I do suppose everyone is in prep mode by then. If anyone knows someone I've missed, shoot me a PM!

    Sheridan Horseback Riding

    Called them and their tours end in September. Starting to look like this may be an impossible ask hah

    Sheridan Horseback Riding

    Going to be near Sheridan for the weekend of 07-09OCT22 doing a combo hunting/ sightseeing trip. After we cover the public in my Pronghorn unit, which should take about an hour, I thought it'd be fun to show my girlfriend the Bighorns by horseback. If anyone runs horseback tours in the Sheridan...

    Chesapeake Bay Conservation Petition

    As with most components of ecosystems, the two are closely related. As menhaden populations are driven down by Omega's fleet, predators shift to other prey species, which in this case has been shown to include blue crabs. So, you hear a lot of guys saying "keep all the redfish you can, they're...

    Chesapeake Bay Conservation Petition

    Thanks so much for all the support, guys. This is a really critical fight for the bay and one I think we finally have a good shot of winning.

    Chesapeake Bay Conservation Petition

    Because of stuff like this: A little hard to believe that stuff like this is still effective or actually happens in 2022, but what you see with Omega is straight up bribery as if taken out of an old western movie. Glenn Youngkin is VA's current governor, for anyone wondering.

    Chesapeake Bay Conservation Petition

    Not often these days that you see a conservation story starting to go straight in the right direction, but that's shaping up to be the case in Virginia. I'll do my best to keep a very long story short for anyone who's not familiar. The Chesapeake Bay ecosystem rests on the shoulders of a...

    Drought in Alaska

    Yikes. That's barely VMC. Good news is, AK is doing better than the lower 48 in terms of drought; bad news is... everything else
