    One more day to vote. Buzz…forecast looks dim to support your claim.

    Raccoons

    I’ve lived trapped them successfully w/ a brushed-in cage using peanut butter & peppermint extract. Keeps possums, cats, and skunks from going in the trap.

    Idaho Seeks to Limit Scope Turrets and Rangefinders

    The crux of the problem right here. It’s not the hunters, it’s the gear manufacturers selling the technology. The discussion on limiting technology for LR hunting is overdue. Ok so rangefinders and turrets are not the best intersection, but the general idea is palatable. Can’t enforce shot...

    National Pronghorn Organization

    I’m in. I love pronghorn and pronghorn ecosystems. If there is a zoom call or fundraising startup, count me in. I’d be interested in helping with recruiting efforts. I know that step is quite a ways down the line from a lot of things that have to happen first, but getting an Iowa chapter off the...

    OPPOSE BLM land Transfer in ND!

    I know, right? I think the BHA oversimplified the issue.

    Ok except Mike Lee because he’s a douchecanoe

    OPPOSE BLM land Transfer in ND!

    Ok, got it. Makes sense for the tribes, and for ND (sort of). The federal government, and by extension the 99.8% of the US population that does not live in ND, gets nothing in the deal. Right? We get nothing? We just lose our public land to enrich North Dakotans and the tribes in ND? OK, so...

    OPPOSE BLM land Transfer in ND!

    Read it. Issue still makes zero sense to me. How is the transfer a net benefit to the State of ND?

    This has been bothering me for a while.

    “Chomping” at the bit. Have you been around horses?? They champ at bits. I’ve yet to witness one “chomp” at their bit. The absolute WORST: “There’s two bulls on the second ridge.” “Where at?” You don’t end a sentence with a preposition. Some examples don’t sound too bad. Ex. “You don’t know...

    Montana pronghorn draw

    Drew, first year applying. Proud owner of no points in any state now. 3 more tags to hunt in WY, so it’s Year of the Antelope, apparently 😎

    Catch All Fishing Thread

    I’ve only caught a handful at the local lake, and they’re all small. By the fish survey data a 6 lb sheep would be massive, and 0.5 to 1 lb is typical. The Des Moines river has some lunkers.

    I’ve heard that in clear waters they are gold color instead of pinkish gray.

    Fun fight on 8 lb test.

    Catch All Fishing Thread

    I kept the stones. A handful more and I can make a necklace. They taste as good as any freshwater fish. Cut the lateral line out and don’t let the slime touch the fillet. White and flaky flesh, but trout-like firmness.

    Why can't I figure out my scope? Am I really that dense?

    For my bow, the “12 yard pin” and the 25 yard pin are the same pin. I know that all shots between 12-25 yards will impact slightly high when using that pin. All shots under 12 yards AND all shot beyond 25 yards will impact low when using the 25 yard pin. The “5 yard pin” is waaay below the 25...

    Why can't I figure out my scope? Am I really that dense?

    Your 80 yard shot group is a 1.5” circle. That’s huge for a high-power rifle. Factory ammo on a 6.5prc should be about twice as tight. With such a wide group you’re going to have a really frustrating time sighting in, and shooting in general. Instead of monkeying around with multiple different...

    Why can't I figure out my scope? Am I really that dense?

    Always sight in rifles at 100. Sight in at 100 does not mean zero at 100. You should be sighting in at 100 for a height above zero that will produce a 200 yard zero…always. The 100 yard impact elevation is calculated based on load data (chrono too, if you are hand-loading). Mine is +0.8”. Yours...

    Why can't I figure out my scope? Am I really that dense?

    You have a 300 yard zero. The place on the 80 yard target where the bullets impact is the “other zero”. It’s actually <80 yards, but because your shots are not tightly grouped, it is harder to see. This is why you always sight in rifles at 100 yards, then confirm at 200. My creedmoor is 0.8”...
