What's your worst miss? Share your story!
2002 I was bowhunting deer with my wife. We were on a farm we had hunted the last couple years and had seen a lot of decent bucks and I'd taken one or two in previous years. This day was a beautiful late october day, sunny, calm and mid 40's. Deer were running around all over the place. We...- deer_shooter

Reloading for a beginner.
This is what I started with at least 20 years ago and still use and is all you need to get started. I added a good micrometer, case trimmer and recently a digital scale. I'm not really a hoarder but I've amassed enough components that the current shortages have not affected me. For me, its a...- deer_shooter

Why might a non-firearm be carried during gun seasons?
This thread makes my head hurt but here I am still reading and commenting. Damnit! When I think of felons, I don't picture a group of them sitting around and waxing philosophic on on going to deer camp, but that's just me. Just because someone is carrying a weapon not normally associated with...- deer_shooter

Sitka Jetstream jacket. It fits very well, surprisingly warm for its weight, blocks wind and fine in snow/drizzle etc. I wear this jacket for 90% of my hunts.- deer_shooter

Yet Another Vortex Going in for Warranty
I have 2 vortex viper scopes, a PST and HST as well as a Razor spotter. All have been fine with no issues whatsoever. I did have to send the spotter back for a new eyecup after knocking the scope off a shooting bench. My only complaint with the scopes is the zero stop isn't really a hard stop.- deer_shooter
