    One Piece of Advice

    Spending time in the woods is more important than the newest trendy gear. Camping, hiking, turkey and small game season, whatever it takes. Spend more time and more nights outdoors.

    Spotting scope questions

    A guy at my shooting club is an optical engineer and used to work for Kowa in grad school. He had almost every spotter in their lineup including those giant highlander binos. I got to try them all. I went with the 774 and couldn't be happier.

    4 season tent

    I have the 4 man version and it will certainly handle tough conditions but is not enjoyable to live out of for long. I purchased a Kodiak Canvas 10x14 tent a couple years ago love it. Kids sleep in the cabelas tent now when we all go camping. If it’s a base camp at the truck, you’ll want...

    Spotting scope questions

    optics4rent.com If you find yourself wanting a spotter for more than this one hunt, then save your money and don't buy a mid level scope. Don't make the mistake so many of us have made wasting money on small steps up in performance and still wanting more. When you're ready, buy a Kowa.

    2021 Wyoming NR Elk Draw Results

    When I modified the app, there was a drop down for license type. I selected Regular. Next drop down I selected unit and type 4. I know what not to do next year but I'm excited to go elk hunting. The type 4 tag I selected is for the same unit I selected for type 1. I'll take it as a scouting...

    2021 Wyoming NR Elk Draw Results

    I modified my application after the initial submission. I know I selected Regular Type 4 as my second choice. Looking at the site, it says successful SPECIAL draw type 4. I might have just drawn a $1300 cow tag! I tried to call but of course the line is busy. This was my first year applying in...

    Ammo shortage causing hunting problem?

    Did they have a “reasonable” price on the 22LR? My local gunshop finally got on a pallet of Federal 22LR 800 round boxes and they were selling for $100 a box. I couldn’t believe it! It’s the only store that kept powder at normal prices until they ran completely out late last summer. My local...

    High dollar fluid heads. Why?

    Have the Sirui VA5 head and love it. Excellent for gridding with binos and awesome when I switch to my spotter. Much better than the previous heads I’ve used. Picked it up for $150 on amazon a couple yrs ago. You don’t need to spend the money of a manfrotto, gitzo, or outdoorsman

    When to replace tumbler media?

    Thanks for the replies. I didn't know you could add liquid to the dry media. I'll pick up some brass cleaner and give it a shot.

    When to replace tumbler media?

    I started reloading about 2 years ago for hunting rounds and some 5.56 for national match competitions. I have used up all the new brass I purchased and am now in the full reloading cycle. I have tumbled about 200 rounds of 7RM, 100 of 30-06, and about 500 rounds of 5.56. The last tumble...

    Funny Hunter Quotes/Lingo

    Knockers, instead of saying binos or binoculars. -Hey man, that’s a nice set of knockers you have. Thanks, they’re slightly used but a big upgrade from my old knockers! If making everything as hipster as possible is the new form of hunter recruitment, I hate to think where we’ll be in 20...

    A= bXz /12 ???? Any math students out there?

    You actually need to know the circumference of the drive wheel (2 x pie x radius of the drive wheel). Each revolution of the drive wheel moves the track by the distance of the circumference. (20 miles / 1 hour) * (1 hour / 60 minutes) * (5280ft / 1 mile) * (12inches / 1 ft) = 21120 inches per...

    Optics/Bullet for First Elk Tag

    I’ve carried a left hand Browning A bolt 30-06 for over 25 years. It was my only hunting rifle until I bought a Tikka T3x lite in 7RM about 5-6 yrs ago. I like having multiple options and they each have their pros and cons. Since you made your choice, I would upgrade your binos first, then any...
