The likelihood that individuals collecting discarded antlers are contributors to conservation is very high. There is a direct correlation between sportsmen and antler collectors. These individuals purchase licenses and tags and support wildlife conservation. Harassment of wintering game is...
I am close to Eastern Oregon. I have lots of experience with stacking coyotes. I don’t start hunting them until about November and I would require written permission to hunt them. Vale, Ontario, Nyssa wouldn’t be too far for me. Send me a DM.
I wanted a Leopold Freedom in just a standard 3-9x40. I did some poking around on Amazon and saw that they were easily within my price range. @schmalts made the recommendation of an Athlon Argos HMR 2-12x42. I figured he knew how to maximize my price range with features and went with it. The...
Buying a rifle scope from predator optics was a big mistake for me, because now I want to upgrade all the scopes on all the rifles. The confidence boost that I have on my rifle after replacing the factory freebee on my Howa (Nikko Sterling) is unreal. @schmalts made a recommendation for my price...
My 11 yr old son and I always laugh about how my binoculars are worth more than the truck. We’ve spent a lot of time listening to podcasts and chasing animals in the ice cold AC traveling all over. I just gotta make sure I always have enough money sitting around to replace it if it strands us.
I told him not to sweat the accident. The truck is a disposable camera! with that bumper curled up, I knew the tailgate wasn’t opening so I took the bumper off. With the bumper removed I was pleasantly surprised that the tailgate still functioned. Worse case scenario, I would just go buy one of...
Thought it has been a while since I have given updates on the truck. I loaned it to a friend and he ran a stop sign. Before he could clear the intersection the truck got cornered by a Silverado. The 2007 Silverado got totaled and my truck got crunched pretty good. My friend was super apologetic...
To explain my posterity. I have always only wanted 2 kids. My first wife wanted more! She really took to the extra attention that she got with a baby bump and she started to really get into it. She was obsessed with the natural birthing process. Her obsession resulted in
stacking 5 kids. The...
Ex-wife will be watching the other 5 and 1 will be with friends if she goes into labor, but this is starting to talk a bit of sense into me. Maybe I’ll stick around.
Our last son was a little early.
I have her convinced I can go as long as the dr checks how dialated she is on the 7th. As long as there isn’t any widening going on, I might be able to slip out.
My wife is due Sept 26th. I went ahead and purchased and elk tag that opens September 15th. I will do my duty to do my best to check in with my Zoleo on a nightly basis to stay in contact. I would love to hear some hunt talkers stories about priorities and hunting to the limit on a due date.
I might be willing to pay for shipping if you are willing to part with dies too? I also lay over in Denver once a month so I guess I could just check the rifle if you have a locking gun case or something.
This sounds like it is going to be a lot of fun. We are setting up about 75 yards from a feeder and there will be a gradual light that increases as it detects movement. I am packing pillow cases and zip ties and my plan is to get them quartered out as soon as possible.
I have noticed that the...
Shot placement is something that I haven’t really considered. I’d like to keep the skull and most people we will be hunting with aim for the noggin. I am thinking front shoulder or heart shot. Is there a way to identify boars from 75 yards? I sure would like a skull with cutters.
