    Higher end production rifle choices

    I may be wrong, but I think the A-Bolts were not as well received as the newer X-Bolts have been.

    Higher end production rifle choices

    I was in the market for a 'one gun to rule them all' big game rifle last year and ultimately settled on the Browning X-Bolt Hell's Canyon Speed. I had pretty much the same requirements and I went out and handled the Sako Finnlight, Sako A7 Roughtech Pro, Nosler M48, Bergara B14, Kimber Hunter...

    Tikka T1x Multi Task Rimfire .22LR

    Back in November I went out to Nebraska from Chicago to deer hunt and made my usual rest stop in Coralville, IA at Scheels to pick up some ammo and stretch my legs for a bit. To my surprise, when I perused the rimfire rifle rack they had two Tikka T1xs on the shelf, one in .17HMR and one in...

    Howdy from Illinois

    Where were you all last night for the Yeti Tundra Tour? Shameless plug as an IL BHA board member: We've also got the first of many pint nights next week in Naperville, IL if you would like to come out. Details below: We'll be having some more pint nights further downstate soon, too!

    Browning X bolt

    In my X-Bolt Hell's Canyon Speed I was getting fairly large groups until I let the barrel cool to the touch between shots(about 90-120 seconds). The thin barrel profile, even despite the fluting, just gets a little wild after 2-3 shots. The groups are still dead deer/elk sized when hot but they...

    I'm on the highway to...

    Swapped some scopes around in preparation for taking the Hell's Canyon to AZ for Coues deer. Now there's a 4-16x44 Vortex Viper HS-LR on top, primarily for the exposed elevation turret and zero stop which the HS lacks both of. I also added an anti-cant level too just to try and minimize all room...

    Midwest BHA Group??

    Illinois's chapter is getting off the ground right now. I'm on the BoD and we're probably going to be official in April, but there's a chance it'll happen before then. If you're an area member keep an eye on your email and Instagram and Facebook for announcements about upcoming pint nights and...

    How do you carry your ammo?

    I have a stock pack where I keep a spare loaded magazine. I recently picked up a couple Tuff QuickStrips for my new 7mm-08 and will keep one in my bino harness and one in my pack's lid as well. http://www.tuffproducts.com/7002-quickstrips-black-2-set/ That'll bring me to 18+1 capacity between a...

    Any Illinois guys get your permits yet?

    Union this year - going to give the Wilderness areas a try since they *shouldn't* be as overrun as some of the places I've hunted in northern IL.

    Video editing

    In Premier the method I'd use to highlight an area is to create a matte layer in black with probably 30-40% opacity except for a masked circle around the deer.

    Any Illinois guys get your permits yet?

    Tired of Cold Hands

    I got a pair of these lobster-mitt style glove/mittens last season that worked out pretty well. Warm, but still leave a bit of dexterity and use of the index finger. https://www.outdoorresearch.com/us/en/mens/mens-gloves/mens-alpine-gloves/mens-highcamp-3-finger-gloves/p/2432670001009

    Hello from Illinois!

    Hi from most likely a nearby suburb. I'm working with a couple others to get an IL BHA chapter going. We've got a Facebook group you can check out to chat with some other like minded individuals. https://www.facebook.com/groups/144390299559339/

    Make MT Sheep/Goat Once in a Lifetime?

    Since that ultimately takes dollars to pull off, how about an increase in resident tag fees to help fund it? Only looking at deer or elk if MT for example doubled the resident fees from ~$20 for elk and ~$15 for deer to $50 for elk and $35 for deer that'd more than double the revenue from those...
