    Crappy weather tents (room to move)

    I’ve got a Cabelas Bighorn III with a Colorado stove. It’s very functional with 2-3 people. Sheds snow and wind well.

    Trigger Pull—Hunting versus Target Shooting

    I have my two hunting rifles set at 2.5 lbs. I shot a two pounds, but didn't feel comfortable and put them back at 2.5#. No issues here.

    Congrats! I always find great joy in seeing folks from the midwest or East chasing their dreams and eventually being successful. We live in a great country.

    Question About Leukotape

    Huge fan of LK here. I do a couple tricks. 1.) Tape sequence (a. tape from the back of heal to bottom "underneath" of heal, b. horizontally, c. vertically) Try to make sure the horizontal and vertical tape covers the ends of the underneath tape. This will help prevent the tape ends and corners...

    Cabelas alaskan guide series scope

    I think I've got about the same scope as you. It is originally made by Meopta. I got mine from the bargain cave back in 2016. Full price was $1000, I got mine for $150. The description said it was out of right windage. It was actually fine, somebody must have gotten cold feet. I mounted mine on...

    Low Country Boil

    Yep, I love doing fall boils almost as much as spring boils. Beautiful fall afternoons with a beer, boil and friends helps get my mind of not being in the field.

    Brass Trimming

    Thanks for the help fellas. I decided to trim any long cases to 2.09 and live with the new brass for now. I'll shoot the new brass this winter as I develop a load.

    What rifle to build?

    Interesting question. I have considered upgrading my Tikka 300 WSM with a new barrel and stock or getting a Christensen Ridgeline 6.5 PRC myself.

    Brass Trimming

    Folks, I'm a fairly new reloader. I've reloaded about 1000 rounds of pistol cartridges and just started reloading rifle rounds. I'm currently working up a load for 300 WSM. The Hornady and Nosler manuals call for a trim length of 2.1". I've got the following brass at the stated trim lengths...

    So much blind hate in the world.

    I saw that on social media. I grew up down south and was ashamed of what I saw at times.

    Workouts! What are we doing to prepare?

    I live close to a county lake recreation area. I'll run/walk the 6 mile loop around the lake 3-4 times per week. There is a decent (for Nebraska) hill at the area that his 50 in elevation change. I'll hike up it 15-20 times with a weighted vest twice a week. I used to do a class called Bodypump...

    Current state of affairs on HT

    I am a relatively new member to HT. I would like to say that the ugliness on this forum is far less than other forums. I like it here for that reason and the "WHY".

    Looking for recommendations on duck calls.

    A lot of good suggestions on this thread. I've owned a number of the calls suggested previously. I'd suggest buying a 2-3 of the entry level calls to see what you like the best. Echo, RNT, and Zink all make good single reeds. Try 1 or 2 single reeds and 1 or 2 double reeds. I haven't used a...

    Who else uses a tag as a purchase excuse?

    I’ve used tags as an excuse in the past. It caught up to me this year. The wife wanted the master bath remodeled. It was pricey but worth it. Lord knows she deserves it for supporting my hunting trips and expenditures.
