    Decoying tips?

    I'm headed to CO in 2 weeks to hunt antelope. I have a decoy and know a few tricks but am always open to more ideas. I've heard that it is best to wait until you within 100-200 yards away before letting them see the decoy. Any other tips? I will be hunting with a muzzleloader on private land.

    Hunting hearing protection??

    I want to buy a pair of ear buds that protect my ears and allow me to hear while turkey hunting and deer hunting. What do you recommend in the $100-300 range?

    Don’t Procrastinate or waste opportunities to hunt

    My father in law dreamed of a pack in elk hunt for years. He had it all planned in his head to do it the year he retired. Sadly, he never made it to retirement. His last words to me as we talked about elk hunting was, go now. That year, I started to build points and have been able to go elk...

    Cold feet

    Here is what works for me and my wife for sitting in tree stands. Take a Ice King liner that is 2 sizes bigger than your foot and place them in a pair of boot blankets. Wear rubber boots to your stand. When you get to your stand put a chemical hot pack in the liner and swap foot wear. I just...

    I want to build a 7mm

    I have a 7wsm that Hells Canyon built for me on a Tikka action. I'm shooting 175 eldx at 3000fps with RL22. I have not tried other bullets yet. It is very accurate and a blast to shoot. It will be my go to when I head out west again.

    Tuna - San Diego

    I went last August with 6 buddies on an over night. There were 22 guys on the boat with a captain and 2 crew. It was fun but I'm not sure I will do it again for a few years. We all got a few 20-30 pound yellow tails. The crew of our boat were nicknamed "boat carnies" What was interesting...

    I have 3 different bullets on the bench for my new 7-08. I have 150 Partitions, 150 Ballistic Tips and 162 ELDX bullets. What would you pick for a deer hunting round where shots will be 20-200 yards?

    CO 116/117/122

    Thanks. Looks like 1 non-res applied and drew the tag in 2021. The first time reading these sheets is like reading the directions to assemble a new producet make in China.

    CO 116/117/122

    I might have a chance at hunting this combined unit on private ground. My two questions are: what are numbers like in this eastern edge of CO and can a guy draw a non-res muzzleloader tag on 0 points. Thanks

    Remage barrel will not thread on??

    My smith called with good news last night. He cleaned up the threads and was able to make it fit. He said the action was actually undersized and needed to be opened a bit. He feels that it is going to be just fine!! $80 is worth the piece of mind knowing it is fixed.

    Remage barrel will not thread on??

    I called Northland and he said it was an issue with my receiver and to have a gunsmith look at it. Any recommendation on a smith that knows how to clean up a 700 action and would be willing to look at this?

    Remage barrel will not thread on??

    After talking to the local smith, we believe that I may have been given a Savage barrel? The barrel nut threads perfect but it wouldn't thread in the action???? I'm hoping this is the case and that I didn't mess up anything with my action. Mistakes happen so hopefully Monday morning I can...

    Remage barrel will not thread on??

    I'm attempting to put my NSS barrel on my 700 action but I'm only able to thread it into the action about 1/2" before it gets super tight. Are the thread specs do thight that I can't spin the barrel on without a vice normal?

    I have Kuiu gators. Maybe tomorrow I will try my combo out and go look for some deer sign in the fresh snow we got this week. I'm ready to hear a hound tree!!!
