    Anybody wanna talk me out of a bird dog?

    Training a bird dog is great. Just remember that it's kind of like a construction project. It takes twice as long and costs twice as much as you think it will. That's not a reason not to do it but just know you're getting into more than you realize....even if you've done it years ago. Dive...

    SUV vs. Truck for Upland Rig & Daily Driver?

    That's what I've been driving for close on 10 years now. Perfect truck and perfect size. I have the first generation that is a little smaller. Only complaint I have is the gas mileage.

    Ranking 10 Common Bolt Action Hunting Rifles Under $750

    I bought a Savage 110 Hunter in 6.5 CM almost a year ago now. I really like it and it is more accurate than I am. I like the adjustable stock quite a bit. I have it set up for my 12 year old son right now with a shorter pull and a higher comb. The only gripe I have about it is the magazine...

    Building recreational cabins

    That's just grand! That's a dream of mine. Just can't get past property prices in my neck of the woods. Sigh.

    Which Items are Worth Upgrading

    In my experience there is a point of diminishing return on gear. Somewhere in the 2/3 of the cost of the really crazy expensive stuff is where most stuff just gets fancier and a fraction lighter. If your goal of upgrading gear is weight then that can be an expensive game to play. If you goal...

    Cows move in Elk leave

    Interesting discussion. I've often wondered about this. It seems that I have a knack for picking areas to try that have tons of cattle in them during bow season. I spend more time finding cattle than I do anything else it seems. OnX needs to add a layer for "public land grazing allotments"...

    Fire kit

    Pretty much the same as a lot of you. One lighter in the pocket, one in the kit with some matches for backup. Cotton balls etc. The one thing I always have is a piece of aluminum foil. I put my fire starter and tinder on the foil so it burns hot and stays isolated from any ground moisture (...

    It's about time to introduce myself

    Welcome from Colorado. Careful of them points. You don't want to get too many before using them!

    Trade or sell Components.

    And amazingly two hours later they still have them! Maybe things are getting a bit better.

    Should I change arrows?

    I never did either until I shot my Hunter XT arrows along side a micro diameter into the same target from the same bow. Maybe that's not a real useful comparison. Who knows if it really matters in the end. We'll see after a year of shooting the Day Six arrows if I end up back where I started...

    Bear spray carry

    I carry it on my bino harness. I carry it vertically though. I had it on my pack for a long time but I got tired of remembering to take it out of the holster and putting it in my cargo pocket when I took my pack off.

    Should I change arrows?

    So I've been shooting the Day Six arrows at 3D targets at the club I belong to as much as I can since they came and I assembled them. Have to say they shoot darn good. I was never able to get the consistency I'm getting now with my old Hunter XT arrows. Gluing up the inserts was a bit of a...

    Wearing Contacts in the Backcountry?

    Single day wear/disposable contacts for me. I can't function with my glasses very well but I still carry them hunting just in case. Like others have said...the tried and true bar of soap is the easiest thing. It doesn't leak or expire. I carry a small light weight wash cloth as well that I...

    How important is it to you to own a Handgun?/ Tangent CAR THREAD

    Yep, it's important to me. My Father-in-law only shoots pistols and revolvers and while he has plenty and is always happy to bring a few to the range I like having my own so I feel like I'm contributing to our range visits. He is a .22 pistol guy but that's largely because he's lost a lot of...

    Help! Erratic broadhead flight

    Help! Erratic broadhead flight

    This is probably an obvious question but are your broadheads the same grain weight as your field points? Straight fletching could be contributing.

    SUV vs. Truck for Upland Rig & Daily Driver?

    I lean more towards the SUV design because I like the dog in the heated/AC part of the vehicle. I have an old Sequoia (2002). Sufficiently beat up so I could afford it. Big enough I can sleep in the back with gear. Seats 8 adults when needed. Enough clearance to drive anywhere I need. Gas...

    Anybody else have spare scopes for thier Hunting Rifles

    Iron sights as a backup would be nice. My brother in law's Remny 700 had them. Always thought it was a neat rifle.

    Weight saved between barrels

    But the 308 ammunition weighs more than the .243 :)
