    What’s your occupation?

    Structural Steel detailer (self-employed) in the commercial construction industry. I provide fabrication drawings (done on computer/CAD) for steel companies to build the heavy steel (I-beams, columns, girders, etc) and ship to site..... basically all the mainframe steel that ironworkers walk on.

    single rifle

    Thanks! Super happy with that stock as it is actual wood and NOT a laminate. I think for my next rifle (bolt action) i will go with the gloss walnut as i luv that classic look. Cant decide.... 270, 308 or 300 WM.

    Onx maps for deer?

    Thank you for responding and giving some great advice. I'am probably overthinking it, but just want to do as much as I can to be successful. I should just do what I can and enjoy the trip no matter the outcome.

    Onx maps for deer?

    I have basic knowledge on reading topo maps but I'm inquiring about general habitat. As a lifelong Michigan deer hunter, I know that deer are best found near agricultural fields with some sort of cover (woods, etc.). I tried to apply that knowledge out west and hunt small (obscure) pieces of BLM...

    Onx maps for deer?

    So here's my deal...... I'am fairly new to western hunting (with a couple of hunts under my belt) and have used my ONX maps for the past few years but have struggled with certain aspects since day one. For the most part, I understand how to use the layer features, but applying that info to...

    A tribute to my brother

    And just maybe that was his way of letting you know he was thinking of you, by sending that buck in your direction? Either way, that was a nice way to remember him by and a lasting memory that will stay with you.
