    .243 for my son

    I started my son out with a Tikka t3 compact .243. It is honestly my favorite gun to shoot. The shorter barrel makes the handling of the gun incredible and the youth stock that tikka provides allows for the gun to grow with them. The tikka youth stock can always just be replaced with any T3...

    MT - Changes in Hunting Regs/Units/Seasons coming this month

    I had the chance to listen in on the region 5 call and was able to ask a question. I noted that they are expanding elk shoulders seasons around the state and asked if their data was showing that the program was working. I also noted that from my perspective I thought the shoulder seasons were...

    For those of you that own Swaro....worth it and why?

    To the OP - I spent several years with Vortex and I asked these very questions... What made me change - I had friends with swaro optics, and while I was debating whether or not something was a bush, they could tell me if it was a 5x5 or 6x6 bull at very long ranges. So that little extra quality...

    Swaro Z5 users, your thoughts?

    I own a vx-5hd and have also been looking at the swaro products.... some others with direct experience can chime in, but I have read some post about the Swaro's eventually having issues with tracking true and the turrets essentially going to crap from recoil. This is my biggest concern and...

    Vortex opinions

    Optics of all brands, sizes, etc tend to hold their resale value pretty well (especially the big name brands with good warranties). So I suggest you keep buying and trying items until you find what you like. It takes all of 10 seconds to look up closed auction items on ebay and you can very...

    First Elk!

    I remember the feeling - killed my second Bull solo on a cold night, just like you describe. For future reference - Use that cold to your advantage. Hang the meat and come back in the morning. Daylight and sunshine sure do wonders for your spirits. Congrats.

    Elk Massacre near Hwy.89 between Rawling and White Sulpher Springs

    I have witnessed one of these massacres before, heading into Ennis, MT. As was mentioned, sadly people just lose their minds. In my event, trucks were literally driving off the highway as people were jumping out and shooting at elk. At each fence crossing there was more and more wounded elk...

    Toy Hauler for a 1/2 Ton?

    I have researched this topic for the past year. This simple answer, very limited options are available. The only option that i was considering is a 20' ATC toy hauler. It's a shorter trailer and the all-aluminum construction allows you to keep the weight manageable. If you go this route, keep...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    I rode the swing up with some oil stocks - Then about two weeks ago, just had a feeling I should cash out and take my money! Pretty happy with that decision now. Had my biggest run with FTK - Shortly after I sold out, they announced they are now producing hand sanitizer... might still be some...

    Best rewards credit card for hunters?

    I have had the Cabela's black card for several years now - It used to be awesome - But as mentioned, it has really gone downhill. following this thread to see what I should change out too. I have a United card for business, and that has also been a good deal

    BOG POD death grip tripod ?

    Very true, I know they serve a purpose. When I first looked at these I guess I was just frustrated, that for a few extra dollars they could have added a center post and made the final adjustments that much quicker and easier.

    BOG POD death grip tripod ?

    Besides being extremely heavy, for what it is... it does not have a center post. Without a center post, I can't see it being worth anything, other than shooting range type work, where you have a ton of time to adjust 3 legs to your liking. Just my two cents.

    There's a marmot in my truck

    Honest story - A friend told me that if you get a marmot in your engine bay (or in your case over the gas tank) they won't leave... I thought his story was BS, but I have now heard several others confirm his account. He tried: Bear Spray (Says he painted the marmots face orange... then got...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Lets just say as of today you are down 30% - Do you ride it out, sell and adjust your positions (try to shoot for better future growth), or sell and run for the hills. The old plan was to be conservative - That's what got me here. This is just extra cash I had on hand.
