    3-15 vs 4-20

    I personally would look through both first. I have a nikon Monarch 5-20 that on paper sounds great. But when you get over 15-16x it starts to get a little blurry. So 16-20x is magnifying a little more but it's a wash because it's blurry. If the scope your looking at remains crystal clear all the...

    Leupold Alumina caps

    There is no comparison. The Leupold caps are the only quality legitimate flip up caps out there, in a class of their own and worth every penny. I used to use butler creeks back in the day. Now my two main rifles have Leopolds with alumina caps. Everything else gets no cap at all. I'm not...

    Treestands and Harnesses

    I've hunted climbing stands and lock ons for 20 years and a saddle for 2. I really feel safer saddle hunting. I'm always connected from the second my feet leave the ground until I return. I bought my ropes from Cruzr along with my saddle. I didn't realize how high quality real climbing equipment...

    Well happy friggin election Oregon... :(

    We haven't had a honest selection, sorry I meant election, since 2016. And that was only because we showed up in numbers they didn't anticipate. I honestly doubt a majority of orgeans voted for that Gustapo nonsense. But like Stalin said, its not who votes that matters, it's who counts the...

    Cabelas optics - buyer beware

    This is exactly why I buy Leopold scopes. I can run it over with my truck, call them and tell them so, and get a new scope.

    Treestands and Harnesses

    No matter how I'm hunting, I always carry a razor sharp knife, a CAT tourniquet and a pack of quickclot In an outside easily accessible pocket. I figure everything else is a luxury but those few items could be pretty important if you ever were in an emergency

    Successful Letting them Grow stories???

    This is what it's like around my area. Passing a buck to "let him grow" usually equals you don't get a buck and your neighbor shoots him. I still don't like shooting small deer, bucks or does, I like them to have had a chance to live a couple of years. I dont mind passing up a 4 or 6 pointer...

    New predator gun

    Depending on your volume of shooting, I've also split a red fox into two halves at 20 yards with my 7mm rem mag, if your not trying to save fur. The ballistics of a rifle like that are quite good and the margin for error goes up a bit.

    New predator gun

    I've shot roughly 5 foxes with a glock 19 and another 5 or 6 with a .223 ar. I must say the .223 shooting 50 grain varmint tip rounds is impressive on a fox. They are done. I vote 223. Definitely enough round to get you to 300 yards, even for coyotes. I'm a huge fan of having cartridges that...

    No Optics on ML in NM 2023

    I'm really starting to appreciate Virginia's hunting regulations. The only things I can say nobody likes is them banning doe pee and feeding deer. But yall out in the western states got it hard and seemingly are going backwards. The purpose of muzzleloader season in my opinion is to make sure...

    Leupold cds and elevation

    Lots of good info on here! What I do is I use the standard cds turret marked in moa on my scope. I chrono my gun, go to hornadys awesome online ballistics calculator and get the moa drop for every 50 yards. Then sight in at 100 yards. Then I take a fine tip silver sharpie and on the top mark a...

    New Elk addict from VA

    Good info! I think I was going off of what I read in the regulations a year or two ago when it said elk were considered the same as deer and if you had deer tags you could take an elk. I wish they'd expand them all throughout the mountains of va and not just in a zone. Even if they close the...

    New Elk addict from VA

    Makes me wonder if in years to come we'll start to get folks from Colorado traveling out here to hunt elk. Our mountains sure are alot smaller and I'd think easier to hunt on.

    New Elk addict from VA

    I know its an older thread, but thought it's relevant. Have you seen you may not need to travel to CO to hunt elk anymore? They reintroduced them in VA and they're open season to shoot. Treated just like deer. I live in the mountains of western VA along the WV line and I don't think we have any...

    Treestands and Harnesses

    Leg straps, two of them. You can probably buy them seperate. All good harnesses should have them attached already. Or you could start saddle hunting.. I just started last year and I am a convert from lifelong treestand user. Your always connected to the tree in something you can suspend in...

    Quality Optics? worth it? REVIEW.

    More important to me than the world's best glass quality is some other features like zoom ratio and field of view and turret system. I've missed a good opportunity or three due to a cheap 3-9 on 3 and a deer moving by quickly up close and had way too little field of view and too much zoom. I'm...

    New Rangefinder Sig Sauer, Leupold other?

    I have the Leopold rx1200. It's absolutely incredible in my opinion (my old rangefinder was akin to a cinderblock that never worked). It's so accurate at 700 yards I can range something, walk forward 3 feet and range again and it'll say 699. It has a bow angle compensating mode and an angle...

    SIG Sauer rifle scope?

    My buddy has one, you get what you pay for. A decent budget scope that has budget glass. But for alotta folks that's all they want.

    Broadhead Selection

    Oh and unlike alot of mechanicals, they have no deflection on quartering shots. The broadheads 2/3 the way in the deer before the main blades open

    Broadhead Selection

    The only mechanical head I trust is swhackers. I see lots of benefits, they don't waste a bunch of energy trying to punch a 2" entry hole, the blades are still razor sharp to slice all the important stuff, and they really truly do fly like field points. I've shot a few deer and have had nothing...
