Another big thank you to Schmalts for some quality Leupold glass for my Bergara. The new VX3HD is a definite upgrade from my VX3i that was previously on this rifle. I haven't gotten out to the range yet, but the biggest improvement I noticed right off the bat was the upper magnification ranges...
Nahh it's the workers with no options that are being forced into these abhorrent situations. All this talk about the vulnerable should be the ones to stay home and we provide them with zero mechanism to do so. Selfish nihilism. Half a million dead and we are still whining about freedum.
When I was 5 my great grandfather gave me a Remington model 11 12 gauge they had purchased back in the 1930's as well as a family handed down single shot .32 Belgian rifle. When my parents split my father took them and I didn't see them again until I demanded them back when I was 20 (they...
I feel like it brought her in. I have been all over in that area and seen tons of sign but never a pig before this one. I think the fact that I came in via the creek and stayed close to it when I set up helped. It's impossible to move in there without making a ton of noise. I set the speaker...
Public land piggies in Oklahoma. First one I've ever gotten. I tried to find a thread from 2 years ago where I was seeing sign but couldn't find pigs. One of you reccomend that I try calling. Came out here for spring break and brought a bluetooth speaker and an app. Paddled up a creek into a...
None of this holds water with me. Given the state of current technology the 3 day thing is absurd. We shouldn't be debating about extending it. We should be holding the gov agencies feet to the fire on why it still takes that long at all. Why the heck are we still acting like 6-9 months wait...
I tried to point out in the Wyoming thread that at least for me, hunting is what introduced me to public land and wildlife issues. I can tell you with some pretty good certainty that most folks who didn't grow up in and around hunting or western public lands have something close to zero...
I wish I was smart enough to think of this. Been looking for BDL bottom metal for a while now. I am swapping my Bergara HMR into a Hunter stock. They are perpetually out of stock and the used ones on ebay are outrageous. I finally broke down and got an overpriced DBM set up from Pacific Tool and...
I think there is something being missed here in the discussion about public lands advocacy and how it ties into hunting opportunity. I was moved to El Paso in 2008. For the first 10 years I lived here, I was unaware of the opportunities available for hunting and all other recreation on the...
Being a city dweller in Texas, I pretty much rely on out of state public land opportunities. I have all ready been priced out of the market here. It's not a requirement, but if I don't hunt out of state, I don't hunt.
The way I look at the question of limiting destructive devices ect is this:
If I the everyday citizen can't be trusted with it, how is it that the absolute worst of us should be in charge of who and how these types of things should be employed? Look at all the death and destruction we all...
I have 2020 TRD Offroad. I have not experienced the transmission issue that a lot of folks with the 3rd gens from the first couple years talk about. It has been nothing but spectacular in every aspect. Got way further into the mountains than my Ram could have gotten just because of the skinnier...
Some of the NM outfitters offer a supported drop camp situation where they point you in the "right direction" in the morning. Depending on the price they also help with pack out. They can manage more clients at a time this way, and the clients get some support without spending the same as they...
If weight is a factor that Magpul stock is like 3.5 pounds. I believe there are some drop in aftermarket set ups for aics mags in your factory stock. I know a couple of the newer American models come with them from the factory. You may be able to get set up directly by Ruger.
I am another vote for the topper camping set up. I have an ARE on my Tacoma, built a plywood platform to sleep on. I use a couple plastic tubs and an old footlocker to keep things organized. I also removed the rear seats from the truck and built a platform in there to stow my cooler and a few...
