    2021 kamikazee elk

    A minivan is the ultimate ingognito cruiser. When I was a teenager my friends and I preferred to take my mothers minivan anytime we were doing something stupid. We NEVER got pulled over in that thing. It was also devoid of any girls... but the pros outweighed the cons. Best of luck on your hunt.

    Venting - encounter with a butthead

    Don’t let that guy get to you, some people cannot be reasoned with no matter what. Look at it as the glass is half full, you got to ruin his day for a second time!

    Who’s building arrows yet?

    That’s almost exactly my set up, I’m shooting a 125 grn VPA 3 blade. I’m hoping they tune alright but I may have to bump my draw weight up to 70. The OT2 tool put my set up just slightly stiff.

    Who’s building arrows yet?

    I tried to go extra high vis with them this year. I lost an arrow with a broadhead while packing out last year and had a hard time finding it. Decided to make them a little easier to spot. I used a right helical with a little offset.

    Who’s building arrows yet?

    I spent the day yesterday putting some arrows together for the fall. I went with victory RIPs and 70 grain ethics inserts. I had several different colors of wraps and vanes and couldn’t decide what color combo to go with and ended up with a hodge-podge of arrows. Went with 4 fletch, not sure if...

    Does anyone have any cheap, warm weather, camo, hunting pants they would recommend? (and matching shirt to look the part even if I cant play it)

    For an even cheaper casual Friday/ ametuer outdoor enthusiast pair of pants, Eddie Bauer sells their pro guide pants. If you have an outlet they sell the same pants with a different name for 40$. Very comfortable and I don’t feel bad when I trash them. Outdoor research sells their Ferosi pants...

    CO Springs - What to do?

    Not to be a debbbie downer but my wife and I went out west for the first time last year as well. We stayed in Denver a few days then Estes and then decided to drive down to Colorado Springs because we heard so much about it. We had less then a stellar experience there and drove right back to...

    PA Turkey Season

    Congrats, nice birds. I got to talk with a couple gobblers in Potter County last week. Made a few new guy mistakes with my calling and didn’t seal the deal but had a blast. Gobbler hammered for 45 minutes but couldn’t get him past 100yds.

    Off Season Upgrades and Tinkerings...

    I put a new HS precision stock on an old Ruger M77 in .270 Win. So far I like the upgrade.

    The real question is, how many people slid into your DMs after thinking the photo was legit??

    Have Any of You Observed a Wildlife Law Violation ? What Did you Do ?

    A place I was archery hunting, there was a guy I bumped into that used a 4 wheeler to get to his spot. Not an egregious violation but 4 wheelers are not allowed there. At first it bugged me because it was 430 in the morning and I had an hour hike in the dark with a tree stand on my back to where...

    Waders

    In my opinion you only get a few seasons out of breathable waders. I’m in season 4 of my current waders and they need aqua seal pretty much on every seam. I usually go middle of the road $150-200. I have too many other hobbies to justify $500+ on waders that will inevitably leak in a few seasons.

    People Fleeing cities? Not according to Zillow

    Wife and I finally found a house we liked a few weeks ago and put an offer in. Our realtor suggested at least 25k over asking on an already overpriced house. I couldn’t stomach doing that so we offered 15k over, still made me sick. 3 others offered the same as we did, except no one else...

    Reloading room setup - looking for ideas

    Not sure what your skill level is but I got pretty technical for my setup. The only down side is the whole operation comes to a halt and your powder spills everywhere if you get stingy on the case lube.

    Are you the same guy that’s been calling about my vehicle factory warranty expiring?

    The nicest hunters?

    Turkey hunters for me. The vast majority of turkey hunters I’ve bumped into have been really friendly and good to talk to. Generally ask one another if you had any action and both parties politely lie to one another like gentleman. However a forest service ditch digger kicked me out of the state...

    Tarnished Brass

    Another newb question... FL resized this brass as per RCBS instructions. Set up the die several times and they all came out with a ring near the head. I searched the web and came up with several answers ranging from normal to case head separation. Brass is once fired Winchester cases out of two...

    Tarnished Brass

    I have quite a bit of very old brass that I’m getting ready to reload. I ran it through a tumbler with walnut media and nu-finish. They shined and cleaned up pretty well but a lot of them still have some type of dark tarnish. Any tips to remove that? It’s smooth to the touch and seems like it’s...
