    Ruger American Ranch - Which Caliber?

    .223 it is. Just picked up some Barnes 70 grain TSX. That ought to be a critter getter. Taking my SIG Cross to the dealer this weekend. Accurate rifle, but I just cannot get used to the chassis system on it. I feel like I can't keep the rifle steady. No beef to it. Anyway, might look for...

    Ruger American Ranch - Which Caliber?

    They have the rebate going now for $100. Been looking at ranch rifles for a while. Don't really need one, but with the price. Just don't know which caliber. I reload for all listed except the 7.62x39. What caliber and why?

    That's a good idea, yest more and more wisdom is telling me to go back and retry the climber, but go in earlier and take a very slow time getting up the tree.

    I am sorry to hear about your injury. I hope you are healing well. My late son's friend the next county over uses a saddle and has done very well. Shot 2 does opening afternoon about 5 minutes apart and took a bruiser last year.

    Range Control. Air Force background? Haha. You can leave it up for the season. Problem is they get stolen.

    Good thought. I may just try and get 10 feet up or so. We still have leaves, but they are starting to turn. Later in the year I will be sticking out.

    Man, I may need to do something like that. I don't have the engineering mindset, but I can follow a pattern.

    I would set it for the season. The stands have to come down at the end. I have a couple of spots I would want to stick to, so once put up, the stand would stay. I think I could get one of those deer carts to haul it out to the spot. Like the idea of removing the lower section.

    Original post, can't use a climber due to physical disability. Climbing sticks would not work either, as I don't have the dexterity to set up or climb up and in.

    Just not working for getting full vision of the areas I hunt.

    I am hunting a military installation. Very blessed to have the opportunity. It is the flip of a coin each week as to what areas are open. I bought a new climber. I have used them extensively for bowhunting, but have not hunted for about a decade as life got in the way. I have gotten in...

    Where to put a stand - Picture attached

    I appreciate it and did exactly what y'all said. Was more of a scouting trip this time. Area I was in was off an unkept fire break. Got a bit of a lift and tires on the truck. Saw quite a few vehicles parked at the entrance because they could not go any further. I found a spot on a hill...

    Where to put a stand - Picture attached

    I found a great area right off the break. High spot and you can see down into the river bottom. Much better for a rifle, but that season will be coming soon. The wind has to be right, though.

    Where to put a stand - Picture attached

    Well, I got out there. Found a decent tree and when I finally got up in the tree saw where I should have been. Haha. It was a better high point. The stream area with the oaks was so thick, there was no way to get in there. On a bad front, I am 90% disabled (soon to be 100%). After it...
