    Hunting access via dirt bike.

    Perfect opportunity for the Sig Cross/chassis folder type rifle! Just pack it in your bag...

    Moose in Santa Fe

    Local news mentioned that someone at either NMDGF/USFS thought it was the same bull seen up in Questa. Looking forward to collecting my first moose shed down in ABQ this spring...

    No Optics on ML in NM 2023

    Hopefully you're not shooting anything up that close! I haven't read the new regulation, but I doubt anything can be done like red dots or even 1x scopes. I think it's iron sights or pick another tag to put in for...

    Ford 7.3 gas opinions

    Great engine, but THIRSTY. My buddy has one. Couple tips from a Ford guy that has paid the stupid tax a couple times buying on impulse: Get the F350. I seriously do not understand the utility of 3/4 tons for Fords. Unless your state taxes you on GVWR, you want as much axle/payload as possible...

    Stolen ATV, What now?

    This may vary by state law, but I believe shops in my state are responsible for insurance of property under their control while performing a service. If your state requires this, the answer is simple: Failure by a service provider to retain adequate insurance is a choice to be "self-insured"...

    Stolen ATV, What now?

    My wife's truck was hit and the guys insurance paid for repairs. I sent a letter demanding $1800 in diminished value with documented appraisals. They ignored me and delayed. I then went to the local courthouse and filed a small claims suit, now asking for our time, mileage and expenses plus...

    Picked up a 6.5 Creedmoor, ammo?

    143gr Hornady ELD-X seems to be a consistently accurate and deadly cartridge for most makes/models in 6.5CM. Some don't like the weight retention, but they are accurate and deadly... Edit - to add, most of the large manufacturers I've dealt with use the 143 ELD-X factory cartridge as a...

    Ford Ranger Raptor

    I really want of of those too. My main reservation (besides $80k price tag) for a Raptor is that they're too wide. Ranger Raptor would be the sweet spot potentially. I saw a Bronco Raptor on the road yesterday for the first time. I'm a huge Ford fanboy and love the Bronco, but that just...

    Help Me Pick a Rifle

    I'd recommend Bergara B14 (ridge I think has threaded barrels?) rifles. These are well-regarded shooters, and are also built on Rem 700 style actions so all the aftermarket goodies fit. They're not the lightest, but that helps with recoil. You can also swap out for lighter/adjustable stocks...

    NM Unit 24

    I hit the popular spots you'll find mentioned on the web. Got into does every day, spikes a couple times. Found my first shed!

    PRC Cartridges?

    If you have trouble finding 6.5PRC ammo, availability for a cartridge that is not yet mass produced is going to be a shocker. 6.5PRC came out in 2018 and ammo is just now showing up online (but not really in stores regularly)... I predict 2027 before widespread availability of 7PRC.

    Randy Newberg on Matt Rinella's Podcast

    I listened to his podcast on Meateater and (in my respectful opinion) he came across a bit as sour grapes. I get that his secret garden is now being advertised on billboards and has turned many landscapes from barren to overrun. However, that cannot be blamed on hunting influencers - the blame...

    QuietKat e-bikes

    I'm still eyeballing those e-bikes, but from the research I've done the quietkat brand is way overpriced. Either save a few grand getting the same components in other Chinese bikes, or pay the same $5k for a Trek or other legit brand... E-bikes belong anywhere pack animals are allowed :p

    Sharing a rifle: bad idea?

    Get something like a Sig Cross or another chassis with adjustable cheek/length of pull. That's what I do so that me and my young boys can shoot the same rife while individual fit can be perfectly tailored.

    Help me pick out a truck and a fifth wheel

    Ford F350 all day long - they're the #1 seller for a reason, especially against the bowties. As mentioned above, don't bother with a 3/4 ton; price will be almost the same, ride will be no different (once you air down tires when not towing) but you'll gain at least 1k in payload. Honestly, all...

    2016 Jeep JK Mods

    Running 35x12.5's on my 2012 JK Rubicon. Manual transmission so the 4.10 gears are adequate. I ordered new CV axle shafts, Teraflex ball joints and new hub bearings, as well as Metalcloak high steer kit to match the gamechanger lift. Please DM me to donate to my GoFundMe! My next mods will be...

    2022 New Mexico draw results!!!!

    I drew ZERO out of FIFTEEN tags this year for me and my boys. Wow. I played the numbers too, putting in for tough 3rd choice hunts... I knew it was bad luck buying a bow before the results were in!

    How bad is a 3/4 ton truck off road?

    I calculated the cost of filling up my F350 every month vs the cost of buying a Prius plug-in and as long as diesel stays north of $4.50/gallon it's cheaper to just keep the truck parked unless towing. I kind of like zipping around town on electrons, so I'll probably just keep the car as a daily...

    Forest Service Issues ‘E-Bike’ Guidance

    So how do you feel about horses, mules, llamas, etc.? Those can even go in Wilderness areas e-bikes can't. If we want to even the playing field, let's outlaw every form of transportation and force all hunters to walk/hike everywhere.

    Hmm... looks like it's worth it for me to try out the new choke then!
