First Archery Elk hunt
SHARP fixed blade broadheads. And whatever edge they have out of the box ain't sharp enough 99 times out of 100. Learn to sharpen and then to strop a broadheads. PITA for the first 10 mins of learning then it's easy peasy. I find it relaxing like cleaning a favored firearm after a range session... -

Chest freezer
We added a set of hasp locks and padlocks on our freezer when we spent a couple years working for the USFS. I added one of those "bear proof container" stickers from the forest service to it and never had anyone give it a second glance. This was while it lived outside of our parked RV. We have... -

Which is harder: public land archery or public land rifle?
That only works if you have a flat brimmed hat and a Keep Hammering tattoo. -

Cleaning guns that are not used?
If you aren't shooting them a TON then there is zero reason to deep clean. Just inspect for.rust annually and give them a fresh wipe.down with a very light coat of oil and return to the safe. There are about a dozen decent methods to prevent moisture/rust while in storage. Make sure to use one... -

P_ham for the win
I second ALL of this! On a personal level I'd recommend going full Dave Ramsey (or similar) and going into this reasonably debt free and with 6 months or a year of bills paid money in savings. Hard to do but it's a goal not an exacting rule. The goal of a small business ultimately is to have... -

HOWA 270 Win Replacement - Ugh!
I know the feeling of just wanting to purchase a tool and use it for its intended task - aka SHOOTING! Just went through the hassle of turning a 270 Howa 1500 into a semi-custom 6.5-284 Norma for long range. If I had to do it again I'd just buy a new rifle build to spec than have that hassle... -

HOWA 270 Win Replacement - Ugh!
I've always been under the impression that even hot 7RM loads were on par with 165/180 grain loads in 30-06 on every recoil chart. Am I that wrong?! -

Meat Eater Weatherby
Ok,but we are discussing a Weatherby package option of a Howa rifle. We aren't discussing a Weatherby made rifle. That being pointed out I've been building a LR rifle in 6.5-284 Norma out of an old 270 Howa 1500 and this thing is a SHOOTER! (At least if early indications remain true). -

dougdelite: rifled slugs in a rifled barrel?
We were basically doing a culling operation. Reloading that slow wasn't in the cards for us. I have had more than a few great MZL hunts there when I was actually hunting and not just helping farmers. Years ago I moved.to Arkansas and our muzzleloader season here is the best 2 weeks of deer... -

dougdelite: rifled slugs in a rifled barrel?
In reality how many are you gonna shoot each year? Years ago in the Ag heavy portions of Indiana we got 8 doe tags per person, per county. We were basically culling deer out of fields. Slug only state at the time. Used Remington copper sabot slugs out of a Mossy 500 fully rifled barrel with peep... -

Installing QD sling cups into CF stock
Just got my new CF stock in for my rifle build. Now to install some QD sling cups. Any hints or tips from those that have done this before? I'm a fairly handy guy and have basic garage tools. I'm sure YT has several videos but I have more faith in the brain trust here than some random YT'er... -

Return Of The Jaguar to Arizona and New Mexico, your thoughts?
Warner Glen by chance? Clay Newcombs just did his film premiere of his Warner Glen documentary a couple of weekends ago here in NW Arkansas. It's available on the MeatEater YT channel now. Well worth watching- pilsner
