    Whats your daily driver?

    Hunting truck is a 2017 Ram 1500 crew cab. Extra cab space isn't necessarily needed but sure comes in handy. Daily driver is a 2012 Ford Fusion, I think it was the last year for that body style. Bought both vehicles used a few years after they were made so I didn't have to pay the "new car"...

    Ever run into bad guys while hunting?

    Been fortunate to not have any run-ins with "bad guys", just dumb and/or inconsiderate ones. My "worst" pales to many of the other stories but here goes. In PA there is a late-season (Jan) for whitetail and in a few special regulation areas you can hunt with archery or firearms, most of these...

    Left-hand rifle options

    @VikingsGuy Thanks for the tip, unfortunately those models aren't offered in LH according to the Tikka site. If there are older/previous models out there configured in LH then I haven't seen any. I own a Tikka T3x stainless (LH, 300 Win Mag) and love it but it, like most factory LH factory...

    Left-hand rifle options

    I am looking at the Savage 110 line for an upcoming DIY back country hunt, specifically the 110 Timberline. Its hard to find a factory lefty with a muzzlebrake option. According to the Savage site, the rifles in the 110 line are all 7.5# and up with the 110 Timberline, chambered for 30-06...

    Old Guns Still used to Hunt, Let’s See Them

    Appreciate it, my family has had our camp on the outskirts of the ANF since the late 1970's and I've been hunting since I was old enough in the mid-90's. This is the biggest buck I've ever taken in the big woods. Bucks of that size are up there but they don't get big by being dumb. There is a...

    Old Guns Still used to Hunt, Let’s See Them

    Great topic. Old guns still have a place and more often than not have come with memories, heritage, nostalgia, etc. Not saying there is anything wrong with new guns, just saying old guns are also cool. Took this Savage 99 (300SAV) out for a walk in the mountain hardwoods (PA - Allegheny...

    Lever action restorations

    @Kaitum, I'm a little late to this party but wanted to toss my two cents in. Without pics its hard to say the exact condition of the gun currently. Intent and sentiment play a big part in this decision. If you intend to keep this gun, what do you intend to use it for? IF you intend to keep it...

    Left-hand rifle options

    I was in a similar boat a few years ago and decided on a Tikka Tx3 Lite Stainless in 300 WinMag. Fit and feel was just right for me. I've been very pleased with it so far.

    Rifle for on the move woods/marsh deer hunting...BLR maybe?

    Gotta love the "slam fire" Ithaca's. Took many rabbits over the years with an Ithaca 37 20g with a honey-comb forearm. Never had my hands on a Deer Slayer but I've heard great things about em. Should work well for you. Just cause I have to toss my two cents into ring, some great rifle options...

    Do you remember your first time?

    First deer was a little 5 point (3x2) whitetail buck in the Allegheny National Forest near Warren PA, opening day of the 1998 deer season. I was 16 and grew up in a hunting family with a long hunting tradition. All my cousins and even younger brother had taken deer in the previous seasons so I...

    Non-resident outfitter license (MT) Bill is up for hearing 2/2/2021 (SB 143)

    I would like a detailed breakdown of these "7 points of contact" and where they got the actual survey/data to back it up. I have a sneaky suspicion that there was some cherry picking of the facts/numbers. This argument also assumes that the NR DIY hunter doesn't go out to do any pre-scouting...

    Non-resident outfitter license (MT) Bill is up for hearing 2/2/2021 (SB 143)

    Hello All, Full disclosure, I'm a PA resident hunter whose been fortunate enough to hunt various game in the Western states several times over the years. I've hunted in MT as both a NR DIY and through an Outfitter. I have not (yet) taken a bull elk and am in the early planning stages for another...
