Blending powders
Solid throwback, hadn't seen that in a minute. Wonder how close you could get a Model 70 action or similar to doing that with a mid sized case like the .308 family. Anyone got data on that? Guessing it'd be tough- oxn939

WY unit 72
Necromancing this cause my buddy and I just did a hotwash on his hunt there two years ago. They give out like 600 resident tags for 72, which is not that big an area. He said there were other hunters on pretty much every piece of public he saw, and had one stalk blown by another group of... -

The Rinella Effect
Correct. Social media stardom is as addicting to someone with narcissistic psychological tendencies as heroin is to an addict. Remember that these social media companies spent tens of millions of dollars designing their product to be as addictive as possible. Try to have a conversation with a...- oxn939

The Rinella Effect
Here's the problem- not all of them need to make a good living from it. Look at Busbice. Trust fund idiot who films and posts these ridiculous hunts all done on private land that was handed to him, thereby poisoning the next generation's idea of the outdoors. That guy already has plenty of...- oxn939

"Now it's my turn!" -Federal circa 2025
My .30-06 load has a 168 grain TSX doing 2900 with nary a sign of pressure lol Seems like there is a strong correlation between being impressed by stiff like this and congratulating the dude who shot that big elk in a neighborhood over bait on a fine kill- oxn939

Time for a new muzzle loader sight. Open to suggestions.
+1 to this all day long. I have 20/15 vision according to the Air Force, and I couldn't see anything through a globe sight setup towards last light. Funny story, my first hunt with it I literally had to let a whitetail doe I was trying to kill walk in until she was close enough for me to point...- oxn939

Peacock bass around Miami FL
Never done it in FL, but I did a trip to western Brazil in '11 and this is spot on. The one exception is "small topwater baits..." the baits we threw were 6-9" long, and all sizes of peacocks slammed them. They are basically aquatic velociraptors, aggressive techniques encouraged.- oxn939

Lucky > Good
In all seriousness, thank y'all for the kind words. This whole experience left me feeling profoundly grateful in a lot of different ways, which is really the measure of a hunt's success in my book. The natural beauty of this part of the country just cannot be overstated, and I'm thankful to have... -

Lucky > Good
Got stationed in AL two years ago, which was not my first choice from a hunting perspective. The public anywhere near me is small and crowded; most of bow season is around 80 degrees. I did notice, however, that there are some pretty decent sized state forests and WMAs in the panhandle of... -

Maven, Leupold, Trijicon, NF
Yeah it's kinda crazy. I was a precision shooting instructor for years and have fired many thousands of rounds over 500 yards, and I still am not good enough to shoot that far at an animal. Almost like the influencers have convinced people they need to shoot half a mile (and blow the associated... -

Question about felt recoil
I also wonder about powder types, maybe something to do with burn rate. Was doing load development for a .30-06 a few years ago and noticed unusually light recoil with one powder. Pulled out three rounds of my next load and right back to feeling like an '06. Seen the same in several other... -

How to transport little outboard motor
If you haven't found out yet, it's VERY important to lay it on the correct side. Most outboards will have a sticker or an arrow indicating which side goes up, and most others go tiller handle down. But if you transport it with the wrong side down, a lot of outboards will spill oil out of the...- oxn939

Introduction to Muzzleloading
Yes, absolutely. That advice to keep a muzzleloader's bore dirty is in the same category as the jokes you see about using red loctite on the threads when installing an oil filter. Blackpowder is like a 8 out of 10 corrosive. Substitutes are more like a 5 out of 10, which will still ruin a gun...- oxn939

New 30-06. Thinking about trying copper.
Step by step guide to getting monos to shoot well: 1. Get some of this stuff, Birchwood Casey bore scrubber. Saturate a patch, swab your bore, leave it for a few minutes and then run a dry patch. May have to do this 2 or 3x if your bore hasn't been cleaned in a while. 2. Try your copper ammo...- oxn939

Lever Monday...post em up
Weird full circle moment here. I did indeed draw an elk tag in WY. And I did indeed tag out. And it was, indeed, well within lever action and irons distance... don't know if I'll ever recover the style points I missed out on there. Also did load development for my 336. I grabbed a box of Barnes... -

Excellent condition, optically perfect. One owner. These were Vortex's Japanese-made flagship mid range hunting scopes until they stopped making them a year or two ago, and are great optics. Comes with Butler Creek flip up lens caps and lifetime warranty. 500 to your door.- oxn939
