I posted this thread in the firearms section instead of the optics figuring it might get more views. I admit I’m not very knowledgeable about rifles and scopes but am wondering what the advantages or disadvantages are to having a 50mm vs a 40 mm lens scope? I currently have a Leupold vx-3 HD...
I accidentally fired a 6.5 creedmore round through my .308. The recoil was much lighter and shot was nowhere on target. I then put 3 more rounds of .308 ammo through and everything seems fine. All 3 shoots were right on target. Could I have messed anything up? Anything I should be...
I’m bored and thinking elk hunting right now and was wondering what guys thoughts are on neck shots. I’ve taken 1 whitetail with a neck shot that was the only shot I had at that animal. It was with 12 g. magnum slugs and it dropped instantly. Last year I called in a bull from probably 1/2...
Best of luck fellas to all hunting the Indiana deer gun opener in the morning. Supposed to cool off nicely in my corner of the state this evening. Be safe and shoot straight !!!
I was about to pull the trigger on a new pair of Sitka puffy pants and my boss by chance sent me an email today with a 30% off coupon code for the Sitka website. I couldn’t pass it up.
To good of a deal not to pass it along so here it is.
WTP-30 is the code.
The Indiana threads have been pretty quiet lately. Any of you Hoosiers heading out west this year and what are you hunting? I got lucky and ended up drawing a New Mexico first rifle elk tag this year. The company that work for is also taking me to South Dakota for a pheasant hunt in October...
A buddy and myself spent the 3 days leading up to opening day scouting our hunt area without turning up much sign at all. Talked to couple of muzzleloader hunters that hadn’t seen or heard anything on their entire hunt so that was kinda disappointing to hear. We made the decision to move our...
Does anybody on here have any experience with these bullets on elk? I’m taking them on first hunt this year. They shoot great out of my gun just wondering have they have performed on big game.
I know this is a total long shot here but does anybody have any of this ammo they would want to part with? I found my gun likes it better than the Nosler partitions I’ve been shooting. Can’t seem to find it anywhere though.
Has anyone here used this or know much about them? Prices are similar to the other big name tech clothing manufacturers but their stuff is all made in the USA.

Made our first trip to Lake Erie this year and fished Friday and Saturday. Left the house on Friday around 5am and made the 4 hour drive to the launch in Mable Head. Lake was a little rougher than we had hoped but the forecast was for winds to die down as the day went on. We launched into 2...
I have gone through the New Mexico draw system before in the non resident guide pool. All 3 of my choices were different seasons within the same unit. My question is can you apply for different units with the 3 choices and some go into the guide pool some not?
I’m looking for some ideas on how to display my euro deer skulls that are starting to pile up in my basement. I’ve seen where guys have had some sort of post or log standing vertically with the skulls attached to that. Would any of you have pics of anything like this that you have done that...
This season was my 4th year elk hunting. I am like a ton of guys on this site, midwestern whitetail hunter their entire life with the itch to try western hunting. I started watching Randy on tv back in 2014 or so. His claim was that anyone can come out to these public lands and and harvest...
I can’t seem to find any .308 Nosler Accubond 165gr. ammo anywhere. I was able to get 2 boxes online from sportsman’s warehouse a few weeks ago, but can not find anymore. Every site says out of stock, and some say no back order as well. It even says out of stock on the Nosler website. This...
This is a refurbished Garmin Oregon 600T that was used on two hunts. It comes all original packaging. Looks like new. I ended up getting an inreach since I’m hunting by myself so I no longer need this. $120 shipped.
Selling a pair of Sitka thunderhead gtx gaiters in optifade subalpine. They are goretex and a size M/L men’s. I bought these before elk season last year off of camofire. I had them for several months before I ever tried them on only to find out they are to small. I’ve only tried them once and...
