    Merino wool

    I'm a big fan of merino wool. My wife turned me onto it grew years ago when she got me some first lite clothing. I have beaten them to death. They all have holes in them at this point. So I'm on the hunt to replace what I have. I don't need first lite. I don't need a hunting brand. I...

    AR/suppressor question

    My wife's Christensen ca5five6 ar has a carbon barrel and a custom handguard. The barrel is larger in diameter than regular barrel options, so I think I would need their proprietary adjustable gas block if I want to control the back flow pressure without changing springs or buffer weights. I've...

    Dyi suppressor cover

    Picked up some fireproof felt, tested to 1800 degrees. Everything else was leftover stuff I had. Cost me about 6 bucks.

    Book on Tanning

    I prefer books to looking up things on the internet when it comes to doing things numerous times over the years. Internet info is just too temporary for me because search results are never the same. And I'm old. Is there a great book out there that you would recommend which goes over in detail...

    Kara's Rifle

    What was the caliber of Kara's rifle on her Alaskan moose hunt? Great shot btw! Nice to a shot at a reasonable distance, the way it should be. Well done

    Fixed blade for the field

    I have been using the Gerber model that has three blades for a few years. Overall, it's a great knife except for one thing. I trip the release button when I place my index finger or thumb on the backbone of the blade. So it's time for a new fixed blade. I've been eyeballing the Benchmade...

    My yote gun is finally complete

    Arca attachment, check. Picatinny attachment, check. Bipod check. The perfect handload, check. Riflespeed adjustable gas block, check. And finally. The suppressor. Now I need to get out and see where it's hitting with new suppressor on there. Then it's time to go hunt.

    Barrel length and suppressors

    Need some hunttalk wisdom. I would like to run suppressors on two hunting rifles. The first is a tikka t3x lite in 308. Barrel is 20.5 inches. The second is a savage lady hunter in 6.5cm with an 18 inch barrel. I spoke with a gunsmith and he told me that I need an outside diameter of .600, 5/8...

    New rifle, barrel, or cut and thread existing

    I'm debating suppressing my hunting rifle, which is a tikka t3x lite chambered in 308. I'm not sure what to do. Cut and thread existing barrel, replace the barrel, or get another rifle? I hate the idea of modifying something that functions flawlessly. But it might be the most cost affective...

    Boot sole replacement

    At what point did you guys replace the soles of your mountain boots? My heel treads are not gone, probably an eighth inch left. All knobs are well rounded at this point. I'm certainly getting a lot more slippage than a year ago. But, overall I still have tread life. I've got four years of...

    The Struggle

    I'm usually not big on influencer vids, but this is next level. It's a Gritty production, and I know there is some dislike for them. But trust me, they did a spectacular job. It's a long one so grab some popcorn. They did a great job of capturing the essence of hunting, including...

    68gr bthp match and coyotes

    My AR hates any bullet lighter than 68gr. I have found a powder and a bullet (hornady bthp match) that are working quite well together so far, giving me slightly better than 1 moa at 100. My goal has been to find a load that could be reliable out to 300 yards, assuming perfect conditions...

    The average western hunter

    I was in national forest today with the family getting a Christmas tree. There are several miles of road to drive in on, but it is basically just one road. The number of guys driving up and down the road in hunter Orange was amazing. Back and forth, back and forth. Most of the spots there is...

    Wife got one

    She started hunting last year at age 57. She got her first deer that year, a 3x3 muley. She practiced shooting all year this year. Prone, off the pack, tripod, and trekking poles. For this season she wanted a knife so she could help field dress her harvest. She was all in. Well...

    Tents

    Are tents like potato chips? You can't just have one? I can't believe I just purchased another one. Between wall tents, bivies, tipi tents, hildeberg rough weather tent, car camping, and everything in between, I'm now up to six. Seven if I include a tarp. Uggh.

    Percentage of fat in ground meat

    Curious how much fat folks mix in with their venison and elk ground meat. I did 15% for years but last year doubled that and went with 30% beef fat. The reaction from family and friends was 100% positive. Is anyone else using that much in their mixtures? I found that 15% was still too...

    Tomorrow is the day

    I've been trying to pattern these damn whitetails on a piece of ag land. Well, after four days of sneaking around I have it figured out. I let the place sit for over a week so they should be back to their routine. And here is the best part. I have a tree I can actually climb. Thank God...

    Drop away rests

    I've been using them for over a decade. Love them. The most recent one is the vapor trail (about five years old or so). It's on a bowtech Realm X. The issue I have with it is I find the enclosure, frame, or whatever you call it, does not provide a lot of clearance for my vanes. I am not...

    Ag land and bows

    We have access on opening day to hunt some ag land. There are a couple of small drainages with bushes, but for the most part the deer feed in the middle of the fields. Any tips from you that have done this before? Should we just work the drainages and hope they come through, or are you...
