    EMERGENCY!!! Returning to the dream of one hunting rifle…

    First, I am diagnosed with all sorts of mental health shiz. One of them is OCD. I crave that “just right feeling.” Second, I’ve got the itch for the infamous “all-around North American Big Game Rifle.” My tendency is to have a “perfect” rifle for each species, but I’m looking to simplify and...

    Coyote hunting over turkey decoys?

    I hunt coyotes for predator management in multiple areas. A couple spots are loaded with turkeys and the coyotes definitely hunt them heavily. Has anyone ever tried setting up decoys and mimicking a flock and a wounded turkey. Scratching? Wings? Calls? I like trying weird shit. No Jason, not...

    Would You Rather? Add your fun one!

    I’m famous for these at school. Some funny. Some serious. All entertaining. A few to choose from! Would you rather wake up with a grizzly clawing on the outside of your teepee or with a rattle snake inside your teepee? Your float plane crashes on an Alaska trip. It’s you, the pilot, and your...

    Seekins PH3 7 Back Country

    Morning Fellers, My brother sent me information on the 7 Back Country. It’s awesome in so many ways, but the “inability” to reload effectively at this time killed it for me. What are your thoughts? It led me to the new PH3! 🤤 I’m pondering a 7 prc or… what a rifle for the price? It may need...

    My 1st Pronghorn Hunt in 20 years!!! Tips?

    Well, it’s taken 3 years to draw the unit in Southwest Montana my brother has hunted, and I hunted a lifetime ago. Unfortunately, he didn’t draw it. My life was an ever lovin’ shiz show for some time, but is epic now. Thank sweet baby Jesus. The unit isn’t notorious for giants. It’s convenient...

    New Coyote Rifle On The Way!!! Ammo Advice?

    Hey All, After long deliberation I have a Bergara Squared Crest in 22-250 1:9 in the mail! After a lot of research this was the best rifle/caliber combination for my budget and use. I have also ordered a Leupold M4 2.5 to 10. This will be primarily my coyote rifle. With effective calling, most...

    Spokane area FFL Recommendations?

    Hey All, I’ve been hunting for a new yote rifle. I’ve decided the best rifle for my budget is a Bergara Squared Crest in 22-250. I looked at Tikka’s especially, but once I supe it up to the same rife it’s way more expensive. I love my Bergara 17, and my bro loves his B-14. I’ve ordered from...

    New Big Game/Yote Scope?

    Hey All, I have a Tikka T3x Wideland Veil 6.5 cm that is all tuned up. I adore this rifle, but don’t adore the scope. It shoots Hammers through a quarter at 100 all day long. When I assembled the rifle I found a good deal on a Vortex Viper HST. It has the BDC reticle and I liked its ease, and...

    Boot Issues…

    Here’s the deal. I’ve owned a pair of Lowa Renegades for two years. I’m a relatively large guy that is 6’5” and about 250. Recently I did about 7 miles with about a 25 pound pack. The elevation gain was moderate and mostly shorts stints up and down about 100 feet. It is rocky cliffs terrain...

    Tell me a story…

    What’s her story? Look at the pictures closely. She must have lived quite the life. I killed her off the Palouse River in WA. I didn’t call her in. I know the spot well, and killed her still hunting in the rolling sage brush. Her hide is beautiful and the rest of her was healthy and big.

    Montana Archery Elk Research?

    Hey All, I haven’t killed a bull since moving to WA, and my life getting nuts. Life is awesome now. Last year I took up archery again and chased elk a little bit. I have a ton to learn. I’m refocusing my draw efforts in MT to archery. I only have 4 bonus points, and really want to find a unit I...

    Spokane predator hunting that could become more serious…

    I’ve been a wannabe predator hunter for years. I love it though and am okay at it. I know I have a ton to learn. I have a cheap electronic call, but am looking at upgrading. I have multiple mouth calls. I’m an effective big game hunter and in turn have applied that to coyotes. I had a partner...

    A Great Example of how conservation should be done.

    Peax Western Treeline Bear Hunting Tour?

    Peax Treeline Western Bear Hunting Tour Anyone considering going? I love watching Call and Lampers on the Gritty channel. I love the podcasts too. I am a veteran big game hunter, but am new to bear. I have no local hunting partner in Washington. I’m always looking to expand my hunting...

    Anyone own a Bergara B-14 Squared Crest? I’m drooling over one in 7 prc.

    Do any of you have any experience with this rifle? I know it is a newer model, but it is getting amazing reviews. I want one in 7 prc. My only concern is the non-adjustable cheek piece in that style of stock. I love that the stock comes with spacers to adjust for length of pull. I’m still not...

    What is your single top hunting season goal this year? I expect updates damn it.

    What’s your top goal? I want you to think about this. Really challenge yourself to pick the 1. I could talk about my knees, killing a mature mule deer buck, harvesting a critter on my new property. My long term goal has been termed the Hamm Slam. This goal specifically is to harvest mature big...
