    Blind Calling for Lions

    Hey all, With cougar and coyote being pretty much the only hunting that’s still open at the moment, I’m hoping to get some pointers on what works best for calling them in. I don’t have cameras set up since I took them down in the fall, so I don’t have any actual info on where might have cats...

    Pheasant Hunt Dog Handler Etiquette

    Hello, I’m scheduled for a 1/2 day pheasant hunt in a few weeks. It’s a “wildlife ranch”, so they’ll be planted farm pheasants. Accompanying me will be a friend/mentor who’s training his young lab, as well as a friend of his who has a pointer. The farm also has dogs & handler that I can hire...

    Binos that work with glasses

    Hey All, Well, the seasons pretty much wrapped up and after using the equipment I’ve got for a few years some things are due for an upgrade, binos being one of them. My issue is that I wear eye glasses, and I have yet to find a set binos that gives a proper sight picture with them on. This...

    Replacing stacked leather knife handle?

    I have an old Schrade Walden hunting knife who’s handle a previous owner slathered in JB weld. Admittedly, it functions fine as is, but it’s butt ugly. I’d like to replace the whole handle, but have no idea how to get the original one off. Does anyone have experience with replacing a stacked...

    Are these bullets tumbling?

    Took my Rossi single shot 243 to the range today. This rifle has given me nothing but trouble, and I’ve never been able to get a good zero on it. I slapped a scope from one of my other rifles on it (since I know this one isn’t faulty), to try to eliminate that aspect. Anyway, went to zero it...

    AK Inner Passage Cruise

    My wife booked us for an AK cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line for the last week of June. Has anyone here been on one of these? Have any recommendations for what to do and/or avoid? My wife grew up on POW, and we lived in Anchorage for a few years, so this isn’t either of ours first time to AK...

    Oregon Jackrabbit

    Hey all, Hoping to get some advice/info on hunting jackrabbits in central OR. I live over on the west side of the state, but most hunters I talk to seem to regard east of the cascades as the real hunting jewel of the state. I’ve started buying points for big game out there, but it will be...

    Show me your duck hunting kayaks!

    Does anyone here duck hunt from a kayak? If so, I’d love to see them! I’m wanting to get some ideas of what kind of paint & cover seems to work for folks, and how you might attach any vegetation to the hull.

    Ol’ Smokey: deodorizing an old gun?

    I’d been jonesing for a lever gun for a while, pretty much ever since I foolishly sold my old Western Field 30-30 in 2017. So I went down to the pawn shop today and traded in a few cheap guns I wasn’t using and came home with this 1977 Marlin 336 in 30-30. It’s very well used, so not prettiest...

    Raffle Win!

    Yep, I actually won a gun raffle! Got news last week that I won a Howa 1500 Superlite in 6.5 CM through a raffle at my local OHA chapter. Just went and did the background today, and now it’s home. It’s crazy how light this gun is! It’s one thing to read that it weighs under 5lbs, but another...

    Being a Better Conservationist, and Public Opinion

    TL;DR - How can we all be better, more proactive, conservationists as sportsmen? I am interested (and maybe some of you are too) in how I can be a more active/proactive conservationist. I have taken part in a few organized habitat clean ups, and have cleaned up a few spots on my own, but in...

    Musician Hunt Talkers

    Every Friday there’s a thread to share songs, and there are a few threads for other hobbies such as wood and metal working. Figured I’d make a thread for this of us who make a little music in our free time. Myself, I’m a bassist (play a little guitar, too), been playing for the last 20 years...

    What Does Hunt “Quality” and “Opportunity” Mean?

    These are words I see and hear often in regards to hunting, and I’m not sure I really understand what people mean when they use them. It seems to be code for something, almost a euphemism. A generic example could be a statement that says current wildlife management policies and practices will...

    First Turkey!

    Today I “punch” my first tag (e-tag), and harvested my first turkey. I went out last night, and called in this tom. Got him to within 12 yards, but due to property boundaries I couldn’t take a shot. I had set up too close to the edge, and only had one viable shooting lane. The wiley bird...

    Scope Recommendations under $200

    Hey all, Looking to equip my Rossi single shot 243win. The rifle isn’t a precision rifle. I bought it mostly for the versatility, as it has matched 20ga & 22lr barrels and it’s LIGHT, so it allows me to do a lot with one gun…but Jack of all trades, master of none. So, I’m not trying to break...

    Break Action Single Shot Rifle

    I recently acquired a Rossi matched set youth rifle/shotgun combo. It has a 22lr, 243win, & 20ga barrel. Pretty stoked on it, as I’ve been wanting to try 243 for a while, and I love the idea of being able to shoot 22lr for practicing with the same rifle I’ll hunt with later in the year. I’m...

    Dave Scadden Boats??

    Hey all, I’m looking for personal experiences from folks who have used/owned any of the Dave Scadden boats. Particularly interested in their durability. Back story: I purchased a Dave Scadden XTC Pro Guide on Black Friday, mostly because of the price. I had been looking at the Flycraft...

    Increasing Kayak’s Weight Capacity

    Anyone have any ideas for/experience with increasing a kayak’s weight carrying capacity? I have a lifetime payette 98, and it has a weight capacity of 250lbs. I’m weighing in around 225-230 most days. I plan to use it for fishing and maybe hunting ducks on some nearby lakes and ponds. Not...

    Talk me into Coyote hunting

    Considering trying out coyote hunting as a way to hunt through the off season, and work on predator calling in hopes it’ll help come bear season. My hang up is, what the heck do you do with it afterwards? I’m not going to eat it (unless that’s a thing?) so it seems kinda wasteful. The fact...

    Nothing for me this year :/

    Well, the years about to end, and I didn’t manage to fill any of my tags. Spring turkey: no dice. General deer: never even saw a buck. Fall Bear: ends this Saturday, but I caught COVID over Christmas. Fever, chills, congestion, the works for the past 3 days now. Im hoping it lets up soon...
