    Swarovski NL Pure 12x42

    Bought these this past Spring through Schnees, and hadnt had a chance to use them extensively until elk & mule deer hunting in Montana. Very pleased with my choice. The head rest really helps to steady them and the 12 power is not overwhelming but for seeing antlers 3-350 yards away, very...

    Lead Sled Issues

    Thought I'd spend the dough and bought a Lead Sled DFT2 about a month ago. Was getting weird behavior on my groups. Consulted 2 friends with quite a bit of range time. One friend had actually had one and experienced the weird groups moving all over the place. I don't want to hear from anybody...

    Need excellent quality hunting clothes?

    After reading numerous articles, and watching videos from a guy named Clayes Hayes, who did Survivor, I came to the conclusion I needed wool clothing. What sold me was "keeps you warm even when wet". I did searches and ended up buying a few Pendelton shorts and sweaters. And finally, I found a...

    Meopta Optoika6 Experience

    Anybody have experience with these scopes? How well do they hold zero? Are they like a Leupold in terms of holding zero? I have a pair of Cabelas 10x42 bonus I bought 20 years ago. They were made by Meopta and rebranded by Cabelas. I found out how good the glass was out in Montana last year. Was...

    2023Ammo Shortages, Here We Go Again

    Saw a video on Youtube predicting 2023 ammo shortages, so I decided to see what is available on Federal's website for premium ammo, mostly the widely popular calibers. I counted 40 different bullet types only across say 8 calibers. So it's here already. I ended up buying 3 boxes of .30-06 that...

    A Great Montana Steakhouse

    This is a blatant plug for a Montana steakhouse I had the pleasure to find. It's called the Mussellshell Steakhouse in Martinsdale, MT. I got the 14 oz NY Strip that had the best flavor of any steak Ive ever had, including some of the best steakhouses in New York City like Gallagher's, Ben...

    Dumb Question

    I got the combo tag this year. It only has one deer tag. Am I only allowed to shoot one deer? Either a mule deer buck or any whitetail. Is that right? I thought I would be able to shoot an elk, a mule deer and any whitetail. Thanks

    Is the price of gas hindering your out-of-state or in-state hunt plans?

    Here in New Smyrna Beach gas hit $4.75 for ethyl. Non-ethannol at the marinas is around $5.50-5.75. Just curious.

    Re-Checkering

    My dad's old Browning Auto-5's checkering has been flat-out worn down and sanded down. Is it possible for a checkering expert to re-checker the stock with the same checkering? I know I could get a new stock for it, but that is out of the question. If you do what I'm suggesting, even if an expert...
