    RIP Garmin Inreach … iPhones to allow satellite messages in ios18

    I had the opposite experience this fall. I was able to both send and receive messages vis the iPhone satellite messaging. If/when I was expecting a message back, I found it worked best to reconnect to the satellite every so often to see if a message came through. There was often a delay, for...

    Stone Glacier pack or Exo Mtn and Why ?

    I have an Exo K3 and have zero complaints. Highly recommend. I don't have any experience with Stone Glacier, but have been curious about them. I have a friend who was in a similar situation as you. He bought a pack from each company to compare side by side, made his decision, then sent the...

    Javelina white sands missile range

    I don't think you're getting access to White Sands Missile Range for a javelina hunt... It may be possible, but I doubt it.

    2024 Take Back Your Elk Report

    I haven't ever used or looked into the EPLUS system very much. This thread has been enlightening. One of my issues with this issue is this stance My understanding is that EPLUS is open to EVERYBODY. That means a resident is just as able to purchase a landowner tag as a non-resident. To say...

    Help me pick a new Bino harness.

    I'll throw another preference in here for the Marsupial harness. I love mine and haven't had any complaints. I especially like that it is fully enclosed so it keeps my glass free of dust and debris while out an about. Also, the zipper free magnetic closure is nice and quiet. I typically keep...

    Rock Chucker and/or Turret Press

    My mistake. You are 100% correct. For me, I’d still use the single stage for everything where I care about accuracy.

    Rock Chucker and/or Turret Press

    I agree with the above posters. I have both (Rock Chucker and a Dillon progressive). If you want to load volume, the progressive is the winner here. You can crank out lots of ammo in a short amount of time. I use mine for handgun and target/plinking loads almost exclusively. The single stage...

    Glad to see that folks' tags are showing up. I've been wondering about mine. I've got one more reason I can't wait to get home from work now!

    Accubond Polymer Tip issue

    I load 130gr Accubonds in my .270 and have seen this as well. Brand new box of Accubond bullets (not ammo, just the bullets) had several where the tips were broken off. I took photos and sent them to Nosler. The person I interacted with basically told me it's no big deal and "won't affect...

    Thank you HuntTalk, and a prayer request

    Congratulations on the new addition! Hoping things continue to improve for your son and a speedy recovery for your wife as well. Remember to take care of yourself as well. You're experiencing a rally stressful situation. Even if it's just an hour to get away and process things, make sure you...

    Who deserves a tag?

    The quickest way to lose my attention is to start talking by saying "I deserve...". I don't think any person deserves a tag more than anyone else. In fact, that's one of the biggest problems with preference/bonus point programs (in my opinion). It creates in the participants some sense of...

    NM draw

    Third choice for both deer and elk here. Excited to be back in the woods this fall! My teenage son didn't fare well at all. 0/4 on his apps. He was not happy going to school this morning.

    Interesting Idea on NR license fees

    It sounds to me like the purpose would be to encourage states to reconsider their NR tag fees. With a license, you usually have to provide some type of ID and home address so it should be fairly simple to implement. There are, of course, complexities that were pointed out above that would have...

    59 years is a testament to your relationship, commitment, and love for one another. An admirable feat, to be sure. My sincere condolences for your loss.
