Trapping Thread 2024/2025
Yes, but I’d try 220 conibear if I had a chance. The 1.5 should be good. I have to say that I never trapped a groundhog though.- Elktrack

Big Bullets for Big Animals?
I don’t know if I can imagine life without my 8mm Rem Mag. I’ve shot coyotes, whitetails, elk, black bear, and moose with it. 220 grain bullet cruising a little under 3000 fps and has just been perfect on everything. I know it’s not a true big bore but it’s my “big rifle”. -
First hand Covid symptoms
Yep. Lost taste for almost 3 weeks. It’s amazing how uninteresting food becomes and some of it just seemed gross even though I couldn’t taste it. When I realized I lost it I had just cooked up some back straps from a buck I killed and commented to the kids how there was zero gamey flavor. They...- Elktrack

Project 2025.....
I’m gonna reroof the house. Easy roof, 4-12 pitch, but I am not motivated to do it at all. Tons of other projects that I personally don’t care about but apparently I need to do. Landscaping is about as low on my list as projects can get but the wife is wanting it done so I suppose I’ll have to...- Elktrack

Tell us about it. I’m kinda intrigued. What kinda speed are you getting out of it? Is the juice worth the squeeze? I don’t know a damn thing about it.- Elktrack

S&W .357 Identification help
If you want to know the details on when it was made and all that just pull the grips and get the SN. It’s definitely an earlier model but I don’t know how early. S&W quit pinning and recessing in 1982 (pretty sure it was 1982 but maybe 1981??) either way it was made before then. I don’t think... -

S&W .357 Identification help
@millerkiller77 that thing is probably banned in California but I could help you find a happy home for it in Idaho where it would have a happy life and not have to hide in a safe. Free to be outside roaming around the hills living its best life. Let me know if I can help you out -

Wisconsin releases preliminary results of Multi-year CWD study
I’ve wondered this too. I’m going to hammered here for saying this…. It makes me think of how every death was attributed to covid when in some cases it was something entirely different. For example, could the CWD make them more susceptible to things like blue tongue or other diseases, viruses... -
Bill to create Commercial-Free Days on popular rivers
It’s amazing to watch. Every boat fishes the exact same lines. They hit the same holes. I’ve sat and watched from up above the river for a couple of hours and could see at least 13 boats at all times spaced out about 100 yards apart. They all took the same lines every time. I didn’t see a single... -
Bullet seating coal differences
That will drive a guy nuckin futs! I’ve dealt with this before and talked to most of my buddies that load and they all have experienced it before. It’s kind of a mystery because there’s so many factors that could contribute. ie, Consistent speed and same force when seating. Don’t slam the arm...- Elktrack
