I have an REI 60 liter pack. It is a not the ultralight but weighs only 3 pounds. Fits a large mule deer quarter and carries well. I wear it while hunting. Also have an old Camp Trails pack frame when i need to go back in next day. Can put a couple of quarters on it.
Most hunting specialty...
The lead ammo bans are an issue for sure. Republicans have been more helpful on that front.
Public lands however have been a mixed bag.
Meateater has a column on how some Conservatives have plans that could harm hunting and habitat...
One of my Grandpas had a 25-35. It was his only rifle. Mostly for pests on his Montana homestead, but also have pictures of some bull elk he used it for. Cousin still has it.
All that stuff is made up or twisted. You've been sold a bill of goods.
What has trump done for gun owners? A bump stock ban? A supreme court that rules only halfway in favor of 2A rights? Even when he had a GOP senate and congress he did jack.
9 Days of looking for Mule Deer.
Buddy got a nice 4 point high on the mountain from his spike camp. You can see it on the front of his jeep. Also note him towing double!
Back at camp one night was steak night. Another we were so tired it was beans from a can.
Love the larch. We heard wolves...
I have one that craters even with starter loads that leave a smokey neck and give velocities lower than book for the charge. It's a shooter tho. It's on a 100 year old springfield action.
Is it something worth trying to fix? I just use book velocities and look for other signs to keep pressure...
I have a few hundred 25 cal cast bullets I inherited and would like to find a good home for them. Maybe cost of shipping plus a little bit. Most are 95 grains and have not been lubed, sized, or gas checked. A few 80 grain and some 115 grain that are lubed plain base. They might be too heavy and...
Just spent a day helping a buddy process a nice branched antler bull. We talked about how our first known case of chronic wasting disease came to Washington State. The Fish and Wildlife want deer, elk and moose tested, but it takes 6 weeks to get results.
From what I read (so do your own...
With USPS I get an email every day with photos of the mail that is to arrive. I ship tons of stuff USPS. It's the cheapest, fastest for small packages. I use UPS for heavy things.
UPS royally f's stuff too. Has held onto a package for a month that is couldn't figure out how to deliver to the...
His load was 150 grain round nose with I4320. Mine W760 with150 grain Accubond. Even the bonded bullet made for a lot of bloodshot at 30 yards. The deer only made one hop tho.
My dad’s set up was a 600, 308 with the 2 power forward mount scout scope. He was also a handgun hunter with long relief 1 power scope. He practiced quick offhand shots. Watched him shoot a coyote with that rifle, it was like watching a trap shooter.
Carrying that rifle is sweet. You can hold...
They didn't do Jack in WA state when the last referendums changed our laws dramatically. They spent a few thousands while 4 or 5 billionaires were spending millions. They collected a lot more from WA NRA members during that time. We ended up with rights being a football for both political...
