    Spring Bear 2024

    Got back Sunday from 5 days in SW Oregon. Saw zero bears, zero tracks, and zero scat. Green up wasn't quite there up on the hillsides yet, so I think they were all down in the jungles of the river bottoms, spent a lot of time with my glass pointed down there but still nothing. Oh, and it...

    Needs some help on picking a scope.

    I would echo those that have said SHV or Tenmile. I've got one of each (the Tenmile is on my 280AI) and both see plenty of rounds at the range and get drug through the brush on hunting trips regularly and they've both been great at ringing steel out to 850 and both have put plenty of meat in...

    280AI and Superperformance

    Well, I'll be avoiding Superperformance! Echoing that H4831SC has worked well for me in 280 AI, but I'm not shooting anything over 155gr. It's produced consistent sub MOA accuracy with every projectile I've tried so far, maybe 6 or 8 different bullets.... I'd love to try some RL23 but haven't...

    my latest varmint (coyote/fox)calling accessory

    Really cool! I use a little TW200 for hunting and it seems like the animals don't seem to notice it so much either. It's nice and quiet.

    Fattest Hog To Date

    Got one that had a ton of fat on her several years ago after a bumper acorn crop. There was enough fat for bacon, but she definitely did not have this much! She was producing piglets, as well. Tastiest pig I’ve ever killed and she was huge. I agree something must have been going on here with...

    Bear Rifle Optic Suggestions

    I love my NF's (SHV and NX8) but would also suggest you look at Trijicon. I've got a Tenmile HX 3-18x44 in FFP and it's been rock solid. FFP can be a little hard to get used to if you're on the lower power, as the reticle becomes really small, but with the illumination I haven't had any...

    Free Range West Texas Aoudad

    Great ram! I'd really love to get one and try to cook with it....mainly because people talk so much trash about it! I might go for one that's not so old for those purposes though!

    What bipod for hunting???

    Another Spartan here.....works great, no noise, it's not there when you don't need it, it takes about 1 second to attach it and it weighs nearly nothing. I've got an adapter on every one of my rifles, so the bipod just lives in my pack and goes in my pocket when I start walking. What I like...

    North Carolina Black Bear

    If you passed on 50 bears, you were hunting over bait, I'm guessing? Do you get around by boat? I grew up in the western part of the state but never heard about these massive black bears down east until the last few years.
