hunting

Brand new here guys (made the account to ask these questions) so go easy on me. A little background first: I've only been shooting/hunting for nine years. After I killed my first deer with a rifled slug from my shotgun (nine years ago) my father in law gave me a bolt action rifle (he's not a fan...

I purchased a wiggys antarctic hunter -60 deg sleeping bag for hunting this year. I used it in a tent with a cot and a Klymit static v insulated pad. On the first trip temps got down to single digits and one night I got cold and put my thermals on and was fine from then on. On the next trip...

Was wondering if anyone has tried the N565 with their 28 and if so what kind of results they got. Been using US869 with decent results as well a rl33 with promising results. Seems N570 is the go to in the 28 but that stuff being like hens teeth I thought I might give 565 a try but wanted to...

Guys, this will be practically ancient question, but... :-) My smith gave me few boxes of the old Barnes X 175gr flat base bullets (no bands on it). I like to try it with the Norma MRP-2. I already have sorted the bullets for base-to-ogive length - surprisingly accurate. The next step, I've...

Thanks for letting me join. I’ve been hunting my whole life and have in the last couple years taken an extreme interest in long range shooting and reloading. My current setup for long range is a savage Stealth Evolution in 6.5 creedmoor topped with a Vortex PST Gen 2 5-25x50 FFP. I’ve taken it...

Hey gang, Drawing results came out and I finally got a 215 tag for Montana. I’m wondering if anyone has hunted it before and has any info and doesn’t mind sharing. Got a call into the biologist and I’m already looking at BMAs but some actual experience would be greatly appreciated!

Will be heading out to the mountains for a couple of back-country hunts in the coming months.. For my meals I use either Mountain House or Backpackers Pantry. Anyone use other brands that tastes great? Looking for suggestions on what others like in the backwoods for meals. Thanks

Drew a B zone tag for a CA blacktail hunt. It will be my first time for blacktail and first time in that zone, as I usually head out for muleys. For anyone who has hunted both, are there major behavioral differences between the two species, even though technically blacktail is a subspecies of...

Any tips or tricks on archery hunting antelope? I will be hunting in Southwest Idaho in early September. Temps normally around 65-75 degrees. Ground blind or spot and stock? Tips? Decoy?

I'm looking for some info/tips on elk hunting in Idaho. We will be going in mid October hunting the middle fork zone. None of us live near the area and can't take the time off to do a scouting trip so its basically been all E-scouting. That being said, I feel like we have found a good spot...

I'm in the market for a new, large cooler. Ideally looking for at least a 150 quart size. What is the best value cooler out there nowadays? It would need to retain ice for a least 5 days. I know Yeti has a strong following, but there's no way that $680+ is value for a cooler (at least in my...

Hey everybody. So I'm looking to buy a rifle that is a good all around long range hunting rifle. Something that can reach out 1000 yards and kill am elk with confidence. But also a gun I would mind taking a pronghorn with. I'm looking to buy one stock, not build. Right now I'm looking at the...

I’m trying to do a buddy a solid and build him a hunting round for his Ruger M-77 Mark II in 30.06. I’ve put a Timney and an H-S Preciscion stock on it. I’ve been testing seating depth with Berger VLD Hunters 168gr. with a moderate load of Varget. I haven’t been able to get them to group at all...

I've been hunting for around 30 years (since I was about 10) and have always relied on word of mouth to find my hunting spots. A few times we've gone to local fish and game offices to get lists of private hunting lands and maps of public hunting lands when we've had special tags to fill. How do...
