    D19 riverside hunt

    This method always worked for me...but Im a new also so someone more experienced please chime in if I'm mistaken... Have your ONX map fired up. Take a freeway to a highway. Then take that highway to a road. Make sure your on huntable land (NF, BLM) Park car at trailhead and hike in. Don't just...

    WTH

    Not saying that I completely understand it...But I don't see anything has changed other than what nicapopolis mentioned above. (you can walk to your truck with an unloaded shotgun in order to go somewhere, i.e. hunting or the shooting range.) Just means that you have to keep all firearms cased...

    Late Post.... bloody arrow

    Sorry to hear the news. You mentioned buzzards. When do you guys expect to see buzzards over the carcass? A couple of years back I went back to glass the area where I left a carcass. Watched for hours in early morning and all I saw was a golden eagle in the vicinity. That carcass was just 3...

    bone out a deer in the field

    Thanks for sharing the video. I really like how he just separated the hind leg muscles. Below is the video that I follow since I can never find anything to hang the deer from.

    Removing the Barrel and Accuracy

    +1 with Aeon and SCharmer. Prior to tweaking with the gun, try different techniques. Find a guy/guys at the range who shoots well and see how well they can shoot your rifle. I asked those questions above since I've experienced accuracy issues myself. My 308 savage I was about to sell since I...

    Removing the Barrel and Accuracy

    curious- what caliber, barrel twist rate? Is this for hunting or strictly target? Also how many rounds have you ran through it? How many times have you cleaned it?

    Removing the Barrel and Accuracy

    It might benefit your accuracy after reassembly of the rifle. Proper torque to stock is a common issue with accuracy. Also look out for fitment issues while the action is off. Look for any play at the lug, and any point the stock might bind to the barrel. If you have any of those issues, it can...

    Early wood duck/ teal TN

    Thanks for sharing the story. I got excited reading it. I've never duck hunted before but that was an enjoyable read. Similar to watching football highlights.

    ranging with pins

    Well said LBH2. Like GSP as well, I too agree with Aeon. Nothing beats practice (not just at the archery range but real world shooting) as discussed above. Is this toy a gimmick? Is this another tool for the arsenal? Is this another piece of equipment that I can use for verification? For $20...

    A challenge

    Good challenge Ratz. I pick up these things when I come across it. I also discourage everyone I know never to buy those crap. My girl always points them out to me when we are out hiking since she knows I go out of my way to fetch them if I have energy left in me. Challenge accepted. And thank you.

    ranging with pins

    Thanks for this LBH2! Just ordered the Dead On through amazon. Since Im not a pro like davetheslave, I only have seen small bodied bucks. So I will adjust for the smaller deer. Guess I'll have to make a trip to the outdoor range and practice with it. LBH2, you said you made your own...can you...

    2 scenarios, what would you do?

    +1. Unless your whole goal is to put meat on table then bingo. But since you held out, you got a thrill out of the possibility. Your season just got better because you just got more fuel for your drive. Leave guilt behind, you weren't the one to cripple the doe.

    D12

    Well, you wanting to get out and do as much as you can is a very good attitude to start with. I tried D12 last year with a rifle. Had a great time. Didn't get to bag anything but the experience is well worth it. I did a lot of trips out there. Most camping out and some hotel when I had the...

    Huge Lion Mount laguna area

    As I had my arms inside the belly of last years kill after the sun has set on a steep hill, my headlight gave me a piece of mind. More so than the havalon knife in my hand, since I've broken blades. False sense of security but security nonetheless.

    Do your homework, if your being harassed.

    Thanks for sharing the encounter. Where I hunt theres a woman (trail hiker) who's always giving sly remarks with condescending tones. "It's hunting season already. You're going to kill it with that?! Hope the deer wins!" I have always replied with a smile and try to end the meeting in a nice...

    sighting in air rifle scope and target practice - locations?

    My personal experience...one can get busted for target shooting with anything. According to the national forest (cleveland) representative, he can write me a ticket for using a sling shot. He gave me a written warning for target shooting with bow. I was merely checking my pins for accuracy prior...
