    What’s your favorite hunt gear item(s)? Share your cool/useful items.

    That blind is the size of a studio apartment!! Yes, onX is a game changer for sure. I’m sure I’ve got a big stack of a bunch of 20 year old BLM and NF maps stuck in a box somewhere.

    What’s your favorite hunt gear item(s)? Share your cool/useful items.

    What’s your favorite hunt gear item(s)? Share your cool/useful items. A few for me (outside of OnX that is essential for public land), and in no particular order. KUIU gaiters – I don’t wear every outing but a pair is always in my gear box. They sure do help a lot with moister, snow, and...

    That is terrible and unfortunate. But glad your 4-legged friend is pulling through.

    Love hunting in the snow

    Buddy and I had a great outing today. As we were approaching a new area that I’ve been meaning to poke around for quail the last couple of years, we ran into a tight group of 25 pheasants. Nice surprise but didn’t get a shot. Then off to see if this spot was holding quail. Being able to see...

    Interfering with Other People’s Hunts

    That’s a bummer. I and everyone I know wouldn’t park next to another hunter and then hunt that same spot. Frustrating but that’s public land hunting. Agree w/YETI that animals sometimes act differently than we would think.

    Went to a long(ish) range today – a little humor

    Buddy and I went to one of our nearby ranges today just after lunch to stretch the legs on a couple of our rifles. This is DIY on public land close to home that only goes out to 1,000 yrds but has some nice targets. Before leaving, we grabbed a .223 for some more fun. I quickly dumped a 20 round...

    GPS Collar recommendations

    Highly recommend one of the Garmin Alpha series that come with a handheld controller that contains a screen display. It's both an e collar and shows position of your dog. Can alert you when on the dog is on point. Mine has always been very reliable. Had a tri tonics back in the day before that...

    New to SCH Forum

    Welcome. There are good folks on this forum and lots of good info. Sound like you have already been immersed in San Diego county turkey hunting. If you haven’t attended, there is (or at least used to be) an annual turkey seminar held each spring at Lake Henshaw which is quite informative. Great...

    THREE AMIGOS! 3 custom builds from FINE FIREARMS…

    Thanks, that is good info. I’m going to look at trying Hammer bullets in the future. Have never cycled any. For my proof barrel, my Hornady CX is in the solid core copper 150gr in 7mm (in 280 ackley improved). One bullet did very well on an elk with a quick kill. Just need to validate that a...

    Mountain lion scream

    That's crazy. I've seen a few mountain lions while hunting but never heard the scream. Nerving night for sure. Stay safe!

    THREE AMIGOS! 3 custom builds from FINE FIREARMS…

    Those are 3 serious setups!! Looks like you are running proof research barrels on all of them. Not inquiring on your load recipes, but in terms of bullets, do you find any similarities in what they like for accuracy? I have one rifle with a proof barrel on it. I’ve run a few different bullets...

    Jig strike sinks

    Wow, really scary stuff. Have seen Jig Strike many times offshore. My wife and I were on our boat on the inside of San Clemente Island Monday heading north. If I recall correctly, the Coast Guard put out a couple of broadcasts of a partially submerged boat west of SCI. Maybe that was the...

    Input on Sig Cross bolt action folding stock models

    Looking for input and insight (good or bad) on anyone that owns or has owned one of their versions in this Sig Cross series. Only version I’m not considering is the PRS model due to barrel length and overall weight. As background, I have all the required rifles and calibers I need for hunting...
