    Elk gun

    Ok, I know this is going to open a can of worms as everyone has an opinion but that's why I'm asking. If you were going to buy/build a gun for elk sized game, what caliber, etc. would you go with? This wouldn't be a truck gun as I hike to hunt so weight is a consideration. I can hand load but...

    How’d everyone fair in the draw? Results came out today. I’ll be doing a little archery deer and rifle elk myself. Feels like I’ll never draw oryx, hahaha.

    Getting the daughter a gun

    Looking to get my daughter her first gun. She’s 8 years old and petite. Like 45 lbs, lol. She is absolutely fired up to start shooting and getting out with me on some hunts. Figure it’s time to get her started with her own gear. Thoughts on a good starter rifle for her? She is left handed too...

    Ejection issues

    I'm having troubles with case ejection on some rounds out of my gun and was wondering if anyone had any ideas or where I should take it to have it looked at. The bolt cycles totally fine with nothing in the chamber. It cycles fine when I load rounds into the magazine and don't shoot them but...

    Veins, vanes, whatever, I’m an idiot

    I’m really new to bows and had a question about arrow setup. Not worried about weight or foc or any of that. I’m worried about how freaking loud my arrows are even at 50 yards. I’ve got basic factory blazer veins on my arrows at the moment and I know they’re loud. What’s everyone else using for...

    National Forest closures

    So much for opening day in the national forests of CA. This state is run so poorly it’s be comical… if it didn’t directly affect me. https://www.sacbee.com/news/california/fires/article253864053.html

    Cots

    What kind of cot is everyone rolling when truck camping? I got signed up for Indiana princesses with my daughter and I’m going to make sure she’s comfortable (and I am too) so she at least enjoys camping. Not sure what I got myself involved in here, lol. The shit we do for our daughters.

    Backcountry foods

    In an effort to get back to some regular hunting discussion I’m curious what everyone does for backcountry food. What brand/flavor of freeze dried do you guys like? Snacks? Etc. Anyone making their own stuff? Im curious about types of cooking setups used for packed in, multi day trips too. Or...

    Game cam pics

    Got back up to check some cameras today. Forky nation has arrived!!!! unfortunately so has the forest service crew, lol. I guess the good news is they’re actually taking out some trees and brush.

    Tree stands

    I don’t know the first thing about hunting from a tree stand but I have a spot for one this season. Based on the winds I’ve seen it should be doable. What types are you guys using that you’d recommend? I don’t have a very long hike in to where mine would go but I’d prefer the thing not be too...

    Rube Powell Archery Walking Range

    Question for any of you who have been down to the Rube Powell Archery Range. The website says it's got targets from 20 feet to 80 yards on the walking range. My question is whether there's the capability in the range to be able to get closer to the 80 yard target so you're not having to shoot...

    Didn't know where to put this but I thought the reloading guys and gals may get a kick out of it.

    New Mexico Results

    This is the first year I've put in for NM draws so I'm curious when they typically report results. Any ideas? Trying to plan a few more hunts and knowing would certainly help. Thanks.

    A couple of firsts!

    First of all, thanks for all the help from everyone on my questions about Turkey hunting. Great to have a community of people willing to help a newbie out!! I went out with my buddy’s dad yesterday and heard some gobbles and got my first response ever. Went back out today and saw two birds fly...
