    Drew A New Mexico Oryx Tag

    My family has killed a lot of deer with sierra gamekings. The main reason to go Barnes and build a new load is because oryx meat is supposed to be some of the best. I don’t want to waste any and having to punch through shoulders with the vitals farther forward on them I want a really tough bullet.

    Drew A New Mexico Oryx Tag

    I am not wanting to burn a bunch of cash, but quality hunting equipment lasts and i've never been disappointed buying it after using it. This is my bucket list hunt so I want to do it right even if I have to put some gear on credit cards. I have a leica 2400 R rangefinder already that is great...

    Drew A New Mexico Oryx Tag

    Thank you, I wasn't overly impressed with the Berger 215's on my deer last year at 300 yards and that's part of the reason I want to switch. Oryx meat is supposed to be some of the finest game meat as well so I would prefer not to have lead and copper fragments through a bunch of it especially...

    Drew A New Mexico Oryx Tag

    I hit the jackpot and drew a once-in-a-lifetime WSMR Oryx hunt. I drew the Stallion Range in early November. I didn't to hire an outfitter but I booked Compass West Outfitters for a guide down there. I mainly want help with judging horn length and to help out with it being such a short hunt. I...

    Crazy Hunter Harassment Duck Hunting In North Dakota (Game Warden Involved!)

    I would assume it was from the landowner that gave him permission to hunt but not in that area. Unless there was some other form of evidence that they went onto Jeff’s land. Did they collect corn stubble to camo their blind from Jeff’s field or drive in to talk to the other hunters? Lots of...

    Crazy Hunter Harassment Duck Hunting In North Dakota (Game Warden Involved!)

    Let’s be honest, Jeff acted like an asshole and the kid went somewhere he wasn’t allowed to on private land which equates to trespassing. If everything we have been told is true that is black and white. He blatantly went where he was told not to go by the landowner. I’ve been told not to hunt...

    HB 1377 - Party Hunting

    I agree there would be problems. I don’t know if there are others like me who get a gratis but then maybe fill their bow tag or fill an elk tag somewhere and don’t need the meat. It just drives me nuts to waste the tag when others without the opportunity could have it. I could be wrong and I...

    HB 1377 - Party Hunting

    I’ve always wanted to have the option to donate my gratis tag to a groups like sporting chance or wounded warriors if I didn’t want to fill my tag that year. Some years I get plenty of meat in the freezer and I don’t need that tag. I don’t want party hunting though as I’ve been part of that...

    Sitka gear…..$$$$

    I get some decent deals on Sitka stuff from midwayusa when I’m shopping for other gun stuff I don’t need. Same place I got a good deal on kennetreks. One thing I recommend is to try it on at scheels first and write down what you like and want along with sizes. Sitka can be misleading when...

    Sitka gear…..$$$$

    I don’t think I w paid full price for any piece of Sitka gear I own. The fanatic jacket and incinerator bibs have kept me warm on a lot of cold long sits during late bow season. When people ask if it’s worth it, I always say I wouldn’t pay full price for it, but now after owning it for awhile...

    Sitka gear…..$$$$

    I don’t doubt that, I just couldn’t believe how many guys thought they could buy a 6.5 creedmoor and top it with a vortex scope and instantly shoot to 1000 yards without practice when the 6.5 first was popular. No problem with guys wearing the high dollar camo, I understand it’s comfortable and...

    Sitka gear…..$$$$

    I don’t have a problem with that, I’ve jus never understood the guys who go back to the hotel and don’t change and wear it to the bar or restaurant a decked out head to tail. I do my best to not look like the outsider or nonresident when I’m on my hunts. My carhartt jacket probably keeps me as...

    Sitka gear…..$$$$

    My Sitka gear performs amazing but I just don’t get the guys that wear it everywhere. I own quite a bit of it but make fun of the guys that show up to the bar in the evening decked out from head to toe in it. I understand if you are stopping in right from the field but usually I just seen the...

    7mm Question for Reloaders

    I always went hodgdon/imr or Alliant because it seemed like they were just easier to find in stores locally along with hodgdon online load data at the time. Now that I’ve got loads figured out along with some powder stockpiled im to lazy and cheap to start experimenting and changing again. I...

    7mm Question for Reloaders

    Had decent luck with Berger 175gr elite hunter with rem brass and primers and H1000 powder in a friends factory Rem BDL and Rem long range hunter. He has rebarreled the BDL since and it still likes the 175’s. Wish I could help more but that’s the only 7mm I’ve ever loaded for. I wish I could...

    NDA Ammo and Reloading Component TRADE thread

    I bought some 45acp ammo manufactured in 1943 but repacked in 1945 that was in original unopened boxes to go with my 1943 1911a1. I would like to get some Vietnam era original stuff to go with the 1911 and the reproduction m16A1 or some WWII 30-06 ammo to go with my m1 Garand. Other than that I...

    NDA Ammo and Reloading Component TRADE thread

    Damn autocorrect, fixed it now. I wish they were still the vintage 208 amax's then I wouldn't have switched to the 215 bergers and might be switching again to something bonded or all copper. Still doing some inventory but I also have 2lbs of IMR 700x. One is the "vintage" metal can but unopened...

    NDA Ammo and Reloading Component TRADE thread

    I have what I believe to be a full one pound can of imr enduron 4451. Since they discontinued this powder I have no use for it but if someone has a load worked up with it and wants some more I would trade or sell it. Also have 200 30cal 212 eldx bullets I would sell.

    suppressor help

    I keep a copy of my stamp paperwork and trust on my phone and also in my email so I can easily access it if I need to. I used to keep a paper copy with me all the time but not anymore. I still keep plenty of paper copies on hand but I’ve never been asked to see one.

    suppressor help

    I have one direct thread and 2 cb mount center fire cans. The direct thread one would come loose occasionally when shooting prairie dogs or other large volume shooting. You just need to make sure to check it every now and again. Also the thunderbeast direct thread cans are just a cb mount...
