    Pit Boss vertical pellet smoker

    I've got a Pit Boss 7 series, I bought it about a year ago. I have done jerky, summer sausage, and pastrami on it so far. The only complaint I've got is that the temp control is not overly precise. With mine, if I set it at 175, it hangs around 165. If I set it at 200, it goes to 205-210. I'm...

    onx map ?

    You can either buy the chip to use with a handheld gps or download the app on your phone. I use the phone app on an iPhone , but I know others who use it on Android. I won’t hunt away from home without it.

    HOWA 1500 with HS Precision Stock

    I wouldn't give up on your .270. As others have said, clean any copper fouling, check the crown, check the action screws, and also check the scope mounts/bases. I had a rifle do that same thing to me. Everything seemed tight with the scope mounts, when I removed the scope to put a different one...

    Need a different pack

    I run a Mystery Ranch Cabinet. It cinches down pretty small, but has no problem packing out meat once expanded. As others have said, there are several great brands out there, I would try on a few and see what you like.

    Cattle in Plots

    In my case, I fenced the stalks on the south end of the quarter. There are trees and many cattail sloughs on on the north end, thats where all the habitat is, so that is not within the fence. There were people out there last weekend hunting pheasants, and it didn't seem to bother them.

    Cattle in Plots

    My cattle are grazing corn stalks on PLOTS land right now. It is still private land that the landowner can do as he pleases, but it must remain open to walking access hunting.

    The battery readout is already wired in, just hook up the two connections to your battery and you're done.

    Changing a Vexilar FL-8SE from a Genz box the the Vexilar Ultra Pack Case

    It's very simple, 5 minutes tops. I did that with mine just so it fits into a 5 gallon bucket.

    Western Elk Hunting 2018

    I’ll be headed back out in the next couple weeks. I was there Oct 25-28, but it was so warm with so many people. I’m hoping the weather moves them back out of the high nasty ground.

    Trigger Replacement

    +1 on the Timney, by far the best improvement I made to my rifle. Mine qualified for the recall, but you still have an X-Mark trigger in the end. It took me 15 minutes to install.

    Montana big game draw results

    I applied for a permit south of Butte (340-10) since that’s where my brother lives and where we’ll be hunting out of. The odds aren’t bad for that one and the only real benefit is I could take a cow during any part of the rifle season, not just the first week.

    Welding

    I love to weld. I built all of my corrals, alley, crowding tub, and panels myself in my shop. There is something very rewarding about seeing all of the pieces come together as a functional system. I have a Hobart (made by Miller, but cheaper with less features) 250 amp MIG welder, a cheap...

    Black Rifle Coffee Company

    I really like the Beyond Black and the Just Black. Gunship isn't bad either.

    SD card reader for iPhone

    I use one that I bought off of Camofire. I think the brand is HME, you have to download an app to view the photos and you can save them to your phone from the app. If you have your phone in a case, make sure you get one with a short cord so you can plug it in without removing the case.

    Bow Sight Recommendations

    I run a Black Gold Ascent 5 pin. The pins are set 20-60, then I can move my slider to adjust from 60-90 using the bottom pin. I’m like it for hunting in a treestand, I don’t have to adjust it to shoot out to 60 yards.

    Do you prefer to hunt alone?

    I've got a pretty short list of friends (cousins) I like to hunt with, we're usually on the same page as far as what we're doing. Other than that I prefer to hunt alone.
