    Any Jeep guys here??

    I had a 93 Wrangler and an 91 Cherokee for many years. The Wrangler was my daily driver until I got the Cherokee (a little better gas mileage, and I could fit my brothers in the back for group hunts). The Cherokee was my daily driver until it blew a head gasket. I recently sold the Wrangler...

    Peruta En Banc - Granted, scotus here we go?

    If the full court decides to overturn, Peruta appeals to SCOTUS, will SCOTUS take the case? If not, then Californians continue to be unable to bear arms. If the full court upholds the panel's ruling, Harris and friends appeal to SCOTUS, does SCOTUS take the case? If not, then there is a split...

    NEW TO ME DOG

    As Fred pointed out, the key will be prey drive. You mentioned that you would simply use him for retrieving (as opposed to upland hunting). If he's sitting in a California blind all day, and retrieving only a handful of birds, he would probably be fine. I think Fred is also correct in that a lot...

    Time to get your Gaiters on!

    I was up there the Friday before you. A couple people on the switchback ahead of me were looking at a snake. I went up there, and sure enough, the snake could have been the twin of the one you saw! It was slowly making its way off the trail, not bothering anybody, so I gave it a wide berth and...

    "Budget" build

    The twist is 1:8. I also found a Nightforce 20 MOA scope mount rail on sale at Midway USA last night for $57.00, free shipping!

    "Budget" build

    I went ahead and bought one from your secret supplier, and canceled my Brux order. I got a notice from UPS saying my Bartlein is due to arrive tomorrow!

    Sheds?

    Wow, envious. In all my years of hunting and hiking around SD County, I've found 1 dead head, and not 1 single shed. My buddy found one, and another buddy found another, but that's it. Looking in the wrong places at the wrong times, I guess.

    "Budget" build

    I have an old Howa that I picked up last year as a project gun, and I'm finally getting around to building it. I don't have everything planned out yet, but parts are starting to arrive. Here are the specs so far: Action: Howa 1500 Long Action (have it) Barrel: Bartlein stainless, #3 contour...

    Long Range Project 6.5 SAUM

    Re: Long Range Project 6.5 RSAUM 4S I agree. And practicing at a range (very few 1k yard ranges around here!) probably wouldn't be enough either. There are some videos on YouTube that illustrate your point very well. Long Range Shooters of Utah https://www.youtube.com/user/buryceberg has a...

    $1000 Budget take 2

    My first rifle was a .30-06. I bought it because I looked at the load tables published in the Shooter's Bible, and saw that it would shoot a "50gr accelerator" all the way up to a 220gr bullet. I wanted the rifle that would "do it all". I've since learned that this is a poor plan, and it should...

    anybody seen rattlers yet

    I agree. I've had encounters in January/February as well. While out camping one time, it was probably in the 30's at night, and the next morning, a rattler started buzzing at us from over 30 feet away, in a crevice under a big rock. I was tramping through the brush and rocks on Monday, thinking...

    New dog

    You are correct, unless those yellows are chocolate-factored. Here is a website that shows you what you can expect, more or less, when you breed labs of various coat colors: http://www.blueknightlabs.com/color/coatcolor.html It's complicated! If you look through the list on the left, you see...

    new to .223 reloading

    I thought reloading was easy until I started loading for my AR. Everything I'd done previously was bolt actions and single shots. I'm still learning, but here are some things I've learned so far: 1. Unless you are loading on the low end of the recommended powder charge (low pressure), use the...
