    6.5 Creedmore?

    GSP -- the velocity question I had was more geared towards if the 6.5 would be pushing the bullet fast enough at range to get proper expansion. From a quick google search online it looks like Barnes (and other manufacturers) recommend a minimum of 1800-2000fps for proper expansion of copper...

    6.5 Creedmore?

    Hey guys, A know there’s quite a few accomplished shooters on this board – so figured I’d ask for some opinions. Looking to upgrade my primary deer rifle for next season. My trusty model 70, .270 has brought down quite a few animals, and I love the thing, but it’s really a 300 yard hunting gun...

    D16 Opener

    Filled my tag opening day. Man it was hot in the afternoon! Took him at 4pm and it was 91 degrees per the truck thermostat. Lot of hiking involved. Bumped him off his bed in the morning, and thankfully got a 2nd chance on him in the same spot in the afternoon. Just from my experience, in the...

    Pre Rut - The Rut??

    This past weekend, I saw small bucks (spike and small forky) chasing does around. So the little guys already are itching for it.

    Archery D16 this weekend

    That's what I'm thinking... saw the temps for this weekend and plan to pick up the shotgun. I'll pick up my bow in November.

    Garmin Inreach Explorer+

    Definitely a good product to have in the field. Especially for solo trips. Just in case anyone doesn't want to drop the $450 for the newer Garmins, I purchased one of the older Delorme InReach SE's a few months back and have been very happy with it. Same safety 2 way messaging/SOS functionality...

    Questions on Trail Cams

    Mo's advice is solid. I do not have any experience with your particular trail camera, but as a whole, the new cams coming out have great battery life, several months in some cases (even when taking 1000s of pictures). Definitely trim anything in front of the camera, in fact, for me... even...

    Those will definitely do the job... very good glass.

    Spot and stalk rifle ideas?

    Just since you mentioned you are new to this... here's my 2 cents. Personally, spending money on a lighter rifle would be one of the last things I would do in terms of acquiring gear. There are many other things that will affect your hunt more than 1-1.5lbs of rifle weight... particularly your...

    yet another duck boat rebuild... kinda

    Looking great! Hydro turf is just closed cell EVA foam with some traction patterns hot rolled in. The interlocking mats sold for kids and yoga mats are the same thing. Although, I'd hate to see yoga mats coating that duck boat after everything else you've put into it. You could probably find a...

    Where to try on some new boots?

    Just my humble opinion, make sure you really need those mountaineering boots before you purchase them. Guys will spend bookoo bucks to shed ounces off their hunting rifles and packs, but then wear ankle weights for boots. If needed... there's no other choice, but the difference between a 4lb set...

    Where to try on some new boots?

    Dicks Sporting Goods will also have a large selection of boots. If close to an REI, try some Keens, not marketed as a hunting boot, but I love mine. I have wide feet and the extra large toe box on those is perfect. Probably have 100+ miles on mine with no complaints.

    How Fast can a Mt.Lion Kill a Deer?

    Not sure I'd call that quick. Attack happens 10s in and the doe is still fighting for breaths almost a minute later when the video ends. Can't let you get too comfortable when walking in at dark 30 ;) A single well placed bullet is the best death any wild animal could hope for, I guarantee it.
