Congrats on the tag. It is a good area, my understanding is that the rut is pretty late again this year so that should help you out. It is just starting to cool off so I wouldn't take just cold weather gear... google earth will help you get some ideas of the terrain and there are some great...

Thanks for sharing, definitely worth reading.

Since you are planning on having a muzzle break on it, I would definitely go with either the 7 RUM or 300 RUM. I shot my 300 RUM with a muzzle break just a couple of months after having shoulder surgery and had no issues due to recoil. I still shoot it off of a bench without a muzzle break and...

Glad I waited....

I have had a little of everything over the years and the one I miss the most is my Toyota Landcruiser.. I would get an 80 series or a 100 series, the 100 series has a V-8 while the 80 has a straight 6. You can also get the Lexus version and have a little nicer vehicle for about the same $$$...

What Redmanss said... get with ceylonc here on the forum... he will take care of you.

Safari sling.... Better weight distribution and fast

Definitely a nice bull. Archery is tough, congratulations!

I have never used Patagonia but I have read some of 45.308's posts and he definitely knows his stuff and has used a lot more gear than I have. I have used a lot of different layers over the years and the poly layers are not for me, I prefer merino wool base layer and socks for winter time. I...

You've had some good advice. I definitely agree with dressing in layers. Make sure that you get some moisture wicking layer to keep sweat and alike off. Turn the phone off or have it on silent. Take something to stay awake but don't drink a bunch of coffee where you are going to have to move...

I had a GS2 in OD Green and depending on the picture and background, you would have thought it was tan like Dry Earth at least half of the time. Even in the desert, the OD green works well. For me, the tan is just too tan and actually would stick out worse, even in the desert. I like the OD...

Rain cover and hydration are the only ones that I use. I have purchased others in the past but never used them... If I need a compression sac or an organizer, I use whatever I have laying around but have not needed to buy any accessories specific for the pack.

Winchester super X is good, 100 round packs like CCI but cheaper. Winchester M-22 is great for auto's. I do agree that ammo reliability has gone down hill over the past few years. Currently it is difficult to be picky on what you buy because you can only buy what is available and nothing...

Still difficult to get... worse than it was in '08. Hoping that it will calm down soon. Even Walmart prices are at least 30% higher than last year.

I prefer Winchester and Remington... 7mm or 300wm are both great calibers and will take down anything in North America. Both are accurate out of the box for hunting and light enough that you can carry them. Tikka's are great too. Savage makes a really accurate rifle but I just do not prefer...
