    Hunting & Fishing Coyote calling device?

    I had a Randy Anderson DVD that helped me learn the basics of calling. It's not like ducks or geese, it is pretty darn easy really. If you spend more than 20$ each on a howler/rabbit call you are probably wasting money for starters. Same thing on a motion decoy, they can be had for less than...

    Hunting & Fishing My First Bull

    In my fifth year of hunting (all archery), and after 1 cow, I harvested my first bull this year. Archery really isn't this site's mojo, but I thought I'd share anyways. The hunt was 100% DIY on Wyoming public land. I had a camp setup on a ridge 5-6 miles back on foot from the nearest road. I...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Just an update, I've settled on a load for now in my LRI 6.5 CM I recently had built in the group buy. It shoots better than me so that's how I know it is time to start shooting and stop 'developing.' Why waste barrel life when you are shooting below 1/2 MOA? Complete specs below: LRI Built...

    My First Build: In details

    Well the archery bow hunt was a success (see last pic below) so I am home and was able to take the LRI Creedmoor for another spin. Shot a little better this time, was still doing "load development". The wind and my discomfort kicked up as time went on with the second target. I was much...

    New handloading bench

    That was the idea with cabinets, for leg room. And although I don't end up tucked far under it like a desk, the extra room is nice. I plan on building some shelves that take up about half the depth to make better use of some of the room. Congratulations on the indoor approval!

    Thanks bud. It may see a day or two from a high ridge in Texas hill country looking for a whitetail but this is a heavy rig and won't be going on any hikes in the mountains. If I get around to finding a place to shoot some predators, I'll have a chance then too and will share any thoughts on...

    Thanks for the words of encouragement Jeff. I noticed that KC shows up a lot on the 'Contact Us' page in this circle, just as Bozeman, MT shows up a ton when looking at backpacking and hunting gear.
