    No luck on the coyotes, but limited out on pheasants in Aberdeen last weekend.

    Hunting & Fishing Montana Antelope and Waterfowl

    Had a phenomenal hunt in Montana two weeks ago. Roamed around the greater Bozeman area looking for antelope with the bow, and hit up waterfowl opener Saturday morning. Hunted hard and stalked as close as 100 yards on 6 different set ups. Never quite came to be for a variety of reasons, but such...

    Hunting & Fishing Muzzleloader

    TC Triumph in 50 cal with 240gn XTP’s does wonders in my experience within realistic ML ranges.

    Hunting & Fishing Best muzzleloader under $500

    I’ve had great luck with my TC Triumph. Nice ergonomics, quick turn breach plug, and more than acceptable accuracy with Blackhorn and 240gn Hornady bullets.

    Hunting & Fishing Bow hunters: Fiber optic sight help needed.

    I switched to a Spot Hog single pin with 2 .09 fibers recently. No hunting experience yet, but target shooting in varying light levels has me quite impressed so far. I really like the sight picture provided with the triple ring set up, and wish I would have switched to this sooner.

    Hunting & Fishing 1st Caribou Hunt

    Congrats, and awesome photos! Caribou is definitely on my list. I hope to join some Homer local friends on a subsistence hunt in the future. The photos and stories they have are amazing. Never been to Alaska, excited at the possibility.

    Gunsmithing Pre 64 Winchester not ejecting cases

    Could the bolt head be bushed with a thicker than standard bushing and headspaced properly at the same time? Would save buying an expensive pre 64 bolt that needed work to fit anyway.

    Hunting & Fishing 2019 tags

    Got my MT Antelope archery tag yesterday. First out west hunt for me! I’m stoked. I’ll do my typical OTC turkey and Whitetail MN archery, with the annual pheasant opener in Aberdeen with family.

    Unique K31 type Hammerli 30-06...FINISHED PICS

    That’s why I asked. I’ve not used a standard target scope. On my air rifles with Leupolds and with my Anschutz I always see part of the globe in the sight picture, though only or especially on low power settings.

    Unique K31 type Hammerli 30-06...FINISHED PICS

    Man that’s sweet. Question, do you see much of the front sight in the scope? And or will you remove that to shoot with optics? Scope height seems like the front site would encroach into the sight picture.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Which style CZ75 do you like and why?

    Started with a SP-01, then picked up a alloy P-01. I preferred the P-01, including the recoil impulse. For whatever reason the P-01 just feels perfect, and returns to POA without a thought. Sold the SP-01 and don’t regret it, just didn’t shoot it. Both had decockers, and slightly lighter than...

    My favorite rifle.

    It’s really true. Hammer clearance and eye relief. Not much a guy can do if you want it to fit halfway decent. Looks less than great, works well.

    My favorite rifle.

    My grandfather passed recently. He left me his ‘71 BL 22. I mounted a simple 4x scope to it for him when he couldn’t see well enough to use the factory sights. It was minute of red squirrel head to far enough away. It was well treated, but has honest wear. I have more accurate rifles, prettier...

    Hunting & Fishing Better footwear?

    I’ve had good overall luck with Meindl’s. I have the hiker uninsulated boots and a set of taller 400gm ones. They are warmer than you’d think, which I partially credit to the wool/cork insoles. They don’t have the stiffer sole and support of the La Sportiva Karakorum boots I had before, but are...
