    Popcorn thread

    Good to hear, honestly, if the dad was involved. Thanks for the info.
  3. I believe so. But, even in terrible 2017, I kept my tag and made the best out of it. No way was I turning in my tag I had waited 18 years for.

    6.5 Creedmoor Reload Data

    I use H4350 in a lot of 6.5CMs, and in my 6CM too. But, in short barreled ones, I have used Superformance. Better speeds than H4350, but not quite as temp stable. Not terrible like some RL powders though. Hornady brass is LRP. And would honestly be one of my last choices for brass, unless you already have a couple hundred. Weight sort them and cull anything outside of a 2 grain (+/- 1) from your median weight. Then check neck thickness. If you don't have a few hundred, bite the bullet (so to speak) and buy Lapua SRP, Alpha SRP, or ADG. I think Peterson might even be making some.

    Man, that is one of the saddest posts I have seen in a while. My dogs are family. I am sorry you never had that bond with a good dog.

    That sucks buddy. I have an old man, Winchester, that is 16. I dread the morning I wake up....and he doesn't.

    A3 Golden Boy Jed Larson Convicted of Poaching

    I am glad to hear that just because he "self-reported" his crimes (not an honest mistake), he did not get off with no punishment. But, if his father was part of the crime, I believe he should get his slice of the punishment pie as well. Thanks for the information.

    Looking for new hunting rifle caliber

    EVERY North American big game? I would do something like a .338 Edge. .300WM/.300RUM/.300NM(I) at a minimum. Fast twist to push the 230-245. Brown bear, grizzly, musk ox, bison, Polar bear...those are BIG animals.

    How Long Do You Glass?

    1st, a good pair of binos and a good tripod are invaluable. I use 10x42s for anything out to about a mile for my quick checks. When picking apart the county, 15x56s. Find something interesting, break out the spotter. Even my 10x42s go on a tripod when glassing. As for time behind the glass, depends on the terrain and time of day. On a 10 day hunt, I can spend from 70 to 100+ hours behind binoculars. So good glass is a must. Eye fatigue will kill your chances of finding game. Anywhere from 30 minutes, to an hour, to 4 hours. Morning/evening first/last light, 30 minutes then move and start over. Mid-morning/early afternoon, 1-2 hours then move. Midday, 3-4 hours, checking every single tree and bush, shadow, canyon, cliff, rock pile, etc. During long glassing sessions, I never look for an animal. I look for parts. I make a fairly quick pass over an area looking for the obvious, then go back over the area, picking it apart. An ear, an antler tip, a tail, legs (vertical lines), a back (horizontal lines), movement, shape, color. Work in a grid pattern. Find a landmark that splits a hillside, like a canyon or tree. Work half the hillside, from top to bottom, overlapping viewing area. Then the other half. This is a view out to about 2 miles of glassable area. Apparently, I have already glassed up something that my daughter is prepping for. Here is a pattern I use. Where I glassed up some deer. 882 yards away. Right at .5 mile. You might only get the shape and color to go by on a bull elk at over a mile away. Then pick out the antler. Wide, lightweight tripods are a must when packing glass too. I use a Manfrotto 290 carbon fiber with a Manfrotto 700 RC2 pan head. Low and wide for sitting, but extends high enough for me to stand too. My son-in-law can use it standing too, and he is 6'0".

    Hide tanning

    Sorry buddy. "Tan my hide" is cowboy for "whoop my butt". And I needed it quite a bit when I was a kid.
  17. Weird. I have had no issues mounting my adapter to my Meopta Meostar 15x56s or Meostar S2 20-70x82 spotter. For the 15s, I just run out the eye relief cup. But mine are not angled, they are twist out flat cups.

    You can contact my Dad. He used to tan my hide whenever I needed it.
