    Charlie Kirk

    I'm just so disgusted by this whole tragedy. Charlie was an amazing person. He could debate any topic with an absolute wealth of knowledge and always showed respect for those who disagreed with him. I think he would likely have been POTUS one day had his life not gotten cut short by some maniac who can't handle truth. I've been sick since I first learned of this yesterday and just keep getting more and more pissed off.

    Pet peeves

    I agree with all of the above but I'm surprised no one has mentioned the slobs that decide they need to drop a deuce and proceed to leave half a roll of crap covered tp all over the side of the hill - usually right next to the good glassing locations. We've all had to go in the woods/desert. Dig a hole and bury all evidence - not that hard.

    Nice job! That's a great looking buck!
  7. Just curious if anyone has tried these out. I have a Kodiak flexbow and love it. I like the addition of a stove jack and awning in this one for colder hunts. I think I read somewhere that it takes 2 people to set up. I've set up full sized wall tents by myself but not sure I want something that's a major struggle for one person. I'd love to hear the good, bad and ugly from anyone who has experience with these. Thanks.

    Awesome story, Kyl. Glad you guys stayed with it. That's some serious perseverance you don't see so much these days. I always love the stories of you and the kids hunting together - keep it up man!

    Who's going?

    Someone come smack the one that's been getting into my chicken coop. Second one this year,
  12. For starters, I'm about to take off on vacation for 2 weeks hitting S. Utah fishing mountain lakes, hiking slot canyons, etc. So I hate to drop such a technical question and then run off, but I'd really like to see what you guys think about this. I'd really like a serious long range rifle, with a scope calibrated to use turretts, like you see on Best of the West, etc. So I have a couple of questions. 1) Starting with the action, is the Rem 700 the absolute best for this kind of setup? 2) Caliber: Sure it's gotta be on the large size, but is it 7mm, .300 or somewhere in between? (7mm STW, 200 WSM, all kinds of options). 3) Trigger: Savage came out a while back with the "accu-trigger" and my cheap Savage 110FP in 35-06 shoots clover leaves. Do you really need to spend big $$ on a custom trigger setup when OTC guns have such good triggers these days? 4) Scope - I want to have a turrett setup, where you just range the target and dial the scope in. I know you don't have to buy a Nightforce or Huskemaw to achieve this. From what I can gather, Leupold will tailor match turretts to your load. You could go to the source of "long range hunting" and buy a nice setup, that's inevitably a Rem 700 action, Huskemaw scope, 7mm Rem Mag, all that, but for around 5K. So, I'm wondering if a guy could pick up solid Savage 114 or Rem 700 CDL, build custom loads, and buy a Leupold scope with their turrett system and still get the kind of long range capabilities of the $5K rifles. I know it will take a lot of patience and practice, but I'd like to build one of these rifles, and not break the bank. Thanks for the feedback, and sorry if I'm slow to repond to any questions. I won't be back at my computer desk until around the 17th of July.

    A different type of scam

    Probably most of you already know about this, but in case it helps someone I wanted to bring it to your attention. My wife posted a car for sale on Craigslist, and within minutes she had 5-10 texts. What they do is say that they have cash in hand and are willing to buy the car, but they want you to run a specific background check on it. The check can be $30-$60 dollars depending on the site. They are the ones running the background check sites. Just giving a heads-up. I did a little research and it's a well known scam. If you are selling and you come across one of these guys, don't fall for it.

    2025 youth turkey hunt

    Awesome job guys. Nothing better than hunting with the kids. BTW if you haven't tried Ammon's slate calls, they look great and I have called in lots of birds with them over the years.
