    No shooters known in your area. . . What do you do?

    Hunt like you always would. The best time of year is here. You never know what may show up. Take a camera, and if nothing else, enjoy yourself. And there's always new deer relocating during late season. Put out food in January and shoot one with your muzzy. I'm in the same boat this year. Not...

    LIVE from the stand 2019-20

    Now hunted for the first time in two years this evening. Had a blast on a short 2hr hunt. Had three bucks in range and three doe too far out on the oak flat stand I killed the ten in three years ago. This guy hung around me all evening, and bedded 25y from me just from dark. Sat for half an...

    Spencie WV 2019

    I've seen some pictures of some pretty big WV bear this year. They are definitely becoming more prevalent. That ten point looks like a good buck, hope you get a crack at him Mike!

    I knew something

    What brought him to make a move to public ground to kill him? Just a hunch?

    .350 Legend

    Had a chance to out a few down range today. Gun shoots well, and I'm anxious to spend some more time at longer ranges. 145gr Winchester FMJ at 50y off the bipods. According to the ballistics, -1.5" @ 50y zeros the rifle at 150y. Misread the box before I went out and put it 1.5" high @ 50y. Easy...

    Very nice deer Zach. I'm with Brock, I have nothing I want to shoot on camera.

    .350 Legend

    If you swap with the .223, all you really need is the barrel and the right length gas system, as well as a magazine. The bcg for the .223 is the same. But you should always check head spacing when installing a new barrel.

    .350 Legend

    I chose to purchase all CMMG components, so I'm sitting at $500 with the barrel, gas block and gas tube, compensator, bcg, and two 5 round mags. I didn't have to have a new bcg, but I chose to as my plan is to eventually gather all the parts to build a complete light weight upper for the 350...

    .350 Legend

    The law changed a few years ago where you don't have to plug a gun to meet the requirement. Just can't have more than three rounds in the gun.

    .350 Legend

    I just bought a ccmg kit to covert my .223 to 350 Legend. It's all together, just need to get some ammo and shoot. Eventually, I will build a complete upper for it, so I can just swap .225 and 350 out.

    Hang-on Stand for Mobile Hunting

    This, plus you have to watch for fraying on the Amsteel, more so than your typical climbing rope.

    Hang-on Stand for Mobile Hunting

    Jim is right, different climbing rope stretches more for different applications. Do a search for Static climbing rope and find something in the 8mm range. You are going to pay more for it, but it will work better for this application, as it will have a lower amount of stretch vs a Dynamic...

    Hey Rick. Things are settling down a bit, maybe we will get to see you guys this summer! Hope all is well!

    Color blind hunters

    SLOW DOWN. Look for signs other than blood. Get down low, look for turned over leaves, broken saplings, deer trails. You don't have to find a lot of blood to find a dead deer. If you understand the lay of the land, use that to your advantage as well. Most important, try not to disturb the leaves...

    Phil's 2018 buck

    What a dandy of a buck Phil! Score don't matter, he's an old bruiser! Congrats on a fine deer!

    Damn, I’m giddy!

    Haha, not this year J. I'm out of vacation, and in over my head with the farm remodel/build! Don't get me wrong, I'll put an arrow through a 140 if he steps in front of me, but the odds of that are looking slim this year for many reasons. We're on a boat mother F$%&*#

    Damn, I’m giddy!

    Id like to say I'm excited for this year, but I've hardly had time to think about it. On top of that, I don't have a deer on camera I'd like to shoot. :mad: Hope you get a crack at a dandy opening weekend Mike!
