    Res nonres party

    How bad of an idea is this? Am I right to assume I’d take my resident odds and turning them into nonresident odds by applying with my buddy.

    Bolt hitting scope

    Looking for advice, I put on the youth stock which fits and I’m happy with that but the bolt handle will hit the scope once I put on the appropriate height rings. What’s the best route? Higher rings with cheek riser or modify the bolt handle? Anything else?

    First time processing

    Last season my son and I both shot mule deer bucks and my brother-in-law helped process and package both deer. This was the first time I’ve seen this done while this season I am processing my cow elk by myself. I bought a LEM MaxVac 500 vac sealer and a MEAT! #22 1hp grinder. Quarters aged a...

    Nevada cow elk. New hunt success!

    In the same general area as my bull elk hunt last year NDOW created a new hunt for this season to reduce elk numbers in two of the units in the group. Due to private property giving refuge the elk numbers are higher than desired. Lucky for myself and others who drew these tags, we have a chance...

    Scope rings difference?

    I assume going from one extreme to the other there would definitely be a difference in sight picture but would it be noticeable going from 1.1” to .92”? I was excited to get shooting so I bought medium height rings knowing if they didn’t work out I could return them and order lows. Regardless...

    Scope rings

    Read some old threads but want the conversation to include newer products. I am waiting for a seekins element 7mm prc and bought a leupold vx-6hd 4-24x52 tmoa for it. Looking at some high quality rings to match the set up. Are the $400 rings worth the cost over $200 rings? One piece vs two...

    To suppress or not to suppress?

    I want a 7 prc lightweight (scoped 8lbs or less) for elk and deer out to 1000 yards (No comments about ethics or skill level. I don’t plan on it but I want to be the limiting factor not the rifle/bullet’s capabilities) Originally wanted a 22” or 24” barrel plus brake. Don’t prefer CF over SS...

    Internal frame for Alaknak tent

    Thought about building my own but is there anything out there? Thoughts? Experiences? This is the 12x20 and it stood up to 50 mph+ winds, staked in soft soil but made for long nights with low confidence. I’ve only used it on two 9 day hunts

    Scope question

    Amateur question, my scope dialed at 100 yards (for now), the turret says something like 12 or 13 moa. Does that sound right? Should it take 13 moa from center at 100 yards? There’s only 15 moa per revolution but up to 85 moa of adjustment (assume center is half that and 85 is total top to...

    Need some help here, my son turns 18 Oct. 30 and I thought to be considered for youth his birthday had to be after the season dates he applies to.

    Tomorrow is go time, my first archery tag and I have been scouting leading up to this point. Practicing with my bow, shooting different distances up hill and down too and I can’t get past how many people I keep running into out there. ATVs, UTVs and OHVs everywhere are going to add to the...

    NDOW called

    I was on a fire south of Orleans, CA with little to no cell service to check on fires near my hunt. The North Fire burned the north part of the unit and the Loyalton Fire was rumored to have jumped 395 so I was concerned but didn’t have the service to look at maps. Then last week while out on...

    Anyone Scouting?

    My tag is for Dec. so I’m guessing scouting now isn’t going to give me an idea where the deer will be during my hunt but as soon as I get a day off I can’t help myself but to get up to the top of the mountain. Anyone else getting out yet?
