The video is confirmation of the adage, we do not rise to the occasion, but sink to the level of training.

Yes, they have been working with the NORKS, who have demonstrated capability. At this point, the Russians likely will gladly help too. Smuggling a missile or truck carried bomb in through Mexico would be my top concern. Iran’s calculus is driven by zealotry with a big dose of rabid hatred for...

Ran it through a translator program: The commercial court of Saint-Étienne ruled on Wednesday 4 June between the two bids in the running for the takeover of Verney-Carron. He chose the one of the Loire company Rivolier. Verney-Carron has found a buyer. Rivolier was appointed by the...

What is the light colored tan buff at 2:50? I’ve not seen that before.

Quite majestic. Personally, animals that are truly exceptional like that should be allowed to walk and spread the genetics. Pound hard on the low end. Thanks for sharing the video. (y)

I agree, keep the government out of it. It is a different form of trophy looking for glory on internet forums, the same as big horns or grip and grin photos for internet forums, and medals and certificates for the wall. The best way is to not praise it, but speak up against it. Few hunters...

Digital is great when it works, but there are some conditions such as heavy cloud cover, heavy tree canopy, and tight, deep terrain or canyons, where it may not work. The number one problem condition is loss of power. I always, always have a compass on me doing anything in the field. Make sure...

Fords are much easier to steer because Dodges drivers have to wear a paper bag over their head to hide from the embarrassment.

Zeiss Conquest HD 10x42 $699 on the big river from Euro Optic They are relatively light and compact in size compared to Swaros of the same size. I’ve owned four pair of Swaros, sold all of them and use the Conquest HD’s now for bird surveys and hunting. Great value.

Whichever is oldest. Hard to tell from that one photo, but the back left at 11 o’clock on the photo looks like the oldest based on the hip bones and loss of muscle mass on the rump. But I am looking on a phone, so they are tiny images, and different angles can look different.

Would appreciate some discussion on these questions. Great first shot by the hunter, but without the go ahead from the PH makes me wonder whether the PH was waiting to determine whether it was a real charge requiring self-defense shots?

Thank you. The bottom is a one off pattern. I came up with that design with inspiration from some of his other patterns. It really works well and is very comfortable.

I have completely given up on Leupold. There is not even one Leupold in my house any more, which makes me a bit sad, but they have let their reliabilty drop off. Nightforce NX8 or NXS’s, Trijicon, or Aimpoint are on my rifles these days. Buy once, cry once. This thread is worth a read and...

With one groove, to me they look like Nosler’s solid. Compare the groove and bands: https://www.nosler.com/products/bullets/product-line/solidtm.html Five grooves on Barnes .404 solids: https://barnesbullets.com/0-422-404-jeff-banded-solid-400-gr-rn/
