    The Funniest Thing you ever saw someone do Hunting

    Thankfully, didn't actually see this but--- years ago, we had a guy in our group that was a big SOB. 6'4, 270 lbs, that we nicknamed 'Mongo'. He was in his tree stand during deer season dressed in coveralls. Mother Nature called, so being a bit lazy, he decided to drop the coveralls and...

    Elk hunting attire

    As mentioned, something to keep you warm and dry. For 35 yrs., all I wore for elk, moose, etc. was Army wool pants, Cabelas rain pants, and an Army M-65 field jacket. The dead critters never laughed at my wardrobe!!

    For Sale Swaro 10x42 EL High Condition. $1600

    Mid-bore Shootout 338wm vs 375HH

    From 1987 to 2022, my only hunting rifle was a .338 Win. Mag. Used it on everything from prairie dogs to grizzly. Never failed to do the job. After that I just wanted to play with a few others for no reason other than curiosity. You made a good choice for the hunt!

    Careful guys, longer term member with very few posts. Suggest video call with seller holding the scope before committing! This is similar to several scams on scopes recently! Likely a hacked account.

    My favorite Hunting rifle 338wm - what is yours?

    From the mid-80's to about 2020, all my hunts were done with a .338 Win. Mag. (except for varmints). Used it on everything from antelope to grizzly bear. Never failed me and only use others now just 'to play around'. IMO, one of the best all around calibers out there. Initially it was a Rem...
