Got this one near Libby, MT this morning. The horns have some neat character around the bases. Pretty sure it's the same buck a friend of mine missed 3 times last year while I watched in agony. He was chasing two does around 0815, about 175 yards away, 300 Win Mag 180 grain Partitions...

Yes....but..... You can tag along with a member and shop there. Anchor Costco shoppers, haha.

I can understand the empathy, and I share it, but there has to be a firm reestablishing of order within the US immigration system, to include legal immigration. The United States should be treated like a Nation comprised of citizens again, not just an economic zone. Even if people view the US...

Was talking about this with some guys earlier. I think Election Day should be a Federal Holiday anyway, most employers are good about giving people time to vote, but this would give people all day. If you're non-political and don't care to vote its a paid day off, if you're a hunter you get a...

Netanyahu fired Yoav Gallant, hard to tell if this was over actual battlefield conduct or Likud party pressure, probably a bit of both.

https://www.ft.com/content/b1104594-5da7-4b9a-b635-e7a80ab68fad This is a big deal.

Living on a thin line......

I've been seeing bigger knobs showing up on newer European rifles, especially ones geared towards driven hunts. Seems like it would make sense on a DG rifle, a shorter bolt throw would be a cool development too.

Don't have any experience with DG rifles. Are oversized bolt knobs something that people run on them?

Gonna be following this, I've been wondering what improvements could be made to DG setups as well

Who is actually "far-right" to you?

You mean when you're actively trying to sabotage relief efforts (for reasons) you don't do it in broad daylight, with everyone filming you, in a helicopter clearly belonging to the DOD, with a transponder on, your callsign known, and only hit them with 30 seconds of rotorwash and then leave...

Barring any major changes in the two as they have presented themselves so far (either morally or major policy positions shifts), I would enthusiastically support a Vance/ Ramaswamy ticket in 28, and would have this year as well.

@mdwest You'll get a kick out of this... random dudes who served in Kajaki have left reviews for the "Helmand Valley Gun Club Hotel and Resort" on Google Maps...

Thats Wild! I believe it though. There was a handful of French dudes running an emerald mining firm up near Panshir for some time, IDK if they're still there or not. It's hard to explain to people that the Taliban aren't ISIS, they aren't just going to cut your head off for existing. They...

Well said, the problem with arming crazies is the crazies have a tendency to linger and take their own form. There was a time when American families were living in places like Kajaki and Lashkar Gah, wild to think about now, but the Helmand Valley Authority managed to pull off some pretty...

Bush and Cheney surely have a lot of the blame, they were in the White House after all. However let's not leave out the role of the geniuses at PNAC like Bill Kristol, Robert Kagan, Frederick Kagan and Cheney's principal Foreign Policy advisor Victoria Nuland.

Yep Hearing a car pull up to your neighbors house and hearing a few gunshots a few minutes later, hoping the car doesnt come to your house next. Finding the mayor of your town or the Sheriff of your county with their hands bound and swollen and drill holes in their knees. Foreign troops...

I want to see Americans walking on and planting a flag into the surface of Mars in my lifetime. America breaking down into Civil War a la Syria 12 years ago or Spain in the 30s would be pretty lame.

That seems....... excessive I don't think it would be a positive development for the nation if Americans started killing each other because a politician they liked or disliked was assassinated.

What audience would that be?

I never wish I had less metal!! I admit I'm very biased on the subject, but I truly believe we'll see 5k gold and 100 dollar silver within the next decade

And Silver over 31! Hecla Mining stock has been pretty good this year as well, but there's something about holding the metal in your hand that's just....different!

The Chinese own Smithfield, which, if I'm not mistaken, is the largest pork producer in the world. They also have many operations outside the US. The largest producer of Palladium in the US is looking at laying off around 700 workers and cutting production. The second largest Aluminum smelting...

The Marine Corps got a bit of trolling in when this happened, they put a picture of a LCpl firing from the deck of a ship on one of their official press pages a day or so after the debacle, kind of a funny jab at the Navy...

Pretty interesting

When I was still in my rifle cleaning kit (for M4s) basically boiled down to.. -Bore snake -Rag -AP brush -Small brass scraper for removing carbon from bolt, BCG, etc -CLP Rarely used cleaning rods, but they're still useful in the field for clearing stuck cases and such Bore snakes are...

I don't have any polling data from the WSJ or anywhere else on tap, but I also don't hold most political polls in high regard to be honest. Not that they're all flawed or anything like that, I'm sure many are pretty close. I just think we're living through a period of time where they're...

And if people think it's out of the ordinary and a little bizarre for a Kennedy to come out in support of a Republican candidate...... Wait until you you find out who Richard Spencer and his crew have been pulling for since 2020 and into 2024

You could be right, but that's a bold claim! The vote R no matter who crowd would pull the lever for either obviously. But I'd wager there's more people in the "screw it, this country is f'ed under Harris, I'm voting Trump" Libertarian/ Independent crowd than there is in the disgruntled...

Yea it'll be just me sleeping in it, if I was planning on sharing a tent with someone for ten days I'd definitely pull the trigger on something bigger.

I'm with you on probably not needing it. However it's more of a piece of mind than anything. That time of year it can go either way as far as snow, but I'm also interested in a sturdier tent for wind. I have a super lightweight Big Agnes tent already that I use, but anytime I've used that...

Its possible that it could be somewhat mild though, mid to late Oct is sort of a dice roll. Hence why I'm buying the new tent, it could be normal fall chilly weather or windy as hell and snow! haha This will be the first hunting trip for me that's a drop you off see you in ten days type of...

Another thing I like about the Skyscraper is it appears that the walls are a bit more vertical than a lot of other similar ones on the market (someone also made a point of this in a review video I saw). I'm not super tall (6'1") but I can't stand having my head against fabric inside tents.

It'll just be me for this trip. I have a lighter Big Agnes that I like a lot, but I wanted something a little more sturdy in case we end up with high winds or snow. Have you had the SG in any weather? I'm leaning toward them because they have good reviews and I get a decent discount.

Flying in, Indian Creek as of now. We'll all have wolf tags too, so we'll do our part to try and avenge the Muley herds. I've heard where we're going is pretty good, should be some opportunity for us, got a solid group of dudes that can move, shoot well, and don't mind a little weather and...

Not taking any stock in, or else we'd be taking all kinds of stuff!! haha

5 people, flying into unit 27, plan on moving about 6 miles to our first spot, 10 day trip so we have time to move around if we need to. Overall, the plan is to hunt out of a basecamp, but have the ability to split up/move and setup a hasty camp if we put a buck to bed and want to get back on...

I've got a Mule Deer hunt coming up this October in the Frank Church and I'm looking at upgrading my tent setup. I'm not really interested in going the tipi/woodstove route so looking for suggestions for a solid 4 season (backpacking tent). Currently I'm leaning heavily toward the Skyscraper...

Or a British miner......

An interesting anecdote between the Reagan and Thatcher period was the head butting they did regarding the Falklands War and US Sanctions on apartheid era South Africa. Reagan was pissed about the Thatcher govt carrying out the Falklands War against his administrations wishes, and Thatcher was...

I dont mind it existing, but it should be optional like someone who just wants the easy button.... doesnt wanna think about it, sure let them put money into it, but if I don't want to I shouldn't have to

Social Security was hacked apparently. It's pretty cool that I'm forced to participate in this ponzi scheme even though it's basically a mathematical impossibility that I'll ever receive any amount of money from it that comes close to what I've put in after inflation. Good thing they take it...

I'm not gonna lie...... I kinda hope the Harris campaign DID use AI images, the over the top antics entertain me. I know I should take that stuff more seriously but I just don't, hahaha. What would be even better is if those particular images WEREN'T AI, but some other ones WERE, or some other...

I thought @Redleg painted a pretty clear picture of the role of Senior Enlisted personnel in his earlier post, so I'll try and and build on that. In this scenario we're in 1st BN of whatever Regiment....... Let's say hypothetically you were one of those Staff Officers (maybe a 1stLt or junior...

Letter from some Senior Enlisted in the Minnesota Guard regarding Walz..... https://www.wctrib.com/community/letters/the-truth-about-tim-walz

Somewhere deep in Virunga, with no shoes, haha.

It's an odd move for sure. I know plenty of people from the SF community, worked with them on active duty and in the civilian sector. Unless I had a family member that was in a unit or a very close friend who died or something it's unlikely i would go out wearing a unit crest. A Green Beret...
