Voting has supposedly now opened for DSC board elections. Sadly it doesn't appear DSC has gotten its act fully together. I received an email on Feb 20th saying that on the 21st I'd receive another email from "YesElections" with a specific title, and that voting would be opened.. No follow...

https://cowboystatedaily.com/2025/02/16/rare-and-illegal-in-the-u-s-toyota-land-cruisers-turn-heads-on-wyomings-i-80/ There’s no way these trucks made it to Laramie without one of you “enthusiasts” being involved! :D

Who needs a pair of new, unused (but not in the original packaging) G26 mags? $35 shipped to your door.. The first "Ill take it" gets em.. Thanks! also listed at one other place..

Who needs some AR10 Mags? Ive got 2x Amend2 AR10 Mags (10 rounders). Nothing wrong with them, I bought them when I couldn't find PMags anywhere so I'd have something to shoot with.. I've now got a dozen or so PMags and these arent getting used.. so Im moving them out of the safe to make room...

this could be an outrageously long post... so I'll do my absolute best to keep it to a minimum... Im giving some thought to investing in a small business that makes chest holsters (among other pistol related things).. I currently use a "litepath" chest holster for my G40, 10mm Glock made by...

Surprisingly…the bear! Honey Badger now has a challenger for the annual Don’t Give a Shit award lol…

Who needs a NV optic to get into nighttime hog hunting on the cheap? Up for grabs is a Sightmark Wraith HD 4-32x50 Digital Day-Night Vision Scope. These retail for about $499 most places these days. I think they were about $599 when I bought this one a couple of years ago. Its been used a few...

We just got back from an 12 day trip (3 days of driving each direction, plus 6 days in the woods) to hunt elk and deer in Northern Idaho.. Long and the short of it is.. after about $6K invested, almost 2 weeks off work, and damn near killing ourselves humping up and down incredibly steep and...

Ill be spending a few days in Panama in November on business.. Ive spent a good bit of time in Panama over the years, starting in the early 1990's.. but the last trip I made to the country was around 2018.. and Ive never hunted or fished there (always in Panama for work, with no down time on...

Location: @Bos en Dal SAFARIS , NW Province, RSA Time: July 2024 Rifle Used: Musgrave 7x57 / Swaro Optic (camp rifle) Who: @mdwest, wife, youngest daughter & @Goopy I'll start with the same typical disclaimer up front that Ive made with other Bos en Dal hunt reports.. I obviously have a...

We've got a lot more hogs coming in this year than last... my buddy and I that share a lease plan on trying to hammer them hard in Sept and early October and hopefully run them off before they start to impact our deer herds... As usual we have an abundance of does (we really need to cull the...

Ive seen a few posts here and there from guys have started shooting Hornadys CX monometals.. so I thought I'd ask... who all is using them? to what extent? and do you like them? Im a dyed in the wool Barnes TTSX and TSX guy.. I really like monometals.. they seem to fly extremely well in every...

Not sure this will have a lot of appeal on AH... but thought I'd offer it up here just in case.. Whats up for grabs is a LaRue Tactical quick detach Picatinny Riser, LT101 (5/8") and a set of Weaver 1" 6 screw rings.. The riser retails for $199.. the rings retail for $61 and change.. So $260...

Ive got a surplus of pistol primers.. It seems that during the summer of mostly peaceful protests I went a bit overboard and bought WAY more primers that I could ever use in the course of the rest of my life (after selling these off I'll still be sitting on more than 10K LPP and several thousand...

Our youngest is competing in the Texas State SCTP championship tournament this week at the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio.. We're headed south in a few hours and will be there through Sunday (awards ceremony).. If youre around, coffee is on me... I'll be pretty easy to find.. look...

https://www.winchestersun.com/2024/05/16/kentucky-finalizing-ban-on-hunting-feral-swine-in-hopes-of-slowing-their-advance/ Im not so sure their logic is sound here.... I get that their INTENTION to to slow the advance of pigs... but not so sure banning hunting, so that trapping is easier...

Anyone in need of a super affordable way to hammer hogs? Or maybe just have a different caliber to play around with at the range? Up for grabs is a Suarez International AR15 complete upper (with charging handle, BCG, etc) in 300 Blackout. To my knowledge this upper has never had a round...

https://hodgdonpowderco.com/news/hodgdon-powder-company-acquires-rcbs-reloading/ This is pretty interesting news... I didnt think Vista would spin off RCBS at this time (I thought they were trying to package things up for larger acquisitions from fewer buyers).. Should be a good move on...

Another “hog hammer” and everything you need to smoke pigs/deer/black bears for a very long time is included.. What Ive got is: 350 Legend AR: Bear Creek Upper PSA Lower Upgraded with Ergo pistol grip and stock 2x 10 round magazines Ammo: 120 rounds of federal 180gr JSP Power Shok 80 rounds...

Bottom line up front, I love this rifle, but have decided I need to consolidate some calibers (maintaining the logistics to support 24 different rifle calibers and a half dozen pistol calibers is a PIA), and since this one is really somewhat singular purposed for me (built to be a hog hammer)...

People are quick to leave negative feedback when they are wronged or think they didnt get good quality service, etc.. I think its equally important to let people know when a company provides exceptional service or does something extremely well.. So.. Briley in Houston really stepped up this...

https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/czech-gunmaker-colt-cz-says-2023-revenue-up-18-q4-sales-2024-03-26/ I had high hopes on the Vista/CZ relationship.. looks like it fell apart..

After reading/posting in a couple of recent threads about ammo and reloading supply stockpiles, I took a look at my inventory and realize I have a surplus of a few things WAY beyond what I'll ever need (like a couple of thousand pieces of 308 brass.. in addition to about 200 rounds of factory...

https://legislature.idaho.gov/sessioninfo/2024/legislation/H0587/ Looks like things are changing in Idaho.. I am suddenly super grateful that we grabbed elk and deer tags for the 2024 season a couple of months ago when we could… things are about to get more challenging moving forward I believe..

Up for grabs is the factory synthetic stock that comes on a Winchester 70 Stainless Classic. This one has the barrel channel for a factory "heavy" barrel (i.e. 375 H&H). For 2 piece bottom metal.... further specs are available at the link below.. Theres nothing wrong with the stock at all.. I...

Im in the market for a new(ish?) truck... To be honest, I have zero knowledge of what is "good" or not so good these days.. I typically buy something 1-2 years old (let someone else take the depreciation) and then drive it until the wheels fall off of it... I bought my last truck in 2013...

I wasnt quite sure where to put this.. but believe this is probably the best place? apologies in advance for what I know is going to become an extremely long winded post as well... I've had a fairly large number of members ask me about "Candles for Conservation" as well as about access to a...

Auction is in 5 days.. looks like its in pretty good shape.. thought about going after it myself, but Ive got a few other projects in the works that need my attention at the moment.. https://hibid.com/lot/178977449/1969-toyota-fj4-ll hope someone here gets it! :)

Ive exhausted my google fu.. so Im hoping someone here might know the answer to my question.. does anyone have any idea where Steiner gets the glass for their scopes and binos? an assumption would be AB Schott since most of the high end German and Austrian manufacturers go there for their...

Had to sit in front of the laptop for 3 hours this morning in the queue trying to get out of state elk and general deer tags for Idaho for the 2024 season... but... We were SUCCESSFUL! THe wife and I pulled an elk tag and a general deer tag for the panhandle, and then managed to get another...

There have been a few threads recently related to Day/Night vision and thermal optics.. I try to make it a practice that when a company truly impresses me with customer service or product quality to note it, and then share that information with others. Its pretty common for people to go...

Ive got another Kimber Custom Shop pistol up for grabs (getting out of the 1911 game (again... Im sure I'll end up regretting it and getting back "in" the game at some point in the future (again) lol)... So who needs a classy gun for CCW? Up for grabs is a Kimber Custom Shop Ultra CDP II in...

I belong to Sitka’s pro program. They have sent out 5x “friends and family” promo codes that get you 40% off MSRP until November 7th. If any of you guys are looking to buy some new gear and like Sitka, shoot me a PM and I’ll provide you with a code. First 5 only… I’m out of codes after that...

Ive got 4x Spypoint cams up for grabs.. All are new.. never been deployed.. 2 are the new LM2 cameras that were just released this year, 2 are very similar Link Micro (the LM2 is just the newest iteration of the Link Micro line). These cameras all work on the Verizon network. In a nutshell...

Im assuming a few guys here are running thermal optics of some sort on pig/predator hunting rifles? Ive got a very nice thermal monocular (pulsar axion 2) thats great for sitting in a stand and spotting game and/or finding downed game that might have run a distance into thick woods.. Im now...

Bow season is open in TX.. and rifle season is right around the corner... Whose got good activity on their trail cams this year? We've got a few small bucks snooping around so far.. theyre still mostly nocturnal though.. and no monsters have shown their faces yet.. Doe are a different story...

In light of how popular the Whiskey Appreciation thread has been... I thought I'd ask about other spirits... Whats everyone's preferences? Any particularly excellent bottles out there that are little known or heard of that you really like or enjoy? When a fine whiskey isnt available, or...

So who needs a gun for CCW that doubles as a bear country side arm? :) Up for grabs is a Kimber Custom Shop Ultra CDP II in .45 ACP. Included is 1x USGI mag, 5x Kimber Kim-Pro 7 round mags, and 2x Chip McCormick 7 round mags (8 mags total). 2 of the Kimber 7 round mags are standard 1911 mags...

There are plenty of companies out there that routinely disappoint us with poor products, poor customer service, and general assclownery.. and we're usually pretty quick to make sure everyone knows when a product fails or a company treats us in less than an exemplary fashion.. I think its...

Other than the obvious (trophies) what else is in your trophy room(s)? We've got several mounts all over the house.. the answer for us in most cases is that we dont really have a trophy room.. we have a trophy house.. so all of the typical house accoutrements are present (furniture, rugs, wall...

Does anyone have any experience using cotton seed to feed/attract deer? I was at a hunting expo over in Ft. Worth a couple of weeks ago.. I won 8x 40lb bags of cotton seed as part of a drawing/raffle.. In TX everyone I'm aware of pretty much feeds either corn or protein pellets (or a combination...

The usual disclaimer.. if youre logging in on your computer (vice the app on your phone), its obvious I have a relationship with @Bos en Dal SAFARIS that goes beyond just being another loyal client (although I am very much that too).. I have acted as the outfitters US Representative for the last...

On my previous 3 bows I have used a pretty typical 6" "Stabilizer".. to be truthful I've never really been able to tell much difference between shooting any of those bows with or without the stabilizer attached... They did a little to absorb shock I suppose.. but I never really felt like the bow...

A question for you guys that have done a lot more bow hunting and are more familiar with archery than I am... Ive got an older model PSE bow (2007 model Mach X).. it is rated as a 60-70lb bow... The limbs are almost maxed out (but not quite).. and I am currently pulling about 75lbs.. my...

2023 has started strong... Will keep adding to this thread as more hunts occur... Enjoy!
