    The question "Why?"

    idk, maybe it doesn’t sound like a ton of fun, but it’s what works there. It’s the same as sitting and glassing on a ridge. They’re what works for a their terrain. Just different kinds of sitting on your ass and watching/waiting. But in your own home state, at least you’re engaging as a part of...

    The question "Why?"

    Ok, here’s one I’ve not heard a satisfactory answer for: Why does seemingly everyone want to hunt “the west”? For the life of me I cannot understand what the draw is that folks are spending hundreds to thousands of dollars every year on applications. It really boggles my mind for folks who...

    Barn Finds and new rifle justification, so to speak

    Fair point. As it’s the only bathroom in the house, I suppose I should deduct 50%.

    Barn Finds and new rifle justification, so to speak

    So, say, hypothetically, that my wife just decided on a $17K bathroom remodel….how much rifle does that entitle me to?

    Barn Finds and new rifle justification, so to speak

    I’m still scratching my head as to where the new rifle fits into the picture.

    Lets see your fishing boat!

    It’s not much, but it’s ours! Dave Scadden XTC Pro Guide, 13’ framed “inflatable drift boat”. I have yet to take it waterfowling. A bird just doesn’t seem worth hypothermia.

    Gun Owners Don't Vote

    I don’t understand how/why any eligible voter isn’t voting. In Oregon it could not be easier! Most times I return my ballot the same day it arrives, weeks before its final due date. I wish we’d adopt Australia’s model, and impose a small fine for NOT voting. It’s one of only 2 real duties we...

    Gun Owners Don't Vote

    Gun owners aren’t a monolith. When we’re talking about initiatives, it’s pretty cut and dry. When we’re talking about candidates, there’s a long list of issues that are more important to me than gun rights, and their stances on those issues are going to be what drives my vote.

    Stuff you don't like for no good reason

    I don’t like cross/push button safeties. They’re never set up to be convenient to quickly turn off and on with your hand in the shooting position. Does it matter? No…but it bugs me, so I pretty much only buy guns with tang safeties.

    Ban the biscuits and open flames!

    I have no sympathy for anyone who supports (bought a property in) an HOA. I’ll take neighbors with ugly lawns over neighbors who think they have a say over what I do with my own property 10 times out of 10.

    Mobile hunting camp

    My wife and I have been considering getting a compact camper set up for a while. The 4 wheel project M is my top contender, but I hadn’t heard of the super pacific x-1 before. @Little Big Man MT Chris Had you looked into the Project M as well, and if so what made you opt for the X-1 instead?

    Because Dad did!

    I’m really struggling to think of literally ANYTHING. My dad and I have very different tastes, and different passions. He busted his hump to become an M.D. in the 80s, and has developed expensive taste in most things since. Often, he comes across snobbish to me. I prefer the cheap stuff that’s...

    ISO Affordable, quality lightweight sleeping bag.

    I use the patrol bag when I go camping, and generally I need to open it up because it’s too hot. I never camping in temps below freezing, though. When was in the army, however, I used the full system sleeping in the snowy winter in AK, and it worked great. https://a.co/d/8bp8fq7

    Someone told me a story

    Didn’t know! I had only been aware that Jim Bulushi had/has a weed farm near Medford.

    Someone told me a story

    That’s cool as all get out. I had no idea any of those people had once lived in S. Oregon.

    School Me on Hunting In Grizz Country

    Having about 30 other people with you seems to work well as a deterrent. The only grizzly encounters I’ve had were on JBER. Had one wonder into the next platoon’s patrol base at night, and another time had 2 younger males false charge us at the ammo point. Having a group of a few dozen...
