    Hand Me Down Shotshell Equipment

    I was recently given my father-in-laws old shot shell press with some old shot, greendot(?) powder and plastic wads. I'm sure the shot and wads are fine but how long can old powder still be considered viable? It has been stored in a temperature controlled (mostly) shop. I know I have a ton of...

    Ask your onX Hunt questions here!

    Anybody having a problem with Samsung's crashing while downloading the maps? Last year I bought a new Samsung 7 Active, signed up for OnX, started caching the grids for a unit in MT. About half way thru download phone made a popping sound and was toast. Exchanged phone for another new 7 Active...

    Elk muzzy bullets

    Heading to MT for elk, wanting to use my muzzy. CVA Accura MR 50cal, BH209 w CCI 209 primer . What I have grouping good right now out to 250y is 90g BH and a 300g Hornady FBP.

    OnXMaps Crashing

    I'm having trouble with Samsung Galaxy 7s active, after I have saved a handful of the map files, the phone would go into an endless restart/reboot cycle. Ended up having to replace 2 brand new phones. Now I'm looking at getting a GPS with chip for my hunt in 2 1/2 weeks and I'm already over...

    MT Unit 302 Mulies

    Any advice for a newbie on mule deer hunting this unit? First western hunt, first DIY hunt. Will be staying in Kidd with a buddy that lives there and looking at the end of October, first of November. Will only have 5-7 days to hunt and no chance for actual scouting. Been buzzing around the unit...

    First Lite layers what to get next

    Not to high jack the thread but I have a question about First lite. How can it be so warm but so thin? From pictures I assumed the Kanabs had a bit of density/thickness to them, finally found a store that had some and boy was I wrong. I'm looking for a full suit for a SE MT mule deer hunt late Oct.

    New to the game

    Just ordered my first ML, a CVA Accura ML. Here's my laundry list of newbie questions: With the exception of the scope, this should be "legal" in all states except ID, WA and OR right? To shoot BH209 powder I need a BH209 breechplug? I plan on hunting MT and CO so no sabots. I'll eventually...
