    The new guy

    Welcome to the forum! Back in the late 70's I got my first compound bow for hunting, a Martin Archery Cougar from the factory in Walla Walla, WA. I've also had Mathews and Bowtech compounds. Due to shoulder and back issues I've become a rifle-only guy. So, I'm a has been, but archery is a great...

    Treat every day like it’s your last

    So sorry about this, unfortunately there seem to be more and more people who put no value on life or respect/love for others.

    New guy from OR

    Welcome to the forum! Where at in Oregon do you live, if you don't mind sharing? I grew up near Adrian, OR, but unless you're from within 30 miles of Adrian you may not know where that mega-metropolis is located.

    @szahunter please know it's just good natured ribbing. I'm guessing you must have miss-typed your age. Congrats on 35 years or marriage especially if those years are still getting better! What type of hunting is your favorite, birds, big game, predator, etc?

    Centerfire rifles - your path

    For hunting it's been the 7 SAUM or 300 RUM primarily. For PRS it was the 260s, then 25 Creed (still in use) and the Dasher is the newest, just getting started there.

    Centerfire rifles - your path

    I agree with you on bolt actions being the way to go. I'm not anti AR platform, I just can't fall in love with them like bolt action rifles. I did have a 6.5 Grendel that was crazy accurate, but my 223 sits in the safe for the vast majority of the time. In centerfire the ones I'm remembering are...

    I'd definitely look into @p_ham on here. A few other suggestions, TS Customs in South Dakota, Short Action Customs in Ohio, Preece Precision in Utah and Oregunsmithing in Oregon.

    Good for you Botswana

    Africa used to not appeal to me, then I went and hunted there and very much enjoyed every aspect of it. I've hunted there twice now and from what I've seen there is nothing that goes to waste, they keep and use everything on every animal. I would like to bring some of the meat home, but between...

    Montana Mule Deer Raffle

    @Elky Welky I hope this goes very well and I'm always a sucker for a good raffle. It would be interesting to know how many tickets the winner buys, but either way I like this format of giving me a chance at a tag I could never win at auction.
