re: Fishing tackle backpack

Plano Z Series.
I hate zippers on a tackle bag. I have had several of these Plano Z Series for many years and like them very much.
I haven't used their backpack but I would.

5 rd mags are usually just the same size as a 10rd mag with a bigger spring to consume the room.

When Remington released their R-15 series of rifles they came w a 5rd mag to meet whatever silly laws nationwide. Open that mag and cut the spring down and makes it a 10rd like normal.
Yes maximum ethical shooting distance.

MPBR is a valuable sighting in strategy. Learn it.

Chuckhawks has a great article on it.

re: Weddings during hunting season

Posted by SGrem on 10/18/26 at 9:45 pm to
Had a very close friend announce their engagement and schedule their wedding for middle of prime rut.

Then he asked me to be his best man.

I replied dude when yall announced the date I just assumed you didn't want me to be there....which i wont be.

He knows the deal... lol.... we are still very close great friends of course. I think he had to ask two or three other guys before he found one that could make it during deer season. He begged his wife to change the date so his friends could come.... we all know how that went.

I have two kids. Their birth days are planned around hunting season too. One born in April the other June. My wife's birthday is July. I planned that too.... had to end many first dates based on birthday.
243 and 6.5 Grendel will kill anything in North America (except the giant predator bears) and any African plains game at any ethical hunting distance.

Have seen kudu and eiland and moose killed with a 243.

Mark Larue of Larue tactical killed an elk with a 6.5 Grendel at over 400 yards.

243 and 6.5 Grendel are similar in performance with an advantage to the 243. Not allowing one on your property is misguided.... but its your sandbox.

I lived in Aberdeen Scotland for three years. Great great place.

Wife and i love Iceland!

Greece is amazing if you really dig into the best things to do that the locals do. Not so much the touristy stuff.

Egypt is a fascinating place. Get a private tour guide to really dig in with you. Love it.

Being that lugnuts are usually tightened to 100 ft pds and the stubby is 550 ft lbs yes absolutely it will.

Love the stubby.
Not to mention every tree is covered in poison ivy. Every...dayum....one.

re: Weather Apps

I use Weatherunderground for day in and day out forecasting.

I use MyRadar for real time lightning strikes.

I use WindFinder for accurate wind on the coast. Also has purdy good wave height and wave interval predictions.
Purdy much. Just enjoying a great hunt and a memorable experience with my brother.
Found this buck yesterday. But our license season for this unit is only Oct 3rd thru the 5th. So had to wait till today to start hunting. Found him again at first light and put the sneak on him for several hours.

Spotted him with his does and smaller bucks. He was herding his does big time. Snuck in where I could barely see him on the horizon....then dropped down and side saddled the lil elevation change to intercept.

Then got pinned. Bad. His does and smaller bucks walked thru right in front of me on the hill across about 150 yds. I couldnt see the big one I wanted. But had a couple smaller bucks dead to rights. I even aimed at em with the safety off but decided to pass in the hopes big boy would follow his group. He didn't for a long time. And im still pinned. Took a chance to crawl a bit... seemed like forever. Some spooked some didnt. And then he walked the ridgeline and I was able to get a shot at 500 yds. Turns out getting pinned was the best thing that could have happened because gave me a chance to settle my breath cuz im fat. Couldn't have done it without my Harris bipod! Sitting on the ground and using the bipod and hit him perfect. I am beyond excited. If I had to lay down prone I wouldn't have been able to see him over the grass and brush.

Tikka T3 in 270 Win. 130gr Interbond at 3200 FPS. Entry was perfect at the shoulder and blew all the way thru with exit out in front of the opposite rear leg pulling guts out. Took out top half of heart and lungs and pulled a lot of guts out of a fist size exit hole. He still ran 200 yds at 50 mph. Have exit and entry pics i can send but they are gruesome....i know some people want to analyze bullet performance....send me a message and I can send if wanted.

re: Anyone hunt deer with slugs?

Posted by SGrem on 10/4/26 at 5:54 pm to
Hunted some public land areas that were shotgun only. So I got a rifled barrel with cantilevered scope mount for my 20ga 870. Was purdy awesome! Really accurate and devastating to 140 yards or so. Also quite punishing to shoot....

They made the area straight wall cartridge in addition to shotgun. I went to 45-70 or 44 mag after that. Sold my slug barrels ...
No reason to buy a 12 unless you just want to be stubborn. Lol

Remington 20 gauge 870. Get a 28" barrel with remchokes. And an 18" barrel with remchokes for turkey. I have shot everything that walks or fly. With it. Like Legos you can change it up. Put a shorty stock for youth hunters and change back for adult. Change out barrels for different pursuits. They are great and they always work and they go up in value.

I have a dozen or more shotguns. Only one of then is a 12ga and it never comes out of the safe unless I accidentally accept an invite to goose hunt. I hate shooting 12ga.

Beretta A300 is an excellent shotgun. Have to spend over twice as much to get any gains.

Adult stock.
Swap it over.

Or slip on pad.

Or a rolled up towel.

Or a shoulder recoil pad and heavy clothes.
The Mako skiff is exactly that. Just a basic simple skiff. It does that well.

Tracker is a basic simple boat line that millions of people get out on. They are great for that. Lots of nicer boats choices. Lots of lesser boat choices too.

Im always super super glad to see folks out fishing in their Mako skiffs and Trackers and NOT at my house stealing my TV.

re: Mako boats (Update installations)

Great boats for what they are.

Do not have the illusion that they are the legendary Mako of long ago.... the Mako skiff is in line with most of the cheaper basic no frills skiffs.

Easy to own and easy to enjoy. Fancy show stopper they are not.
