Intro – Mike

Welcome back to another episode of Let’s Go Hunt! – the everyman’s hunting and outdoor podcast.. We aren’t experts, but we’re out there doing it. Join us on our journey!  As always we have:

Dave Plowman, crack pour.

Vince H,  who had a shitty time today.

Sam Alexander, subject to the whims of the central committee.

And back from shooting the Grail, I’m Mike Gonçalves. 

Mike 

• I Shot the GLFA Lorge Action AR10 .30-06  today.  First impressions: it shot like an AR.  The safety is a bit sticky, but that will likely wear in.  The trigger is milspec.  Shoots like a milspec.
• Future upgrades: FDE grip, silent capture spring,and some sort of bipod.
  The holes in the target were way too big
• Sunday duck – Starting with Fish Squeezer’s recommendation to go to a river. 
  I set up in the wrong spot.  Waited two hours and went to a different spot, road hunting on the way
• Monday duck:
  Set up in the right spot.  There was less activity, but birds nonetheless.  Just as I was about to road hunt, I got action.

Dave

• I don’t have  much to report.
• I’m here for commentary and jolks.

Sam  

• Note: Saving this for the next episode.
• Preferred magnification range for a hunting scope. The long standing opinion seems to point to 3-9×40. My optic for the past year has been a 5-25×56, which I found to be a bit too bulky and heavy. Currently looking at 3-18×50 as a happy middle ground.
• Touch on differences between western style backcountry hunting and hunting in midwestern and eastern states with much shorter lines of sight.
• Speaking of optics, Mike had a question about diopter adjustments on the Warhawk he mounted to the GLFA Long Action .30-06.

Vince

• I am Slowly picking up new(ish) parts for the kid’s hunting rifle.
• I made my cheese dip with deer tenderloin and it was delicious. 
• I’m still on the wait list for the ODWC Trapping Workshop. 
• I got the Mitchell Defense BCG for my do everything rifle.
