    Long Range Scope Help

    I like my nightforce. I have a nxs, nx8, and my wife has the atacr. For the nxs to be called a garbage scope I feel like it had fogged up covers or something? Mine has been a beat up truck gun and is comparable to our atacr. I will say nightforce are heavy. With that being said I would...

    12v/Truck Fridge and Freezer

    I guess I should start my own thread but if anyone has advice on a freezer unit that would hold a elk+ is my interest. Sorry if adding to this existing conversation is out of line. I like seeing options I have not before

    12v/Truck Fridge and Freezer

    We have been searching for a propane freezer preferably chest freezer. Options are extremely limited. I’m interested as well in what you find. Currently generator set up works, but if we pack one animal out and go back in it would be nice to not be worried about thawing as soon as gas runs out.

    Wild Game Recipes

    I did a Mongolian deer steak over white rice the other day it was really good. I kinda based it off multiple different internet recipes but with my style cooking I didn’t follow any of them. Also I did stroganoff with deer steak instead of traditional burger I don’t think my family will let...

    Buying Used Glass

    I bought my wife a set of els, my slc 15s and my nls off rokslide all flawless transactions with great sellers. I do prefer to have an actual phone conversation and thus far anyone I’ve dealt with is totally ok with that.

    Velvet antler preservation

    I used a whole bottle for one mule deer. You want it soaked down good. I would think 2 bottles to do an elk. I have done 3 euro mounts using velvetlock on bucks and has turned out great. The oldest is from 22 and it looks good still.

    Dream hunts a 20 year old should build points for?

    You do you, whatever works. My point is if I went with your theory of why bother put in points are worthless I would never hunt. You clearly have a better system roll w it.

    Dream hunts a 20 year old should build points for?

    In most states the some points is starting to be the new otc. Having some in multiple states that have elk I would never call useless. I have been to Arizona twice with not sufficient points. Technically I only had a tag once. Both my hunting partner and I were 10+ points away from having a...

    Shed Dogs on elk....looking for advice

    I totally agree with you. But it does get old hearing about how everyone should search and not ask questions. Then they get accosted for asking a question that has been asked before.

    Good Luck Oregon

    It’s pretty embarrassing the way people look at us when we are hunting out of state. Once we run the disclaimer we are not associated with Portland everyone I have met is great. 8 more years I promised my boys they can graduate here then we are out.

    Freeze Drying Adventures

    If you were closer I would say bring meals over and toss them in. Financially I didn’t get into freeze drying for gain. I spend a couple months a year outside whether im cutting firewood or back country hunting. Keeping a tote with a jet boil and some meals in my trucks are an easy hop in and...
