    Up in smoke

    Yes, writing a contract with your friend after the fact to try and acquire coverage would be insurance fraud. Prior home adjuster 20 plus years. 1. As noted check on replacement cost for your personal property . 2. Most home policies have trailer coverage to a specific limit for both trailers...

    Raking with your Bugle Tube?

    Not thinking that will sound close to the real deal, would stick with the stick 🤣 and never leave home without your bugle you will curse yourself someday. Unless you are not proficient then yes leave it home 🤣🤙

    What are the odds this is a micro-chipped Antler?

    Bugle magazine had a story 20 yrs ago on a chipped antler that someone took home in an area with a season date. Was very funny and well ahead of the curve on antler hunting.

    Feedback on backcountry elk loadout

    You have a good list but a lot of weight. My list was right at 50 pds for 3 days. Would do several dry runs to see if you can shave 10 pds. 7 miles packing an elk and that gear is a longgg ways. Good luck lots of time to refine and decide if that distance is appropriate.

    Wolf lawsuit against US Fish and Wildlife

    The wolf debacle continues, as noted it will never end. We were foolish in 1996 to ever allow them and agree to the established number that was far surpassed before the crazy judge chosen kept nixing the ability to manage them once the agreed number was reached. Now we have the Colorado...

    Let's Talk Home & Auto Insurance Companies

    @expertwitness would read his posts twice. I retired from Safeco as property adjuster last year after 30 yrs. Many variables go into the rate process and as the cost of everything has risen that means the cost of repair has risen, thus loss ratios and is then passed on to us. Sometimes the...

    Northwest Montana elk boot

    Have fun know that country very well. If the Crispi Nevadas fit they would be a good choice. They are about as waterproof as a leather boot can be and that country will soak you before you get out of the rig🤣 good luck

    Elevation change to stop other hunters

    Find places with close topo lines and rest assured you will not find many going up over 1000 ft straight up. Trails and big gapped lines yes more competition, steep and painful you can get away from 99% just have to find those places🤙

    Would you go back to this sign in CO archery?

    No….but if there were 20 of those rubs in dark timber from mannnny years yes🤙 1 random rub means simply a bull came by, a history of rubs says this is a routine spot they cruise by and May be a spot to check out.

    Hot Tent tipi vs tent

    A stove in crappy weather makes all the difference. Will lift your spirit, dry you out and just more comfortable when mother nature turns south🤙 I’ve gone from the supertarp with annex, silvertip, cimarron lite, cimarron dcf and redcliff. Cimarron awesome for two tight but manageable and...

    Diaphragm call with dome?

    So many awesome reed choices today to find the one that works best for your palate. They are not $2.99 like they were in the 80s but so many more options, quality is far better and consistency from reed to reed when you find the one you like. Decades ago you bought 3 of the same reed and one worked🤣

    Backpack Hot Tent or Basecamp Outfitter Tent?

    Nothing like a wall tent in the late season. Nights are long and comfort goes a long ways to success in the late season. So many more variables than early season. I’ve often moved my 8x10 wall tent if the area did not produce 30 minutes and on the road🤙
