    Judging moose tips

    If you are using a FFP scope, the magnification doesn’t matter. The reticle adjusts with zoom. If you are using a SFP scope, the reticle remains the same regardless of zoom. In the case of SFP, it’s only valid at MAX magnification.

    AZ 2025 Coues deer draw

    I’ve never not been hit pretty much immediately. I always heard rumors of late draws, etc but none of us (all resident pool) has ever drawn a tag outside of the first wave. I’m sure it happens, but I think it’s the exception not the rule.

    Most reliable and shootable 9mm semi auto pistols

    I won’t claim I make no claim to be an expert, but I just went through this. My criteria: lightweight, double stack, easy to shoot, optic and light compatible, with a compensator to improve rapid fire accuracy and hit rate. I ended up with a P365 Macro TacOps with a Radian Afterburner and...

    Idaho Controlled Hunts 2025

    My son and I drew early bull tags… what I hope is a solid hunt. I guess we will find out. Odds were around 5-6%, so we definitely got lucky.

    How come so much love for ELDMs and not as much love for Berger’s ?

    He was referring to the Berger ammo, not just the bullets. We are non-reloading peasants over here.

    Here we go. I am back… what he said!

    Long range hunting optics

    Honestly, at 1000 yards I haven’t ever needed more than 15x. The Maven might be too low magnification for you, but I still think it is sufficient for your needs. Otherwise I use the scopes already mentioned - LRHS and TenMile.

    Apparently there is a finite number of Rokslide action figures you can make before you hit a creative wall. We need to dig deep, people!

    Crowd Sourced Optics Comparison (CO area) ***Updated 3/9/24***

    This is an IPD issue. I am a narrow-eyed freak, so this is near and dear to my heart. This has only been an issue for me on larger glass - 15s and above. I cannot do 18s or the double STC set up. If you are looking at 15s, I settled on the Swaro SLCs - they had the smallest IPD and the best...

    Colorado Draw Report - Elk 2025

    I can’t predict if it will be easier to draw or not. At the moment, I went from chasing it to a 0.0% chance, so even a random chance is better than that. I’m hoping that guys will either burn points to bail out of the game, and other swing for the fences on units they could never draw and that...

    Colorado Draw Report - Elk 2025

    I’ve been chasing this same unit for a long time. I’ve got 10pp now and I think this is year 6 or 7 of being one point behind. There was one year where my point pool had a 20% draw. I’m hoping this will change in a few years when the new rules go into effect. If not, I have all these points for...
