    4 fletch arrows with Iron Will Single Bevel

    It works fine! I have used 4 fletched and singles bevels for years.

    Calling predators: Odds of success?

    Bark and howl at them using your voice. That works too after a shot. Once you see them coming in turn the volume way down on the caller, once “in range” shut it down. A lot of times they will pause to look around/listen and give you a good shot.

    Tough coyote or bad ammo?

    A couple of thoughts/observations/comments on what others have written over the years, hopefully helps some people out. My observations are similar to others. An animal that is shot/wounded tends to be much more difficult to kill (fight or flight response/adrenaline whatever it is). Single...

    Are diesel engines overrated?

    If you your going to pull an actual load a decent distance, diesel is better. If you are just making local trips with heavier loads or pulling your camper across the state, gas is fine (even a half ton for most ppl). We have used both. Gas trucks have never stranded us. Been stranded by multiple...

    Anyone used the Crossroad Archery Stabilizers?

    I have used the 8-21 for a long time now. I initially bought this size, because it would be the same weight as the 8" factory stabilizer that came on my bow and it also shrinks down enough to fit in my bow case (barely). Now I wouldn't want to hunt without one. The real added benefit for...

    Grade 2 ACL injury. Wait til after hunting season?

    I would definitely send your MRI in ASAP and get an opinion. I don't know about recovery time for a partial or what that surgery is like - could be relatively quick/easy? When I had mine replaced surgery was in Feb and I wasn't cleared for normal activity until August. I wasn't in colorado elk...

    Gun insurance policy?

    I have it written into a farm policy. My agent had me itemize everything that I wanted covered, so my ATV/Tractors/guns/optics/suppressors are all under the same policy. No appraisal needed, just listed replacement cost of each item. I pay around $170/year for $30K coverage in guns and optics.

    .22 parvo

    Looks like it's a just a 22 x 47 (necked down 6.5 x 47 case).

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    175's whats the min. velocity for these to fragment/work in your experience? Same as the 77? I have a bunch of loads for a couple of rifles ready to shoot when the weather/life allows.

    WY Unit 7 becoming General

    For the people that have hunted this unit a lot, would having separate tags for private vs. public help the crowding while increasing harvests? I have hunted other places that have this system, seemed to keep pressure down on public and the animals moving. I agree that making a gen tag wouldn't...

    Bait for DP traps

    When I used to run a lot of live traps I would get expired/stale Doritos from a local store for free. Coons are suckers for nacho cheese flavored ones. They aren't messy and freezing wasn't an issue.

    Thermal Setup

    With CR123's you only get 2-3 stands out of them before they die (cold doesn't help). The 5K battery packs will last me most of the night ~8-10 hours (apex 3d makes a handle/5K battery holder made of using a sight as a scanner - works nice for how cheap it is). You can get a dedicated scanner...

    Thermal Setup

    That combo would work great for calling! A better set up will just cost you more (nicer scanner).

    Interstate Fishtailing at 65 MPH in Snow

    If the road is muddy or slick, just put it in 4x4. I learned at a young age if you wait until you need it you are already in trouble! It's also nice to have the control to dodge all of the people fish tailing around in 2wd.

    Wyoming general season elk tags

    Do you want to hunt wyoming 2, maybe 3 times in the next decade or once? That's the difference between general and LE. You also can't draw, if you don't apply!

    AR vs Bolt Action for Coyotes?

    What are the specs and weight for that set up?

    AR vs Bolt Action for Coyotes?

    Pro's and con's to both. If it all works out and they come right to the caller, AR is all I need. If I need to take longer shots I prefer a bolt gun. I would much rather carry around a short AR all day though.

    Hunting coyotes in high pressure areas

    Ha, very true! Dogs are also very effective here in nebraska, where you can access everything with a truck. A few guys run them on snowmobiles when we get bigger storms.

    Tripod for thermal

    Innorel with a good leveling base or big ball head is the best bang for your buck I am aware of. If you are worried about height send me your current tripod height and I will measure mine maxed out.

    AGM Varmint LFR TS50-384

    Thanks for the info! I am currently waiting on a new bering scope to arrive. The IRAY bravo I tried out would not work for me at all. Not sure if the Rico G would solve any of the issues I experienced or not.
