    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Prepped a few rounds this morning. Least favorite but necessary part of the process.

    Four words that ruin an elk hunt

    1. “My feet are tired…” (2hrs in, 1st day out with my daughter 🤣) 2. “Those are griz cubs!” (Everyone in unison watching two fur balls sit down 80 yards up the trail) 3. “He has altitude sickness.” (Morning before opener last year) 4. “My scope is loose” (Brother in law...

    iPhone satellite messaging thread, iOS 18

    The satellite providers are on opposite ends of the spectrum for Apple (Globalstar) and inReach/Zoleo (Iridium). Historically, Iridium has been light years ahead of Globalstar in terms of constellation density, message integrity, and throughput. Globalstar initiated an updated LEO program a...

    Newly observed phenomena

    Riding on sidewalks is a bit much. There is something to be said about being under 25 years old and having your right hand in control of 1000 cc’s of pissed off Japanese aerodynamics. I would bet half the people on here acted like clowns with some kind of internal combustion engine in their...

    Elk with character

    Looks like his mom might have been hooking up with a caribou. I dig the unique antlers. Stellar beard as well, lesser men shiver when you enter the woods 😎

    How to correct drop?

    Thanks for the assist @Antares, I haven’t used Shooter. From my experience most apps don’t have it, so I assumed…🤦

    How to correct drop?

    @mxgsfmdpx pretty much nailed it. Get an app that has profile truing built in, shoot at 650-800yds to true your setup, go kill things when the conditions are within your ability. Not affiliated with Revic/GW but their app is solid

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    58.5-59.5gr is a sweet spot for velocity/accuracy with H1000 and N565 for 143gr ELDXs, I imagine you’ll find a great combo around the same for the 147 ELDMs. Make sure to post up what your results are as you progress 👍

    What's something you wish you would have learned sooner in life

    Well said. Also: Remorse is life’s way of saying you need to learn from a decision, regret is your way of failing to move past it.

    What's something you wish you would have learned sooner in life

    20 years ago I probably could have used the following: 1. Appreciate every day you have with your children, especially when they’re young. 2. Don’t bring your work home with you. 3. Take the beer money from one weekend a month and put it towards an S&P index fund if you want a head start...

    Help with possible first western hunt

    Lot of good advice so far. If you're humping through WV hollers during whitetail season, you're about 70% ready. The only thing you can't replicate is elevation, which will sneak up on you. The difference between WV and 9,500'+ will slow things down considerably, just plan for it if you intend...

    New career, getting out of law enforcement

    Agreed, but you may want to frame what that looks like in your next job. Lot of opportunities out there in management, analysis, development, and operations that have excellent compensation packages, but usually come with responsibility and a desk. Younger guys tend to want to be out there...

    New career, getting out of law enforcement

    Do you want to be a "do'er" or a "thinker" in your next career? Do'ers are still physically attached to, and deeply involved in, any field work related to the job. Thinkers get paid more and more than likely spend the majority of their time at a desk or in meetings.
