No that's pretty steep for 6.5CM. I've been giving some thought to cutting down one of my creedmoors as well but figured I'd still shoot the 140 bergers or 143 eld x.

Man I take too much stuff as it is. If I start setting up decoy camps then I might have to rethink where I'm hunting. I always sleep with a gun and I do find it hard at times to relax when I'm sleeping alone.
I've killed a lot of animals with 185 bergers out of a 300 WSM and 215 bergers out of a 300 WM. Never had an issue with anything not being recovered with them.
You don't have to drop the engine, but it's definitely more complicated then it should be. They're plastic and considered single use as well. Supposedly after they've properly been torqued on, if you take them off then they'll leak if you put them back on.
I have purchased a couple extended warranties and recently they saved my bacon twice on my F150. Had to have the oil pan replaced and the steering module controller replaced.
My wife and I had vehicles that had lifetime powertrain warranties from a local dealer and the catch was that you had to...
I'm from Oklahoma and have hunted whitetail on public and private on a lot of different areas of the state. I've also hunted a few spots on public in Kansas. Give me a PM if you need some help and I could point you in the right direction.
I've done the same thing, except on a big buck several years ago. It will make you sick. I waited a few hours on a buck. Me and a friend went back over there and I bumped him. Never did find him after that, but he was laying about fifty yards in the woods from where I had originally shot him. If...

I would give them a call and chat with them. Honestly like the other gentlemen said, it really depends on the time of year and how much knick knacks and Doo dads you bring. The size of your sleeping bag, your shelter, how much food you bring, there's a lot of variables.
For some reason I always have to get up and piss like a race horse in the mountains and I'm not 60 yet. I never want to get out of the sleeping bag. I've had cramps before in the middle of the night in the mountains and maybe I hydrate too much trying to avoid that again. There's nothing worse...
Another vote for Blood meridian by Cormac McCarthy, I've listened to the audio book 3 or 4 times when driving out west, not sure why.
No country for old men - Cormac McCarthy, liked the movie and the book but in different ways
As I lay dying - Faulkner
Empire of the summer moon - SC Gwynne...
You just have to be patient and realize they might screw your hunt up. Both my boys have spooked shooter bucks at one point. I now try to take them in squirrel hunts or after I've already taken a buck. I really don't feel like whitetail is good for starting out young, but my Dad started taking...
I've never hunted Idaho but I've left some expensive stuff in my tent in other states. I'm sure a lot of guys have had similar days towards the end of your hunt where you leave a bunch of stuff in the tent to go super light...I think I'll think twice now
