    308 Win with 130 grain TTSX

    All of those are killer loads! I am a big believer in the TTSX driven fast.

    Where to cut budget?

    Then, like everyone else says, good outer wear and base layers. Puffy, rain/wind outer wear and base layers would be next on my list. You don't need anything overly expensive in.this department. I do try to get name brand outerwear, whether Sitka, Pnuma, Kuiu or others on sale.

    OnX hypocrisy

    Gaia GPS maps offers cheaper prices, private land, all states, hunting and weather layers and more. You don't get hunting stats, which is fine since I don't want onX collecting information on where I hunt.

    Where to cut budget?

    Spend $ on good boots. You can cut in other places but boots are the one thing that makes a good hunt better and will take you places to find game.

    Pnuma Clothing - it lives up to the hype!

    I won't say a down pour like Washington, Oregon and Alaska get but I have had it in drizzle and light to medium rain, and it did not leak at the back of the neck/hood. I have found that to be a weak spot for most rain jackets. It is a generous fit. I went with a medium for better layering...

    Pnuma Clothing - it lives up to the hype!

    I have the Selkirk jacket and love it. It has held up well over 3 seasons. I use it as specific conditions require - cold, windy or occasional wet. I don't use it as a dedicated rain jacket since I have rain gear, but I have used it it for wet snow, late season, cold windy conditions and in...

    270 vs 7mm-08 vs 308 vs 30/06

    With 600 yd shots, you might consider the 270 short mag or 6.8 Western.

    Best lightweight hooded fishing shirt for sun protection

    I like Huk but found Koofin and Columbia work well and are cheaper. Less variety in color and patterns but I stick with neutral colors anyway.

    Mans best friend - shooting vs euthanasia

    I agree....man's best friend earned a dignified death and not a bullet to the head unless there is no option.

    Mans best friend - shooting vs euthanasia

    Great conversation. However, either way it is a difficult and traumatic way to say goodbye to a friend. I have done both and both are burned in my memory. One time, the Vet refused to let me be present. My dog knew as she was led away to the back room, giving me that look over her shoulders...

    Favorite Backcountry Gear 2022

    Yep, Yep, Kuiu Icon Pro 3200 is a perfect size and weight. Hauled out several Elk with it.

    well, guess these things are real

    You know, there are probably Elk, Deer and Sheep that die of old age that no man has seen despite our advances in technology. The ability of an animal to hide from man, much less an intelligent being, is not too far fetched. I have never seen one and only personally know one person that has.

    The Day Six Gear Dragonfly $$$ GIVEAWAY $$$

    Very cool concept. Currently using a Spyderco Stretch as my sole knife.

    What are the top factors determining where you live?

    I grew up in Wyoming and wish I could have stayed. But you are right. My son went a few years with hearing loss due to an undiagnosed brain tumor. Wyoming doctors continually said he was within normal hearing limits and just needed to stop listening to loud music - ironically, doctors could...

    WTB Wolfranger is a scammer

    That is a shitty deal. I have sold and bought a few things on Rokslide with good luck. It sucks we get these kind of people taking advantage of others.

    Who uses rope or an area light?

    Great idea....I also carry a second headlamp and that is another good use for it!

    Who uses rope or an area light?

    Who carries an led work light or rope light to light up the surrounding area for butchering at night? I have always just used my head lamp but started thinking it might be nice to light up the general area. The ones I have seen are luminoodle and lastlight. Not sure that the limited utility...

    Cerakote recommendations south side of Denver

    Might also want to check out the Colorado School of Trades Gun Smithing School in Wheatridge - it is not S Denver but prices are reasonable and you are helping future gun smiths.

    2023 Colorado Elk Hunting E Scouting

    All good tips. I will add that you definitely have to put the miles in to find elk. E-scouting might tell you generally about the topography but there are often hidden rolls, folds, ravines, holes and basins you don't see until you are in the woods. I have found mature bulls in odd places...
