    Tracking in MT WY ID

    For whitetail, the above. Here in SW Montana, tracking bulls to their beds is my favorite way to hunt elk, and usually at some point in the season there is snow to do so. Where in MT you moving? Where are you in ME?

    Lead in Meat Discussion

    Part 2: One other problem with monolithics for some hunters is longer-range performance. Because monolithics are made of lighter metals, they’re longer for their weight than lead-cored bullets, and contrary to what many hunters still believe, bullet length, not weight, is the major factor in...

    Lead in Meat Discussion

    Here's a piece by John Barsness. I like John - he's a no-nonsense, "just the facts mam" sort of writer (of course he is, he's from Montana). I've used copper mono's on and off since the 1990's. Mostly I stick to lead core bullets. I've absolutely found they kill quicker than mono's. Apparently...

    Good for you and your family! Great to hear you avoided "the paralysis of analysis"... life is better going with your gut.

    Moving out West

    At the end of the day, it's about what you want and the courage/faith to do it. "Easy" shouldn't enter in to it.

    Moving out West

    Moving really comes down to priorities and what you want most... when you're young (under 40) it can be fairly simple, especially if you don't have kids over kindergarten age. Not speaking about your situation, because I don't know it - just moving in general. Would also add, if a person is...

    Moving out West

    5 years? That's a small amount of time... I guess I'm just not following. Where are you currently, and where South "did" you want to go?

    Elk experiences with 6.5 PRC and 156 EOL

    Elk run all the time 50 yards lethally hit with all sorts of armament. Same with antelope and deer. My observation is you have a confirmation bias and are seeing what you want to, based on three dead animals.

    Elk experiences with 6.5 PRC and 156 EOL

    Again, how did you come to the conclusion the "6.5 PRC is borderline." Do you have a lot of experience with it on elk?

    If you could move anywhere?

    Hi Crowfeather, I'm always curious to hear others stories - wondering where you live that you wouldn't leave? Reasons? Thanks.

    Radiant Heat Remodel Question

    When I build from scratch, I'd always do sleepers w/ gypcrete rather than warmboard et al. In your scenario, I'd do staple-up with fins and save some money. Staple up with fins is still very effective. It's critical to use aluminum foil and a minimum of R30 batts under the staple up.
