    Using a dirt bike.

    I think we mostly agree Mike. I just don't want newer riders thinking they HAVE to step up to a larger bike to be able to see the rewards of a bike while hunting. I agree the larger bikes allow more technical riding while hunting...IF a person is experienced enough to take advantage of the...

    WTS Christensen Arms Ridgeline 30 Nosler

    RIFLE HAS SOLD I have for sale a very lightly used CA Ridgeline in 30 Nosler. It’s had approximately 100 rounds down the barrel, and shoots 200 grain factory Accubonds into knots. Looks and functions fantastic. Just don’t have a need for it right now. Not particularly interested in any...

    Using a dirt bike.

    If you’ve ridden a bit, then a Beta X-trainer is simply awesome for a backcountry hunting bike. Do a little research, and I think you’ll come away impressed. dave

    Seekins Havak Slam

    Not sure if a Proof barrel is "better" than a Seekins. If my life depending on picking one to shoot accurately, there are very, very few that are "better" than Seekins for accuracy. My experience indicates that Proof isn't one of them. I don't have any disdain for Proof, but Seekins seems to be...

    Idaho Proposed Law Making All NR tags Go to Draw

    IDFG set's tag limits. Presumably the numbers support someone hunting with that tag. Should the state NOT collect the revenue for selling leftover tags? What difference does it make who buys the tag?

    Using a dirt bike.

    We'll have to agree to disagree. I'm 240 and was riding out 90 pounds of elk quarters just fine last fall. A $15 front sprocket swap gives you all the "power" you need for hunting. My work bikes are KTM 300 EXCs and Beta X-trainers and while I strongly prefer both for riding trails, a CRF250f...

    Using a dirt bike.

    More important than being "too low" is the fact that TWs are piggy with a chitty suspension by comparison. Neither of those things are conducive to trail riding. The seat height on the CRF250F/TTR230/KLX230 are all pretty low in their own right, which helps new riders keep from crashing quite...

    Using a dirt bike.

    TTR-230 by a mile...or better yet, the CRF250F instead.

    Why the NR HATE?? Let's fix it!

    NOW we're getting somewhere. I rescind any and all previous, snarky comments.

    Why the NR HATE?? Let's fix it!

    NY hunting must suck donkey-balls to be this angry on an internet discussion.

    Why the NR HATE?? Let's fix it!

    Can we all at LEAST agree this is fooking hilarious? If we can't find common ground in this brilliance, we are surely doomed in this attempted, internet Kumbaya.

    Why the NR HATE?? Let's fix it!

    I know. I already said as much in my first post about this.... My point is that residents (largely) don't hate non-residents...which is what many non-residents seem to believe. I'm trying to point out that is just a reflection of the human condition whereby NONE of wants to "share" our...

    Why the NR HATE?? Let's fix it!

    I'm nice to the people I run into as well. Nobody is arguing that. It's a red-herring discussion topic. That's not the issue. What I'm saying is that if you're honest with yourself (and the rest of us), you'll admit it's preferable to not have to have share that theoretical wallow you...

    Tikka build or Seekins Havak element

    Can't speak to the Element, but my son's PH2 7 Rem Mag shoots 180 Bergers into knots near and far.

    Sweet...then I assume you'll have no problem sharing your waypoints with everyone here since you could care less if others share it with you. Ninja please.

    Why the NR HATE?? Let's fix it!

    What's not to understand? Western game in particular is a finite resource with seemingly unlimited demand. I don't hate NRs at all. I've hosted a few of them on hunts here in Idaho. Having said that, I'd rather not share the woods of Idaho with most of you. I have to work 10X harder than I did...

    Tikka build or Seekins Havak element

    Seekins will replace the barrel FOR you for $500....and not a cheap barrel either. I like Tikka's a lot, but I'm struggling to see how this "advantage" goes to Tikka. To the OP...no bad choices here. You've narrowed it down to the two "best" imho. Dave

    You win the internet today. I hate you a little. Please keep us posted on your thoughts. Dave

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

    You're upsetting the hive.

    Do you like your Franchi affinity?

    There isn’t a more reliable 3” semi-auto made than a Franchi Affinity imho…and I’ve shot them all for 30+ years in some pretty miserable conditions. Dave
