    -63°F Yesterday Morning in Northern Utah

    Makes sense. If it's just one spot that gets super cold, it won't take much wind to blow warmer less insanely cold air from anywhere else to it.

    Is there an advantage to mil over MOA?

    I did last summer, technically. Drove to the top of a mountain. Dad had the elk tag for last year so I had to force him to practice. "That brown rock is 600 yards away, use the spot where the cross hair gets really thick. Make sure you're zoomed in all the way." Bang - hit Bang bang bang - hit...

    Is there an advantage to mil over MOA?

    "About how big is that animal?" Range it with laser, look at it through reticle, do math MIL to meters and centimeters is super easy MOA to yards and inches is reasonably easy MIL to yards and tenths of a yard is kind of a pain

    SWFA, what’s the deal?

    [Opens the box] "Looks good" [Mounts to rifle] "Looks great" [Drop test?] "Why would I abuse my scope like that when Form already did that?!?!?" 😱

    Rifle on a bike.

    I did this, but I recommend you don't mount the rifle to the bike. Carry it strapped to your backpack so that there's "more" between the ground and your scope. I used this on a low importance squirrel blasting trip and found that the scope would un-zero itself by about a foot in a 1/2 mile of...

    One shot kill streak.

    The last two. The first three I had to put one into the dirt behind the animal to warm up.

    Sling for gun with suppressor

    Super long shotgun sling mounted to the same points as a normal sling but then ziptied a few inches up the barrel. Changes the balance enough to work. My next big investment is going to be a piece of electric tape to cover the pokey end of the zip tie and stop it from sliding.

    Lightweight motorcycle recommendation

    XCW-F would be better for you than XC-F in any size. Less of an aggressive race bike and closer to a soft and easy trail bike. The CRFf, XT and TW bikes are attractive to beginners because the low seat height allows easier paddling, but the extra weight and clunking into stuff because of the...

    What did you do with your lion?

    Mostly cooked the meat like pork chops, very good stuff. Had the skull sitting on a tray in the carport and a raccoon or cat dragged it into the driveway and I ran over with my truck in the dark.

    1 Piece of Advice to pass onto a New Hunter

    Get a sling for your rifle, carrying it around by hand is going to feel really stupid halfway through the first day. Using a piece of rope after that is also going to suck. My first hunt was not well thought out.

    perfect hunting truck and trailer, camper,

    1: Four Wheel Drive Camper or All Terrain Camper. Not going to be the most spacious for 2, and they're lacking on some comfortable features, but they don't stick out so far past the bed that you need an extended hitch and they're lighter than anything else in the first place. If your truck can...

    Road trip and radio stations

    When you pass near or in cities, run through the scan button and save what you like on your presets. When you get a couple hours away, scan won't pick them up but you can still listen if you know what they are. Also write them down for the trip back. And future trips for that matter, this is...

    Hard cast bullets for Colorado?

    If it's hunting season and hunting hours, why wouldn't you carry your rifle where you could use it in case you accidentally run into an elk while hunting them?
