    Outfitters banning bergers?!

    6.5 PRC. I honestly think the expansion is too slow for thin skinned game like the pronghorn and doe whitetail that I had bad experiences with. What i saw was pin holes. If I was to shoot another deer or smaller sized critter with them I would high shoulder them to ensure getting bone. I...

    Outfitters banning bergers?!

    I have unfortunately seen a 2 for 3 failure rate with my limited experiences with berger 140 VLDs and have moved back to hammers, nosler, and ELDX. They work at the range, but I don't like shooting animals 5 times.

    Thorofare wilderness hunt

    Just rent some horses and go. It is a general hunt and not in any way worth $12000. The only benefit of a guide is camp/horse chores.

    Suppressor wait times

    Just got 2 approvals, 60 and 109 days each for an individual. Had one clear in 4 days earlier this year. Seems like a game of pulling straws

    Mathews Lift Review, By Les Welch

    Seen a few limb failures with these just FYI. I would consider something else if you want reliable, but that is nearly impossible in the modern compound arena

    How do you handle windy days?

    Get in the thick stuff. That's where the elk will be. Wind is great as it can mask your noise. Scent is not much of an issue with elk and wind can difuse it

    What caliber would you start a hunter with?

    6.5 creed will have lower recoil and is ballistically superior in every way. Further effective range, less recoil, more resistant to wind, and on and on.

    Do you adjust MV or BC value of a ballistic app when field proven the ballistics?

    That is why we true/tune mv first in most cases, however, with a good muzzle velocity measurement you are only trueing the velocity to average out an equation in a sense; think about manipulating a number to get a better solution that is not exact, without putting in the time to realize if you...

    Do you adjust MV or BC value of a ballistic app when field proven the ballistics?

    I do this daily, if using a truly good chrono like a xero always true your BC. No matter the range. start your true at 500 then move it out. Run a doppler BC if possible not a G7

    What music do you listen to?

    Be proud of being a millennial, we get to inherit the financial mess created by the boomers. Our hands are clean. I listen to anything other than classical and Jazz.

    Elk hunting grizzly country

    Don't shoot in the evening and if you do start packing. Most problems happen when meat is left overnight. Plus waiting till light to pack out a bull is poor practice regardless of bears.

    bullet selection for mountain goat

    I have seen more goats die by 6.5 creed than I care to admit. I know of seven that died out to 500 yards with 124 hammer hunters. Anything will do.

    2 bags, how cumbersome?

    I believe a well insulated pad is more important than a bag for keeping you warm. Why not get a better pad with a high R value and wear puffy pants and a jacket while you sleep if needed for extra warmth. I have been comfortable in near 0 degree temps with an xtherm and a 28 degree quilt
