When comparing .357 vs 10mm both shooting heavy hard cast bullets, you get very similar numbers as far as energy...
It's not as much as it being cold as it is about getting the heat out and kept dry. Shade during the day with air flowing around it and it will stay good longer than what you would think. Moving from lake to lake, floating, it is imperative to not get the meat wet or it will spoil quick.
Share the same sentiments as the OP and I ran my own trout guiding business. I specialized in using conventional spinning gear but different techniques than chuckin' spinners. I would get clients fairly often who had fished with other guides who only allowed fly fishing and they had a miserable...
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't a large part of the herd decline attributed to hoof rot?
Not knocking the predator control as that is a good thing for all animal species within the area. Glad to see them knock back the brownie numbers along with a few wolves.
Edit: I see it was...
No kidding.
People freaking out about cwd, but buy beef, chicken, and pork from the store that has all sorts of steroids, gmo grains, and who knows what else pumped into them.
What was political about my original statement?
You want to have a serious "nuanced" discussion, then by all means, but don't sit here and act like anyone who doesn't share your fear should be banned.
Seen them go do down from a 7mm with the 168 VLDs. Killed the same just as they have with other calibers. Just know you aren't going to be taking a frontal shot. Broadside they made a mess out of the lungs, but I wouldn't trust them to penetrate well enough for shots that are not your typical...
The synthetic utility is what I like and wear the most.

I'm buying a Mule this summer for this exact specific reason. I will use it for other adventures later on, but for right now it is to cross a river with my gear and a caribou in it.
This. I've found through experimentation that the neck is best used for roasts where the final presentation uses shredded meat. Sure beats spending a ton of time cutting and trimming all the sinew and everything else out of it. just divide into equal 2lb pieces and done with it.
From what I remember it was 98% US hunting. They would have some turkey hunting articles each spring and then some other waterfowl and upland sprinkled in there time to time. It's a lot of US big game hunting. I enjoyed it, I cancelled my membership last year after 5 years just cause I was...
GM's 6.0 engine is probably the most reliable engine out there. I'm not saying it pulls the best or gets the greatest mpg, but it is very dependable even when abused. They last as well. There is also a big difference in driving a half ton truck compared to a 3/4 ton truck. If going half ton...
