    Help me decide on a unit - CO Elk

    I'm at the same level on my points, was planning on cashing out on 76 this year, for muzzleloader. But then I got the "don't plan on too much vacation time, big project finishing up in the fall" line from work. Not going to risk it, I want a week before the season to locate the bull I want...

    Mans best friend - shooting vs euthanasia

    Every dog I've put down, I've had the vet come to the house, so they can die peacefully in a place they know and love. Couldn't fathom letting go a best friend in any other way, unless it was remote, they were mortally injured, and I had no other alternative. I want my last memories of them to...

    "I don't really want to kill anything"

    I would have loved to have hunted more with my dad when he was younger. He took me enough to get the fire burning, but I went away to college and lost a few years, when I got back, he just wanted to take the atv out and get his deer, I just wanted to bow hunt elk. We didn't really have...

    tristar viper g2

    I have one, for what it costs, I've been very happy with it. Never had a ftf with it, but I've jammed it twice on fast 2nd shots, one of which I distinctly remember the shell that jammed being not 100% pushed into the feed tube when I loaded it, due to dropping it in the snow and getting some...

    Bullet proof elk

    I shot my bull this year with a 300wm 190g Accubond (ABLR) at 176 yards this year. High angle, quartering away. Entry right above and 12" behind the left shoulder, exit through the right front quarter just above the knee. Dropped in it's tracks. My rifle likes them and 200g Eld-X the best, so...

    Everyone is being Brainwashed- Jocko Willink

    Jocko's "Extreme Ownership" is required reading for up-and-coming leaders in my organization. It should probably be required reading for humans. His messages have always struck me as primarily positive, and focused on self-improvement and accountability. I appreciate what he has to say, and...

    Late season back country hunt

    An example of the weather here... yesterday in Denver it hit 61, after being in the 20's at 5 am. Today it was -9 when I got to town for work, it never got above 15 all day. Sounds like you are taking the right steps. I would definitely suggest as much backpacking and low risk winter...

    Custom shelters and modifications

    This is an awesome design. I would be interested in the larger size with a few tweaks. Have you got a weight, dimensions and cost for it yet? I would also be looking to add a snow skirt, and probably some additional guy out points. Have you done any versions with bug netting? I really like...

    Best 4 season 4 person high wind tent ?

    Have a North Face Mountain 25 that I would comfortably use in any conditions, its a commonly used high altitude mountaineering tent. Mine is a 2 person, but they make a 4 person base camp size that is bombproof. Lots of good options listed here, never used a Hilleberg, but they have an...

    Late season back country hunt

    I would add an expedition weight top and bottom, fleece is pretty cozy, or the grid type, also a set of heavyweight loose fitting boot socks (Smartwool heavy hikers are great.) This is just for night time. Get out of your clammy cold stuff and into warm, dry sleeping clothes. Dry the stuff...

    Spare pistol or not in the back country, a modest proposal.

    If this worked for an AI, it should work for a pack of Grizz. Gotta think of the weight savings when going deep. Maybe cut in a few gun ports.

    Weight of the world in a limited space!?

    Kuiu rifle sling with an extra strap to keep it snugged in tight works great when on the move. In my hands otherwise. Trying to manage it with a shoulder sling is a hassle. I took mine off this year. Some bino harness are more comfortable than others. I've had good luck with the Kuiu pro...

    Ground meat gone bad = haul out the spices

    I tend to err on the safe side. If I accidentally leave something in the fridge a few days too long and see that it's spoiling, it gets cooked well done and goes to the dog. Protein doesn't get wasted, and he has a lot tougher stomach for dealing with bacteria than my kids do. I try not to...
