    Crispi Colorado vs Summit

    On my summits and the colorados, they both shrunk......mostly the shape of the toe box (length). When I bought the colorado after having the summits shrink I sized them to where I felt they were almost too big. After 2 years they are just slightly too small. If you look at the shape of the toe...

    Crispi Colorado vs Summit

    The summit feels more like a cheaper hiking boot to me, not very stiff sole and not much ankle support. Mine lasted good and stayed waterproof. Pretty lightweight boot/shoe The colorado is much stiffer and has very good ankle support. Feel much heavier to me.

    Black bear shot placement

    It was explained to me by a guide of many years as middle of head to tail and middle top to bottom of chest cavity. We just aim back from the shoulder...where the yellow circle is. Shot one where the little red circle is (dead center shoulder) and got to deal with a mad bear with two broken...

    Any Mechanics? 2001 Tundra Brake Issues

    Bump the starter 2 or 3 times before you actually crank on it. If it starts normally replace the fuel pump. Fuel pumps "fail" in many different ways, and this is one of them.

    Cooper tires

    The st maxx is a pretty decent tire all around. Good treadwear for a heavy pickup and good enough traction in most all conditions. Good heavy construction tire. I wouldnt run the at3 on a pickup unless it was used entirely on paved roads......and then, there are better choices for that anyway...

    .270 upgrade

    bored to 338 06 or 35 whelen would be cool as an extra rifle, but recoil (when loaded to what the cartridge is capable of) is starting to get up there. Both really cool cartridges that must not be flashy enough or something.....

    .270 upgrade

    If it is actually fouled to the point that it has to be cleaned, any of the good copper cleaners work ok. IF it is fouled enough to need cleaning, you will want to alternate cleaners (copper...carbon) until clean and it can take awhile to actually get it all out. If you dont get it all out...

    .270 upgrade

    The best shooting rifle I have has a slightly pitted bore that fouls easily and is difficult to get clean. Happens to be a 270..... Have used the 140 ballistic tip with really good results out to 500.

    Ideas for helping kids enjoy hikes and scouting new areas.

    They all change what they like to do somewhat every year. Alot of short hikes is way better than one long one. Have one kid that if there are fish at the end of the trail, regardless of length of walk or difficult or weather we are going. No fish, they will go but complain.

    243 bullet for youth deer

    Give the 95 grain ballistic tip a try. We have used 100 grn speer bullets and 100grn hornady interlocks, and both killed fine, the ballistic tip was better. I keep reading about guys liking the 85ttsx, but our results with it were pretty poor......slow kills and no blood trail.

    Snow tires- Lion hunting

    Just to get back to the op question. In the types of snow that you will deal with, If you only plan to run in axle deep snow, any tire and chains will work good for you. If you are set up to air down, you will be able to run in much deeper snow and without the chains, unless the roads are icy...
