How many of you guys are just sitting your hunt?
This is rewarding stuff! I helped an awesome old dude/friend on his bear hunt. It was great. He calls what he does “A gentleman’s hunt” This old bear just walked in front of him as he was walking from the SXS to the glsssing point a couple hundred yards away. Heading up to hunt elk with him in... -
Glassing pad
Check out our 7 ounce Triple S Pillow. It’s all about comfort. It is more comfortable than anything else out there and it’s thickness conforms and supports my big flat old butt. It has a foam bead that doesn’t compress. -
Suppressor/trust questions
This. I went with the volume method of gun ownership. But then, I realized I had a bunch of basic guns/calibers that I didn’t shoot much, with ammo, scopes, etc. Also had other stuff like binos and packs and things… I sold them off once I got a very good rifle I like to shoot and then realized... -
Why are bullets frequently found just under the hide on the opposite side?
The force meter I bought has some different screw on attachments I am going to use. Probably thread some stuff for it too. Making the contraption to hold the hide in a repeatable way is going to take the most time, I think. Gonna be simple, 2 wood frames and screw them together. But, make them... -
How many of you guys are just sitting your hunt?
I do understand how you define the term “true hunting” and I can see/feel what you mean in my own experiences. I don’t have a problem with an opinion like that. The idea made me chew on it a little bit and ponder, cause I kinda felt the difference between chasing and sitting on my elk hunt. I... -

Suppressor/trust questions
The rule is: the successor trustee has full control after the initial trustee dies. Not sure if he is in the same state, but attorneys have to be licensed in the state they are practicing and trusts are state specific creatures… I could do a trust for AZ clients cause my trust follows AZ law... -
Who else hunts the west with a black rifle?
That’s cool you went to the effort for your own satisfaction. You figured it out a long time ago. I think the data and plenty of evidence is out there, once I started looking I found the scholarly papers that Form talks about. I found Form and others talking about it online. But, the industry... -
#24 Self Deception: Can you really do it in the field?
For the scholarly type, here is an article that explores the well known phenomenon of self-deception and self-preservation. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/66032/1/eprintsAlicke__Sedikides_2009_ERSP.pdf- hereinaz

#24 Self Deception: Can you really do it in the field?
@Formidilosus repeats, almost ad nauseum that the one of the biggest reasons we miss is that-- WE SUCK. Long range shooting is a specific skill, and there are many perishable elements of the skills, like building the position, trigger press, breathing, wind calling, etc. There is a reason his...- hereinaz

And, that ballistic gel cannot accurately reflect variability in actual animals. I think we can forget how “cutting edge” this is to the general public, even though a big portion of Rokslide has been learning and aware for years now. Sounds to me like more information will bring him up to speed. -
Who else hunts with a sub 8lb magnum rifle?
My .25 SST might qualify as a magnum under 8 pounds… -
Who else hunts the west with a black rifle?
And, the pictures show, to my mind, that hitting bone can have the effect of increasing tissue damage, and conversely almost never seems to decrease it, even “thick elk shoulders” or the actual big round ulnar bones. I like how you compare scapula to cardboard… -
Who else hunts the west with a black rifle?
An AR 15 shooting the right bullets, is a killer for sure. You will see in the thread that bone fragments often increase the total tissue damage because it becomes additional “shrapnel”. And, hitting a rib going in initiates faster fragmentation and therefore damaging more of the vital tissue... -
Who else hunts the west with a black rifle?
I think I am now understanding at least one thing you are saying and a possible divergence in the reasoning in the two sides of the discussion. Are you saying, you trust ballistic gel because it is a repeatable medium to see how a bullet deforms and acts in terminal performance, because there... -
Suppressor/trust questions
While it may happen, a trust is the only surefire way to always avoid probate, which is governed by state law. Whether a probate is required depends on the state probate law and situation of the dead person. The ATF requires that the decedent follow the state laws whether a probate is needed... -
Who else hunts the west with a black rifle?
The .223 thread, and many other threads in this forum are the subcontext for the discussion you stepped into, and the points that are being made above... I doubt that in reality many people would argue that ballistic gel is not a perfect simulation, and ultimately the "proof is in the pudding"... -
Who else hunts the west with a black rifle?
Ballistic gel is a calibrated test medium, and you are correct that it cannot exactly match the variabilities of shots on a living animal, from deer to moose. This thread consists of undeniable evidence that bullet construction/velocity are the only two factors necessary that can be used to...
