    Programs like MTN tough vs hiking with heavy packs

    I'm gonna throw a little different angle at you. I have been working out consistently for over 4 years now. I did a lot of high intensity workouts and seemed to have good results the first couple years. The last two years I just seemed like I was constantly getting annoying little injuries...

    Traveling Job with Kids

    I have had projects that I traveled weekly for 12-15 weeks in a row. It would be a hard no for any more than that situation. It worked OK from 1-3 kids, but now that we have 4 its really rough on my wife when I am gone. I work in the construction industry and it sure seems like the guys that...

    Who's buying a vehicle before the Fed increases interest rates more?

    There’s a lot ways to justify a new vehicle but not making monthly payments is pretty hard to beat. I will always go the debt free route.

    Colorado OTC Archery Elk

    Exactly, I love hunting Colorado and I have had lots of good hunts. I even spent most of that mentioned hunt in elk. Had a herd bull screaming at me from 120 yards away, which as a rifle hunter was a new experience. I always advocate for Colorado residents to remain otc, and I am not a...

    Colorado OTC Archery Elk

    I prefer to rifle hunt, but a couple years ago I picked up a muzzleloader cow tag in an OTC archery unit. What a freaking zoo! I would never waste the NR fees on a tag in an OTC archery unit again. OTC hunting is dead thanks to the Hunting Marketing Machine and everyone (especially our Game...

    Did any NonRes NOT apply for 2023 Wyoming elk?

    I used to apply every year. Now that they sit on my money for 6 months I'm a little more strategic about when I apply...

    Looking for a simple mobility routine

    I'll second @insanelupus with the Mind Pump performance mobility. They have the first week free on Youtube and mobility is day 2 and 4. Search Mind Pump MAPS Performance. Honestly once you start doing mobility work 10 minutes isn't enough. I like to do 30-45 minutes 2-3 times a week in the...

    CPW Commission is proposing ALL DRAW for elk

    This is what will happen. Nebraska had been getting crowding complaints and so they capped the NR tags but used the previous seasons tag sales for that cap number. CPW is likely going to sell the same number of tags in the end.

    CPW - ‘Righting’ some Wrongs

    @Archer86 is right, and its unfortunate so many people overlook this^^^ I love hunting and spend the whole year preparing for it but if you asked me about my most memorable times in the mountains, the top of the list is always going to be spending time with my wife, kids, and friends. I'll...

    Elk Hunting with Newborn Baby?

    With an August baby you might be good to hunt in November, but I would definitely skip the September/October seasons. I've had 4 kids - some babies are hard, some are easy. Your family is far more important than a hunting season so make sure you take care of that first!

    Is 308 good enough

    Have you considered a muzzle brake on the 300WM? My braked 300wm is way more pleasant than my 308 to shoot.

    Do I need Onx offroad if I have Onx hunt?

    Download the Avenza app and then download the MVUM maps for your area. It works offline and you'll have the current MVUM for road closures.

    Help with a 300 win mag

    I shoot a Ruger M77 all weather model that they don't even make anymore and its definitely not light. I've actually never weighed it because I really like the rifle and just don't want to know:ROFLMAO:. I have lighter rifles but the M77 is my favorite to shoot so I just haul the extra weight...

    Setting up a 4 person hunt with 3 Newbs, what would you suggest???

    I will only hunt with 1 other person at a time. 2 opinions are more than enough opinions for a hunt.

    Help with a 300 win mag

    I would thread your barrel and put on a muzzle brake. If your only using for hunting you won’t be shooting more than 5-10 rounds/year. Wear hearing protection to sight in and you’ll be good. I’m pretty recoil sensitive and I have no problems with the 300wm with a brake.

    Best Credit Card? What an oxymoron.

    I used a Scheels card for the last 10ish years. Enjoyed the rewards - always paid it weekly. We started using the EveryDollar App to help keep track of our family budget and our card wouldn't work so we switched to a debit card. Its painfully obvious that you spend less money when you only...

    Roads in Colorado units 54, 551, & 11

    I hunt that area and I’ll just reiterate what others have said. I’ll base camp low and use a sxs to get deeper. The mornings are usually ok to drive because everything is frozen but at night after everything is thawed during the day it can be a pain even in a sxs.
