    (New Member) Elk hunt caliber

    Welcome to the forum. Elk hunting is a terrible addiction. But I hope to never overcome it! I like a .30 caliber rifle for elk. Have several of the .30s but always seem to grab a .300 Win Mag for elk. Good luck and enjoy.

    Grizz encounter near Wolf Creek, MT

    Grizz charging "might" get the adrenalin pumping through the system. Hard to stay on target when looking at a big, furry bowl of Jello running at you. Lucky guy.

    Grizzlies in the bighorns

    It is really sad how our so-called leaders can openly obfuscate an issue, if the science, that they claim to believe and need to have to make a decision, doesn't go their way.

    Best rangefinder brand for longevity????

    Really enjoying my Maven. Been through a bunch over the years and the next best one that I had, surprisingly enough, was a Nikon.

    Zero turns

    Many times and if you have any hills or go out on wet grass, you won't be happy with one. For flat, dry mowing they are fine but if you have any back issues, they will be pronounced after a mowing.

    Zero turns

    Hustler Super Z has mowed my 5 acres for the last 8 years. Zero problems. I also have a John Deere and a Ferris but the Hustler seems to do all the work. I would also say that a good dealer/service company would weigh heavily on my decision. Definitely any mower you buy should NOT be a...

    New Trucks....

    Very good friend has worked for each of the big four dealerships and when I asked him which truck he would buy, he said, "I'd buy the one that had a color that matched your boat. They're all junk so at least look good while you're sitting buy the side of the road waiting for a tow truck!"

    Shingles Recommendation

    An architectural shingle is where you start as long as your roof has a greater than 4-12 pitch. Not a fan of roof turbines. I always try and avoid any more opportunities for the roof to leak because of something breaching the roof. Use an ice and water shield paper under the shingles. Be sure...

    How did you pick your pack?

    Fits me well. Spreads the load out evenly. Packed out 3 elk with mine in the last 2 years.

    What's the most fun a guy can have with $20,000

    Since the question of what to do with your money is bothering you so much, send it to me and I'll worry for you! Elk, deer, antelope and black bear are pretty much the norm for us lucky Americans. I'd be thinking and looking outside the US and thinking of what you want to be remembering that...

    Don't underestimate old guy strength

    After smoking a kid that was half my age on a mountain climb on my bicycle, when the kid arrived at the bottom/finish he looked at me and said, "that's a titanium bike isn't it?" I said that it was. He replied, "I was always told to watch out for old men on titanium bikes!" I just smiled and...

    Yamaha or Honda ATV Recommendations

    Honda Foreman owner here. Between my hunting/farming buddies we have had a lot. Great dealer that keeps us in tires and fluids. The only issue that I have seen (since the '85 Big Red days) has been a couple of starters and batteries. Change the oil and go. I still have a 2006 Foreman (that my...
