    Why are people so unkind

    Good luck on your hunt. Also agree that some of these guys would rather you take their wife for a month than give up their elk spots. I'm sure there is a meme for that somewhere on here.

    A camera for the lady

    Another thing to add to the list is the adapters for the camera to your spotting scope, rangefinder, etc if she wants (or you would like her) to be more a part of your hunt.

    Christensen Arms Modern Hunting Rifle

    I'm interested in the review. The features are good but that MSRP is a bit high, even on gun.deals it's ~3300

    Elopement

    Our opinions 28 years ago was that getting married was for the two people getting married. Weddings were for the people that aren't in the marriage. Justice of the Peace then, much more financially whole ever since.

    Lump charcoal

    In the past I would seek out and buy lump from all over for use (the "best" mentioned anywhere). Lately I've been happy enough with the local stuff from the mexican markets or hardware or feed stores and it's a lot cheaper than shipping. If you want to chase the "best" here's a resource that may...

    Garage Heater

    We had a direct vent ceiling mount propane heater (later converted to natural gas when it was available for the house) controlled by a thermostat. Was mostly set at 48 degrees in the Michigan winters unless we were planning to work on something in the garage. Turn it up that morning or the night...

    lightest weight saw for removing elk anters

    Very old thread but: If you like a lightweight folding bone saw check out the Silky line. They don't target sportsman but there are a lot of choices in size and length and weight to fit your needs and the blade is incredibly sharp. We've used them for everything around camp and also as a bone saw.

    Trijicon Tenmile 3-18x50 or SWFA SS 3-15x42

    Yes for the FFP Tenmile as well. The reticle is always there in black without illumination, and either red or green depending on which illumination color you turn it to.

    Creepy experiences in the backcountry

    Understand that it wasn't you and your friends in this instance but wanted to share another side of a similar story. Apparently this was a popular entertainment going a ways back, not sure what time frame your fun was but I know of it occurring in the mid 60's in southeastern Michigan as well...

    And another stolen elk skull

    This is a heck of a phenomenon and we keep hearing more and more instances of it. What is more valuable a set of antlers or a catalytic converter? Where I'm located in AZ right now, there are several neighboring houses that have sets mounted outside their cabins or garages. It's a quiet area...

    Getting best of both worlds - "standard" and long-range riflescope?

    If you want to go the FFP route, check out the Trijicon Tenmile. Lots of threads on this scope here.

    Lead Contamination Great Lakes

    Spoke with some family members that were there and was told that after the lead weight reveal, those guys were lucky to get out of there in one piece.

    Lead Contamination Great Lakes

    This is another example to support Matt's @Mattrinella conversation, "Fish quietly" too. Seems like anything with a monetary reward to it can and probably will encourage poor behavior.

    Is it gonna be a good rut this year in unit 22

    I'd guess better than normal year in AZ 22N. We have seen a lot of elk during our trips into that unit the last couple of months.
