Semi Live Backcountry Blacktail Hunt 2019
I glass all day and use the spotter all the time. I usually glass areas that are from a few hundred yards to a a couple miles. I wouldn’t go into the Alps without a spotter.- RosinBag

Lapping scope rings
I lap all of mine just for piece of mind. As for yours, I would have sent them back. Your before pick with the bar pictured makes it look like the rings are not even round. -
Kinetic energy
@Adam12, your set up is fine for anything you want to kill. It’s all personal preference. Heavy and slow or light and fast, there isn’t any deer or elk that won’t die with a shot in the vitals. For dozens of years KE was the go to stat for hunters and now it’s all about momentum. Reality is if... -
How Much Private Land Is Fenced In?
I have seen antelope jump fences all the time and at full speed or walking up to them. And all the time. -
DESPERATE TIMES!!!!
I say shoot as far as you want, I would shoot an elk at a 1000 if that’s what was needed. -
Bow Durability
You will never do it again since you went through this experience. -
DESPERATE TIMES!!!!
Your 6.5 is more than adequate. Elk killed all over the country with that cartridge. -
Bow Durability
I also think you are overthinking it. The bow you have is a great bow. Constructively though, I wouldn’t pack a bow in a pannier, you are asking for trouble. Either carry it or top pack it in a hard case. And if you are messing with mod screws frequently, you probably wore off the factory... -
DESPERATE TIMES!!!!
Why don’t you just shoot one of your other rifles you mentioned? If it is a booked / outfitter hunt is highly unlikely you will shoot further than 400 at an elk. -
New Kuiu Pro Suspension and Pro Bag Review
They are. The guide pants are pretty warm / heavy duty so you know. -
Arrows impacting target at different angles
I may be the minority, but if your BH’s and FP’s are both hitting and grouping together at 60, I would leave it. Unless you have brand new target or an area of a target that isnt compromised from shooting from a different sides, I don’t put much faith in the angle the arrow finishes. Also if... -
Exaggerated numbers in the backcountry. Is everyone full of it?
My guess is who cares in the big picture. There are hundreds of people on all these forums that are “backcountry hunters” only on the key board in their moms basement. You can usually tell who they are and it doesn’t affect my hunting one bit. Those same guys talk the talk, brag and boast, but...- RosinBag

Backpack Stove Review - MSR vs Jetboil ***Updated 2/3/20***
I haven’t compared any of those for fuel burn, but I know what I can get out of my Jetboil. I run the Sol Ti and with the 110g Snow Peak fuel bottle I can get 19, 16 ounce boils of water out of it at sea level. That number could drop a couple at higher elevations, but overall it is very... -
New Kuiu Pro Suspension and Pro Bag Review
Regarding the old hip belt pouches. It is correct they won’t fit, and I also think you are better off buying the small stuff sacks as they are waterproof, lighter and cheaper than the hip belt pockets. -

Kuiu Kutana rain jacket
I was at Kuiu for about two hours today doing a little if this and that. IMO the Kutana stuff I don’t think will pile at all so it should be much better in that regards than the Peloton stuff. I think the Chugach and Kutana are designed for two different environments overall, so it depends on... -
Newb Question: Meat Care on Solo Hunt
I wouldn’t make four trips to start unless that is all you physically can manage. It sounds like it is downhill to your spike camp area, so I would try and do two trips with half each time, if it is off the bone. If it isn’t off the bone, I would take it off the bone. An average boned out elk... -
New Rest recomendations
Hamskea all day every day. The Trinity will be just as good as the Hunter if not better. -
Kuiu Icon Pro vs. Eberlstock?
Between those two, I would choose Kuiu 100 to 1. The new Pro Suspension is a game changer in every aspect as works as well as any other pack in the market. -
French Tuning BH
I would stick with your original plan since you are getting close to hunting. If your BH’s group who cares if they match your FP’s, just re sight in A week before hunting and go kill something.
