    Klymit Sleeping Bag $24

    It’s a decent bag overall. Definitely hits above its price point. I used one for 13 days in the high country at the end of last September. It will be my backup this September and November.

    Colorado Unit 81 now a draw instead of OTC for Archery

    I believe the strategy was to start with the calculated approximate amount of hunters from the last 2 years of otc (2400 archery hunters) then dial it back to meet herd management goals. But guys are also becoming more educated and ambitious. Gear is also better and lighter than ever.

    Savage 110 ultralight (proof barrel)

    Is the side of the lug on the inside (left side if right handed, right side if left handed) catching and scoring the lug? I have not seen a rear trigger guard screw strip out on an accustock, usually it’s the plastic trigger guard breaking and guys installing stainless or matte black steel units.

    Goruck Mowing?

    I do this every year. I wear my pack as frequently as possible even if it’s 10 minutes a time. 20 minutes on lunch breaks, hit the hill with the pack on. Mowing the yard takes me an hour 15. Cleaning the pool. Walking the kids to the park. Exc. One year a while back I did very little pack...

    Lapping "High end" scope rings?

    Very similar process to what I do, but I use a slow set epoxy, much like jb weld marine. Make sure whatever you are using it is solvent resistant. Once the rail is set I typically bed the ring bases. Then check alignment and trueness. If a lap pass or two is required then that is next, I use a...

    Savage 110 Trail Hunter

    I for one happen to like the way some of them look and feel. I’ve handled everything from other manufacturers and don’t care for most of them. I did swap out a stock on my lightweight storm, which I’m impartial to the way it feels now. The trigger fits my shot process well, especially the fact...

    Savage 110 Trail Hunter

    Every savage I’ve owned besides a UL in 28nosler has been moa or better. My high country in 300wm is consistent sub 1” at 300 and 3” at 600. LW storm in 308 is usually sub 1” at 200. 300wsm timberline is sub 1” at 200. UL in 308 is 1” @ 200. LW storm in 7mm 08 is my least accurate and that is a...

    How common are mature bucks?

    Coming from the Midwest, having harvested b&c white tails, it still amazes me every time I see a good muley on a hunt. They typically surprise me as I’m stalking elk. If inches is what you aspire. Go find mounts of muleys to get a general idea of just how big a 160 is. To get above that...

    Pack size recommendations

    I did 7 days on my pintler w/lid and 13 days on my k4 5000. Confidence in gear and your ability is key. I would highly recommend the k4 5000 or if you have high quality light weight gear, the k4 3600 is plenty sufficient unless this is late season and several more layers are required for survival.

    Backcountry Hot Tub

    One of the inflatable hot tubs off Amazon ran on a generator? Was about to buy one for the basement last winter, but the kids would mistreat it.

    Newer Truck vs. Low Mileage Old Truck

    Unless you are going to cycle a new truck every 2-4yrs. New trucks do not make sense to own. Most are very unreliable and cost substantially more to repair. They are not made as well as the older ones. If you find a low mileage what appears to be well maintained truck you like. It most likely...

    Savage 110 ultralite pic rail

    Egw and warne bothe make la and sa 110 products. I have both on my several 110s. EGW makes the rail that comes on the 110s if equipped. Personally I like their light weight hunter rail. Attached is a sa and la lightweight hunter EGW on 110s

    CPW Staff changed it's recommendation, they now support archery OTC for residents

    Newburg and Jacobson recently covered states having the right to manage their own wildlife resources. All non residents should be in support of resident conservation priorities. Before more of these “non profits” make state resources a federal issue with ballot box initiatives. Each state needs...
