    120g Nosler Ballistic Tips for Sheep

    I've used a 130 Gr .270 ballistic tip on a Bighorn ram at about 150 yds with no issues. It dropped and didn't get up.

    Caliber Recommendation for Mt Goat

    I've taken 3, all with a .264 Winchester Magnum and 140 gr Speer. That said, like they say, you can never have too much gun. I'd caveat that with "as long as you can shoot it"!

    What’s the trad equivalent to the 100Y compound shot?

    No reason not to set up a 100 yard target for the trad bows too. Back about 50 years+, we had them, why not now?

    Drip edge on roof?

    Best to check with your local building inspector, but no water should be "trapped"....sounds like someone's cutting corners to me too.

    Kuiu kenai vs first lite uncompahgre?

    I have both and I think they are pretty much even as far as warmth goes. I’ve had my uncompahgre for about six or seven years and it’s what I use exclusively. I’ve only had my kenai for a little over a year and it just hangs in the closet. The medium uncompahgre fits me really well with...

    Ethics in hunting, the story of my once in a lifetime Buck....

    This sounds like a modern version of the old game of calling random numbers, telling them to hold on, and then keeping track of how long each person will wait before hanging up. I think we're all on hold and the OP is trying to see how many pages his thread gets up to before it dies. Maybe...

    A ram from Pop!

    Congratulations! Just curious, how many years have you been putting in as a NR? You probably really beat the odds with this one!

    Hunting Chelan, WA

    For any of the OIL permits, you've got to put in your dues. I started applying in 1972 at 14....I finally drew a ram permit in 2014....42 years later! In the interim, I did draw 3 goat permits before they became OIL and drew an any moose permit in 2015 after 38 years applying. The last permit...

    Let's see some Traditional Harvests! (Muzzleloader)

    November 2919, bighorn ewe here in Washington. Thompson Center Seneca .45 with home cast maxi-hunter over 75 gr of Goex 2f. She and a couple of others were being chased by a ram and lucky me just happened to be in the right place. She was about 45 yards away.

    Let's see some Traditional Harvests! (Muzzleloader)

    September 26th here in Washington, Snake River Breaks. Thompson Center Hawken with a .62 Green Mountain barrel rifled 1:72 and .595 ball over 90 gr of Goex 2f. I sneaked up and sat on the top of the basalt outcrop 25 yards away for over 3 hours waiting for him to stand. He was bedded in the...

    Firearm Boxes: To Keep or Not To Keep?

    I keep them too, though most of my guns have been bought used without boxes. My oldest are the boxes for my 20 ga Beretta AL-2 that I bought new in 1972 and the box for my 12 ga Beretta BL-3 that I bought used in 1974. I did use the box for my Ruger Red Label when I shipped it back to the mfg...

    Day pack/meat hauler

    Sorry to hear about your back trouble....that would really suck. Have you spoken to your doctor about packing weight? He may have some input on how to pick up a loaded pack, twisting, etc. You might check for other Roksliders in your area that may be willing to let you try their packs with...

    Traditional Clothing

    Wander through the local Goodwill stores. Every so often you'll find Pendleton or Woolrich wool shirts on the rack for very nice prices. I used to do it quite often until my wife announced that I had enough of them! I used to get them for as low as $2.98 to as high as $4.98....:D
