    Forecast at Elevation

    I personally like Weather Underground. Pick a close station to get a general idea. Figure 2 to 3 degree temp change per 1000'. Know that an inch of rain forecast could be 12" of snow if the temp is low enough. A true 100% mountain forecast is similar to stock market and lottery numbers...

    Jacket…KUIU Kenai vs Stone Glacier Cirque?

    Be interested after you see both. I looked hard at the SG but I run warm. Went with a Sitka mdwi instead. Kuiu never fits me unfortunately.

    How much elevation can you comfortably cover in a day?

    In my opinion "vert" is a lot like "we packed in 8 miles" or I "shoot sub moa all day" type comments. I would say 2k and under with a pack can be comfortable. Above that, you will start to wear down each day. Pick a camp spot that limits the climb as much as possible. That allows for more...

    Scammer Got Me for 2500$

    First off I am sorry to hear of this. There are two things I hate in this world is liars and thieves. For the kind of money you are talking about, I would let some local law enforcement help out. A quick google search of the username shows a person with the same user off of another hunting...

    Looks like brushed motors. Not a huge deal but probably why the cheaper price.

    New Yamaha Kodiak 450 or 700?

    Locker is nice for sure. Are you operating in the mountains at altitude? Figure 3% reduction per 1k of elevation. The 450 gets anemic quick with any payload or snow/mud.

    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    I like VXRT long-term and WHSI short time frame right now. WHSI is otc, hair on fire, manic, roller coaster ride. I think .15-.20 might happen by July. Vxrt will be longer with no real end game price in opinion.

    Front Sight Firearms training BANKRUPT

    My experience with "firearms training" is the higher they think of themselves, the lower quality of training you will receive. This goes for the shills as well as professional agency dudes. Just my humble opinion. Kinda like a great football player doesn't always make a great coach.

    Texas school shooting

    Help me wrap my brain around this. Drunk driving kills 10000 people a year, many of them children. Yet I never hear the media mention the bottles of booze or the vehicle used. You can buy alcohol anywhere in the US. Yet when it comes to a shooting, it is always the gun. When we as a society...

    Got bit

    I am never a fan of being overly physical with a dog. That being said, with a an episode like you described it may be required. A lightning quick grab, put him on his back, holding his mouth closed firmly should get his attention. It won't hurt him, but will show who the alpha truly is. I...

    Filson Reliance NeoShell

    I use my neoshell jacket (MH Cyclone ) for skiing mainly. It does everything pretty well except block the wind. If the wind is howling it is no bueno in my opinion. I also have an older Rab that is no longer waterproof no matter what I treat it with. It is a good fabric, just has some...

    Third season CO, to camp or not

    No disrespect, but I just don't get the "hunt from the hotel, vrbo". Elk hunting in most cases is not a comfort sport. Cold and wet is the rule. If you want to be successful, you have to move out of your comfort zone. Our spot would require an eight mile round trip everyday to hotel...

    Who else has caught the Rona?

    I believe I came down with the vid over my archery hunt this year. I attributed everything to altitude as we up around 11k all week. I felt like crap, lost my appetite, body aches, diarrhea, zero energy. Of course I just loaded up the ibuprofen and pressed on. Got home and was still zero...

    Diesel vs gas. Which one is better?

    I have owned a ram 2500 with 6.4l hemi and traded into same truck with 6.7l diesel. Within 1000 miles the dpf took a dump. Was under warranty but would have been 3k to fix otherwise. I have not had any other issues but getting close to the 100k motor warranty. Will probably trade back to a...

    Lost an elk

    Good advice above. Turn the failure into motivation. Next time you want to take a day off from shooting, remind yourself. Speaking of shooting, change your practice. Make it as realistic as possible. Run the heart rate up. Put yourself under time pressure, quick shots,, weird angles...
