    What to do with the meat foreign hunter in Wyoming, Idaho and Colorado. Need meat cutters and places to donate

    @Mojave I hope your buddy has the time of his life. I live in N. Idaho, and if something comes up, even unfortunate, I may be able to help.

    If I wasn't in the middle of remodeling expenses I would have been the new owner already! Free bump

    Muzzleloader overpressure

    It's hard to get over pressure with BP. You'll get a big flash and huge smoke before you have issues. Most find better accuracy loaded for efficiency.

    16" deer gun

    I have been using a m600 in .308w and the muzzle blast is substantial. But is light, quick pointing, effective. Pick your evils.

    Best Range Finders

    I've been using Sig for both archery and rifle. I've had no issues whatsoever but when I recommend a Sig to my son his went to crap during the first season. He sent it in, they sent it back reporting nothing wrong. It would range a couple times and then not. Very random. He tried sending it in...

    Grizzly bear killed in Unit 6

    Maybe if IDFG didn't pretend the Grizzlies are only in the upper few units, and admit there's quite a few of them folks would be a little more cautious.

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    "raw kinetic energy based only on bullet mass and velocity is not predictive of terminal performance" - Truth Why are people still hung up on KE or ft lbs of energy numbers? It's a calculation that means very little by itself. It doesn't determine anything without transfer. Like a roadster...

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    I wouldn't avoid using a bigger caliber. It's just not "needed" really. I have a .338wm that will stack the first five and still use it for elk for the most part. The reason is its accurate and I have enough components to use it until I die most likely. I have also squirreled away enough...

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    The FBI liked the 10mm for it's performance, found that the women and men of small stature didn't handle it well. So they de-tuned it, shortened it and we arrived at. 40 S&W. Those same people struggled with it so they went back to 9mm. Along with this historical evolution, bullet technology...

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    This. The cited document even states it. It went on to quantify the energy level as a measly 500ft lbs. Nowhere did it suggest a specific caliber had anything definitive to do with acceptable energy transfer. Those cool pictures of ballistic gel in motion are demonstrating energy transfer...

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    Having stockpiled components for years, ima keep on shooting what I already have. The answer is no. My recommendation is no. But my inventory says yes.

    Mid tier to premium level optics is the price worth it?

    Like many things in life, you can only do what you can do. I lost a really nice pair and couldn't justify the expense to replace them. I bought Nikon Monarch to get by, and was happy using them for the cost. Way better than some similar priced at the time. Definitely better than nothing. I...

    Do any of you have a Rig just to use in the Mountains

    I like old school for the simplicity. Ideally, no electronics that can prevent it from running. Still have the potential of a failure but a one wire alternator, a mechanical fuel pump, a carb, and a couple gauges doesn't leave a lot to go wrong.

    Do any of you have a Rig just to use in the Mountains

    It depends on where we are. We've used a quad some, but I have a good running beater that sees way more use all through hunting season.

    Stuck CB in suppressor and unscrewed my whole barrel. I didn’t know I was so strong

    Try spraying this in the can after each range session. Soaking it and dropping it in a sonic bath should prevent this.
