    Back country Bipod

    I went to buy Javalin tripods for my kids and I really wanted to like them. I was going to buy two pairs and another in the future depending on how they performed. However, the shop owner talked me out of them. They are too short to shoot from sitting so getting above grass can be tricky. And...

    I've used tirechainsrequired.com with good luck. They have good prices and service.

    chains for snow, what do you use, especially 4runner or tacoma people

    The v bar chains help with lateral traction for side hills. I wouldn't bother with cables. And try them out before you go counting on them to make sure they fit. The spider bungees are great.

    What pistol do you carry in the back country?

    I've been thinking of this but I was worried about the accuracy of the lcrx. Is it feasible to make 10 yd shots like grouse are willing to provide?

    What pistol do you carry in the back country?

    44 mag 329pd. I put a tritium front sight on as well as a crimson trace grip. Happily, the laser sight works and has maintained accuracy after hundreds of shots.

    Odd Question

    I'm curious: why would any of that be suspected or assumed?? Really, who do you think that last line applies to?

    Advice After First Elk Hunt

    Your water solution was mentioned straight away. Boil water at night before bed and throw a Nalgene of boiling water in the bottom of your sleeping bag about 1/2 hr before bed. Your bag will be warm and instead of having to warm it up you will be in heaven and your water will be thawed in the...

    Campers, Toy Haulers, towing them - school me, please

    You can pull a smaller bumper pull without trouble with a 1/2 ton but with some limitations. You will take longer getting where you are going. If you want a bigger trailer I'd go with a larger truck. Forget about a 5th wheel with a 1/2 ton. You won't need a diesel unless you just can't live...

    Asking where you hunt

    I'm actually not sure. He might fall into your latter set. If I were in his position I would be careful not to be mistaken as being from the former set because that would be a pretty douchy move.

    Wiser Precision Trekking pole mount

    Btw, the "thumbs up" was not exactly in reference to the new shooting rest system, but for her younger siblings who still hadn't left for school when she took the elk. We had hiked since 4am and actually had cell service from this mountain top. With regards to the Quick-Stix, it was a happy...

    2019 Best Bull Elk Hunt Photo Contest, sponsored by Kifaru

    This is my 12 yr old daughter's first elk. We began from the ridge in the background before she took this bull at sunrise and she never complained all day. It's my favorite bull.

    Wiser Precision Trekking pole mount

    I just got a set and my 12 yr old put them to work on her first bull. This is a good product and a lot slicker than the Velcro strap I used to use for the purpose. I had a little trouble with the website but the owner took care of it and I received them quickly.

    Asking where you hunt

    I just got off the phone with an older schoolmate of my kids. He has been asking inappropriate questions but I give him a pass due to his age. I didn't give him hunting spots but instead texted him glassing spots and all the info I could pour into his young skull. I wish I had time to take him...

    Asking where you hunt

    I probably take it too seriously. I was certainly referring to people asking with the intent to locate elk. A few wrong words passing around some bars around here is worse than a sewing circle. Just so no one thinks I'm a tight ass: I'll take people to my honey holes. I just have to hunt with...

    Asking where you hunt

    I think it's rude and I meet the question unkindly. How about you? Am I just a jerk? Typically, I answer something like "behind the shoulder" or "in the mountains." Often I find people are leading, suggesting locales. Then I agree and say "yes" to every guess. The season before last I checked...

    meat grinder storage

    I keep mine in the shop. I bought a cheap steel cart that it rides on with wrapping plastic, paper, and plastic tubs. I picked up a grill cover to keep everything clean when it's not in use and roll it out when needed. My grinder is pretty heavy so it's not fun to lug about.

    Sharing an elk

    As a local hunter, I'm in the "we don't share" camp. It sounds worse than it is. On the other hand, my buddy hadn't filled a tag a few seasons ago and I connected at last light, last night of season. I sent him home with that entire elk. His freezer was pretty empty and mine full; we've never...

    Snow Fences

    For aesthetics and general convenience I would build right down the property line and then a short dog leg to the drive approach. See how that does and add a lateral off of it as needed. That will give a fence as well as provide a similar level of protection. Personally, I wouldn't build on my...
