    Suggestions on Best Rig for CO's Elk Muzzleloader Season

    IMO, you won't find a better muzzleloader for hunting Colorado than a White. They aren't made any longer but can be found if you look. Their reputation for shooting heavy lead (full bore-conical) with impressive accuracy is well established. Match grade barrels and Timney triggers are standard...

    First timer question on boned out quarter vs. bone in

    Interesting opinions and justification for both bone-out and bone-in. I personally have been de-boning solely to facilitate cooling in warmer temps. The quality of the meat is my main concern and I believe "adequate" cooling immediately upon death is the most important contributing factor to...

    Drop camp boundaries on public land?

    I have to say, BigAntlerGetter seems like a reasonable guy and represents his trade favorably. His demeanor is not what I have found to be common among other guides/outfitters I have spoken with. A few years ago, while researching a unit I was going to be hunting elk in, only one outfitter...

    Vapor Trails

    Very nice footage. The vapor trails are impressive, though not sure what causes them to be so pronounced in one video and not another. Can you share any other details? Bullets recovered? Exact placement of bullet strike? I have to assume those deer eat super well, judging from what they get to...

    Zeiss goes woke???

    I don't have any firsthand experience with Meopta but I have heard good things about them. I suppose a company with the breadth of Zeiss occasionally contracts smaller manufacturers to build inconsequential products for them. I honestly don't know why Zeiss continues to pursue the sporting...

    Zeiss goes woke???

    I personally can't stand the "woke" movement that we have been watching these last several years. Insofar as Zeiss is concerned, here are some facts that might explain their position (not necessarily excuse them)... Zeiss' business model likely receives less than 2% of their revenue from their...

    Watcha reading/listening to?

    "The Indispensables", by Patrick O'Donnell If American history is of interest, especially the Revolution.

    Berger Hybrids Hunter-Anybody have experience shooting Berger Hybrid Hunter for elk.

    Bull elk at 350 yds using Federal Premium factory ammo with 185 Hybrid Hunter bullets. Perfectly broadside, put it right in the pocket so nothing but ribs to go through. Bullet exited and bull dropped on the spot. The chest cavity had that "washing machine" slosh as we were breaking him down so...

    HAMMER Bullets Performance on Game

    I get your point. If a bullet doesn't consistently work on elk I have no use for it, personally.

    HAMMER Bullets Performance on Game

    "This" meaning what, exactly? I assume you are referencing NorCal's experience of not recovering a cow that was apparently struck from almost 500 yards with a less than ideal angle? And no mention of exactly where the bullet struck, because with no recovery there is no way to be certain of...

    HAMMER Bullets Performance on Game

    I prefer the meat-saver shot you describe as well, whenever possible. I believe most would agree shot placement is paramount, and the accuracy I have experienced with Hammers is pleasantly surprising as well, which obviously adds to ones ability to place shots in the field.. I too want to...

    Otherwise go for refund and spend that money elsewhere, as mentioned above.
