    onX hunt inaccurate property lines

    This is both disheartening and very disappointing to hear. As I recall, the main selling point I remember, from OnX , was that their product was specifically used to settle trespassing disputes by law enforcement. I have personally used OnX to hunt- navigate property lines very tight and am...

    the only way I would be passing on that bull is because I couldn't settle the sights while having a heart attack... Congrats!

    Tikka romance confessions wanted

    I put my first Tikka together in 2004 and haven't bought another make since. I have since sold 2 Weatherby's and T/C Encore's and Remington 700's. A 300 WSM and 7-08 for the wife covers all my bases. Hers is dressed up with a beautiful laminate Boyds stock and MT bottom metal for both. I still...

    Tikka romance confessions wanted

    I agree that the magnums can be a little abusive on a bench. I have a 300WSM and recently swapped out the stock recoil pad for a Limbsaver. I am absolutely impressed with how much it has helped. I never really bought into the idea that a pad could make that much difference and now I wish I had...

    Stop the wolf....

    Be careful, as you will be quickly accused of conspiratorial/tin-foil hat paranoia. It doesn't matter how simple and obvious the "end game' is for some; the majority will never see it until it is too late. And that is how the cliche "history repeats it's self" came to be. (And it wouldn't be a...

    Stop the wolf....

    I believe poison is actually the most effective means to reduce wolves numbers. Not that it matters as that will never see the light of day again...

    I appreciate your suggestion; which bullet in the Nosler Trophy Grade does your Tikka prefer? Thanks

    Federal factory load with Berger Bullet in a Tikka

    I am considering trying this factory load in a Tikka T3 300 WSM. https://www.federalpremium.com/rifle/premium-centerfire-rifle/berger-hybrid-hunter/11-P300WSMBCH1.html I have no experience with Berger bullets and thought maybe one of you fellows had tried this load in a Tikka. I have been...

    Lowa Tibet Split Rand

    Odd how a boot company with such a decent reputation cant seem to stick down the rand on their boots? Lowa boots really fit my feet well compared to others and if it were not for this fact I probably wouldn't deal with this particular shortcoming. But they are comfortable (for me) and keep my...

    Colorado 2nd Rifle How Y'all Doin

    I was dropping my kids off at school today, and noticed one of the other dad's wearing a CPW uniform. After introducing myself I began the usual interrogation; What units do you work? How have the harvest numbers been this year? What areas have been good/poor? Response... Southern part of state...

    Filled My Elk Tag

    May I humbly suggest a cast iron skillet, heated medium-low, generous dollop of butter melted in it right before the backstrap steaks meet it with salt and pepper. Steaks should be room temperature. And of course, at medium rare they come off the iron. Lastly, Congrats!

    Taking a break in middle of hunt?

    I have done just that, when I was younger. And regretted it when I didn't fill my tag. Maybe it is the fact that I have more hunting seasons behind me than I have in front of me, but every hour in the woods with the potential to score beats a mediocre meal at a diner. Any time. Funny how that...

    Lowa Tibet Split Rand

    You will find many suggestions on how to repair/reinforce a rand if you do a search. I used 3M Marine adhesive to reinforce and repair a few nicks on my Tibets shortly after buying them. The 3M takes several days to cure but that stuff has held up remarkably well for many miles in nasty country...

    The last thing in the world you will be thinking about when you are notching your tag is the cold you brought with you. Good luck, be safe.

    What's your worst mid-hunt equipment failure?

    Borrowed my grandfather's .270 WBY Mag for an elk hunt. I took off the Weaver K4 scope and slapped on a Simmons 3-9 figuring the added magnification was required. Sighted it in; good to go. Opening evening and I am laying on a granite slab at tree-line watching a herd file through an avalanche...

    What is the best glue to use on leather?

    I have used 3M Marine Adhesive to repair and extend a rand and that stuff is super durable. The only drawback is a lengthy cure time. I believe it was about 5 days if memory serves...

    Thor bullet results in elk camp CO

    Very true statement. I believe there is an inherent margin for error in all methods of take for elk and I personally believe that margin for error is the least with archery tackle, as far as elk are concerned. The ego-maniacs that shoot at elk with rifles at obscene ranges are a whole other...

    Thor bullet results in elk camp CO

    I have had the same thought cross my mind with regard to using archery tackle to hunt elk. One needs only surf YTube to watch numerous vids showcasing archery elk hunts where elk are hit and not recovered or meat is lost because the animal was not recovered in a timely fashion. But that's "ok...
