    Affordable cooler for a boned out elk?

    I’ve got by with a couple 120 qt Coleman’s but I don’t live far from where I generally hunt. Long about August I start saving milk jugs for cooler ice.

    Recommendations for best hot tent for 2 people plus gear?

    I used the 8 man tipi with xl stove for my son and I. By the time you get all your gear and wood in, it can get tight. Nice to have the extra room if you can handle the weight.

    Christmas Surprise! Plumbing Question

    If you have the time, fix it. If you suspect galvanic corrosion I would replace that stretch with another material, pvc or pex. Once you have your parts, make a pot of chili and fill you up a hunting jug of water and turn the house water off…. And go to work.

    How rare is a 200 inch mule deer

    In general they are exceptional. There are places you can go to find them with more regularity of course and others where they simply don’t exist. In places I have spent time in they are like pink unicorns.

    Elk hind quarter

    Marinade whole muscle, smoke, reverse sear, slice thin. That’s my method 99% of the time. Makes a mean sandwich too.

    Budget 1,000 Yard Rangefinders

    Thanks. I should mention I do want the unit to have angle compensation. I have an older Leica Rangemaster that works like new. Just doesn’t do angles. Leaning hard toward the vortex.

    Budget 1,000 Yard Rangefinders

    Looking for a couple rangefinders for my boys for Christmas. They currently have some cheaper Athlons that aren’t very reliable.

    Barnes TTSX vs Accubond

    I have seen first hand Barnes bullets that don’t create much damage when impacting soft tissue. I would choose an accubond over Barnes. That said, I’ve knocked over a bunch with both.

    Wyoming Mule Deer, what the answer?

    The insidious human/ environmental factors are a tough nut to crack. My money says you could do any of that with little effect… I hope I’m wrong.
