    Riflescope decisions

    Nightforce, rugged as hell great scope. Swarovski is amazing glass but as a hunting buddy told me once. I admire the animal with binoculars or a spotting scope. That is what the pretty glass is for. When shooting it I just need to see it and the crosshairs. I am curious about the new...

    Hornady CX vs Barnes LRX

    I have had hell trying to reload them. Accuracy was everywhere, but I got a box of Barnes in Factory ammo and they shot great. Used that box to get my length right. Now the Barnes are shooting well. I have yet to take an animal with either, the ELDX did great on a cow elk. They both...

    Stupid poll: Which rifle?

    The only difference really between many match and hunting bullets is some process for increased core retention on the hunting bullet. I blasted a cow ag point blank range and that increased retention did not hold up well. Cow died instantly and bullet worked fine. It would have been the same...

    What’s your ideal hunting truck?

    For years I ran around in a Dodge Ram 1500 Eco Diesel. It had a canopy and was set up for hunting. The most important thing. It rode on the highway like a dream. Throw a cot in the back and sleep great. Awesome rig plus mid 20s mpg was nice.

    Is getting a spotter at my budget a waste?

    Maven, that is some good glass. I have only used the 15 x 45. Wow great scope for the price. I know people will yell get a better scope. Well years ago people where stacking sheep wearing flannel and levis shooting open sights. Almost all reasonable glass today is better than the best...

    There are a lot of reviews from back packers already. Most like it but point out it is not new Zenbivy has been doing it longer. One complaint was zipper I think on the inside bag.

    What kind of skinning knife do you use and why?

    All I carry now in my kill kit as a knife is the small outdoor edge with 2 extra blades. I have not needed to change a blade, they all make it through a whole elk. I do the gutless method, then debone if I need to pack far. Over the years carried a lot of different knives. In my truck I keep...

    Eastern washington and oregon elk hunting.

    Eastern Oregon and Washington are not too bad. Depending on the year it can be hot. Water is key for you and the elk. I run trail runners and light pants with a lightweight long-sleeved shirt for sun protection. I think it is the KUIU Gila. If you can get there and scout before season it...

    Christiansen Arms VS Tikka VS Savage

    Bear meat??

    I would suggest, Bear Bacon. Then take the hams and turn them into pastrami or corned beef. I prefer pastrami as you smoke it after. The technique for both is really close. The salt cure brine has different seasonings but the brine is the same. I did a bunch and it vacuum packs great. The...

    Fierce Carbon Rogue

    No it is not luck. The majority are good rifles. It seems the problem is when there is a problem. When the rifle doesnt shoot well or is flawed. When that happens it seems the customer service is bad and accusatory.
