    Tikka vs TC pro hunter

    I'm with Shrek on the Encores. I have one (not a Pro Hunter) with the muzzy barrel and have a 204 barrel. Put a different scope on it last weekend and resighted in. Damn, that thing can shoot. Versatility is great, but expensive by the time you buy the extra barrels and scope them up. I...

    Shrek's 6.5 saum build

    Now, Shrek, did he give you a discount if you did a glowing endorsement like that?:) Looking forward to pictures. Do you have all the goodies you need to put bullets down the tube? BTW, I did look at his site this morning after mtswampfox brought up the deal on the Dillon toolheads. Might...

    Shrek's 6.5 saum build

    Shrek, you need to get one of those rifles done. .. and damn soon. The clock is ticking.... Your truck will be heading west sooner than you know it. Is the 7WSM ready to hunt if the 6.5 doesn't come together? Projects are fun, but hunting is more fun. Got my 25-06 sighted on Saturday...

    Archery Elk Outfitter

    Lots of different options when you go that route. Depending on whether they want to play the draw game or get guaranteed tags (landowner generally) and what their budget is is going to impact what state(s) to recommend. If they are sensitive to elevation and climbing, that may make a...

    Alaska Mtn Goat Bow Hunt Report

    Sorry you didn't get the goat, but that is why we call it hunting. The water crossings looked a little tricky. Don't want to lose your footing during those crossings.

    Sage Grouse and ESA

    I'm not here to argue about BGF. If hunters would be willing to step up to the plate the way nonhunters (or the uninformed) do, then Utah, etc wouldn't need to support these efforts. Don't kid yourself, BGF does much more than online petitions. All this is is an easy way for the hunting...

    Elkmania 2014

    Nothing better than elk in the rut. Just sends chills down my spine thinking about it. Good luck with getting something down.

    Sage Grouse and ESA

    I received the following BGF email about the proposed land grab, etc. with a potential listing of sage grouse under the ESA. This would not affect just grouse, but livelihoods and other hunting and access. I was expecting Robby to post this but he is in the backcountry and hadn't gotten the...

    Homemade Larabar recipes

    I did a Google search on RS and didn't find anything on point other than Ray mentioning that he does this. Anyway, my CrossFit gym is doing the Lurong Paleo Challenge for the next 8 weeks and this is one of the foods I would like to look into. Also, the time period will include my trip to...

    The Risks We Take

    I have not shared all the details with my wife of some of the fine points of extra risk that I have experienced on hunting trips. Frankly, she knows the hunts are subject to risk and I don't want to give her more reasons to be concerned. The best things that I can do is to be physically and...

    Staying focused on elk while missing your family

    I'm more impressed that you are leaving with your wife being 8 months pregnant. My daughter was only around 3 when I started hunting out west on extended trips. My wife tells me that she acted up every time for several years. Yes, I miss them, but hunting is a priority to me as well as my...

    Ouch! What kind of boots and how long had you had them?

    Annealing options

    Needing some help on picking out an annealing setup. My FIL does the "heat and tip" method which works but I'm not inclined to go that route. I really like the Bench Source setup, but don't necessarily like the price (will go this route if something of better value doesn't show up). Does...

    Ron's wife - when to worry?

    My wife and I worked through this issue many years ago when I was going on a sheep hunt in BC. I fully expected that I would have no way to communicate with her and she understood that there was no need to really try or worry as it wasn't going to make a difference. I gave her a contact...
