    Irrational Foot Fear?

    Crispi gtx has kept my feet cactus and other massive thorns free for the last 5 years. Always tried to hunt in lighter boots and finally gave in for the reasons you mention.

    Will you kill an elk anywhere?

    Not so young anymore, but still plenty dumb. I’m still looking for that first elk, so wherever the moment allows, I plan to take the shot. having said that, if I can’t get in there, then I don’t shoot in there.

    Hornady 340gr .50cal ELD-X Bore Driver

    Agreed! It seems like the go to method for hornady lately is advertise something new and then it takes a year to hit shelves.

    What are the top factors determining where you live?

    20 years ago I would have said a high girl to guy ratio… Now it’s my wife, like I already said…

    ban on video taping hunts on public ground

    Agreed! Don’t ban it, find a way to make a law that makes the professional influencers owe royalties so at least the broke game agencies can get funding to help enforce that new law. Look at that…job creation.😁

    CO HB 23-1036 Lead bullet "trade in program"

    I’m sure some good idea fairy will tell them they have to destroy it. Cut each bullet in half. 🤣. It’s another excellent use of limited state funding.

    Matt Rinella Speaks to Pope and Young

    Excellent point. There hasn’t been many public land opportunities added since 1980 either. I don’t know the actual number, but I’d bet the total acres has decreased. maybe these game agencies should look for laws that force hunting professionals to pay royalties to that agency when using the...

    Isn’t that the truth about most states! One area gives the rest of the state a back wrap.

    Want to go caribou hunting someday before I die!

    Especially if Alaska doubles their tag prices again as they did before the 2017 season.

    Caliber for Daughter??

    Currently have an 11yr old shooting a 7-08 with a 120gr loaded at 2500fps. Shots limited to 200yds. 3 animals down so far, 1 shot each. I shoot that same 7-08 with a different stock and 162ELDx @2750.

    Caliber to pair with .300 RUM

    Pack weight: Does anyone actually care?
