    NPS threatening to close 20 million acres in Alaska to some types of hunting

    Let's keep the comments pleasant. The discussion I think I started was should the govt (fed, state, local) be reducing hunting opportunities?. I would prefer they didn't.

    Re zero after traveling

    I normally have the members of my camp do a last minute verification also. We put in a lot of effort to find the elk. It's nice that you are confident in your setup.

    NPS threatening to close 20 million acres in Alaska to some types of hunting

    I understand your frustration. but, if I try to get a moose tag here in Utah it's years of points, and then a once in a lifetime tag. I can buy a moose tag every year in Alaska. Even though I've never hunted moose there, I wouldn't mind. Even though I may never hunt the area that the NPS is...

    NPS threatening to close 20 million acres in Alaska to some types of hunting

    That would be nice. I don't know that I plan on ever hunting that territory, but it would be a shame for it to be taken away. Of course, a random presidential directive (the new way of making laws in the U.S.) could take it away with the swipe of a pen.

    Re zero after traveling

    We've gone off the original discussion a bit. The question was if the zero of a rifle should be verified after travelling. I think now we are discussing more verifying your dope when you get to your hunting environment (altitude, temp, humidity, etc).

    all true. spin drift and wind drift will affect the flight.

    Re zero after traveling

    I agree. Or at least I did before last season. It took me almost a box of shells to drop a broadside elk at 600 yards. Only 3 bullets hit, and not where I was aiming. I learned later that my suppressor had failed and every bullet was getting a baffle strike, sending it who knows where. Now...

    Concur. I've been a life member of SCI for over 30 years. They focus on pro hunting legislation at the local, state, federal and international level. (Think possible U.N. restrictions on small arms that could prevent you from taking your hunting rifle over national borders.)

    You verify it by shooting. Important long range that you sight in North or South due to Eotvos effect. The wind will affect left/right (3/9 error), so I ignore that. I'm interested in drop, or 6/12 error. 3, 6, 9 and 12 are the clock portions on the target .

    Strange how the federal govt controls so much land out west.

    Adjusted for elevation. I sight in at 6K'. I have different #'s for 10K'. It varied from the 10K' numbers. But, .5 MOA at 800 yards is only 4". You still get a dead elk.

    NPS threatening to close 20 million acres in Alaska to some types of hunting

    Concur. 13.2 million acres were taken from Alaska in 1980 when Wrangel-St. Elias park was formed. How much more federal land grab will occur?

    NPS threatening to close 20 million acres in Alaska to some types of hunting

    The National Park Service (NPS) is currently accepting public comment on a proposed rule that would override state law and prohibit certain state-authorized hunting on approximately 20 million acres of National Preserves in Alaska. The NPS proposed rule is based on bogus concerns about public...

    when you put it on the stick next to the hole, will the unfurl direction be over the top or under the bottom??

    Glacier National Park

    I grew up in Kalispell and we'd go into the Park to fish and climb. I remember being at the top of Logan Pass at the visitor's center and climbing up Mt. Reynolds for the morning. We bumped into a mtn. goat halfway up and he wouldn't yield the trail, so we just sat there looking at him for 30...

    Kalispell/Flathead Valley Meet-up

    I grew up in Kalispell, but then moved to points unknown. I wish I were still up there climbing in the Park each summer and heading into the 'bob for some elk. We used to hunt Big Creek on the backside of Big Mountain. Sorry I can't join you.

    Best scope around $450??

    I'm also a fan of low profile turrets for a hunting scope. At the range the turret profile doesn't matter, but when pulling a rifle out of a scabbard the tall turrets get in the way.
