    Archery Colorado GMU 53

    well in that case, unit 53 clearly isn't working out for you. you already have the unit, a way in and a horse so what do you expect to get here? the elk will be standing by the 60' tree.

    Help with a .308 load

    here's the one thing I notice that you are doing. you are trying to stay near max for a given powder/bullet. if you had signs at 43 gn with tac then only going to 42 may not be enough. same with varget, you stayed high. it seems like you're chasing velocity, which isn't a good idea with a 16"...

    Issues with hiring a plumber

    I can't believe no one said anything about it taking 2 guys 8 hrs to hook up 3 vanities. that's 16 hours worth of work. that plumber would have been fired long before that. they spent too much time testing the toilet plumbing, did you check the fridge when you got home ?

    Safety redundancy, plans.

    my survival kit contains 4 things, knife, space blanket, duct tape and compass. I've accepted long ago that you can't plan for everything. all the communication in the world will not help if you're unconscious, and if I'm awake I'm fighting. in my opinion, anyone who plans on going out in...

    Help with a .308 load

    velocity can be important to look at also. in this case the OP has a good load in a sense, its FGM. duplicating a load is a little different than working a load from scratch. if FGM is showing say 2600 fps but your load with varget only gets 2500 with pressure signs then there are only 2...

    National Forest Camping Ethics

    the actual definition of ethics is in fact the morality. you should know this if you're going to tell people they are wrong for having morals.

    National Forest Camping Ethics

    @sndmn11, the OP asked for an opinion on a moral situation, that's it. it wasn't a discussion on the legality of it as he already knew it was legal. like you said, my morals are mine and yours are yours, so respect that. I am not trying to impose anything on you, you have been leading the...

    National Forest Camping Ethics

    let me give 2 scenarios that relate to this thread. 1) there is traffic on the highway because a lane ends, everyone is moving over but one guy feels he doesn't need to be there, so he jumps in the lane that's ending and cuts in front of everyone else. is it legal? yes. is he a dick? 1000% 2)...

    National Forest Camping Ethics

    this thread was about morals, not legality. just because something is legal doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.

    National Forest Camping Ethics

    it should matter to you. do you feel you are the same as the guy doing it out of spite? 14 days of camping is 14 days of CAMPING. not 14 days of "maybe ill hunt this spot one of these days".

    National Forest Camping Ethics

    all of this comes down to optics, and the fact that while some guys may be genuine, there are more guys doing this just to be ass turkeys. we do not know who is who, so the old saying of one bad apple spoils the bunch applies here. I see the same campers and tents every year in the same...

    National Forest Camping Ethics

    I mean, I did clearly say that I don't understand it lol, thanks for the clarification. that is the way I see it, and if there is no explanation otherwise, then I have no reason to believe otherwise.

    you were the last one to see said LBC's alive, can you tell me what you were doing on the night in question? lol

    National Forest Camping Ethics

    I beg to differ. if you need to set up a camp that gives you all the amenities of home then you are not built for the wilderness. I see no point in needing to come from a camp to a different camp to recover from camping lol. I'm only giving my perspective and why I don't understand it, everyone...

    National Forest Camping Ethics

    I agree, there's no real difference other than one being a part of hunting and the other being staking claim before its time. I always felt 2 days prior is reasonable, that gives people time to get out there but blocks the guys who aren't serious. other than that, I personally never...

    Help with a .308 load

    a chrono will tell you a lot about why you're not grouping well and if a certain powder is worth using. if FGM is what you want to duplicate then chrono it so you have a baseline.

    National Forest Camping Ethics

    explain the thinking on this for me. what is the point of setting camp then going to a hotel for a few nights? if you have a camp, why not just camp and save the money? why not just show up 2 days prior, set camp, get acclimated and go hunt? same thinking applies to spike camping. if you're...
