Does kuiu not make the guide beanie any more? That sounds like what it was. I find the 145 Merino one more than adequate and just wear the boonie or other hat over it for wind and sun protection or even rain.
Another user commented that it was the dyes they (Kuiu) use on the wool. Seems to be much worse when new than after a few wearings and washings. The wet sheep smell may be a good cover scent... Kuiu will not normally admit that their wool smells when wet, that would open the door to lots of...
Would be nice to have a vee notch on each end to rest see in. Butt the Fletch end against stop and in vee notch and other end in vee notch on top of cutter block centered on the cut off wheel with just enough wheel to cut through the wall thickness of shaft. Otherwise good idea and execution.
Fact is I'm sure they ran over the hill about 60yds and stopped because I heard then take off again after 10 minutes. Thinking I should have gone to their exit point to keep eyes on at least, might have had another shot.
You should be able to drive 2-3 days with chilled meat in coolers without issue. If meat is frozen then definitely no problem.
I remember years ago, like in the late 60's, an uncle flew up from Florida to visit. On the trip home his brothers and sisters loaded an American Tourister style hard...
I'm about ready to quit Archery, had nothing but bad luck it seems. The next day I went back in same area and walked up on elk at 20yds, stood and looked at me, a yearling cow, Spike, and 2.5yo cow and I just didn't shoot, or couldn't shoot I guess. Then they walked off.
Didn't see any arrow sticking out off side, no blood spot either. Shoulder blade seems most likely. Either way if he's dead he's rotten by now, or he lived and no worries.
Went in today and took another shot to check for deflection using my small game arrow, it flew straight and true and stick where the bull was standing. No deflection. Kinda frustrating.
I did, on Saturday. Saw arrow flying good, heard hit, like a pumpkin thump, he spun to his right and exit stage left with the rest over the edge of hill. I waited a few minutes called for help and started looking for blood. We never found any blood, wasn't raining, followed tracks all around for...
Bull elk, 42yds. Standing still and can only not see his rear quarter as the draw in shows. 90% clear between shooter and bull, only the tips of hemlock limbs at about 20yds partially blocking. No other elk interfering, a few to left about 10yds and 1 to right same distance.
Like the Oregon guy said, good time to be hunting, but I think elk will be in reprod, 10-15' tall trees so no falling limbs or trees or along the edge of same to feed.
By the time they determine the cause of the leak I assume the boot is pretty much disassembled so it's junk anyway. I sent back some Burris signature binoculars a few years ago, they had fogged up internally. They had a"FOREVER" warranty but they said were unrepairable, so they offered me a...
