    .50 cal muzzleloader bullet to bore vs sabot

    No sabots allowed for CO elk. I really like the Barnes TEZ sabots, but I also want to hunt elk so trying out Thor and Federal Trophy Copper. Out of my CVA they all shoot pretty close to the same—tight groups at 100 yards!

    Never boiling whitetail skull again

    The deadheads I find I just leave in a bucket of water for a few weeks in the summer heat—you’d be amazed at how well this works. I flush it once or twice.

    Running Shoes

    I only wear ASICS Kayano, and I supplement with Superfeet green once they’re halfway through life. These have solved my knee problems. Also, replace shoes every 350-400 miles.

    In your experience, where are the biggest, most rugged mountains?

    WSJ article on CWD

CWD rates are climbing and we have deer dying from it. Lots of misinformation posted here from people that haven’t witnessed...

    Thor bullet results in elk camp CO

    I tried the Thor .500 300s in my CVA Optima. They shoot great but they’re so dang hard to load I’m worried about being out in the mountains and ending up with a broken ramrod or a bullet stuck 1/2 way down my barrel. Some days they load fine, other days they just refuse to load…probably going to...
