First bull
I am guilty of passing on some cows and raggy bulls . One bull in particular looked somewhat sick. Another I drew my recurve and unconsciously must not have had my heart in it because I short drew and shot under his belly. At the moment I am going to drop the string on my first opportunity. You... -
Hiking Distance
No matter how far the initial hike in, you can always add a lot of miles on the hunt if you feel you can handle it. That way you are not painted into a corner regarding a pack out just by camp to trailhead distance. Also, packing an elk out solo if the terrain is difficult off trail (like... -
Nosler 150gr for Elk?
Not a bullit expert by any means but I shot nosler partitions and on animals they performed great. In my 308 I now shoot 165grn Federal coppers and been very pleased. I got away from lead once copper proved itself. I see no downside. My Mom was a nurse and we x-rayed a deer heart I shot in back... -
Bear Safety in the Rockies
And I appreciate the info. I see skill with a sidearm on par with trad archery- it takes dedication to become very good. I do not see a lot of folks putting the time in to master hot loads, which is at another level of mastery. Our lives are too busy. -
Bear Safety in the Rockies
I carry bear spray and don't have a problem with anyone who would rather carry a sidearm. But why is it that someone always seems to get defensive? And I am not pointing this at anyone in particular. I read very little where anyone is saying negative things about anyone who carries for bear... -
Hows Colorado Archery season been?
Love that photo. Awesome bull and in the timber. My favorite combination. -
Bear Safety in the Rockies
I understood they have the data to back up the claims that bear spray is more effective than guns because: bear kills guy after being killed but has enough left to rip his head off. Guy shoots thru bear kills buddy. Guy wounds bear. Guy misses bear kills buddy. Guy misses bear. These are... -

Cutthoat Broadheads
The bevel from the manufacturing process will have minor differences in true over its length. Its worth it to true this edge. 1) true the edge bevel using a course diamond stone. Take care to maintain the factory bevel. Run the bevel along its long axis back and forth so its fully supported... -

Hunting elk in windy conditions
Elk are not whitetails (paranoid) in that if pressure is light high winds will have the wiser ones setting themselves up for visual protection if they can but otherwise doing what elk do as usual. I think high wind psyches us out more than them. They deal with it all the time. The wind shifts... -
Camp set up. Where to camp in the back country
Well, to beat the dead tree horse a little deader: I have been near 3 dead tree falls. Two were wind events and not too close by, but one was about 20 feet away. No wind. Just BAM!!! I had the notion that you would have time to jump aside if one started to go and you heard it, but no effin way... -
Meat carrying day pack
I ran an Eberlestock X2 for years. I can quibble about some features but its tubular frame is money if you need to haul meat and as a daypack it was fine. Find them used sub $150.00 -
What would you do?
I have, several times. They are on walkabout, searching for cows. Often the bugles are quiet. You need to be within 75yds to hear them. They are not advertising as much as searching. -
Some thoughts on eberlestock bat wings
I can't fit my hand down into the external pouches. Too narrow. That pretty much killed the joy for me, having to dump them upside down to retrieve what was in there (don't ask). But yes, they offer some nice features. I just think they coulda designed the pockets with more thought behind them.
