    Arrow advice for elk

    I am running 28.5 inches of camo easton axis 340's with 100 gr tips and blew right through an elk for a complete pass through. I was using 100 gr Muzzy's at the time but now am running VPA non vented 100's. 65 lb draw weight out of a 2002 Hoyt Cybertech. I think my total arrow weight was 429...

    Running shots

    Yes, a couple of things. First off most hunters stop the gun when they shoot. You will shoot behind them every time. Learn to stay in front of the target and have barrel traveling at same speed and get in front and slowly squeeze off your round. Look for inpact and KY wind-age adjust. Your...

    Best occupation for outdoorsman

    Not what I do. I manage a National Recruiting team and I gotta tell you, even after being in the industry for over 20 years I have the same vacation time as someone just out of school. 3 weeks of PTO. I can carry one over. No flex time, long hours. It pays good and I do enjoy helping...

    kids and shoot through mesh windows

    No, the mesh wont affect his arrow flight but I would have him practice shooting through the blind with and without the mesh. If this is his first blind he will need to get used to how to draw in the blind and shooting from a sitting or kneeling position as well. He will enjoy it actually...

    Help upgrade my bow sight

    I went with a Black Gold Rush at just over $100.00 and love it! The pins are very visible in all legal shooting light. If you hunt in a ground blind, get the blind man attachment. I have a 5 pin. My 50 and 65 yard pins are smaller diameter. I have had no issues with this site at all. It is...

    Rem 700BDL 300 Win Mag vs Tikka T3 300 Short Mag

    I dont think I could buy both and do not plan on hunting with a wood stock. The Tikka is factory composite. The Rem I think is wood and I would need to replace. I would likely also replace the Tikka to a better quality stock as well but not sure. I would likely due upgrades to both. I am...

    Rem 700BDL 300 Win Mag vs Tikka T3 300 Short Mag

    Thoughts? Both used. I have one on hold but the same dealer just got the Remington in and said I could have either one. Cost is the same. I have not seem the Remington yet.

    Front Range Birds

    I just go to wherever the birds are. If they are 100 yards from where I park or 5 miles. I have witnessed more than my fair share of Toms walking right by my parked truck while I am on the other end of the field. I have waded across chest deep water with wallet in mouth and gun above my head...

    Broke my stock!!!!

    Actually your being in MT is not that big of a deal for a stock passed down from family. Stocks are not that expensive to ship.

    Cross country drive for elk...Mini-Van?

    We always drove straight through. Mtn dew helps! Best part of night driving on the interstate is that if you gotta take a leak, just stop and take a leak. No nead to pull over. Your the only one on the road!

    plantar fasciitis

    I had it a year ago and man, it sucks. I got it at all times during the hunting season and to make matte worse I got tripped up on a branch under the leaves and planted my foot to stop the fall and felt my foot pop. I should have just fell. I didnt go see the doc as it was going to take weeks...

    What killed this elk?

    I would think any predator kill should show signs of the attack. Hair missing, bloodied rear end. If that was the final resting place of the attack that ground would be trampled with blood everywhere. Based on that photo, human scum bag.

    ZEN RAY Prime HD vs Vortex Viper HD

    Wished I had a side by side I could do for ya but I got the Zen Rays and like them. I havent had to use Customer Service on them. Way better than the Nikons I replaced with them. By the way, Nikon has excellent customer service, I know, I had to use it about every year. You think hunting big...

    Cross country drive for elk...Mini-Van?

    If I was going to rent a vehicle for a 24 hour drive, I would opt for a long wheel base vehicle as it will give you a much better ride. I would easily take a pickup or full size conversion van over a mini van. I also do like suburbans for long runs. I have made several 20+ hour drives, mostly...

    Best state (lower 48) to own hunting land

    I would not go to a state where I can only hunt a couple of species. I would opt for the mountains as well where there is a variety of big game. I like that alfalfa field idea too as I am sure not only big game but possible pulling some waterfowl in. Proper land management could get you a...

    Seahawks awesome game

    I too say way to stay classy Seahawks. I always like a smart defense minded team. Having said that the lack of class at the end of the game has kind of put my feeling toward the Seahawks right there with the Saints. Fantastic game at least.

    280ai or 308win for both 600 yard deer and bear?

    Luke has a great point and is more experience. I just would not want to be under gunned when hunting a critter that can eat me;)

    Deer Chops

    Chops are my favorite! I process my own deer and make chops a lot bigger than most due. Mini Prime Ribs! I marinade with Montreal steak 15 minute marinade but leave it on there3 longer. I grill or broil to medium rare and serve with Bearnaise sauce. I use Kerr Brand, easy and tasty. My...
