    Rope!!!

    I always carry 50' of mule tape, easy to tie and untie. Several outfitters I hunt elk with love it for tying supplies or elk quarters to their horses.

    Scouting Help/Hunting Tactics - Found the bulls, now what?

    If your in Colorado odds are somebody else has seen them also. If your talking archery I'd try and keep track of them through the summer and if they remain in the same place consistently I'd formulate a plan for early archery season. Other than the first week or so they will break up and look...

    Archery Pronghorn

    I have many times over the years sat all day at waterholes for antelope. The heat does become oppressive if its sunny and hot. Thing is that's what you need to get antelope to water consistently. Plenty of cold water is what gets me through. Both drinking it and dumping some down my back. Unless...

    Ennis MT Fishing Guided Float Trip

    I spend my summer in Ennis fly fishing the Madison and many other rivers . Salmonfly hatch on the Madison river is really a hit or miss . Some years there are loads of the big bugs and other years not so much. Unless there are plenty of salmonflies on the water the fish seem to ignore them. The...

    Looking for Maine Black Bear info

    Several years ago myself and 3 friends hunted with Laney's guide service out of Grand Lake Stream, Maine. We hunted over bait and we all killed a bear the first night of the hunt.

    7mm PRC handload

    Let your rifle decide what ammo it prefers. I tried the Hornady 175 ELD-X and it showed signs of pressure and was not accurate. Switched to the Federal 175 ELD-X and had no pressure and MOA accuracy. Federal also has the 170 Terminal Ascent in 7PRC. If your rifle shoots the 170 Terminal Ascent...

    Reload or factory ammo?

    I reload for many of the rifle calibers I have, but on occasion if I find a factory round that is an under MOA shooter and is readily available I don't bother reloading. As stated on other posts the cost of components and limited availability of many powders and primers it's almost a wash...

    Tikka T3x Roughtech 300 win mag

    The Federal 200 gr. Terminal Ascent do .5 moa in my Tikka Roughtech 300 win mag. I have tried several 180-200 gr. factory offerings and have not had anything that was as bad as 3" @ 100. I believe the specs on the Tikka Roughtech are a 1/10 twist. I have a load with H1000 and 180 gr. Nosler...

    I know I know

    Had a large crack in a chainsaw gas tank. Cleaned it up and applied JB Weld and it never leaked again. I use JB Weld on a lot of stuff and it's never left me down.
