    anyone have issues with the hamskea hybrid hunter having your arrow fall into the V ?

    Check every bolt. I had that problem last year and the one holding the ramp was loose. A little time with my allen wrench and all was well. Well, except that the elk were elusive again this year. Ugh

    25-06 and Elk

    A friend of mine's late father killed over 40 elk with a 250-3000 Savage. His bullet of choice was the 87 grain soft point. Some good 6x6 bulls, too. If he can do it, your 25-06 certainly can. Shot placement with good bullets is everything on elk.

    Blue fletching easy to see?

    What Wheels said: 2 pink, one white. Orange can look like some leaves as can yellow (aspen). Blue just disappears near dark.

    Cataracts

    Update: My cataract surgery was in 2010. Late last year, I was having trouble seeing my pins. The best description is that it was like someone smeared vasoline over my eye. The eye doctor told me that the lens is in a little bag, and the bag had become more opaque. Scheduled the surgery...

    Best 270 Win bullet for Elk

    I can't possibly tell you what the best is, as I only know what works for me. The chief guide Three Forks Ranch told me "partitions, Barnes or Swift A-Frames" many years ago. My experience, 130 or 150 partition, no difference out to at least 400. The 130 penetrated on an accidental quartering...

    243 for cow elk?

    Use a good bullet, hit the lungs and get our your knives. Elk are not hard to kill if hit well. Hit poorly, they will run for miles. Marksmanship is important with tenacious survivors.

    What to do after harvesting mountain lion

    Mountain lion makes a great Italian sausage. The steak I had was not to my liking but I didn't think it was properly prepared, much too tough.

    Favorite Boot?

    What EastWildwood said, in extra wide for my 9.5 4E width feet. Money well spent.

    7mm PRC recommendations

    Isn't the first question how you hunt and then, the rifle choice will make itself clear. If your shots are 400 yds or less, or you do a lot of spot and stalk..................

    intense elbow pain

    Go see your doctor. Getting medical advice on the internet for free suggests the information you get is worth less than what you paid for it.

    Back Up Binos Help

    I'd get some 8x30 or 8x32 binos. My 10x42 Kahles binos work for me farther than I typically want to walk. it's one thing to see them there, it's quite another to get there on foot before they've moved to another zip code......particularly on public land hunting.

    Best for packing elk out

    I can't say best. I can say a properly adjusted Kifaru frame is very, very, very good to take out as much as half an elk in one trip. I say that with some certainty, having used exclusively Kifaru since 1998. YMMV .

    $200 binos for my daughter

    Used Nikon 8x23 Venturers for $35 or so on Ebay. Excellent definition, low price. I have 2 pair for my 4x4s in the glovebox for both. I bought a pair for a young kid who was beginning to hunt. Used a similar pair for years.

    Bino help?

    Definition trumps magnification. Get the better 12x binos. You will not regret it.

    Quiet bino harness for bow hunting

    I use straps with a rectangular piece of fleece that covers the eyepiece or a Bino Bandit for the eyepiece. That works well enough, adds no noise and if any lenses get wet, I have a cleaning cloth with me as well. I don't like the bulk bino boxes that are popular now. And they can be hot in...
