    FINALLY!!! Tikka Left Handed 223's

    Wonder if there’s a time component as well. I would think they’d want to place one order of 60 rather than pulling the trigger at 50 and adding a second order.

    Custom mini Canadian belt knife

    @Slalomnorth I guess I didn’t know how custom custom was. Sending a PM as I’d also like the “perfect” CBK. To complete our hijack of elpollo’s thread I’ve got a few pictures that describe my complaints with the Yukon. Grip I use in the body cavity. I’d like a shorter blade length to get my...

    Custom mini Canadian belt knife

    I agree with the continuous belly/sweep on the blade. maybe drop the point a touch more to be a bit pointier for detail work and keep the tip out of the way making the initial/opening hide cuts. @Lawnboi any wishes for a longer blade. Also interested in your thoughts in the "heel" area. Do you...

    Custom mini Canadian belt knife

    I'm on the hunt for the perfect CBK knife. I'm currently using a KOA Yukon #2 and think it's 90% there. I've used it to quarter 1.25 elk, 2 whitetail, and gut one whitetail. I loved it overall but had two complaints. I was worried my thumb might ride onto the blade when I had it flipped over...

    Netherman's 2024 Western Hunt Recap

    Trip and Gear Report Trip Thoughts: I was in a much better headspace on this hunt. I’d been playing with the kids more and easing up on the task list and go go go mentality. Even though we got two bulls in two days I think not getting a tag for myself was a good choice. We probably could have...

    Netherman's 2024 Western Hunt Recap

    Day 4 Up at 4 again and much grumpier than the night before my brother and I gingerly began our climb up to the elk. We were a bit more efficient this time having hiked thru twice and arrived with 30 minutes before daylight. We picked a spot on the edge of the timber that had our wind falling...

    Netherman's 2024 Western Hunt Recap

    Day 3 Up at 4, me and my friend began our hike in. Our hike had it all. Deadfall, thick aspen, scree, and of course steep. Up at the top we waited for daylight to peek above treeline. As pink filled the sky we began creeping around. The “brown stuff” we’d seen the elk in wasn’t ankle high...

    2024 CO Elk Day 0/1 Started the drive later in the day after work and seeing the kids. After the long but uneventful drive we made it to our destination around 5pm. We met my brother and his friend who would be joining us for the weekend and got to glassing. I visited my brother over the...

    Netherman's 2024 Western Hunt Recap

    Trip and Gear Report Trip Thoughts: This was a tough hunt for me mentally. I wanted to quit and go home to see the kids every day. I’d been travelling a lot for work and had a lot of home projects going that limited my time spent playing with the kids. Having the three-year-old negotiating with...

    Netherman's 2024 Western Hunt Recap

    Day 9 Last morning before heading home. We didn’t hear much for bugles but had a decent idea where the elk were headed at this point. We were behind them again, but they made it to private before first light. We called at the line for a bit but only got the occasional response. The morning...

    Netherman's 2024 Western Hunt Recap

    Day 8 We woke up to bugles again. Chasing them the previous days we decided to try and get in front of them. We hiked a big loop to get out in front of them, but the wind wasn’t great. We heard two groups bugling and had to decide which to go after. The wind wasn’t ideal for either, but there...

    Day 7 Another 5am wakeup call cut short with semi wild horses chewing our coolers. They seemed tame and let us pet them. Not sure if they were looking for food, water, or just plastic to chew as they were also interested in our water jugs. One had a swollen ankle and wouldn’t put weight on it...

    Day 6 Bugles woke me up at 2am all around the truck. Might not have to make the long walk if they were on our door step… By 5am we were up and still hearing bugles. We loaded up with water and got to hiking. We spent the rest of the morning chasing after them but never got close enough or...

    Day 5 With the drive around we were going to lose the morning hunt, so we decided to hit wally world and resupply. I couldn’t believe how fast we were going thru water but had tapped all our bottles and 7-8 gallons of our 10gal stash in 4 days of scouting and hunting. Not sure if we should...

    Netherman's 2024 Western Hunt Recap

    Day 4 Opening morning had us up in the cool dark again. We were closer to the canyon but had a steep ridge to climb to get into it. We went up a drain as it had the most spacing of topo lines. On our way up we found a lot of bear shit and what were presumably bear beds in thick patches. “at...
