According to that calculator I should have a stable bullet. It’s on the lower end of the acceptable range but still in the green. I guess if all else fails and it’s not working out I could find a 90gr bullet. Thanks everyone

Good point…it’s a wilderness area so no cattle but I didn’t think about other critters going through it at night. Granted, it would be a smaller corral set up but that would still be pretty lame, especially if it didn’t wake you up when it happened haha

I have a Remington 700 sps in .243 that I bought about 10 years ago for a coyote gun. It must’ve been the last good rifle Remington built because with factory 95 grain hornady SST’s it shoots sub 1” groups all day long. Instead of buying a new rifle for deer/elk I was thinking about building...
I’ve been to the place I plan on going to before in early/mid October and there was still a good amount of grass for grazing. The amount of time it takes for them to graze is why I was leaning towards a portable electric fence set up. Would only take a few minutes to move it every evening and...
Thanks everybody for the input, I appreciate it. Looks like I’ll be investing in some soft sided lightweight meat panniers to throw on my riding saddle to take some weight off my pack horse. Gonna do plenty of research since I’ve got 10 months to prep.
Last question would be on supplemental...
Thanks for the information, I appreciate it. So the panniers that you have that can be used on your riding saddle, do you just fold them up and keep them on your pack horse until you need them?

A brief backstory. In 2019 a buddy and myself got the hairbrained idea to do a pack in horseback hunt in the Frank in early October and what a disaster. The majority of the wrecks were my fault, I didn’t do much pack horse training throughout the summer. I borrowed a solid mountain horse to ride...
Oh man, I’ve seen this team roping so many times. Guys rope a steer and the rope ends up under their horse’s tail. In a panic they undally and the rope burn begins. When the knot at the end of the rope goes under the tail at high speed is usually when it turns into a full on saddle
Bronc event...
Maybe it’s just me but I always put the loop of a lariat around the saddle horn and up under their tail, while I hold the coils and send them round and round in the round pen. I can tighten it a bit by tugging on the coils and eventually they’ll learn to relax their tail so the rope falls down...
There’s this very heavy set girl, maybe early 20’s who showed up last year right after New Year’s. Now I’m all for unhealthy people trying to get healthy but I wanted to karate chop this chick in the jugular on a daily basis.
She had a different t shirt for every day of the week (that was...
A few points additional points OP has made that also make no sense.
You say horses are an exotic species and should not be allowed. -False. Not only are wild horses common in most western states, the origin of horses from the Paleolithic era is in North America. So not only are wild horses...
