    Education on Kahles 525i please

    What elevation and temp did your buddy have that turret engraved for? My guess is what it was engraved for does not match the location for where it’s being shot. 525 yds at 6,000ft and 50 degrees is not the same as 1,000 ft and 70 degrees or 10,000 ft and 20 degrees. Unless shooting at that...

    Bear shot placement- vitals vs anchor

    I have shared this before….. Here is the carcass of my 2021 fall black bear, just shy of 8’ squared. If you take the two red dots as being just inside the legs then the red hashed line transecting the body is the “MIDDLE” of the bears body. Now take the middle of the bears body from left to...

    Things you have noticed in the gym

    Had a 50ish year old meat head bro (if that’s even possible at that age) doing a leg press sled with probably over 700lbs of weight on it, Moments later there was a loud crashing sound. Looked over. The sled had come all the way down onto him. The dude was blue as could be and not moving...

    Exo Mountain K4?

    Just got back from an abruptly ended elk hunt due to electrical issues on my truck. I have the 2200. The bag itself is bombproof, well-constructed and has a streamlined slim contour to it. I love the bag. The one negative, which I have seen mentioned many a time before but hadn't...

    In What Order Should I Buy Gear?

    I absolutely would not buy my backpack, sleeping bag nor tent at a Cabelas or Sportsman’s Warehouse. Probably not my boots either. They don’t carry the best options IMO. Everything else could definitely be bought there I.e. all optics, ammo, lights, electronics, knife etc. Don’t need camo...

    Dealer Included Lifetime Powertrain Warranties

    As mentioned above…….read the FINE PRINT. If it’s not an actual manufacturer warranty, which most of these Lifetime Powertrain Warranties ARE NOT, but rather 3rd party warranties, zero chance I would even consider it. Everything is spelled out to the nth degree on how it has to be handled...

    Snack bars, healthy eats on a hunt?

    ProBars……it’s one of, if not the best calorie/ounce bar made. Gluten free. Non dairy. 100% plant based. 400 calories, 43g carbs, 19 g sugar, 11 G protein. If you are truly hiking/backpack hunting….where you are exerting a lot of energy and burning a lot of calories, your biggest concern...

    Rain pants

    Here is your answer. Well written sir. Your mountaineering/expedition companies are going to care about performance over quietness all day everyday. So, while they are a better performing pant in the sense of repelling water and being more durable, they will undoubtedly be the loudest thing...

    Toe Numbness

    This is not medical advice, so take it with a grain of salt. That's a classic symptom of compression of the dorsal branch of the superficial fibular nerve to the big toe. It only innervates the medial and tip of the toe. The compression is occurring after this digital nerve to the big toe...

    Toe Numbness

    Thunder Chicken.... which part of your big toe is numb? You said front and around the side. Which side? Medial side or lateral side? And when you say "front" do you mean the tip of the toe or the top where the nail bed is.? Any part of the bottom of the big toe numb as well?

    Argali Knives?

    I have the Carbon and it’s been nothing but exceptional. I have been able to skin and quarter multiple bull elk without concerns of a dull knife edge. Also, skinned and quartered half of my Alaskan moose with it (guide did the other half) and never had an issue. I always resharpened the blade...

    Audad Sheep Hunt -Desert Safaris texas - Sketchy Situation

    I will second Mike McKinney at Weat Texas Hunt Org. I used him on my aoudad hunt. Zero complaints. He came highly highly recommended, and I wouldn’t recommend. anyone look else where. Probably one of the best outfitters for Aoudad IMO. Texas Hunting Forum.com can support those claims.

    bullet selection for mountain goat

    My only goat was a couple of years ago. Early November hunt. The original plan was to take a 6.5 PRC with hand loaded Berger 156 EOLs, but my gunsmith wasn’t able to get it done in time. So instead, I took my 28 Nosler and hand loaded Berger 195 EOLs. If memory serves me it was around a 45...

    Recommendations for guided moose hunt - looking for 70 inch moose

    You could just as easily re-label the Sheep Clubs "<1% Club" to define those that have harvested a >70" moose. I don't have the exact statistics but it's an extremely small percentage. They are out there though. I am part of "the club" however the other 4 on my hunt never harvested a moose...

    Shipping Antlers

    January of 2020, I had Knights Taxidermy in Anchorage crate and ship my intact moose skull with 76" spread antlers to my Taxi in Texas. It cost $707.11 back then. I would guess it's probably just over a $1,000 now to do the same.

    Counter tops?

    Quartz slabs where I am run $1,400-1,800. Maybe a little more or less depending on the “specialnesses” of it. That’s not including install, just the raw slab.
