    How do you remain calm with overcrowding?

    It's better than not hunting elk.

    Sure I could use my 7rm for everything but the 25-06 is a sweetie for antelope and open plains doe tags

    Elk are as real as Big Foot

    Moose like bogs and creeks and watery stuff. Roads/trails are near creeks and bogs and watery stuff. Elk are very real, just take a drive through RMNP. You'll see so many pet elk. Elk like to graze. Drive any big valley with large cattle ranches and giant hay fields in the winter when the elk...

    Bugle Report

    Got out Sunday/Monday in Northern Colorado. Had bugling at night and in the mornings. Coaxed a bull into 80yds but he hung up, glunked for a few then took his cows and left.

    Bugle Report

    Had a couple bulls bugling in my basin Saturday night and Sunday morning/evening. One other hunter in there blowing cruddy mid-day bugles. Couldn't hear anything Monday due to the high winds. Colorado OTC

    Any New ideas for backpacking food/snacks?

    Tortillas, Justin's honey almond butter squeeze packs and pre-cooked bacon. Easy calories and honey won't leak into pack.

    Car Fix Pricing

    At that mileage I would grab a cat off Rockauto and have an exhaust shop replace it. Keep an eye on oil level and run until it dies. Save the money you'd spend repairing the oil consumption issue for a down payment on the next vehicle. Spending anything over 40% of the value of a vehicle on...

    Subaru durability

    Good year model. Timing belt due at 10yr/105k miles. Known issues are head gasket failure(either leaking oil or exhaust gas into coolant jacket) and oil control valve failure from dirty oil(change every 3,000-3,500 miles). Otherwise, don't see any common issues worth noting.

    Subaru durability

    I know my way around Subarus. Generally best years are 2015-19. The ones that are consuming oil are usually 2011.5-14 model years with 1st generation timing chain engines. Piston/ring design in those engines could lead to excessive consumption over time. Issue was corrected in 2015-later models...

    Newish Fly Reels

    Wouldn't hesitate to go Lamson, have had very good luck with their reels from the inexpensive 3/4wt tout stuff to large arbor salt reels. Idaho company so they see plenty of use on steelies

    Almost ready to hit the mountains - how's the gear list coming along?

    Wouldn't bother with gaiters for archery. Won't go without them in late season snow. I prefer the stone glacier gaiters over the kenetreks, though my buddy wore kenetreks on our 4th season hunt and they did fine for him.

    Looking for a wagon, commuting and road trips

    I haven't really found any correlation between allowing the car to warm up and less head gasket failures but that's also not a question I've been asking folks. Most consumers wouldn't admit to that anyway, rather blame the product(which is know to have the issue). I really only feel that driving...

    Looking for a wagon, commuting and road trips

    I like them. They're not hot rods by any stretch but I see plenty make is past 300k with few issues. Head gaskets aren't nearly as bad about failures as the 2.5L. They're leaky: rear main seals, valve cover gaskets and cam seals can all leak. Best defense is drive it often and change oil every...
