    Bipod or Hunting Pack

    I have this as well as a spartan bipod that I carry under my bino harness in a carrier with molle straps. Comes right out easily and magnetically attaches to the rifle. So easy and convenient. Use my pack too. Just nice to have as many tools as you can. I will say, I am pretty solid off the...

    Colorado Deer GMU recommendation

    Hey I only had to wait 9 years for my 125" buck :) , then right over the hill in a 2 pt unit, guys killed a really nice buck on opening day. We hiked the same ridge getting to our spots.... Deer are everywhere! To be fair, we are mostly elk hunters and only built points for something to do...

    Weight Loss For Hunting in 2024

    Good deal, Ive done both as well. Some people just have a few problems adjusting to the super low carb intake and paleo kind of eases you into it.

    Weight Loss For Hunting in 2024

    Might look at paleo before going fully keto. Still lets you have a moderate level of carbs, but stay away from processed foods and seed oils. That said, I had a rough week. Got plenty of exercise(80 miles on the bike), but diet sucked. Still down 10 lbs but need to get after it this week...

    Venture Divide 2000 vs 3000

    I bought the 2k just for this. It has plenty of room for me. I use it scouting and TAC too. The divide pocket is perfect for tripod with spotter/bino's attached. It expands well. Ive done 2 day work trips with it alone.

    Tikka vs Seekins 7 PRC - build help

    I love my Seekins, best rifle I have owned to date. Im sure the tikka's perform well. I just hate how the action looks. I know that is stupid, but I cant get over it. Maybe I will someday :)

    Rifle for elk hunting

    300wm here. I have a 1903 (30-06) Springfield that my grandfather sporterized that I would love to take out at some point. It still shoots really well for being 80 years old

    Weight Loss For Hunting in 2024

    No reason you have to be bland. Fruits, esp berries are a great way to spice it up. Sure they promote an insulin spike, but they have lots of other benefits. Try different seasonings on your meat, lots of different flavors of balsamic for salads, Shoot, seems like my salads end up being all...

    Weight Loss For Hunting in 2024

    You know you think about it, previous generations did just that, the old meat and potatoes meal right? Just a few simple ingredients, right out of the garden and or the pasture. Even just 50 or 60 years ago, we as a culture were doing this and we had way fewer obesity issues. I try and...

    Weight Loss For Hunting in 2024

    A little late to this thread but have been on "diet" threads here before. I really ballooned up after my CO deer hunt last fall and am just now back at that weight. I was way heavy for that anyway. Goal is to drop another 40 lbs, which I am mostly on track for. Down 20 lbs since Jan 15...

    BBQ Grills

    FWIW, I bought a pretty cheap Masterbuilt gravity feed charcoal grill several years ago. It's not the best quality but it is damn fast and can smoke from 150 degrees to sear at 700. Ive had to replace the control panel and some safety switches (which next time I'll just bypass.) Mine is the...

    3rd Axis setup. What do you do

    I have checked it against other levels and its pretty close. The bubble level is not as good. I have a 6" that I use and several rifle scope leveling pcs that I use as well.

    For Those Of You Who've Been To Total Archery Challenge (TAC)

    As stated, just check the weights. Sounds like you have a handle on it. I use glue in 130 grain points for 3d and TAC events. Also use pin nocks. My hunting arrows are about 70 grains heavier so I retune after 3d season. I built up 3 dozen last year and still have half left. Between two...

    Archery Shelter Options

    for backcountry stuff we have a BPWD Luna 6 and for colder weather use a Lite Outdoors 18" Ti Cylinder stove. Nice lightweight setup especially if we split it between 2 or 3 guys.

    3rd Axis setup. What do you do

    It is pricey but can be used for 1st and 2nd axis as well. I made the leap last year. It's a quality piece and should last a lifetime.

    I’m not looking for honey holes but…

    Riff Raff Brewing has good burgers. Also some really good food at Coyote Moon Don't forget the GunniSack in Gunnison. Decent stuff there too. Eddyline brewing taproom in Buena Vista has really good bar food! Ive heard the restaurant is good as well but we like the vibe in the taproom. K's...

    I've never been a fan of Quincy's. It's decent. but for leadville fare I prefer High Mountain Pies and used to frequent the Grill when it was open.
