    Scope for Howa mini 6 ARC

    Leupold vx-3 4.5-14 (boone & crockett reticle). Extremely lightweight. I think it's around 13oz.

    Check them vehicles before season

    Yep, totally agree. Always wanna be prepared out there. Also a good idea to have a sat phone (like Garmin inreach) of some kind if ya get stranded. We bought one a few years ago and it definitely gives ya peace of mind when you're in the middle of nowhere.

    Your favorite sling.

    Butler creek is what we use exclusively. Super comfortable (neoprene type material). We've only had them for a couple seasons but they seem to be holding up to the abuse.

    Warne customer service

    That's great to hear! I have a set of Warne rings as well. Seems like an outstanding company.

    What caliber would you start a hunter with?

    I bought my son a mossberg patriot 308 when he was 12. Great caliber for pretty much all game but the gun itself was super inconsistent. We did kill a bear and a cow elk with it no problem.

    Bore brushes…….or not?

    I use bore brushes on my pistol and all of our bolt action rifles. Never had any issues.

    Need help choosing a spotting scope

    The older vortex razor 20-60 is on sale for around $800 right on basspro. It's a great option for low light.

    The gutless method. Why aren't you doing it if you have to pack out?

    We've always done the gutless method on elk and mostly on deer unless our truck is nearby. Then we'll gut it and drag it out. No need to ever gut an elk unless you wanna keep the liver or something.

    Do you only grind your own wild game?

    We always have our elk/deer burger ground at a butcher nearby and he adds 10% beef fat. Only around $1.50 lb. Not worth the cost in my opinion to buy the grinder and dealing with incorporating the fat in.

    What is everyone using to keep pants up while wearing a heavy large pack?

    Yep, agreed. I use Prana stretch zion pants with the belt incorporated into the waist.
