A Kifaru pack.

Meat waste? There's only about a pound of meat on a whitetail does neck. Maybe two. Vs a shoulder. It's not a buck or a bull.

Another dumb newb question, how do the lower BCs on the 120 grain monos compare to the 140 gainers? Or do you make up for it in velocity?

Awesome! I'll stick to the 140 VLDs I have and see how they do. Then maybe God willing I'll find some VLD hunters.

What's the wind drift of the bigger bullets vs the 140's? That's my only concern or reason I'd go heavier. Is it even noticeable? Say 15 mph cross wind at 500? I've got a 7.5 twist so I think I'm good in that area. Good to know it'll fit the 2.950 length! Thanks guys! Getting into LR I've...

I carry a Bradford 4.5 for a "bush" knife. It's like a mini machete. Great steel that holds an edge and is easy to sharpen. For game care though I carry a Tyto.

I've got bad raynauds but I don't like insulation in my mountain boots. If I stop to glass I swap out socks to a dry pair and pull on down booties and stuff hand warmers in them.

I've been using Sitka since the mothwing days. I tried FL and I had several pieces fail in the first two weeks. The last straw was when my new Obsidians started getting worn out knees inside the first week. FL told me it was "normal field use" and wasn't covered. I spoke to Sitka and told then...

I try and avoid sub zero hunts. Or if I do it it's close to the truck. I've got really bad raynauds so even in early Sept on elk wallows in the shade my hands go numb. Lots of handwarmers and mittens.

Don't forget to know elk and how they use the area. I was packing my bull out this year and ran into a Midwestie. He said the elk weren't talking 🤦‍♂️ No bud, you're just not close enough to hear them. As a good local I said I hadn't seen much either... as my Kifaru has a load of meat😂. Which...

Montana River bottom whitetails tied with bowhuhting elk.

Friday I shot my rifle, a 6.5 prc using the factory Precision Hunter ammo. 600 and as a newb I had an amazing half moa group. One flyer I jerked. Saturday morning I found a mulie doe. 450 no wind, prone, correct dope, perfect trigger press. First shot looked to have hit low heart. She hops and...

To be fair there's been fruit and goats that have tested positive. Then the guy in Africa that was wanting these things tested had a "heart attack"...

Wow
