    2022 Meat Pole

    Super proud of this one!!!! Took this beautiful bull in Northern Colorado on a backcountry backpacking hunt. I was 11 miles in & solo for 5 days. The bulls were call shy for some reason, but I was able to sneak in to 20 yrds and put an arrow through the boiler room. It was an absolute brutal...

    Best backpacker meals...and go....

    My snacks include: Jerky, honey stingers wafers, pro bars, cliff bars, honey stinger gel packs, Justin’s peanut butter packs. High energy & high protein is what I always go for.

    CO - Gray Wolf Reintroduction eNews Edition

    I’m guessing it won’t be long before the hunting license and tag fees go up tremendously so they can manage the introduced parasite.

    Easiest OEM Rifle to Build Off? Budget saver?

    I see in later post that you already went a different route than the savage, but here is what I did for future references. I too hated the feel of the “accustock” so I got a little creative. I took a grinder and went to work, removing a bunch of material. Removed the cheesy adjustable riser...

    Kuiu

    You can’t go wrong with the attack pant. I have several different styles of kuiu pants and the attack pants are my go to pant. I don’t know if I’d use them as a mid-layer though, if that’s what your thinking, unless you’re talking about wearing a bib-style setup over them. I don’t know what temp...

    Basemap vs Onx

    I have been using OnX for a couple of years now and I just recently got the pro version of basemap. I’m really liking basemap and find it easy to use. The satellite imagery on OnX for the area I hunt in Idaho & Colorado is horrible, 75% of the map tiles are covered in snow, absolutely...

    Limbsaver recoil pads getting sticky

    I had 2 rifles with limbsavers on them, one of the being a grind to fit and both became a sticky mess. I contacted Limbsaver and They explained to me that their rubber compound formulation was incorrect and the compound deteriorates over time. They sent me 2 new pads and they did not compensate...

    I haven’t noticed a difference in feel, but I do make sure to wash my wool in light detergents made especially for wool and I usually air dry or low dryer setting

    Best warm weather sock!?

    I always use some sort of merino wool no matter what the temp is. Wool is excellent for pulling moisture away from the skin and also helps with scent control. Take a look at smart wools that have a mixture of materials. I’ve become a fan of the Darn Tough Sock Co with a lifetime guarantee , they...

    6.5 CM vs 7MM-08 head to head ...

    I have a 22-250 that needs a new barrel and have been wanting to convert it to the creed or 7mm-08 for several years now. No matter how many articles I read, I just can decide which one to choose. From what I hear, you can’t really go wrong with either one.

    Too much camo?

    For a clear coat, check out southern hydrographics on amazon. They have gloss and flat versions. It’s basically an automotive grade clear coat in a can that has uv protection.

    Did I just destroy my brass?

    So out of curiosity, I just ran a little test. Took 25 pieces of old Winchester brass and put them in the toaster oven for the same exact 5 minute time & with a digital thermometer. The oven reached its max temp of 485 degrees at 4 min 30sec with only 30 seconds remaining. The tarnish color was...
