    Clolorado OTC second thoughts

    I took a buddy on a 2nd season deer hunt last year. I must have told him 50 times that he is going to see more hunters than he can count. The hunters can be super, super thick. Now that is only half of the problem. The second half is private property. That can vary by unit and time...

    Figuring out how to get a Dall sheep tag.

    If you wanted to do a cancellation hunt you would need to treat the year(s) like you were going on a scheduled hunt. You would need to have your weapon, pack, gear, ect. all ready to go. Plus, you would need to be in tip top shape with your stuff packed waiting for the phone call. Then you...

    Nemo Hornet 2P tent

    I have the Kuiu mountain star 2P. It is luxury for one person. I might stay in the tent with my wife but wouldn't think about sleeping in the tent on a hunt with another sticky dude. I've got probably 6-10 nights in the tent and it does really good. Plenty of space and holding up fine...

    Recommendation for chronometer?

    We found that the magneto is awesome for checking velocity. The weight of the device attached to your barrel can change the harmonics enough to where your groups will be different when you take it off. The Labradar doesn't have the same issue. If you don't care about shooting across a chony...

    Satin stainless vs cerakote

    I chose stainless for my gun. Main reason is I can change out barrels and don't have to worry about matching a color.......and I'm on my second barrel. What are your other spec's? Building a rifle is a blast. I would do it completely different now. Actually I'm thinking about...

    What does a new Tikka T3x go for when on sale?

    I don't know if you will find one that cheap.....but......I have the Tikka T3 super lite in .308 and that bad boy shoots 1" groups at 200 yards all day long. I put the light spring in the trigger and got it down to 1.5#'s and for a factory trigger it is pretty nice. Then added the long bolt...

    Vacuum Sealer

    I own one. My uncle owns one. My mom went and got one. Buy it and you will be super, super happy. I've had mine for 6-8 years and use it quite a bit and it still runs like a champ. It does a great job...

    Recommendation for chronometer?

    lab Radar is the bomb. It works great for load development because it doesn't touch your barrel unlike the magneto speed. The magneto speed is great if you are just looking to check the speed when you are done with load development but I always use a chrony when doing load development...

    Bullet for moose...VLD?

    I shoot a 6.5 X 284. Bullets have been going anywhere from 2880 to 2950 MV. I shot the 140 grain VLD hunting bullet. I shot a coues deer at 409 yards. Hit is exactly where you would want to hit a deer. Right on the crease just below halfway up. The deer got drunk and fell over. We...

    Too hot to hunt. Try later in the year.......;)

    Arizona Unit 19A & 8

    It depends. That time of year you could have a bunch of snow to deal with too. I would plan on covering a bunch of ground (glassing, vehicle, boots) and not stop looking until you find deer. Don't be afraid to make large moves and change your elevation dramatically in order to find the...

    Bullet for moose...VLD?

    I would look for a bullet designed for weight retention and the VLD's aren't that bullet. I would look at the Nosler Partition and the A-frame. I would also use both of these bullets on pawed critters in the same location. I would also try and shoot the heaviest bullet I could for...

    Arizona late archery

    pray for it to be dry and sit water. The bulls will come to water this time of the year but it needs to be dry. Randy has a video or two out about where to find elk during different times of year. Might be a good idea to look at those. I would look for country that you really don't want...

    AZ UNIT 7E ARCHERY-water question

    Well I've hunted 7E but it has been quite a few years. I did hike up the hill this weekend and stopped at about 10,500 feet and spent the night. If I was going to hunt cow elk with a bow in unit 7E I would go find some water north of the big hill out in the flats. The elk will start to...

    Fuel source

    Bought an emberlit titanium stove. Been using it this summer and it has been fun so far. Not as fast as the fuel burning stoves but does get it done. Plus I like to have a fire. It does weigh a bit less than other stove options (like maybe 5-6 oz total for the stove). If you want fast...

    Google Bot Data Mined Super-Fund Site

    I've been on a few sheep hunts in AZ. One of the hunts the hunter left me and my buddy to stalk into the sheep and choose his animal. About 20 minutes later we hear the gun go "bang". We were eating a little lunch at the time. The hunter waived at us to come over and we did. When we...

    Ya know I just hope I'm not one of those guys. It would be a first for me but............Ya never know until you strap on the pack and start walking uphill. Or I will love it and not want to leave. Time will tell. Well I'm doing a hike this weekend starting at 8500' and going to 12,600'...

    I am also heading to the unlimiteds for the first time this year and would find it interesting to see how many tags have been purchased for each unit. Though from the sounds of things a high percentage of people that purchase a tag don't end up hunting very long or don't go at all. If anyone...

    If you had to choose just one caliber???

    This is a trick question.......who in their right mind would ever just choose one!!!!!!!! Maybe one cartridge in each caliber. If you were going to limit yourself to just one then I would choose 300 win mag. I think a guy could do really good with a .243 and a .300 win mag
