Favorite quotes by outdoor writers, gun writers, conservationists, naturalists, ect.
I wish I had the quote in front of me but I don't so this isn't exact and I hope I don't butcher it. "We base our hopes on a willingness to go to hard to get at places..... We rise early and we stay late. We freeze if need be. We hunt and we hunt hard often when the chances are poor and in that...- Hatchie Dawg

What is the 1 rifle you regretted buying or wished you never had bought?
Tikka T3X Superlight .270. Took three seasons to find a load it would shoot. By that time the romance was over. HD- Hatchie Dawg

Lightweight Spotting Scope
Nikon ED 50 is solid glass and an ultralight. I originally went with the Minox MD 50 and I regretted it. Not in the class of the Nikon. For what it’s worth I now have a Leupold HD 60 which cost more than twice as much as what I paid the Nikon. It’s great glass but not a lot of difference than my...- Hatchie Dawg

options for the solo elk hunter
It's tough but don't let that stop you. My solo hunts have been some of my most enjoyable. Lots of resources. Prepare mentally and physically. Do your homework and go. I wish I had started earlier. HD- Hatchie Dawg

Story of my first Elk (CO 1st Rifle 2019)
i just found this thread and I want to add how our experiences were very different but then very much the same in CO. Trying to find some edge, sticking with the process, and then that almost unexplainable feeling when you meet success are all familiar to me. Your description of Bill and Zac...- Hatchie Dawg

VX3i vs VX5
Current scope is 3.5 x 10 and looking at the 3x15 VX5hd CDS with zero lock. Both are 40ish mm objectives. I'm looking at McMillan edge stock and then the upgraded optics to trick out the Tikka as a mountain rifle. Just thinking. Thanks for responses so far. HD- Hatchie Dawg

VX3i vs VX5
Probably already discussed but would appreciate a quick revisit with this group of people. I have about $1200 in Cabelas points and cards to burn. I have been considering replacing my VX3i which sits on my Tikka .270 with a VX5. VX5 would have a little more magnification. Lately I've been...- Hatchie Dawg

I knew her time was near....
There are few things better than a good lab. Fourteen years with one is a lot to be thankful for and sorrowful over at the same time. So it is with dogs and all things we love. Congrats on those good years and my condolences during this loss. HD- Hatchie Dawg
