    Podcast on wounding

    Here's an example of this. I had a situation in my twenties when I shot a cow elk at close range (under 10 yards). I had gotten in front of the herd and the wind was good and they walked up to me. I picked out the cow and sighted down the side of the barrel. I 100% knew it was a heart shot...

    Podcast on wounding

    Let's not focus on any number of how far you feel comfortable shooting. It's situational and different for everyone. It depends on species as well - as we all know that elk can be lethally shot without them exhibiting any visual signs of being lethally shot. We've all heard stories or seen...

    Podcast on wounding

    I was able to listen to this one last night - I thought it was a great podcast and discussion around wounding loss. I found it very interesting that Craig has noticed a difference in wounding rates when the initial shot difference goes from 350 to 400. Granted - all animals were recovered...

    Boat remodel

    We did this on an '87 American Skier last winter. Removed the floor, 3 stringers and all of the floatation foam. It was initially a fun project - but it took a ton of time. We were lucky as the original designer of those boats is still selling parts - so we were able to buy all of the...

    Name my son for me.

    For both of our kids, we went in with a list of First and middle names that we would both accept. Then after meeting the kid, we went through the names together. It was obvious to both of us what their name should be.

    Beware of future birthdays

    I understand the planning on Wedding Anniversaries, but not for kids birthdays. My oldest has a mid-November birthday - and I get to plan special hunts just for her because she's the birthday kid (the other kid gets special hunts too, but the oldest definitely likes it). Sure there were some...

    Bozeman: is it really that bad anymore?

    Wednesday nights, steak and a twice baked potato. Last time I went was 2005 or so - I have no idea if it's still a thing. I would go there after work most Wednesday's when I was there.

    What makes one a "good shot?"

    You are only as good as your last shot.

    Elk processing- French rack?

    I've done the French Rack method on deer - but not Elk. It's totally do-able in the field if you pack a Wyoming Game Saw - or a sharp hatchet. Might be awkward in the game bag, but it would work. I'd say R.K. is in a perfect spot to do it on this elk.

    Esther

    Love the detail on keeping "Esther" from getting scratched (towel under the skull, plastic bottles on the tines and moving the straps inside the weather-stripping). I too had a Norwegian grandmother, who in her later days was fighting Alzheimer's - and reverted back to speaking Norwegian (which...

    Colonoscopy jokes - The jokes are on me.

    Had my first go round with this yesterday. The prep was the more inconvenient part of the whole procedure - but it wasn't too big of a deal. Looking forward to getting the guts back to normal. It is definitely better than having any cancer issues down the road. Part of life as we get older -...

    Stupidest thing you've done reloading

    The only big mistake I've made was when I was 17 or so. The first load I settled on for my .308 was 44.6 gr of IMR 3031. After a few years of loading that, Dad and I switched over to using Win 760 - and 50.1 gr was the powder charge. One night I was loading and we were out of Win 760 - so I...

    Light weight .308 lever action suggestions

    I've thought about getting a Win 88 - but in .284 and not the .308 - but it would be a fun gun for sure in either caliber. I do have a BLR in .308 - I got it in the late 80's when I was 12 or so. It's been a great gun and still shoots right around MOA with handloads. The trigger pull is not...
