Should I buy a .338?
If you want to buy it for sentimental reasons, who are we to say? If you want to be a more effective hunter, a 223 bolt gun and a 1000 rounds of ammo for realistic practice are probably a better investment. I have no idea what your riflemanship skill is, maybe you have that covered. Either... -

What coat/jacket/sweater do I want?
I'm not sure what's on the market right now. If the face fabric is right, it makes for an amazing garment.- woods89

Who else has stopped helping people get/track points?
My buddy and I sort of remind each other at times, but neither of us depend on it. Honestly, it's never been easier to keep up on things like this. We have game dept. websites, Google calendar, etc. If someone isn't organized enough to handle application deadlines, do I really want to head off...- woods89

Spooked and Humbled
Likely you would have died if not for that impressive mustache......... Seriously, though, glad you kept your head and got things under control. People worry about lions and bears, but this is the kind of event that sneaks up on us and get us in trouble fast.- woods89

Eastern hunters are overly defensive over spatial distribution!
A lot of hunters, regardless of home state, are lazy. I see it here at home, and it has been interesting to watch the locals road hunt the unit we hunt for elk. Having said that, I hunt where the animals are, to the best of my ability. Sometimes that takes you further from the road, sometimes...- woods89

The Season of Stupid (& elk)
Great story, guys, and it's just terrific that after a fair bit of adversity you were successful. This is the kind of stuff that makes great memories, in a few years, anyways...... The chains on Toyotas thing is interesting. I've been trying to figure out myself how I'm going to do with my...- woods89

Three kids & a dog
What a great thread, and consistent from year to year! The backcountry repair you guys had to do last year (I think?) really intrigued me. I think if one was to have trouble in the backcountry of any kind @BearFoot and company would be the kind of people you would want to have along. Edit- A...- woods89

Quitters
I was probably closer to quitting on my first CO trip than I'd like to admit. I've always hit a bit of a bump on extended hunting trips about 3-4 days in. For some reason I always miss my wife and kids a lot over those few days, but if I can get past that, it gets better. On my first trip I...- woods89

The Ball and Testosterone remover (The man bun gun)
TMKs are da bomb. I've killed 3 whitetails now with 130 gr at 2830 MV and 2 with 69 gr at 2780 MV. All fairly moderate ranges. All were trashed inside. Only thing about the 69 gr. is that they certainly aren't always going to exit. The other side of that is that if the bullet is under the...- woods89
