Favorite Arrow?
I spend enough time to get my arrows the same, so it really doesn’t matter which one I grab. I like it that way. Had a VPA head that I tried to keep track of for a while. After 4 deer and a hog, lost track of it. My favorite arrow is the one I took my first bear with. A 2317 XX78 with a 175... -
Ford 7.3 gas opinions
Your 7.3 is a diesel, I’m looking at the new gas engine. I also have a 2002 F250 with a 5.4 Triton that’s my local kick around truck. It does pretty good, averaging 14 mpg.- elkhnter

Ford 7.3 gas opinions

Burris Fullfield
I put a Full Field II 4.5-14x40 on a AB3 in 300 Winchester mag. Just shooting, so far I’m happy. Not going to sell all my Leupolds, but it’s a solid scope for a budget rifle. -
Switch to wood or no?
Guess I’m the oddball, I’ve picked up a couple really pretty laminated stocks. Wood without the warp. -
What are you currently reloading?
Found a 168 TSX load using Varget that my 300 saum loves. Been using up the usually large quantity of Varget that I have. Honestly, I don’t remember buying all of it!- elkhnter

Antelope...Lets See Them!!!
Got my 2021 antelope back today. I think Chris did a nice job. Need to find a better place to hang him. I’m sure the wife will have a better idea when she gets home. -
Trailer ideas
I really appreciate that, it’d be a little drive from SE Illinois. Headed back home tomorrow, so I’ll put some thought into it. Ladder racks are pretty easy to come by around here.- elkhnter

Trailer ideas
Need some visual input. I’ve got a 5.5x8’ trailer to work with. Plywood floor is going, being replaced with 1x treated wood. I’m wanting to haul my quad, Honda Rancher and up to a 14’ canoe. The Rancher will fit to one side with room to fit a couple coolers, Yeti 65 & 105. What il looking for...- elkhnter
