I dont know what I would do without my full sized pickup truck
Have 2 F250s, one gas, one diesel. Also have a 40’ 5th wheel that no suv can pull. No one here paid for the trucks or have put one drop of fuel in them. My money, my business, I’ll drive what I want.- elkhnter

New setup
I would recommend that you take 5 days and do a cold bow challenge, it will open your eyes. If you feel you’re ready to take a 30 yard shot at an animal, that’s your range. Take one shot a day, no practice. If you can keep every arrow, preferably with a broadhead, in a 6” circle, you’re ready. I... -

A bolt action carbine, simple scope, varied handloads, good for everything.
A 673 in 300 saum is my grab and go rifle. A vx3i 3.5-10x40 sits on top. Rifle points like a shotgun and handles like a dream. Thanks to component storage, I played with 168 TSX and Varget. Found a load that shots 3/4” or less. It’s the one rifle I’ll never part with. -

How I would give 1st aid to myself. If I had an open chest wound in the field.
One heck of a group of surgeons spent 11 hours putting it back on. Was shooting my bow 6 months later and even sold the head surgeon his first bow! I was graded at 96%, so I get along pretty well. Went from this, To this.- elkhnter

How I would give 1st aid to myself. If I had an open chest wound in the field.
8/24/97 I cut my left hand off with a compound miter saw. Put it together, took my wife’s shorts and wrapped it then my right hand as a twisting tourniquet. Wife drove me to the hospital, I got on the radio, state vehicle, and notified the hospital we were on the way and injury and blood type...- elkhnter

What I Wish I Knew - Concealed Carry
Illinois isn’t a gun friendly state, but it sure is a great place to get shot. Visit Chicago. My carry is a trusted 1911. It’s big, shoots a big bullet. Picked up a SOB holster a few years ago, works great for my needs. -

Is the price of gas hindering your out-of-state or in-state hunt plans?
The price has made me reconsider cellular game cameras. The cost for me to run back and forth to the farm will definitely offset the cost of the cam and plan. -

Flying with firearm & Rental Vehicles
Always fly with a handgun. Unload it, lock it up with TSA locks and ammo in a separate box. Other than a Southwest issue in Phoenix about 5 years ago, it’s been easy. Don’t know about coolers and renting trucks, if I’m hunting, I’m driving. Whole lot less hassles.
