    Muzzleloader recommendation for elk under $1500

    Ive got a Knight disc rifle I bought 23 years. It uses shotgun primers. I notice that you use pistol cartridges ex the powder and bullet? Is that right? Not familiar with that ignition method. What type of rifle? Is the briass hard to remove after the shot? Any issues? How about accuracy at say...

    Leupold scopes love or hate em?

    I used to date (20 years ago) an optical engineer in Pittsburgh that worked on Big telescopes (like 8' and bigger) that worked for a major defense company. She made the telescope in the top of a Hawaiian mountain and the airborne laser program. She told me that all the best glass is made in...

    Grazing fees, the economics of elk and cattle

    Here in Florida, we are, I believe #3 in the nation for cattle production. The great weather allows our ranchers to easily use less land per steer. I believe that the ratio dow here is probably 2 acres per cow while up in Montana it is around 40 acres. The Seminole tribe in south Florida has 80...

    Berger Bullets

    I started out using ballistic tips 20 years ago on deer, and they deer did indeed drop like a ton of bricks hit them. But after I hit one, unknowingly in the leg bone and it crippled the deer and I tracked him for 1/2 a mile and he stopped bleeding and I lost him, I swore off using ballistic...

    How Far with a 7mm Rem Mag?-Elk Hunting

    I have thought a lot about your response. I would still have to say that I don't think you have absorbed what experienced hunters are telling you. I could hunt elk with my .338 win mag, my .300 win mag, my 7mm Rem Mag, or my .25-06. Any of those calibers could wound or immediately kill an elk at...

    Leupold scopes love or hate em?

    I recently bought a Zuiess Conquest 4 and a Meopta Optika6 for that same reason. Couldn't find a reticle I liked that was illuminated and the knobs were easy to use. Acquired a Swarovski with a gun purchase and absolutely didn't like the knobs on it. The Leupolds are easy to use. I own a lot of...

    Are jack rabbits any good to eat? I thought my buddy from Great Falls had said they taste like a cedar plank.

    How Far with a 7mm Rem Mag?-Elk Hunting

    OP, just so that you completely understand, these highly experienced hunters picked up right away on your inexperience in the field. Wounding a big animal like an elk means he'll run off, maybe miles, and die in some God forsaken place. And the animal isn't recovered and left to rot. We end up...

    I found that Mtn House was cheapest at Walmart. Not as much variety, but cheaper than anywhere else.

    Corner Crossing latest

    I couldn't have said it better. They have counting on govt incompetence to persist. It will take time to unwind all of this as it trickles through the various courts. I wouldn't want to be a big ranch with a checkerboard.

    Snow chain recommendations

    Pewag off road. Ive got the same truck, except a 2011, and the exact same tires. Did some checking but the Pewags seemed to be extremely well made. The guy in Portland I spoke to was very helpful. I put them on in my driveway. Do that. And put them on before you need them is very good advice...
