    How did you meet?

    Was actually looking for an elk hunting partner. Joined RMEF and volunteered for a committee position. It took a while but found a member needing another guy to fill a camp. Now 11 years on we’ve never missed a hunt together. Looking back we were both lucky, it’s kind of hard to find dedicated...

    Mule deer vs Elk habitat

    Thanks for the opinions guys. I’m far from certain I can even draw a tag. I’m just getting at the beginning of this, tossing a hundred bucks at a preference point isn’t something I’m too keen on if it’s going to be a multi year propositio. As a target of opportunity those Mulies are very...

    Mule deer vs Elk habitat

    This coming fall I’ll be hunting 2nd rifle in CO. Is it reasonable to expect both mule deer and elk sharing the same space? This will be new territory for me, and the mule deer a new opportunity. Carrying a ~$500 tag around “just in case” isn’t a good use of my resources. Elk are the focus...

    Learning to Handle Recoil

    I am a big believer in dryfiring. Dry fire till you are so stinking tired of it you can’t stomach the thought. You need to hit the range pull the trigger and expect no noise or recoil because the last 5000 times that is what happened. Bring only 5 rounds to ensure you don’t over do it. If you...

    2020 CO. Hunt Dates

    Well now I’m absolutely certain I don’t know. Am I to understand the proposal was accepted? I’m inclined to believe the Wednesday thru... as I remember a lot of gnashing of teeth and such last summer. Thanks for the update Oak.

    .257 Wby Mag?

    Kinda un clear I guess. With a 200 zero it is never more than 1 1/2” high out to 200 then drops to 1 1/2” low at 250. Don’t touch the dial till >250.

    Chest cold Remedies

    Lots of water, do that gallon a day thing. It really does help loosen the goo in your lungs.

    Ever get robbed on a hunt or traveling to and from a hunt

    I’ve worked night delivery jobs in both Detroit and E St Louis. I’ll take Detroit thank you very much. I worry about this very thing every trip west. It’s quite sobering to do the math on what we haul into the bush. I do my best to have a sterile truck sitting in the parking lot. Cleaned out...

    Recommended Scope rings, tikka t3x and vortex crossfire II

    I’ve used Warne med on my 300 Tikka for years. The objective can hit the barrel if you pull it back far enough. It. Was far enough forward I never gave a thought to getting scoped. I did have to snuggle up into the gun a bit depending on shot angle and the coat I was wearing. This was a Leupold...

    Out of the mainstream hunting calibers

    I guess I could be considered a modern contrarian. 257 Weatherby, 327 Federal Mag, 41 Rem mag, and a 325 WSM.

    Reccomended Gear for 1st Elk Hunt in 2020

    Have been going drop camp for several years now. Some outfits provide kitchen gear some don’t, some provide foam pads for cots some don’t, you’ll want one. I would think 20 degree bag or lower, even with a wood stove, problems can occur. Whenever possible choose the lighter weight option...

    Pro tips........

    Use fresh coffee grounds to help when deodorizing that sour milk smell when it inevitably comes. That’s my pro tip.
