    Any thoughts

    Well the Hogue is installed as well as the Timmney trigger. Yes its heavy, but since we only get a couple weeks a year to stomp the mountains, I will grin and bear it this year. Trigger is a huge upgrade! Cerakote is next. We ordered 160 grain Nosler partition spitzers for it. Hopefully they...

    What Makes You Go

    Never hunted in the snow but last year during the last week of archery elk hunting in the mountains was spectacular. We didn't kill a thing but wouldn't change a minute of it either. Hearing that first elk bugle was magical.

    Static thrust for a mini air boat to be

    Take this with a grain if salt...If I had a 250 pound thrust trolling motor on a small 16 or 18 foot aluminum hull, it would push that boat probably around 15 MPH or greater. Now, water will have much more resistance than air obviously so your speeds would obviously be greater. Most airboats...

    No, a guide isn't required. They are available if needed.

    Mescalero cow elk hunt

    We have been drawn. We will make the most of it and learn form this. Ironically enough, you are not given a email confirmation or any confirmation other that "yes you were drawn". We booked our room already and we will make the most of it and hopefully get an cow elk or two. We are calling CPW...

    Background checks on ammo purchases.

    Building trade unions here in the Southeast have ZERO seniority! You will keep a job based on what you did yesterday. The contractors can call for an individual by name off the bench and yet we continue to have a great relationship with our contractors. So much so that they wanted us to sign an...

    Mescalero cow elk hunt

    True be told, I enjoy the pursuit much more than the kill. If selected for the Inn, this is a gift after the hunt last year in Colorado. She is still pouting about the 11 mile hike I put her through:rolleyes:. I am hoping that we are not selected and go on back to Colorado. We are applying for...

    Mescalero cow elk hunt

    The tragic thing is, I'm not far away from being able to afford a bull hunt like that. Rest assured, I will never spend my money with them after this fiasco has been resolved. I deal with Government Contracting personnel all day and they seem like they are on fire compared to these people at the...

    What to do in CO... an aimless rant against picking a unit.

    You will drive yourself crazy looking at statistics. I made a spread sheet and finally after months of research I realized how OCD I was becoming about it. I simplified down to what I wanted and what terrain I was reasonably sure that me and wife wife could tackle. That formula worked for us...

    Mescalero cow elk hunt

    The original application had the dates listed but it has now been removed from the application. Since then, it’s been nothing but phone calls and lies. This was going to be a bit of a vacation for my wife after me dragging her through the Mountains last year on our elk hunt. Again all I wanted...

    Mescalero cow elk hunt

    Yes the price is nice. I'm not a fan of being lied to and the only recourse I have is to let everyone know online so they do not have the same experience.

    Mescalero cow elk hunt

    I am only posting this as a warning to others who may try this in the future. We called the Inn of the Mountain Gods Big Game Hunt people and asked a specific question, "will the results be available prior to April 3rd?" We were told the drawing would be on March 19th and we could call on the...

    The Best Hunting Video I Have Ever Seen

    Me and my wife watched this show the first time it aired and I was moved to tears as well. My father took me squirrel and rabbit hunting growing up in the marshes of Southern Louisiana. He sat and drank coffee, ate donuts and read the newspaper while I stomped around. Pretty crazy to think this...

    First Time CO Elk hunt

    Just find something very steep and a road less area and you will start to get away from the crowds quickly. We saw a total of 2 people in the woods last year during our archery elk hunt and had a blast and didn't pull the string back.

    Feb. Navajo Nation hunt/ big sheds

    Navajo that is an awesome hunt right there. My wife put us in for the Mescalero cow elk hunt in October. We will find out in three weeks if we are drawn.

    I'm on the highway to...

    That is great gun porn right there. We were debating on rebuilding a Ruger M77 Mark 2 in a .280 but we are having a hell of a time getting a replacement stock, tried the Hogue but cannot even get a confirmation from them. We may very well pull the trigger on a x-Bolt Hells Caynon Speed...
