I just tighten the waistband on my pack so that it stays above my hips and am very comfortable. I don’t carry much in my saddlebags maybe an extra Nalgene-nothing essential. I’ve also always heard of big heavy saddlebags being too much for the horse’s kidneys but I’ve never witnessed it. I think...
What is the best available substitute for Alliant’s Re-22? I shoot 160gr bullets out of a 7mmremmag and 107gr out of a .243win. I’m finally running low on my favorite powder and it seems as though it’s never going to come off the back order list
That sounds like what a 10-15 mph cross wind does to a good bullet at 300. Im always taken aback by how much wind can push around a premium bullet-at all ranges
I’ve only shot one that did not react-feeding at 350, perfectly broadside and I placed my bullet just behind the shoulder in the ribs. The bullet only broke one rib and she didn’t flinch. I knew I connected because I knew that I couldn’t have missed (because I had a perfect prone rest), I heard...
I agree with the guy who said trailheads, trails and the backcountry are often more crowded than roads and easier, less cool spots. I would not go setting up a camp miles from the trailhead unless you know you will be getting into elk. Often that beautiful elk filled basin that you scouted in...
I haven’t had good hunting amongst summer moo cows on public land during the rut. Found lots of good hunting predictably, immediately on the other side of the rotation fence where the grass has not been grazed.
In a factory rifle I would be happy with a load that consistently shot under an inch at 100. To get there I would shoot a ladder test with powder charge and another with seating depth. This has never failed me and it saves on components and your shoulder
This is also for rjthehunter. The United States currently uses over 20 million barrels of crude oil per day. I also see coal trains miles long heading west to the Asian electrical grid each day. Carbon from the Mesozoic era that should’ve stayed miles underground. Simple common sense would say...
Also duped that the Democratic Party would put so much effort into polishing a turd rather putting that same effort into replacing him with someone that has a functioning mind… but Biden might be the perfect candidate for the powers that be…he signs what he’s told to sign then forgets about it...
Yes definitely duped. That’s not a strong enough word. Based on the news that was apparently misleading me, Biden was just a bit slower and older than Trump. After watching him and listening to him for two uninterrupted hours he seems very close to vegetable status. Within the first 10 minutes...
My main takeaways from Steve’s JFKjr podcast and then CNN’s debate was collectively that
-Biden has completely lost his mind to old age, should be in a nursing home and is therefore just as much a threat to our country as Trump. I feel duped and embarrassed by the powers that be!
-Trump is...
Holy Cow, after watching some of the debate I am absolutely voting for RFK. If RFK was not around I would vote for Trump and I can’t stand Trump. I reluctantly voted for Biden last election but based on his debate performance last night he’s apparently in the throes of Alzheimer’s and should be...
Ha! You expect the election to change the trajectory of inflation and the working person’s loss of purchasing power? I’d say Great Depression, WWIII, some other unimaginable human catastrophe.
My favorite steakhouse is post creek 44, just north of St. Ignatious. I always order the ribeye for dinner. Their sandwiches are good if you’re there for lunch. Great atmosphere, great beer selection. 2nd favorite would be the Feedlot Cafe north of Shepherd-I’ve never been let down by their...
Coming from a MT Point of view, I’d hunt cows in the trophy unit. I love looking at big bulls almost as much as I like hunting/shooting/eating cows. I used to guide for a public land outfitter in an OTC either sex unit and hunters rarely got a crack at a bull. We packed out a mature bull about...
