Why. Why on earth would anyone want a projectile, from a gun to hunt lower 48 game, to become smaller and possibly less than perfect shot placement cartridge? We have the 30’06 and .308 parent case cartriges, and they + derivatives over .277 caliber deliver devastating results when placed in...
I’ve been to that mountain. It’s a good sight, and a good time. I’ve aged since and have paid closer attention. Hunting at 54 is quite a bit different than it was at 40. I’m not any less successful, but I have all of that plus the knowledge it only goes so far. I’d gladly take my 40 year...

If they become open and obvious, it’s a shoot and shut up thing. Otherwise it’s live and let live. They help keep deer and elk trimmed out to a degree to help the stream/river habitats.
I’ve done a hunting season with a Forester now. When the clips pop out from from the plastic parts, just use your boot to punch them back in place. It works for a few weeks. Can’t help with those harsh sagebrush scrapes, as that does happen. My rig is all jacked up from sagebrush.
A 16” cutt and a 16” bow released by the little guy (not pictured), and 12” kept. He had the hot hand. The girl got the big one of the morning, a 17” bow (kept). Some others released, but nice little dinner on tap. Getting them warmed up for the next 3 days.
