How to mount scope farther back?
I'd say more like .375", which is about 9.53mm. I'm sticking with 10mm on this one. Maybe the OP can get us a measurement. -

Heavy Pack Loads
If I'm packing out an animal and my pack doesn't weight 100 pounds, I generally put some extra rocks in there just to get to triple digits. Its not worth shooting an animal unless you have to carry an obscene amount of weight over many many miles. #Keephammering.- nrpate05

How to mount scope farther back?
You should be able to reverse the rear mount, that should get you another centimeter from what it looks like, but a shorter stock is probably the preferred method. Sounds like time to get a new rifle! -

Colorado Winter
I bet elk didn't too bad last winter. Mule Deer and Antelope took it on the chin. You could call the biologist in the area as well. -

22 million BLM acres for development?
Correct, the areas that are open for application are just that - doesn't mean there will be development, just means that those are the places that they will accept applications from. I haven't dove into the EIS yet, but I think all other lands administered by BLM are off limits? At least for the...- nrpate05

How important is it?
There was a point in time where I thought it was quite important and it certainly is for some people. I shoot out to 500 yards - maybe 400 on an animal so its not that big of a deal. I generally shoot monos light and fast, so usually lowish BC's. Doesn't seem to make a difference.- nrpate05

Cleaning at the end of the season
I used to clean my guns just about every session, which was like 20 rounds ish. Then I had kids and now I clean about once a year, Usually after hunting season because I won't shoot for a few months generally. Haven't noticed any difference in accuracy. I generally clean with Hoppes #9 to get... -

Grizzly Bear Deterrents while Backpack Camping (increased safety while sleeping)
My wife took this stuff called Unisom while she was pregnant. It helped her so I took it backpack hunting this past fall and it worked like a dream! If I was in serious grizz country I'd think about one of those electric fences.- nrpate05

7mm WSM... thoughts?
Agreed, I'd really like one. Nice having the short action. Seems a bit odd that it didn't stick like the 270 and 300 WSM's -

Who's ready to ski!
Dude, your missing the hidden gem, the Pearl of the Rockies, aka Eldora! I gave up on the I70 grind from Boulder the last couple of years I lived there. Started hitting the Pearl and it was awesome. If you're into backcountry, there is some good stuff there and very few access it.- nrpate05

Colorado Lion and Bobcat Ballot Initiative Update
If I were an anti hunting group, I would make the argument that wolves can be pretty hard on mountain lions. In fact, wolves kill outright kill mountain lions and also alter prey behavior enough that it makes it harder for lions to hunt (Prey stay out in the open more as opposed to in forested...- nrpate05

Blue Zones, fact or fiction
I watched some of the Blue Zone doc on Netflix. I think the host just chose what he wanted to and said "this is why people live so long." He went to Italy and talked to some ladies deep frying potatoes and cheese and then went to sheepherder and milked goats with them. His conclusion was that...- nrpate05
