Protecting your firearm in the field
How do you keep your handguns nice? The instant I touch mine dings/scratches show up. I know how to remove them but literally a revolver will stay pristine for about 2 seconds after you buy it. Holster wear, cleaning, opening the cylinder and many other things affect them unlike a rifle so I am... -
Protecting your firearm in the field
If you are truly concerned about your rifle, try a stainless synthetic covered by a solo hunter rifle cover. Not as “sexy” as walnut/blued, but handles the elements and and abuse better whether intentional or not. Also, as I get older the stainless synthetic is more and more attractive with the... -
Tires again…I know
BFG K02. I put 60k a year on mine in Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, and North Dakota for the last 9 years. This includes two tracks and mining roads. All my issues went away when I switched to them. No reason to look anywhere else.- 375H&H

Euros after time
I have some that have been boiled in garages, others beetle cleaned by pros, and at least one done by who I would consider the absolute best in the Rocky Mountain region (my opinion of course). A couple things that set that skull apart (bear skull): The inside of the nasal cavity back where it...- 375H&H

Elk flavor
Mule deer are certainly better from timbered areas, not sure about elk IMO. Some of it has to do with the timber/mountain bucks move much more than a sage buck. I have never seen as much fat on a timber buck as I have a plains/sage buck. The fat inevitably assists in the poor flavor of sage... -

Wildife Task force 90-10, etc.
I just drove from SLC back home and could not believe all of the elk I saw right off the interstate in Utah. Especially in one area, big bull after big bull feeding on cliff bands. Probably 50+ 6 point bulls seen along a 10 mile stretch all staying warm against the red rock and taking advantage... -

Wildife Task force 90-10, etc.
Where is the balance? Some people on here want the average Joe to be able to afford all of the tags, but then those same people complain about a doe antelope tag being $35 and the animal being worth more alive. So then they buy a bunch of tags and eat them. Which is it? Cheap so everyone can... -

Diet and Nutrition
The carnivore diet might be up your alley and nsng. Lean meat is not the best, fatty cuts like ribeye, bacon, etc are the best. Animal based “fat” does not make you “fat”. Go wild on heavy cream, butter, and fat on steaks.- 375H&H

CouesKelly's 22/23 Season in Review
Gotcha. Hopefully you draw again someday and get redemption. The persistence and determination needed is rather unexpected when hunting the mountain bulls, regardless of the state.- 375H&H

CouesKelly's 22/23 Season in Review
Love your bison recap even though you weren’t successful. Did you consider just tracking them and then contacting the outfitter in the event you got one down? It seems there are a few rogue hunters every year that go against the grain and get their bulls that way, even though it may not be...- 375H&H

What Chainsaw Do You Run?
Unless you are a professional faller (west coast/Rocky Mountain type) then there is zero reason to go with a Husky. Even then, my dad always preferred Stihls as they are so damn tough and simple. The only reason to go with a Husky is fuel tank size and chain speed, but both can be overcome by...- 375H&H

Little things that bother you. OCD or poor design?
Hinged floor plates do suck, had to dig for many rounds in the snow until I switched rifles. So does a safety anywhere other than on the tang.- 375H&H

How Old Was that Animal?
Being only one year off from your claims is quite accurate. Most places claim +-1 year.- 375H&H
