    Got what I wanted. I went light this year, a cow elk, doe antelope, and doe whitetail. I’ve been enjoying general elk and deer the last few years, so I’m happy to stick with that this year.

    Is less more?

    How much do you practice with your shotgun? I confess, I literally only shoot when I'm hunting. The past couple seasons, I've had a 90%+ hit rate on birds, mostly upland. I got my first dusky grouse double last September. Three years ago I purchased an over/under after only ever using a...

    Someone Stop Me

    $1 invested now and earning an average of 10% annually will be $10 in 25 years. 25 years from now, would you wish you had 10x the current price in cash, or the rifle?

    Mount Rushmore of Meats.

    No particular order: Taco with lettuce and shredded cheddar Cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, and mayo on a properly toasted bun King crab Lightly breaded walleye Steak doesn't make the cut. I guess that means I'm a communist.

    September Clothes

    I've hunted birds in that region. If sitting in a deer stand in Michigan is your normal, you're more likely to be under-prepared for how hot and sweaty you could get, not for how cold it could get. That time of year, I'm wearing lightweight, flexible pants and a lightweight long sleeve shirt...

    Wyoming… I’m in a pickle

    Here’s what I would do: Hunt OTC in CO in 2023, just on the other side of WY general areas. While you’re at it, do a little scouting in WY. Don’t put a ton of pressure on yourself to kill an elk. Explore. Bag some grouse. In 2024, hunt WY General solo no matter what.

    Rangefinder recommendations

    You didn't mention what Kilo model you had. I bought a Kilo750 in 2016. It would range out to 500 on a good day. It was stolen and I replaced it with a Kilo1000. 930 is the farthest it has ranged. I'm very happy with it, given the low price.

    What are your Signature Dishes?

    elk flat iron* with rosemary and garlic grouse pot pie pho with elk bone broth *I tend to hit elk in the scapula, so having a flat iron steak is much more of a treat than tenderloin or blackstrap.

    Bourbon Connoisseurs

    In 2016, I bought a bottle of Old Weller Antique 107 for sub $25. I’d never heard of it. I liked the bottle and the price. If I could go back in time, I’d tell myself to buy every bottle in town. It’s still my favorite by a long shot.

    Why cant more politicians think more freely?

    I could never support a politician who supports red flag laws, a complete circumvention of due process and a middle finger to civil liberties. “Take their guns now. Due process later.” - Donald J. Trump

    Cheyenne or Laramie for a trip layover??

    Don’t waste your time in Cheyenne. I second the Library wings. Bond’s is a cool place for beer, too. I’m a big fan of Corona Villiage. I could eat Mexican food for every meal. I think Accomplice is enormously overrated, along with the Rib ‘N Chop.

    20 Gauge Pheasant Loads?

    That'll work. I've used Kent Fasteel #6 steel with a lot of success.

    Examples of elk absorbing shots and not acting hit?

    A perfectly hit elk usually doesn’t react immediately. It’s very easy to accidentally shoot multiple elk if one isn’t careful, especially in a large group of cows. https://kgab.com/chief-game-warden-admits-hunting-violation/
