Who’s building arrows yet?
Received some new Victory RIP TKO shafts last week. All the components are on the bench, just need to find the time to deck them out. Like your orange (I think it orange) and green combo. Yes, the Bitzenberger makes a real difference for me. Normally go with an offset 4-fletch, but just picked... -

Optics/Bullet for First Elk Tag
I personally am in the opposite boat, having a Tikka 7RM that has proven itself. But picked up a 1990's 700 in 30-06 a couple years ago and it seems to have promise. Thinking hard about using it this fall. But I don't have an inventory of 30-06 to carry me through further "testing" and... -
Nice place to visit, but...
Glad the wedding festivities went well. Lived there 2 LONG years. Never again. Lived in the western burbs and worked downtown. 3+ hours per day commuting was norm.- oldillini

Urinating Question
If needed, I will just fly over the rail. I have had numerous deer walk within 10 yards of the stand only 1-2 hours after duty. Now none of them were mature bucks, but the wary does didn't seem to mind. -
Tell me what tire chains to buy. Again...
I have the v-bars style as well. You can easily look up actual chain on a site such as this … Tire Chains-Best Snow Chains-TireChains.com. I have yet to use mine, but they are with me whenever I head west. Just be careful that you have adequate clearance. I have to use wheel spacers to get the...- oldillini

An unusual day of deer hunting
Congrats! That would be so cool to take a boat to your whitetail site. How large of an island is it? -
New from southern Indiana
Welcome, Cody!! Bet you are out chasing whitetails. I know I am. -
How big must a bull or buck be to mount?
I am sure you have heard it before, but size really doesn't matter. Will it be a trigger for good memories? I don't worry about impressing anyone. Heck, I did a euro of a small 6 point deer because it was my first taken with a bow and I wanted the memory.- oldillini

GMU 54 Colorado
We were in that 9,500 to 10,000 range for our camp. Daily excursions could take you another 1,000 but the year we were there the elk seemed to be dropping down a little in elevation and we were seeing them at the 10,000ish elevation. First night there we did have pretty good storm come through... -
GMU 54 Colorado
Like N2, I have hunted with an outfitter at the end (Eagle Mountain Outfitters, I believe) in 2nd rifle season. Fortunate the year (2017) I hunted there was dry and didn't need chains, just the 4x4. Chains were in the truck bed just in case. I can't remember for sure how far up it was, maybe... -
Dog Food
Can't really say which is best, but our Springer helped himself to 2# of prime rib at our Labor Day cookout. He seemed to be happy with that! LOL- oldillini

What's on the smoker today?
One beer can chicken on the smoker right now. Some days I wish the kids were still home, because I have a 16# brisket in the freezer calling to me.- oldillini
