    CO Mountain Lion Ballot Initiative: Continuous Updates

    The gas lighting regarding taking lynx would be enough for me. But whatever the reason, I'm so happy it failed. Could have a profound effect on hunting in other states that might use it as precedent.

    CO Mountain Lion Ballot Initiative: Continuous Updates

    So happy to see this. I think it's another example of the power of independent media. Meateater was a gigantic influencer on this measure. Like their style or not, they deserve tremendous credit. Far, far more people were educated about this through Meateater podcasts than all other...

    Look, short as possible is better in every way except loudness. More accurate barrel. Easier to handle in brush. More manageable with suppressor. Use your imagination to understand all the benefits. So, determine how far you want to shoot. Choose a cartridge that gets you there at the shortest...

    Cutting a barrel down

    16" still gives you plenty of velocity out to 500+ yards for a 147 ELD-M. 17" is good past 600.

    Sleeping in truck or tent

    I pee laying on my side in my sleeping bag, driving the SUV, walking along the road looking non-chalant. Pee bottle is standard camping and driving equipment. Practice makes perfect. 👍👌🍺

    Did anyone see this?

    Crazily, there was another Paul Hutchinson who did almost the exact same crime, but in England. It took 26 years and DNA to catch him. Thankfully lots of these monsters are going to be caught now that there are huge DNA registers that cooperate with law enforcement.
