    Thanks, all! As above -- I'd like to get my money's-worth for the baggage fees, but I don't want to upset the TSA.

    Has anyone had trouble with having gear (pack, boots, etc.) in a gun case with firearms while going through airports? Planning a trip on Delta (domestic) soon.

    Help with choosing stock

    The point about “by the time you spend $600” is not lost on me ... the gun doesn’t need to be weatherproof ... it would just be a project that would add some excitement to the waiting period for the hunt. But I think it could use a different LOP. Getting scoped is never a good look.

    Help with choosing stock

    I am planning a mountain goat hunt near saltwater in October 2021 ... and still choosing which weapon to take. I have an ultralight Roger M77 in .308 ... would be nice to take, as it was my (late) father‘s gun ... but if i did that, it needs work. in addition to cerakoting the metal, I’d think...

    Horse Hunting Solo

    If I draw what I’m after, I’ll probably do this again this year ... but I’ve had a horse go back to the trailer leaving me in the wilderness before ... kind of disrupts the hunt. So I’ll be considering other ways to get there. consider options ... two horses makes a lot of sense. and...

    We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem

    No one is talking about "flatlining" cases ... all scenarios consider herd immunity (i.e. >70%) to be the eventual outcome. The ONLY difference is if we overwhelm the system or not. Disruptions (economic or morbidity/mortality rates) are both very difficult to predict -- "getting it just right"...

    How long does it take to break down an elk in the field?

    Cnelk .. yep, true that. Sticky. I think it’s best to just move slowly and deliberately. Skin from the hoof up, and slide the bag up as you go

    Kodiak Island outfitter help

    Hunted Raspberry Lodge in 2018. Great operation, though that year the hunting was tough. Managed to fill tags in short time and got out before a big storm. But good place , great food, dry cabins.

    Cody Carr's Hunting Adventures Review

    I hunted with Kenny in Wyoming last year. Met through a friend, and I didn’t know him from Adam until then. He’s got this Southern accent that’s a bit odd, but other than that I’d say we left as friends. The outfitter’s response seems pretty strange compared to the Kenny I met. The guy I...

    Who's Elk?

    Years ago, I shot a whitetail buck. (The largest I ever shot ... 170” class) . It was a bad hit. Muzzleloader season. Luckily, it ran toward my buddy’s stand. He shot it. Also a non lethal hit. I ended up killing it but we both had slugs it him. Long story short: his mount is in my buddy’s...
