    6.5 elk bullet poll!

    The petals are designed to come off and to broaden the wound channel as the shank continues forward doing the penetrating.

    Calling Elk in October

    If you are finding them with location bugles, great! The whole "using a cow call" thing to bring them in is rather arbitrary. Meaning, if he answers a location bugle, how did he answer? Aggressive, non-aggressive? IF he answers a cow call, how did he answer? Aggressive, non-aggressive? If he...

    300WM Barnes TTSX 150g or 180g?

    No mention of your twist rate(?) Also, no mention that one 300WM with a 1:9 twist may shoot a 165gr well while another shoots a 200 or a 212gr better. For me, choose the bullet that you would like to try, order a dozen of them, load them up with spec'd loads and see how they fly. Choose the one...

    What days for Oregon Cascades?

    I'd choose 9/15-9/25 if I had a choice. I've hunted OR at that time and that year the bulls were definitely feeling their T levels elevate and talking more. However, I have also had bulls talking a TON on 9/7 while hunting in WA state. It is all about conditions (smoke, heat, weather in...

    Wool sock recommendations?

    Darn Tough hikers all day long. And, if you are able to put a hole in them, they have a lifetime guarantee where you send the socks with holes back and they send you a new pair. I have yet to be able to put a hole in any of mine at the sole but have put a few small holes in the upper portion d/t...

    Idaho Tag Site Already Crashed

    WTF!!!!?!?!?! I was ready to rock and attempted to sign in at 8:30 PST... closed browser, re-opened and tried again five times. Finally, at 9:14 it allowed me in... #22329... only 22328 people ahead of me! How does what they don't call a draw function like this? Absolute BS in the highest order...

    Cimarron vs 6-person tipi(?)

    Anyone buy a cimarron and regret it thinking that a 6-person tipi would have been a better option? Thanks. Erik

    Which seek tipi?

    Thanks for the feedback. First time with the floorless shelter and when looking at website and ordering all of the options aren’t apparent as far as utility and what the heck is even needed!

    Which seek tipi?

    In need of some advice… I’d like to get a seek outside 6 person tipi and stove. However, any advice as to which center pole is best, should I get factory seam sealing, which length chimney i’d need and which footprint I should think about? Thanks in advance. - Erik
