    AK Moose 2024

    Yes, I have read warning reports on this same potential issue, but I have also seen responses that suggest for this particular S&W ti revolver, that the 'caution' is a bit exaggerated. So, you had it happen to your 44 personally? Obviously, I have some trial and error testing to do on mine...

    I have the S&W 396 Airlite Ti Mountain Lite... I'll have to dig up load capacity recommendations.

    Beast hunting muleys

    Lot of unknown variables contribute to travel patterns and what you can/cant get away with. I don't think there's a general rule related, but my experience has shown that they often do the "same" things but slightly different, day to day. In the high country (above treeline) the bucks can be...

    AK Moose 2024

    Is a 5 round, 44 special revolver too 'small' or underpowered for a AK backcountry carry gun?

    DIY Colorado mule deer 2025.

    With that many points, you should be supremely interested in what CPW decides this spring with the next 5 year season structure. It is my observation that deer population numbers and buck-to-doe ratio's around the state are relatively strong (with exception of hard hit areas from winter 2023)...

    CO earlier and later seasons

    Early Sept season has the better weather (generally) and un-pressured goats. That's an advantage. The later Sept season is only a couple weeks later, so in my opinion, not much extra hair growth. Maybe comparing first day of 1st season with last day of 2nd season, there's time to see a greater...

    Colorado GMU 181/18 update?

    That's a shame... in the early 2000's, it was still a pretty decent place to elk hunt, even though it was already starting to get busy. I killed my first archery bull in 18 and a couple more soon after. I hope the area returns to health, like many burn areas generally do. The overcrowding though...

    2024 AK Moose Prep

    I'm working through plans for my first AK moose adventure in 2025, and I thoroughly appreciate all the 'thought experiments' this thread and others like it on this site have given me, as I work through logistics.

    Part 2 of Alaska Moose Hunt

    Awesome videos! Watching video's like this, while waiting for my own 2025 AK adventure, only adds fuel to the fire!

    2024 Elk Hunt Gear

    In my opinion, there's a lot that you can do without on a backcountry hunt, but also a lot of small things that can make the experience more enjoyable. Outside of all the normal necessities, a couple "must have extras" for me; duck tape or gear tape, bow repair tool, boot gaiters, lightweight...
