    Frontal or Quartering to Shots on Elk

    What do you think about a frontal or quartering to shot on a bull with a muzzy? Does anyone here have any first hand experience with it?

    My Remington UML Setup for CO

    This year, I decided to upgrade from my CVA Optima to something that I could use for longer range shooting (for fun, and potentially in NM, if I ever draw a tag), but also use for elk and Mulies in CO. After debating the Knight UL v. Rem UML, I decided to go with the Remington. I know many...

    Where are the big bulls?

    After focusing primarily on Mulies for the last 20 years, my brother and I have decided to try for some decent bulls. I just got back from a combined family vacation/scouting trip to Colorado. We will be muzzy hunting a new to us unit, so I wanted to try to locate some elk. I was only able to...

    Swarovski and Sig Sauer - Great Customer Service

    I recently had two great customer service experiences...one with Swaro and one with Sig. The rubber ring on one eyecup of my Swaro 15x SLC's had come loose over the last few years, and I finally lost the rubber ring. I called Swaro and sent them my serial number and mailing address...they...

    Remington UML v. Knight Mountaineer

    I have searched on here and haven't found much discussion directly comparing the Remington UML and Knight rifles...most discussions suggest going to a Knight Ultralight because the Remington is too heavy. However, I'm not concerned with the weight...both are lighter than the centerfire rifle...

    Score Estimates

    Here’s a video of a buck I was after on a recent hunt. Got to about 70 yards from him before a doe busted me. I’m trying to get better at estimating scores (not that it really matters...I stalked smaller bucks that I would have flung an arrow at). What would you estimate him to be?

    Outdoorsman's Jim White Pan Head 2.0

    Does anyone have any experience with this tripod head? Outdoorsman's has sold the original version created by Jim White for years, but recently revamped it and is selling the 2.0 version now. I'm curious how it compares to the Outdoorsman Pan Head and the Benro S2...

    Mountain House Farts

    Two years ago, I had to wash my Western Mountaineering sleeping bag because the ferocity of the MHF (mountain house farts) completely delofted the down. Last year, I switched to a quilt, and the extra ventilation seemed to save my down, but probably passed the displeasure to my brother in the...

    Glassing from another unit

    I'll be chasing Mulies in Colorado this year with my bow, and one hillside I need to glass can only be glassed from a hill in the next unit. That hill is about a mile away, and the creek dividing the two is the unit boundary. Do you think there is any problem glassing from a unit where I don't...
