    Anybody Ditch the Bubble Level?

    A bubble level in the mountains shooting on slopes is a must. i can't believe how canted my crosshairs will look on sidehill when my bubble is level. I hear a lot of horror stories with goats and my guess is most of those are due to rifle out of plumb.

    Diaphragm call with dome?

    I use regular flat ones, but I also have a wide pallet and struggle to use the narrow frame. Wide frames I sound great on. In my opinion the dome has more to do with selling to people, then calling elk. They make no real sound difference for me.

    Cheaper Lithium trolling motor batteries?

    I’ve heard you can’t charge lithium’s if they are cold below 32*f, which has held me back from getting them, but when I need new batteries I’ll look at upgrading

    Elk experiences with 6.5 PRC and 156 EOL

    I am switching back to 147 Eldm's after the bull I killed this year with the 156 bergers out of my PRC. I shot the bull at 475, hit the bull center of mass about 5" back from the crease. exit was center of mass in the crease. so about as good as shot as you could get. I am pretty confident...

    2007 Chevy Silverado Won't Turn Over

    If it's the same as mine, there is a ground on the back passenger side of the engine. this is the main ground for the computer/ ecm. see if that is still intact. by jumping the negative to frame it won't show because it is the ground wire directly to the ecm.

    2007 Chevy Silverado Won't Turn Over

    I had the benefit with my FIL having access to the GM service accout. i'd google for connector endviews for your truck. do you have a car code reader? when my ground went bad the code reader would not work, might be a quick check for you.

    Spotting your shots

    I think the most underrated thing in spotting impacts is stock designs. you need a negative comb so the stock is directly in line with the barrel. if your stock is below the centerline of the rifle it will create a moment arm and jump. very few factory rifle have a negative comb. gunwerks...

    Shot bull. Having a hard time finding him.

    A little late but try using your nose. Get downwind of where you think he might have died and start sniffing. Usually really easy to smell a dead bull if the winds right. I will say too. If it’s a good hit in thick timber they typically don’t run to far before bedding up. I personally really get...

    In field bow repair kit

    Maybe something at the truck, but I've never carried anything in the field. if i have something come loose or have to do a field repair i don't think id trust shooting it at an animal. seems like extra weight.
