    I live near Marshfield. Lived in Eau Claire for a few years. I'd be interested in an occasional pack hike. Whats a TTH?

    Non-resident Wyoming Elk 5PP's

    re-kindling an old thread here. I'm just doing a little research on 95, wondering if the author (Lonestar) ended up in 95? Any words of wisdom? I have 5 points, and will be hunting with an Wyo resident and likely wilderness area. Just trying to figure out if we want 95 or 67 or another unit...

    Nomex brush pants - Q for firefighters

    I'd agree. Skip the Nomex. I really like the Firehose pants from Duluth Trading company, or the Filson Double Tin mentioned above. The Firehose pants are durable, and have amazing pockets and belt loops.

    Outdoor Humorists...suggestions

    "Saddles to Sushi"- not really hunting and fishing, but written by an old cowboy about the changes in Jackson Hole, WY. Funny book, covers a lot of urban/rural conflicts.

    Quick humane kills.....

    Not to disagree with you- I wasn't there and you were, but for the sake of discussion: Is it possible that your hit was through the vena cavea- aka the large vein bringing return blood flow from the lower extremity back to the heart? Would be nearly the same size and in nearly the same area...

    Quick humane kills.....

    Lukem, Happy to offer some insight. As a midwesterner on this site, I read a lot and usually dont have a lot to offer. But as a firefighter paramedic, flight medic and tactical medic, you are right in my wheelhouse when we start talking trauma!

    Quick humane kills.....

    It's difficult to compare an olympic athletes performance in this case. Particularly a swimmer. Their bodies have been trained to utilize anaerobic metabolism for that brief burst of activity, whereas us normal folks (and critters) function on aerobic metabolism. The difference is utilizing...
