    Leaving Blackhorn 209 Loaded

    Is it worth the risk for what may be that one shot at a nice animal? Personally I want a fresh charge in my rifle. Remove the breach plug and push out the bullet and charge, you will have to clean the powder out of the breach threads.

    Best Bone Saw

    Amazon has a few options for food grade blades, another option is to wire wheel the paint off of any blade and just use it after a good cleaning.

    Pairing Garmin InReach Mini with 2 phones?

    The Inreach can be paired with multiple phones one at a time, it doesn't know who's phone it is it just knows it's pair to a phone and account. When you install the Earthmate app on the other phone sign into the Garmin account associated with the Inreach, all messages and stored numbers will be...

    Kenetrek break in?

    I've never had to break in my Kenetrek boot, just put them on and start wearing them. The rubber your referring to is the rand which is a strip of rubber that protects the leather underneath it from abrasion. Best thing you can do with new boots is oil them up and start wearing them, the oil...

    BH 209 with powder charging machines

    A Chargemaster seems like a big expense just to weight out BH209 charges if that's all your using it for. How many precharges are you going to load? I never got into the Chargemaster or the like but I use my RCBS powder thrower and digital scale to weight out 100 charges in about 15 minutes. A...

    New speed loader

    While I like the powder dispenser on this loader I will stick with the TC 4 n 1 Quickshot as I like being able to seat the bullet or ball with it. Now if they integrated a 209 primer holder into the tube and used a powder tube with a square bottom instead of the rounded bottom tubes I might be...

    Tall guy clothes hunting

    Dude I feel your pain, at 6'10" and 300 pounds nothing fits me. A few years back when Cabela's was still Cabela's I found some stuff in there Instinct line that fit and I have been babying it ever since hoping it'll last a while since none of the other clothing lines make things big enough or if...

    Skull cleaning preference question

    The method that I perfected is the simmer, pressure wash then simmer white technique. I simmer the skull for 15 to 20 minutes in Dawn dish washing liquid, I like to see the tissue on the bridge of the nose split which doesn't always happen. Once this tissue splits I pressure wash the skull...

    Forecast at Elevation

    Your only going to get weather data when you have a cell phone signal from the closest weather station which are generally close to a populated area, there is no magical way to get the weather for where you are standing on the mountain. About the best you can do is figure out what source your...

    Table surface for processing

    Folding table with plastic sheet over the top and cutting boards. I set in a chair when cutting up meat so I don't have to bend over as extending the table legs for my height would make the table way to tall for anyone else to use.

    Boning out vs not

    Only reason I would bone in the field is to cool the hind quarters. Just kind of cool at night isn't enough to cool the meat along the bone in the hind quarters. Just opening up the hind quarter and leaving most of the quarter in tact is enough to speed cooling if the day time temps are mild and...

    Determining Unit Boundary

    Walk the boundary line with your gps before season and mark it with a little flagging and natural land marks. During the hunt if you can sit on the boundary you will be better able to tell how close a cow is to it.

    Hiring an outfitter to pack elk out?

    First you would have to find an outfitter that would be willing to stop what he is doing to come pack out an elk for you. Any outfitter worth a darn will be booked with paying clients and busy taking care of them with little time left to pack out an elk for a couple hundred bucks.

    Utah Elk Dilemma…

    If you want to hunt bugling bulls the early rifle or muzzy season is best, Archery season is usually to early and the heat makes it harder. 3 years ago I dumb luck drew the early rifle in the Books with 9 points, by the hunt the day time temps had cooled into the mid 70's and the bulls were...

    Backcountry Dry Feet

    Hand warmers placed inside the boots at night sure help with some drying, the small warmers do alright but the next bigger size work even better. Probably not practical to pack in enough hand warmers for every night but it would be worth the weight to pack in enough to help dry your boots every...
