    Mountain Goat Books?

    No idea which states allow which electronics anymore. But i did forget it was alaska being discussed not lower 48 where tag allocation is quite different.

    Mountain Goat Books?

    Im no expert but have some experience. Idk that you need to read that much to harvest one. It would be interesting but even 20 minutes of physical preparation would be more helpful. Its not a i giant rabbit hole to go down into with studying. Its not like an elk where theres almost a science to...

    Looking for a Utah Summer Bear Guide/Outfitter Recommendation

    Ive used shane scott outfitting twice for elk. He’s got guys all over the state. He seemed professional to deal with. Guy he set me up with was very professional not a yahoo. Ive got no reason not to call him first every time I need a guide in Utah.

    Riley stoves vs Four dog stoves

    Only used the steel four dog. It has performed the exact same at 4k as it has at 11k. The fuel wood quality is different. But stove itself does not operate any better or any worse. It always draws better with door closed.

    CO earlier and later seasons

    I assume we’re talking billies. Theres nothing wrong with early season coats. Nobody but you and your hunting buddy would ever know the difference once its hanging on the wall. I promise you will not care about the coat if you harvest one. You will be so excited. There is no disappointment...

    Cartridge for youth

    Its a ridiculously long read that will steal way too much time you can never get back. Mostly a mind numbing read. Grown men theorizing and arguing about calibers or ballistics is always nonsense. May as well argue politics. Just avoid it. Its a silly topic and thread. 243 is great for...

    Dealing with crimped primer vs buying new brass

    Dillon swager isnt the cheapest but its easy to use. Dont be bothered by the crimped brass especially if you enjoy reloading. Its another step to perfect and enjoy.

    Manufacturer supported ammo forecasting

    I think gun dorks like you all, and me too, forget that not everyone is like us caught up in fps and caliber arguments or newest or most interesting chamberings. Theres a lot of fudds out there. Im not convinced theyre buying into the same intrigue we may. They get calibers for ammo they sell...

    Tentipi Safirflex 15 Tent Review

    For 2 guys, did the size 15 seem like overkill? How many cots do you think you could fit comfortably? I think a 9 is fine for 2 cots and a stove and small woodpile and boots and clothes. With 3 cots and a stove its doable but its too cramped to be convenient.

    WTB Looking for 270 WSM Brass

    Have not seen unfired brass on shelves in few years but started seeing boxes of loaded in stores. Cabelas. Scheels. Its better than nothin.

    Kimber Hunter Alternatives?

    Fit and finish. They're in 2 different classes IMO. The superlight action is “gritty” feeling. Its not smooth by comparison but it works fine. It could be better, it could be closer to their other stuff or that kimber. The stock is so-so. The action obviously fits in the stock but its not a...

    Spiral fluted barrels

    I was being a wise-A about the rattle can paint job. I thought the other guy was joking too. I had no idea you could actually do that. Some of the cerakote jobs or most all hydro- dip jobs are ridiculous.

    Carrying A Handgun At 19?

    Mtn lions follow people all the time. Most of the time we just dont know it. Theyre cats it's what they do, they stalk things. Theyre not doing it to eat us. Theres way easier meals in their diet that they're familiar with. If you have a rifle you're already well prepared. Its not a dumb idea...

    Spiral fluted barrels

    After you get the fluting done what do guys do to the newly machined surface areas? Do you get it cerakoted or blued again?
