I would reach out to Larry at Pristine Ventures to talk about his ultralight sled system he uses in Alaska for hauling large loads between rivers.
May allow an option (at times) to get your load off of your back and onto a sled.
Fascinating to watch this dialectic exercise.
Yes, some older hunters are dismissive of younger hunter without cause. AND some younger hunters are dismissive of the hard earned knowledge of some older hunters. Both exhibit disrespect.
Advances in technology and knowledge are inevitable and...
I'm back in the land of quarterbore ownership, and am looking for some load data for Barnes 100 and 115 tsx and Hornady 117sst using Viht N560 in 25-06.
If anyone has any info to share, thanks in advance.
They were made of the blood and sweat of Patrick Smith mixed with carbon and formed by the pressure of his will.
Actually, wood/carbon composite like a hockey stick.
Are they the same dimensions as the composite stays in a Duplex (i only over had aluminum stays in duplex frames)?
A good clean...
Not too sure. I noticed some weird load shifting and when i got back to the truck the one stay had cracked in half. Only had about 30lbs in it (nowhere near the loads it had hauled in its life) so no clue.
Much to my Wife's dismay it will hang in a place of prominence in my cave. I have already...
Congrats on the 458!
I was really lucky as a youngster that a bunch of crusty old guys let me shoot their big bore rifles.
In hind sight i think it was a curiosity to see how much recoil a little fat 11 year old could handle but there is something that still makes me smile today when i hear...
Well, after a lot of years, miles and pack-outs my beloved Kifaru Bikini frame broke.
I tried a lot of other pack set ups over the years, but i always came back to that frame.
It didn't owe me a single mile more, but damn it was steady companion and it met my needs.
Ah well. The only constant...
Wow.
What a piece of history to have. Niedner made SPECTACULAR single shot rifles, and i have no doubt that the rifle you have it on will earn it's keep.
Too bad it wasn't chambered for 25-06, but the 6.5-284 is pretty cool too.:cool:
And no, the metallurgy of that barrel should not be of any...
Wrong bullet for trying to smash through shoulders. They are designed to expand at slow (1300fps) velocity and as such have a thinner jacket.
If you don't hit big bone, they are phenomenal performers (especially the 190gr/.30 cal). I have a recovered bullet from a large bodied WT buck that was...
Yeah, these four rams moved out the main area last year with a mature ram (nine year old) leading them. I'll be able to tell who is who when they return next summer.
If they don't get exposed to Movi or Bluetongue they only have to dodge the plentiful cougars and the odd wolf so survival is...
