    One of the 10 new Colorado wolves is dead.

    At least colorado has more open terrain than we do which should make for shot opportunities. They are very hard to hunt here in the jungle and poison and traps are about the only successful way to slow them down.

    The problem is the way they're counted. They measure the "breeding pairs" packs as if two adolescent wolves never mated when mom and dad weren't looking. When the breeding pair numbers get close, one of the alpha's gets killed and suddenly that pack size means nothing because it's stagnant...

    DIY RokStok in maple

    Poured in are fine. Just make sure you do not have contact with the screws. The Hollands are awesome because you can pull the bottom metal but not disturb the action.

    Neck Tension

    The collet self centers every time. If your neck thickness is off, the mandrel will still be in the center of the center. A bushing will push the thickness to the inside. A expander will expand the thinnest or easiest to move material first.....and collets don't move the brass as much as the...

    You must not have paid attention to Washington, Idaho, Montana or Wyoming.....they'll just bring more and say some bullshit about breeding pairs are the necessary metric.

    One of the 10 new Colorado wolves is dead.

    You guys have problems. The best thing you can hope for is the numbers explode and you can hunt them. What's going to happen though is that they'll stay JUUUUUUUST under some bullshit threshold that will keep moving and they will stay protected and have agents ready to pounce on concerned...

    Seek Courthouse

    The trick for drying gear is to tie a few prussiks to the poles at varying heights and hang the weight at the poles. You can span the two poles to pin the sleeves and such.....or better yet, use the prussiks to hang a pecker pole across the two....then you can load the thing to death and not...

    Peak refuel fail

    I do my own meals and typically will do morel and elk stroganoff, bear sausage sweet and sour rice, elk carne asada....it's a bit of a learning curve but it gives my wife something to fiddle with. We do a lot of fruits and vegetables too. Simple canned beans with seasoning become crunchy salty...

    Peak refuel fail

    I have a freeze drier and the quality of the bags makes a difference in flavor. I don't get mtn house shelf life, but I also don't put anything extra for salt or preservatives. The size of the food pieces makes a big difference as well.

    I just started my dummy to throat the 6x284. This should be fun. That's a 300wsm and 243 for comparison.
