    Western state draw results

    I’d rather base my choices for later draws based on my luck (or usually, the lack thereof) in the earlier ones

    Anybody using the Aziak with bigger 56mm binos?

    Early Season Sitka AZ

    If you’re not wearing $2000 worth of sitka you might as well just stay home… Just kidding. Don’t overthink it. It’s a really pleasant time of year. I’d wear a sun shirt/core LW/ merino hoody and a windshirt as needed (softshell or fleece would work too). Nothing special on the pants. I’d keep a...

    Considering switching from outdoorsmans to clamp/strap connector

    I’ve been using outdoorsmans for a good while now, but I’ve been thinking of switching to an Aziak/RRS style. (I use the post with an arca adapter and a couple different arca-based non-outdoorsmans heads) Outdoorsmans is great quality, made near me, and I have no complaints while sitting behind...

    The great sock debate 2024

    Injinji liner socks plus whatever weight makes sense according to the boot and season, but usually Kirkland 4/$20 trail socks. Never any hot spots unless your boots are too small or wildly oversized. And way less need for “designer” $30-$40+ socks

    Colorado Commissioner Debate

    The governors husband is an hardcore animal rights activist. It would’ve been more surprising if he didn’t pick anti-hunters. Hunting and fishing don’t contribute enough economically, when compared to other forms of outdoor recreation, to force him otherwise

    Anyone using a Whites?

    Great info, thanks!

    Anyone using a Whites?

    I’m not crazy about them because I’ve had “misfires” including on game because the cap wasn’t firmly seated enough with finger pressure with a whites. If cocked again that would seat the cap on better and fire as expected. This wouldn’t happen every time but it’s more likely when you need it...

    I Like my Crispis, but I want a wider toe box

    Crispi Summit in wide should work. Colorado is very similar in appearance and fit but stiffer if I remember correctly

    Anyone using a Whites?

    I know some units with easy draw muzzleloader tags in NM, AZ and CO so I’ve been planning to take the smokepole more seriously. This what I’m looking for in a gun: 1) Shoots well in a load that’s legal for all 3 (loose powder, no sabots) 2) 50 caliber (CO elk) 3) Drilled/tapped for scope...

    AZ Game and Fish Commission proposes limited muzzle loader and archery seasons.

    Our pack of inbred mutts aren’t quite as much of a problem as the grey wolf introductions, or so it seems to me

    AZ Game and Fish Commission proposes limited muzzle loader and archery seasons.

    It’s all part of the plan 1) take away muzzleloader scopes 2) destroy endangered red wolves and ungulate populations by introducing grey wolves 3) force everyone into veganism

    AZ Game and Fish Commission proposes limited muzzle loader and archery seasons.

    They should just follow NM or CO on the muzzleloader restrictions instead of complicating things and adding another week of pressure with another season. Same with the bows. I’m guessing it’s either 1) another week or two of extra pressure on the animals, or 2) OTC trad bow hunters crowding...

    My gear/pack layout from base layers to binos

    Interesting to hear a well refined perspective that’s not weight weenie UL or head to toe ‘whatever my sponsors gave me’ 👍

    How rare is a 200 inch mule deer

    They’ve transplanted bucks from the kaibab to other units?

    DOPE not matching Ballistics Calculator

    DOPE not matching Ballistics Calculator

    7 PRC with 160gr should be a plenty flat cartridge. No way it’s dropping that much. Even though ammo box FPS is unrealistic 10” drop from 100-200 would imply muzzle velocities below 2000 fps You said it returns to zero at 100 with expected POI? What size groups are you getting (both in moa and...

    DOPE not matching Ballistics Calculator

    Do I understand this right? You’re zeroed dead on at 100 yards and making 1.25 clicks at 200 your impacts were 5” low (~2.5 moa) yet you had to adjust up 5.75 moa more or overall to bring POI to bullseye?
