    Alaska Range Dall Sheep hunt

    Wish I could do it every year. My favorite hunt. But only twice for me.

    Where is the Kifaru warranty on packs?

    Update. I called them and they said that the lifetime warranty is for the normal lifetime of the product. For a backpack they have defined that as 8 years. So it's a product lifetime, not mine. So, no warranty coverage, but they did offer a substantial discount to me for a replacement pack.

    Where is the Kifaru warranty on packs?

    I have an Kuiu Icon 5200 backpack (purchased 2013). Last week both carbon upper supports broke. I sent the warranty info to Kuiu and they denied the warranty claim, stating: "it does not fall within the coverage guidelines set forth by our Warranty Policy due to the age of the frame." Not sure...

    2022 Helicopter Rescue - Teton County Elk Hunt

    I put it in because of it's history in MASH. The orginal movie had a requirement for a song titled "Suicide is Painless" for the Last Supper scene for a faux-suicide event. The song was supposed to be "the stupidest song ever written." The lyrics were written in 5 minutes by the song author's...

    Bipod vs shooting stick

    Shooting sticks. Rifle remains lightweight and unencumbered. When sitting on a meadow the sticks are great. Good height adjustment. Also, I don't understand comments of sticks being unstable. I'm rock solid off mine. Of course, I still wrap the sling around my arm and push out my elbow for...

    My first Bull Elk - Utah

    Thanks. I hadn't planned on sleeping in my truck the night prior, but it was easy to dress and start hiking towards the bugling elk in the dark. My surprise when I pretty much stepped on a bedded cow and she just relocated about 30 yards away.

    ICF homes

    Valid concerns. I agree. Hopefully mine work fine in the future.

    ICF homes

    You mentioned a house being able to "breathe." My SIP ICF home does not breathe. It is pretty much airtight, as it should be. That's why in new construction "non-drafty" houses you install an air exchanger to handle humidity and fresh air.

    ICF homes

    I have a Timberframe with a full ICF basement and SIP walls and roof. The insulation value is outstanding. Very little needed to heat it here in Northern Minnesota. Proper bracing a must.

    Youth Rifle Options

    She's taken elk, antelope and deer with that rifle. I load the same bullet that I use with my 7mm Rem Mag, the Berger 180 VLD.

    No. You can see it in the photo. Standard off the shelf youth stock.

    Elk hunting options with 11 yr old son?

    Go for a good cow elk hunt. Many more shot opportunities. The joy of hunting early on. I think the need for scoring the size of racks should be deemphasized when starting out. It will come later.

    Youth Rifle Options

    I bought my daughter a 7mm-08. It's a great, low kicking, big game gun. It is a Browning A-Bolt II, left hand, youth model with a shorter stock. I load the same Berger 180's that I use in my 7mm Rem Mag and she is deadly with it. Very manageble kick.

    Cat

    Nice cat. I had one walk right by my boots when I was leaning back glassing while elk hunting one day.
