I shoot the No Excuses 50 cal 460gr bullet. They shoot great, and have great weight retention. I have shot 5 elk with them, one bull went about 40 yards, the other elk went less than that.
I used to shoot 295 gr power belts…I shot a cow with them, and never found her.
The main point of my post was to draw attention to the fact that there are companies out there that are financially supporting organizations that are fighting to take away the activities that we all like to do, ie. hunting, fishing and trapping.
Organizations like the HSUS, ASPCA, PETA are...
I’ve never really thought too much about this before, but saw a tv commercial the other day from Subaru stating they are the largest corporate donor to the ASPCA.
That got me thinking…The ASPCA is similar to other animal ‘rights’ companies like the HSUS, PETA, etc…
All of which are strongly...
As BAKPAKR said, get a wolf tag, reduced bear tag, and a lion tag.
It would be good of you to consider joining the “ Foundation for Wildlife Management” too! Your membership fee goes towards keeping the wolf population in check, for folks that like to hunt big game here in Idaho.
To be clear, my post was not questioning if LO is being compensated by YouTube. But, to address your point, just because a person is affiliated with a 501C3, does not mean that they do not draw a salary. There are lots of 501C3’s that have regular full time employees eg. “Rocky Mt elk...
I like their videos, but I find it ironic that they are spreading the word of god all while filming in a wilderness area, which is illegal and lawless which is considered a sin.
I have a pair of Schnees hunter 2’s. I’ve had them for about 10 years. There was little to no break in for them when they were new and are still going strong! The downside to insulated boots without a removable liner is they will take forever to dry out in a tent.
I second the Schnees hunter 2 in a 13”. They are comfortable all day long and even if the snow is deeper than the boots, hardly any snow goes down the boot.
Overall the pack is in fairly good condition. No blood stains and meat was never packed in the bag. There is a small wear mark ~1” long on both hip belts. The wear mark is only through the camo shell and does not go into the pockets. The last picture shows pine pitch that comes with the pack...
I shoot musket caps that are made in Germany. I have never had a misfire with them. I picked them up at a local big box sporting goods store. Check the package and make sure you don’t buy any that say “For re-inactment use”. I like the musket caps over #11 caps mostly due to the size of them...
I also have a disc extreme and shoot 80grains of 777 ffg along with a “No Excuses” 465 grain bullet. These bullets are all lead and perform very well. I can shoot a 2-3 inch group at 100 yds open sights. The bullets are top notch. I believe they are coming out around 1300fps. More powder was not...
