    URGENT: Calling all diesel mechanics

    In that case, I would also run some Sea Foam or other fuel system cleaner through it.

    URGENT: Calling all diesel mechanics

    Did you get it figured out? How cold was it? Sounds like a gel issue in you fuel system, particularly in the filters, fuel pump, or injector lines. Get some #1 diesel to add to the #2 you already have. The company that I use for fuel delivery to my tanks here does a winter blend of #1 and #2...

    Carbon remover brass cleaning

    I find that an Ultrasonic cleaner does wonders for removing carbon buildup, outside as well as inside of cases, and only a fraction of the time that a traditional media tumbler takes...maybe 30 mins at most. After the Ultrasonic, my cases go into the the old school media tumbler for a nice polish.

    CO early rifle hunt

    They're up there, but not in comparison to the numbers of what is roaming around town, haha.

    CO early rifle hunt

    Congrats! I had this tag this year as well. I had my goals set high for a 190-200" buck, and this particular hunt, in the unit just isn't what it used to be, unfortunately. While I was successful, and proud that my hard work paid off with a respectable 4x4, I was pretty disappointed, that as...

    Beef & Pork Fat

    Do 20% with the bacon ends. Once you have an elk burger or meatloaf made with this mixture, you probably won't ever want to go back to one made with elk and beef fat/pork fat.

    Beef & Pork Fat

    What others have said. I get my beef and pork fat from a local place that raises all organic meats. I'm not one of those people that will not eat something if its not "certified organic", but I will say, their fat looks much better than the stuff I used to get at the grocery store. It is much...

    Powerbelt aerolite 300

    From what I can tell by looking into the Scorpion bullets is that they are only offered in a sabot. OP said he was coming here to Colorado to hunt elk and sabots are illegal during the ML season. Unfortunately, those bullets are not an option.

    Powerbelt aerolite 300

    As a clarification to my first post: I missed that the OP was asking about Aerolites, and thought he was talking about the Aerotips. The poor results on elk that I had were with the copper plated 348 grain Power Belts, both Aero Tip and Hollow Point.

    Powerbelt aerolite 300

    I was looking for a bit more velocity and flatter trajectory out of my rifle, so opted for the the lighter 250gr Hammers and 247gr Hollow Points. As I mentioned, they both shoot the same for me. The 300gr Hammers also shoot pretty well for me too, but really, it only came down to my personal...

    Powerbelt aerolite 300

    I used to shoot those bullets on elk. The first year I hunted ML elk, I dropped a large bodied bull in its tracks with one shot I figured, "hey, this is great, I like these bullets". In the years to come after that, using the same load, I lost a couple of bulls. On another year, I had a bull...

    Montana muzzleloader season

    Exactly. What I've gathered from this thread is "change is scary" and "if you don't like it, go hunt in another state" :rolleyes:

    Processing cost?

    OP, is there any chance that your buddy took his elk to a butcher that normally does domestic meat processing? If so, maybe the butcher added on the cost for the time of having to disinfect all his equipment, cooler, etc. Processors cannot go back and forth between domestic and wild meat or...

    I'm torn on Colorado prop 114.

    A state against higher taxes, but still goes blue for that dipshit with a horrible tax plan and can hardly form a sentence that makes sense. Sorry, I digressed off the subject...thats a topic for another thread. Carry on.

    I'm torn on Colorado prop 114.

    Prop 114 is still "too close to call" Last I heard, it was slightly in favor of passing. This should have NEVER been a voter issue. Too many liberals in this state that vote based on their feelings. I should have been left up to the state game biologists and the simple fact that wolves are...

    Montana muzzleloader season

    This argument can be made for archery too. Speaking from my experience here in Colorado, I've found so many archery wounded, lost and wasted elk that I've lost count. My particular unit had always been an OTC unit for archery elk (it changed this year to a unit you have to draw an archery tag...

    Boot Blankets/Insulators

    My thoughts are that while boot blankets may help cut down on your feet getting wind chilled while sitting in a cold spot, it really comes down to lack of movement/circulation that will make your feet cold.

    Dope Card for rifle hunting

    I laminate mine now, but before I bought a little office laminator, I'd used clear contact paper to seal my number chart from the elements. Taped to the stock with some super 88 electrical tape.
