    New Elk Hunter Advice GMU 6

    This is a great thread. How'd it go this year OP? I just got back. Couldn't handle the temps this year in NP and packed it up after just 3 days. Too cold for me. Heard maybe 2 shots in three days, and didn't lay eyes on anything.

    Best 12 gauge ammo for Pheasant?

    I hear that. I did look for something with a larger load but that's all they had. Just glad I have a box "in stock" now. I'm looking really hard at this Boss stuff now. Bismuth , though lead free is not required at the WIA spots I go to, seems to be some good stuff. Too many options nowadays!

    Best 12 gauge ammo for Pheasant?

    Stopped by Cabelas to see what they had in stock. No FastLead in 5 shot, they had it in 4 shot though. I ended up with the 1500fps 5 shot for just a few bucks more than the FastLead. If I see FastLead in 5 or 6 shot at some point, I'll grab that to try too. The 1500fps Federal stuff was...

    Pheasant ammo doesn't exist

    Old thread, I know but I'm curious about this as I'm new to hunting and have only hunted pheasant a handful of times. Why a lighter shot in early season? Is it because they aren't fully feathered up?

    Best 12 gauge ammo for Pheasant?

    Thanks for the reply. While I'd love a dog, nearest land to hunt pheasants is hours away so I can't justify the cost, or responsibility of owning a hunting dog and the training that comes with it.

    Right on, thank you. What kind of shell are you using? lead, steel, bismuth? Wish I had a dog. I just walk like an idiot all day and hope to flush one or two!

    Best 12 gauge ammo for Pheasant?

    Hey guys, Just wondering what you guys like to shoot at pheasant with? I've gone the steel route, the lead route, been thinking of trying that Kent Bismuth stuff, but it's pretty spendy. Just looking for ideas of what the general consensus is for Pheasant up in CO? 4 shot, 5 shot, 6 shot...

    This is amazing. Gluten destroys me and gluten free dehydrated meals are not cheap. Any vids you can recommend for getting started on this?

    Are you guys sick of tipping?

    Ummm.... I think it would actually change for the better and service levels would rise. Instead of essentially begging for extra money by providing good service, imagine if your server was making 70k a year..... If service sucks, they lose their job, and someone else comes on for 70k a year...

    Why cardio ain't enough for the backcountry

    I *think* Rinella does hit the weights pretty frequently, he looks pretty strong too, though skinny. Not sure about Newberg, guy is just a beast I guess!
