Not sure how you drew that conclusion... Colorado's governor has been very strongly advocating aggressive mask use, on a very consistent basis since this whole thing went down, and of your list above it's middle of the pack. I suspect it would be even better, but its cities are also MUCH larger...

Good points, Jim, but pretty sure the area we were in didn't allow ANY wheeled vehicles. No bicycles either. That said my main question with the smaller units is how do you get them "up"? I can see the two-man versions, but I feel like with 100-200lbs on a single-wheel version I just can't wrap...

Gah, you had to remind us.

Not a motorized one. But last year during Rifle 1 I saw some guys using a non-motorized one to pack out. It caused some grumbling at camp actually - we were hunting a Wilderness Area where wheeled vehicles weren't allowed (and we had just humped an elk of our own down 4 miles out to the parking...

My pleasure. Yes, it's great for wood-on-wood cabinet drawers too. One piece of advice. Your drawers should have plenty of weight to hold the stuff in place, but the adhesive isn't exactly VHB. Make sure your surfaces are completely dust-free before putting it on. I scrounged up a few photos I...

Sorry for the weird formatting, the site software was grabbing my link and trying to do something smart with it, but breaking the link.

I built a set of drawers like that, and had good luck with something you might want to try. Instead of drawer slides or just plywood on plywood, I used UMHW tape. I found 3" wide rolls on Amazon and applied two strips each in the cabinet part of the setup. The drawers rode on top, there was...

It depends on the bullets and loads you choose, as always. So here we have a 143gr 6.5CM against a 30-06 178gr. Fair comparison? I don't know, it's just one I grabbed online - personally I shoot a 165gr 30-06 which is even closer. But either way, there's almost no perceptible difference in...

In a group of five hunters last year, we took three elk. All of the tags filled were taken with 6.5CM. The 6.5CM is the ballistic twin of the 30-06, and delivers slightly higher energy below 200yds and slightly higher above it. If you can take it with a 30-06 (which is like the de-facto "old...

It's a good lesson to always take the Rockies seriously. I know lots of people who hit the trails with nothing more than a water bottle. But three years ago my son and I were doing some late-July elk scouting near Kenosha Pass. Temps in the parking lot were high-70's despite being at 10,000'...

The moment big game season is over I'll be basically camped near corn fields until I limit-out on pheasant.

I usually budget $300-400. I usually spend $3000 or more. It's all toys and stuff I don't need. But I enjoy it.

Nothing to take the wrong way, Tim. But the areas I hunt, the bike you could get in... (if it was allowed) but you'd never get a trailer in there on the back of it. I had this vision of 95lbs of meat in my meat-carrier-pack and trying to get on a bike... That's a movie I'd like to see :)

I regularly use a bike on logging roads and other places where allowed, and don't see why an e-bike is that different. But maybe it's because I only use it while scouting and exploring? While hunting it always seemed like a liability to me. They aren't completely silent, and let's face it...

I have a gun bearer but don't use it much. It looks so smooth in the video but it's always been a little clumsy for me. I have a soft rubber butt stock pad on my rifle that seems to get hung up a lot in the "cup" portion of the carrier, and I've found the shoulder-release clip is stiff and a...

I love all my guns, but if I was answering this week I'd say my Remington 1100 semi-auto 12ga. It has sentimental value for me - it was my first gun. It's a pain to keep clean and stove-pipes weak trap loads if you don't stay on it, so my friends like to poke fun at me for loving it. But I can't...

I did the Whole Thirty diet with my wife a few months ago and dropped pounds like crazy. But I don't necessarily recommend it. I also had no energy - I could barely get through a workout. And I won't tell you what was coming out the other end. Too many nuts in your diet isn't much better than...

I picked up an Eberlestock J34 Just One used from another member here. While I haven't used it for hunting yet (I bought it like 6 months ago) I've had it out on hikes simulating that for dry ones. I'm pretty happy with it. It seems to meet what you want? - Has a gun scabbard. Folds away when...

I got rid of 3lbs of venison last year to rave reviews in about 5 minutes after serving by cubing into 3/4" cubes, then wrapping each cube in a half strip of bacon. Hold together with a toothpick. Grill (a vegetable grate helps but not required) until the bacon is pretty crispy. They go quick...

Oh.... thanks for the reminder... I had the same note from my trip last year only I wrote it down in my brain instead of on a pad... and we know how well THAT works. :D
