Thanks everyone. Jim we weren't to far apart.

We got back last Monday from our 2019 Colorado muley hunt. Two of us went, myself and Dean, the friend I always hunt with on the destination hunts It was a grind of a hunt but turned out successful in the end. We scouted the unit for 4 days mid-summer. We saw few deer but learned a lot of...

Thanks everyone.

Last minute 2nd season CO buck 26” 3x3 153”

We traded for a 2019 Ranger 1000 with a cab. It's better in almost every way than the 900's I think after running it for about 1500 miles so far. The only downside I have seen is with the taller stance and 27" tires it is a little tippier feeling on side hills. Other than that it's much...

Check out my Midway reviews on the 180 E tip. I hope they bring it back, shot great for me and killed moose and whitetail well. Accubonds are great too, probably a shade better terminal performance on elk or smaller game. Bigger frontal mushroom and a bit more velocity. E tips penetrate deeper...

I like the Kuiu gloves best of what I've tried. The old Peloton 200 is my favorite glove. It's more wind resistant than the thinner Sitka gloves I've tried. I use them for a lot of hunting including upland birds and I shoot trap in them when it's cold. Extreme cold I wear them inside my Kuiu...

Headed out tomorrow to see if the scouting trip pays off. Wish me luck!

I had 3 of the Leupold VX-6 scopes that had issues with repeated dialing. I sent them to Leupold and sold them when they returned. I do like Leupold scopes when not using them as dialing scopes. I have several with the Duplex, Varmint Hunter, or B&C reticle that work fine at normal ranges. I...

I have Kennetrek boots so I’ve always used Kennetrek wax.

Havent found anything like that. Kryptek has a decent one I saw once. I use a light orange aglow vest over my normal layers. Nothing fits my hiking layers and over a thick puffy much better than that. Sometimes when I’m not hiking I use an old orange Carhardt hoody I cut the sleeves off. The...

Thanks everyone. I guess I'll be giving them a try on the muley hunt. The E tip bullets work well, but I saw a whitetail run about 120 yards without leaving any blood I could find after taking one through the lungs. He just sprinted off and died on his feet, but that could be a problem in the...

Good luck, get that pack bloody!

I just came in from trying these through my Rifles Inc 300 win mag. Results were very promising, I shot 3 groups 3 shots each at 100 yards. I let the barrel cool for an hour between groups. 8 of the 9 shots would have gone under 1/2", the ninth still stayed under 1". The odd shot was my...

I'd give the 90gr Accubond a try first.

I like straight. I use mine quite a bit from a window mount scouting whitetail around home though. Also I primarily use a spotter just for evaluating game already spotted and find the straight faster to get on an animal with. I have a Kowa 554 compact spotter. I use binos off a tripod for...

Heck of a buck, congrats!

I've shot a lot of animals with a 140gr bullet at around 3000fps. No matter if it's shot from a 6.5, 270, or 7mm they don't go far. That performance level is my personal minimum on elk. Not my ideal, but my minimum. It does the job excellent if my shot placement and shot angle are right...

Definitely. The larger top to boil water or set a small skillet on is nice, but the burn time is not going to be long. I tried putting some un-split 3" rounds of pine on the coals in my XL stove when I was first using it and they did not burn well. It seems to be much better with split wood...

I have several tarps from Kifaru and Seekoutside. They are all great, nothing wrong with either company. The big shelter me and my buddy bought together is a Seek 8 man tipi. I don't think you will go wrong with either, just pick the size you want and buy it. On stoves I personally prefer a...
