Very sorry to hear of your loss. It’s painful enough to lose a close family member, but especially hard when he’s also your Best Friend! Prayers for strenght for You and Your Family! memtb

Same here, would love to learn .....then learn it again tomorrow! :ROFLMAO: Old age sucks! Maybe, the survival techniques could be placed as a “sticky”, so the methods could be accessed for all time! memtb

I am so amazed at the naivety of some people! Perhaps a world history lesson is in order......confiscation, incredible taxation or a combination of the two is coming. It may not be on January 21st., but large incremental steps will soon thereafter begin. A few billion $ dollars of lost taxes...

I started slowly stockpiling “all things “ to needed maintain a semi-comfortable lifestyle, including my area of residency, during the Jimmy Carter years. It was a slow but steady process! I somewhat empathize with those just now realizing that “life’s path can be a bit rocky”! Living without...

I like the upper end quality of Miendl’s. Miendl produces different boots for various types of use. From casual to mountain expedition grade. They’re not cheap......but, quality seldom is! memtb

Over the years, I have found 2 bullets in elk that failed to kill the animal. Both were of smaller caliber ( a .270 and a .224 or .243 as I didn’t examine closely) cup and core, both where expanded but failed to penetrate to vitals. I will not consider a shot where velocities have...

Actually, that was a “tongue in cheek” comment. About the only time I use magnum primers, is with ball powders or high capacity magnum cases! memtb

Very nice bull! Appears to be quite heavy horned! Congrats! memtb

Western (Wyoming) weather update....clothing related. Our season opened 11/1, we’re camped @ 7000 feet , the morning lows for the last two mornings were 30 and 27. Today’s high will be around 70. As I type ( linked to cell phone) we’re sitting @7500 feet. I’m down to a tee shirt and wishing I...

My wife and I were just discussing wheter or not it would be a record. I’m guessing it may be.....pretty early to get this cool! These temperatures are the reason that I started this thread.....many visitors to the Rockies, cannot fathom the potential temperature swings we can see here...

I thought this may be a good place to post this. Many questions are asked pertaining to.....what equipment, sleeping bags/clothing ect., are suggested for a western hunt. Many cannot appreciate the temperature extremes we can enjoy. This is only late October, and our home is only at 4200 feet...

Colorado, Heck.....you could only find a cub? :p Seriously.....that’s a beautiful bear. Probably, my biggest fantasy since I was in my early teens! 👍 memtb

Daggum nice deer! Congratulations to your wife......and to you for “marrying” well! 😁 memtb

Darn nice deer! Better than anything I’ve taken in years! Congratulations!!!👍 HOWEVER, we need a story .....including rifle, cartridge, bullet, range, ect! Inquiring Minds! 😉 memtb

Good Luck on your first Mule Deer hunt, wishing you success. And, it appears that pne of your photos is facing west.....if so, and you could magnify the image enough, you could see my place! But, it would take a lot of magnification! :giggle: Were any of those photos taken from Cold Springs...

For myself, I guess it goes back to around the mid-60’s. I was starting to read a lot of hunting stories in Outdoor Life and any hunting/gun publication I could get my hands on. My reading continued into the early 70’s especially anything by the late Elmer Keith. I knew that I had to hunt Alaska...

Not sure from photos.....but, possibly a moose with slight case of loose bowels. ! memtb

I agree 110%. I’ve mentioned this several times on a long range hunting forum. I could’ve insuled their mothers, and received a warmer reception! :eek:Many of these folks have the uncanny ability to telepathically communicate with the animal....knowing what the animal will do before the...

Scott, For my wife and I, we’re both shooting cartridges that have good ballistics and plenty of energy well beyond outpr self imposed range limits. Wiyh ideal conditions, I set my limit @ 600 yards, my wife is more comfortable with a 500 yard limit. Nether one of us have taken game at those...

Not much I can offer except..... from the large parking area (some campers) go west across the large meadow. The fairy steep timbered ridge has/had a pretty good bit of elk sign. If you continue over the ridge, you get into some really pretty country. That area is also accessible from the...
