    What Ticks Me Off......

    Not to mention going through the drive through and not getting what you ordered and not finding out until you are back on the road. I tick people off as I sit in the drive through checking my order with the window attendent asking me to move my vehicle.

    I highly suggest that if it is too cold to let it dangle outside that you use a bucket or old coffee can and then dump it through the hole if you wish. Even the best of us have a hard time aiming at 3am in the morning. And if you don't believe me just ask your wife. On the heat in the trailer...

    I am also the type of person that likes to do things myself. But I have also found that repairing something that is broken that you got at a bargain is usually cheaper in the long run and you are not trying to put that square plug into that round hole. Even if you have a big enough hammer to...

    You may also find that after you have custom made your trailer that you could of picked up a ready built one on the used trailer market. There are a lot out there that have very little use and their owners get tired of owning something that isn't used.

    Rifle Slings

    I like the old leather military type of sling but on a lot of my rifles I have just gone to a simple 1" - 1 1/4" nylon one. I am still old school and like to wrap my arm around the sling to get a sturdier grip on the rifle when I am shooting either standing or sitting.

    Also hang them where you can see them from a distance along with what is around the area. Bears like people like to lay down and take a nap after a good feed, and they don't like to be woke up.

    What Ticks Me Off......

    I have found that as I get older it is easier to list the things that don't tick me off than the ones that do.

    It would add a little to the overall cost but some scissor jack levelers that you find on travel trailers would be fantastic for once you get to your camping spot and want to have a solid level trailer when you are in it moving around. 10 ply tires might be overkill but I would go at least with...

    Nothing beats shot placement

    The sad thing is with a double lung shot with a .22 pellet is that the animal died a slow death. Even a .22 long rifle will mushroom a little and have a bit more kinetic energy to destroy tissue. A .22 pellet only weighs around 14-15 grains where the Lr round will be 36+

    If you plan on putting in a holding tank for the waste water you would be better off raising the floor a little along with insulating it. On all the outside air coming in, get someone to take a flashlight and shine it along all the seams, and corners at night while you are outside of it...

    My caliber of choice was .340 Weatherby, but if I won it I'd take the .338 Wm

    Alaska Bound

    The rifle that I have for fowl weather is a Weatherby MkV with a fiberglass stock and stainless barrel. It survived 5 days straight of rain up in British Colombia and came out unscathed. But I still took care of it once we were back at camp and never did put it away for the night wet. But...

    Angled or straight??

    Higher power binos are great, but there are still plenty of times that you need a spotter. On my coues deer hunt my partner had some 15x Swaros that we could spot deer with but to judge their headgear we had to pull out the spotter to get a good look. Now if your binos are 40x+ then you...
