    GETTIN OLD.......

    Keep going hunting it will keep you young. On the points, you might start looking real hard at the point situation and give up on those great units and settle for a pretty good one. 4 years ago I gave up hope hunting up in the NW corrner on a muzzle loader elk hunt. I figured that I was...

    Digital calipers...

    We got along for years with just a case gauge and no calipers. Now calipers are cheap enough that you can find them anywhere from $15 on up.

    Blaze Orange Vest?

    I used to wear a insulated reversible vest all the time but had it stolen and since then I mostly wear a uninsulated zippered sweatshirt. If it gets cold enough I just use a fairly cheap vest over the top of my warmer jackets. I've looked at some of the newer vest but I then look at the...

    GETTIN OLD.......

    10-4. Back when I was married and then dating after I got divorced I was told that I could look all I wanted to but if I touched I was dead.

    GETTIN OLD.......

    Wait until you get into your mid 60's. If I didn't hurt somewhere when I got up in the mourning I'd think that I was dead. However as the day goes on things loosen up and you feel like a 40 year old. It is a good thing that the nerves in my fingers and hands haven't left me yet or I would...

    I should let all of you know that those goats were just over the 14,000' mark on the hill.

    Tire chains

    When you chain up the front you are risking tearing things up such as brake lines and steering parts. I have always been leery when I have chained up all 4 and try to avoid it when I can. When I just chain up the rear I try and have at least a 1000 lbs in the back of the truck. This will give...

    Tire chains

    Yep it is a lot easier learning how to put them on when it is nice and dry than miserable, wet, and muddy

    Tire chains

    I should of mentioned the tensioner but don't get the spring type that they sell for tire chains. Instead get some black bungie cords. I have found that 30 inch ones work best. Hook them in a v and upside down v. They work a lot better than the spring type

    Tire chains

    You want a good cross bar set and the heavier duty the better. Some shops that sell them will take them back if you don't use them. As for where to get them, check with the shop where you buy your tires. NAPA also sells them or you can get them online at tirechains.com I believe

    RCBS Metallic Reloading Intro Kit?

    It has the scale which millions of us used before the digital ones came out. It should also include a primeing tool of some kind. You need a good reloading manual. All of the bullet manufacturer's have them along with powder manufacturer's. I would get the one to go with the bullets you plan...

    Long hauling meat

    A lot of out of state hunters that hunt here in Colorado will use a chest freezer and a generator. While in camp they will process the meat and stick it in the cold freezer and once frozen they will only run the generator enough to keep it below freezing. Then on their way home they wont need...

    My Dream Hunts List

    Hunting away from the area that you are familiar with is interesting in that you get to learn and see new country. I grew up in Utah and have hunted most of the state but we still don't just put in for the same unit year after year, we try something new. The same can be said of our dream...
