    I think that your problem is the 6.28 Mb size of the file. You are going to have to chop that down quite a bit.

    Adjusting to the Elevation

    Where are you going to be at before you hike in? If anything a couple of good walks around the area that you are going to be at will help your body get acclimated to the altitude and even a couple of short hikes will help out a lot. Just remember, drink lots of water and stay away from the...

    Uploading pictures

    Way too big. I just did some test and it needs to be smaller than 0.99 Mb or 2050x2729 pixels. If you are unsure of how to resize your pictures open the picture with the Paint program on your computer. Or when the picture is open right click it and click "open with paint" Then in the...

    Best hunting boots????

    The problem with boots is that you need 10 different pairs for different circumstances from snow and ice to deserts. If I am hunting in dry country with no chance of cold and snow I'll just wear a pair of Menidl hikers. They are uninsulated but waterproof and work great. If I am out in the...

    I personally don't like the browser setup on a phone or even the newer layout on a computer but the powers to be decided that they wanted to go to this type of format so be it, it is their dime. There are some tricks that you will need to learn when using a phone that makes it easier.

    Night Vision Scope

    That's interesting that the hogs took off when they were turned on. While I haven't used them a friend used infrared lights on a hog hunt last spring and that is all they used at night. Also if you watch any of the TV shows you will see them using them also.

    Magnums-best recoil compromise?

    It is a fantastic round, and it was Roy Weatherby's favorite one out of all of the ones that he developed. I have a Ruger #1 in .270 Weatherby and plan on making it a great antelope rifle shooting 130 grain pill at 3300-3400 fps. It should be deadly on any deer, elk, or antelope.

    Magnums-best recoil compromise?

    Go with a 7mm Rem mag, slightly less powerful then the Weatherby but still has the long range reach with recoil just above a 30-06. Remember that you usually don't feel any recoil when out hunting and shooting at a animal. I shoot a .340 Weatherby and it will punish you at the bench, but...

    iPhone XS Camera

    That is one thing about phones, the cameras in every new generation is getting better and better. It is to the point now that unless you want a great zoom or a lot of special features you don't have to purchase a separate digital camera anymore, just use your phone. However the iPhone seams to...

    Meindl USA

    While they should of replied to a email even to just say no you have to figure that they are just a distributor and not a repair center. Even when Cabela's was selling them they would not repair them but evaluate them and decided if a warranty was warranted or not. This was after the Bass Pro...

    Apollo 11.....50 Years Later

    I remember back in high school where the math teachers wouldn't let you use slide rules and then once in college they even had a course on how to use them. I packed one around for a long time. I even had a short 6" one that I would keep in my shirt pocket. Then like you they ended up...
