    Adjusting to the Elevation

    Drink lots of water. Drink lots of water. Drink lots of water. 1st day you should go slow and take it easy and try not to loose your breath much. Dont be my buddy that I had to take to steamboat ER in 2016. He though he was going to have a heart attack and we where miles from the truck...

    Best hunting boots????

    I destroyed a pair of Danner Elk hunters in a very short period of time. Not to mention they leaked like a sieve from day 1. It was a shame because they where a really comfortable boot and fit my foot well.

    Citric Acid

    I never used the stuff but I always wondered if it tainted your meat. Anyone know that at least?

    Magnums-best recoil compromise?

    I should note that in my 300 WSM I shoot 150 grain Silvertips. The recoil is a lot less with this grain bullet than the 180's Normally, they dont go the whole way through an animal. I have pulled several out of deer shot between 200 and 400 yards. I memory serves me correctly, the bullet I...

    Night Vision Scope

    I will look into those more for sure. I though about just using a flood spotlight attached to my shotgun barrel and getting one of those Leupold thermal devices to check the bait pile every couple minutes. Then once they all come in its flick the light on and bang. Problem if I need the pigs at...

    Magnums-best recoil compromise?

    My 300 WSM has a muzzle brake. Recoil is comparable to a .243 maybe less. It is VERY loud though. And I'm pretty confident I could kill an elk at 500 yards with it.

    I see your link. I know a couple guys that tried those and the hogs took off when it came on.

    Night Vision Scope

    Thought about trying this one. My shots will be under 100 yards. Probably more like 50 yards.

    Night Vision Scope

    Can anyone recommend a low cost night vision scope? Less than $1,000. I realize that is not going to get me much but I cant justify spending 4,000$ on a thermal scope. I have about 30 hogs on my deer lease that are very unruly and are causing a lot of havoc. Its time to act accordingly. I...

    Which state has the best opportunities and draw odds for Resident Hunters

    You are probably right. I can only attest to Nome, Kotzebue, Anchorage, or Barrow. I flew around in choppers for 14 hours a day 7 days a week in those places and I can tell you those places didn't have much game per square mile....Very little actually. Although, I did see 6 bull moose in the...

    Which state has the best opportunities and draw odds for Resident Hunters

    Tru'er words have never been spoken about hunting Alaska. I worked there for a summer and would never consider living there permanently. You dont walk out the back door and hunt. You go on a couple hunts a year. The rest of the year, you sit around and drink your life away like everyone...
