    Elk hunting pack question

    I have used a Horn Hunter Full Curl pack for the last 3 or 4 seasons. And while it was way better than slinging elk quarters over my shoulder like I did before I just keep thinking there has got to be better. I helped a buddy haul out a bull this year with it and was sore for a week. I know...

    National Elk Refuge

    Anyone ever hunted the National Elk Refuge? I see they have permission slips for the middle of October still available. I just moved to the Pinedale area so I have no idea how pressure or anything is around there. Would the elk even be there right now? Just looking at all my options on this side...

    Scope question/ help troubleshooting

    Last summer my dad purchased a new buckmaster 2 scope for his 300 wm. We sighted it in just fine. Just before hunting season we took it out again and could not get decent groups. It would be perfect at 100 yds and then all over the place at 200. We got it dialed in at 200 and its all over the...

    Gun slings

    My dad and I recently tried making some snack stick sausage with our grinder and smoker. The first time we ground the cheese with the meat and then put it through again to stuff the casings. This was a gooey mess. The second time we cut the cheese into little chunks and only mixed this in...
