I have it as well. I like it just fine. Ive put it to use to find waterholes and mark waypoints and it worked flawlessly. I like the blood trailing feature though but agree with the above comments and prefer to just mark the land itself. I guess if a guy wanted to keep a data base of his blood trails or something it would be useful. I do like the arial maps better then google earth. Be sure you save a the maps of the area your going to be hunting prior to heading out in case theres no service.

I have the mulie hunt in 8 this year. My first mulie tag since the 90's. I have no clue how to hunt these elusive creatures, but I'll give it a try.

I use a single pin sight from HHA. Easy to set up and very easy to use plus you get a nice sight picture with only one pin. There are also models with three pins where the bottom pin is your floater. Most every sight company makes one.

If you buy one you'll have to build a giant lock box out of steel and lag bolt that to a tree, add some logging chain and a few good locks. Oh and don't put it on a water hole or to close to a road cause it will get stolen. Also you might think about a trail camera to watch your cooler. Of course your going to need another lock box and some more logging chain......

They don't make them like they used to that's for sure.

what does game and fish need to wake up and do something about? Using that logic then G&F should do something about all the rifle hunters who make bad shots on elk too. Fact is that rifle hunters lose just as many if not more.

dates are still wrong on the link but correct when you open it up.

This is my favorite segment of this forum thanks for sharing. Krags are cool

Best thing Ive read in a long time... can't wait for the next installment.

Sad to hear. Hate the thought of all that meat going to waste.

Great bull and a big freezer full of meat. Win/Win... Good job bud.

Im still baffled at the amount of resources the whole wolf "experiment" has devoured with so little return. Why is it so important to bring them back to an ecosystem that has long forgotten them and works just fine without them? Other than the warm fuzzy it gives some people who think they are saving a specie what other benefits is there that they feel it necessary to set asside 3/4 of an entire state for them? That being said Im sure NFWS has their mind made up on this. But I have to agree with rthrbhntng, we need to show some unity and the more attention we can bring to this the better. I apologize for going off topic.

Good advice for all of us. 45 is NOT the new 30.

Wisconsin sure didnt play like a top 25 team in my book. Their secondary was horrible and shallow. If ASU can throw on them like that imagine what Alabama would do.

I have this crazy idea that I'd like to put together my own custom hunting rifle. Im not thinking of getting too custom just a good solid action and barrel, a comfortable stock and a decent quality optic. I'd like it to be light enough to pack in the rough country but still manageable in the recoil dept too. Something that I can use on coues, bears and elk. Do you guys have any ideas?

The Wisconsin QB f'ed it up. I thought it was a heads up play by the ASU defense.

Great first bull... someday I'll get my first one too. Congrats again.

Hey, thanks for all the great food for thought gentlemen. I know their are a lot of out of the box rifles that would more than suffice. I was just looking to have something that was uniquely mine. Good to hear all the great feedback on Tikka. I do not currently reload so at the start I'd probably be using off the shelf ammo. It seems like theres been a lot of votes for the 270 wsm caliber as well that's very interesting. I would say that I hunt archery 60% of the time so maybe rethinking my original post a little to weapon that would be used mainly for deer and bears? And may on occasion and elk? I would consider a 500 yd shot on the extreme edge of my capabilities. My longest successful shot so far has been out to the 420-450 mark. Keep it coming guys.

Cant wait to see some awesome grip and grin elk photos. Good luck to all.

thats the best cave painting I've ever seen.

SWEET!!!!

best thing is to just rent a pair of each and try them out. Personnally I don't think you can go wrong with either one. I've had some of the lower quality 15's... Steiner, Vortex Vipers and Minox. They were all better glass than I was at glassing.

Because the tags are easier to get.

They just want to keep making it harder and harder for you to use THEIR national forests. Besides it gives them something to harrass hunters with.

FS has done that in the past but dont think ive ever heard of it happening in the fall. Typically in late winter early spring if its been really wet.
