Ernesto,

 

Very wise tip on the tp

[firstcoueswas80]

yeah three rifles dads 7RUM, my 30-06 (carrying) and the back up rifle the 270 wsm.

 

 

i called my dad 3 times and reminded him to bring my tag!

 

 

yes, dont forget TP thats more important than anything, and i do mean ANYTHING

[ghost hunter]

Can't imagine that dilemma, no TP and the only paper product in your pocket is that 7E elk tag. What you gonna do?

[DesertBull]

There is plenty of Mullien (SP?) in the high country that is softer than any TP you can buy in the store. It's also very medicinal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--Medicinal Action and Uses---The Mullein has very markedly demulcent, emollient and astringent properties, which render it useful in pectoral complaints and bleeding of the lungs and bowels. The whole plant seems to possess slightly sedative and narcotic properties.

 

It is considered of much value in phthisis and other wasting diseases, palliating the cough and staying expectoration, consumptives appearing to benefit greatly by its use, being given in the form of an infusion, 1 OZ. of dried, or the corresponding quantity of fresh leaves being boiled for 10 minutes in a pint of milk, and when strained, given warm, thrice daily, with or without sugar. The taste of the decoction is bland, mucilaginous and cordial, and forms a pleasant emollient and nutritious medicine for allaying a cough, or removing the pain and irritation of hemorrhoids. A plain infusion of 1 OZ. to a pint of boiling water can also be employed, taken in wineglassful doses frequently.

 

The dried leaves are sometimes smoked in an ordinary tobacco pipe to relieve the irritation of the respiratory mucus membranes, and will completely control, it is said, the hacking cough of consumption. They can be employed with equal benefit when made into cigarettes, for asthma and spasmodic coughs in general.

 

Fomentations and poultices of the leaves have been found serviceable in haemorrhoidal complaints.

 

Mullein is said to be of much value in diarrhoea, from its combination of demulcent with astringent properties, by this combination strengthening the bowels at the same time. In diarrhcea the ordinary infusion is generally given, but when any bleeding of the bowels is present, the decoction prepared with milk is recommended.

save the tag, use the socks for wiping. just cut em into pieces. been there, done that.

[Guest Ernesto C]

Hahahahahaha...................I hope Casey get Desertbull hint on time,cause if he get's it to late..........he's going to get rid of that blonde he was after

[JVS]

Oh man, I never wiped with a mullen (I call it Turkey mullen?) before, but it seems like those leaves have millions of tiny hairs. Would it have the same effect as fiberglass? That could be devastating. It might be better to wipe with the cob end .

well, i am in town, and have seen very few elk. opening morning about 10 of them ran across the far end of the field my dad i were watching. some hunter shot about 10 times, and on the las tone i saw these elk. i ran over to a clearing, put my bipod down and got on them. they were to far and moving to fast for a ethical shot. however, if they would have stopped, that would be a different story!
