It's amazing what one harvest can provide, we are feeling very blessed tonight with yet another elk steak dinner. Steamed cauliflower, red rice and beans, roasted Brussels, and mushroom blue cheese sauce. The meat didn't need such a sauce but dang was it good.

One of the most important things is your arrow hits the target square. So if your arrows hit the target at an angle you are losing a large percentage of the kinetic energy built into your arrow. It doesn't matter if your arrow is 600 grns or 400 if it's not hitting straight it's not using that weight.

I'm am by far no expert but I think you may be on the light side of the spectrum for elk but you also should be just fine, placement is a lot of the game, a heavy arrow like 150 grn more than mine is better when you make a bad shot or hit bone or a tougher part of an elk. I have seen an arrow just like yours drop animals in 30 seconds. Not elk, but tough animals. Put all the odds you can in your favor

Those type of sheep hunts remind me of mtn Everest, to me it's really been ruined by business and traffic, after listening to Jay Scott and his sheep hunt I have zero desire to do anything like that even if I had the money. Sounded more like a bunch of retired folks on a tour bus than a hunt. I would much rather take that kind of money and go to New Zealand or Australia several times and hunt for weeks for multiple species and not be like cattle in a shoot.

Alaska Trip Help (updated with trip report pics)
MULEPACKHUNTER replied to AZ RANGER's topic in The Campfire
Very nice thanks for sharing. -
That just reminded me of a story. Long ago when I was 20 years old me and a buddy were driving to Bartlett lake in his moms wood paneled station wagon towing a 1953 Jon boat and some Jack Daniels and Vienna sausages when we find an old mattress on the side of the road smoldering from a cigarette being laid under it and lit !!!!! It was east of the ranger station headed down the hill to the lake and could have set that whole desert on fire. The butt was under the mattress and you could tell it burned a line up to it. We put it out and let the sherif know but never heard anything else. People are nuts

I've been testing the new pedialyte powder packets and I am very impressed, they taste great and dissolve very quick in water. Perfect size for 16 oz water bottle. All stores have them that I have been to. Not cheap but one of the best products for electrolytes I have used and I have used a lot. So now I am using 2 Tailwind nutrition powder Pedialyte powder packets I'll have these at all times now

I got it and yes they want ideas but they also have a base plan which I'm guessing is whatever was laid out by conserve and protect. They already also have public input scheduled which means it's on the road to being solidified whatever it is they have already. Should be interesting.

What an idiot, someone should smack that lady!!!

Ha nice shot, wonder how much cash is sitting on that hill???
-
Not sure why but these type of shots are some of my favorites. I used to have a bunch but lost them over time.
-
Should be fine if you can find it, it's pricy locally. Unless you running a blower on it it won't get that hot. My neighbor was running it in his forge but switched to propane due to price and workability

Quick and dirty if you filed a theft claim on your homeowners did your rates go up ??? Dirtbag smashed into my truck while we were at dinner and snagged my hunting gear and gun and worst of all my gym bag!!!! This was not at our home but car insurance doesn't cover so it's homeowners So what's the verdict? Rates go up?
-
Nice , haha didnt I have your Kowa big eyes and swaro binos in my gym bag as well ?? You know for spotting my next set of weights
-
Thanks for that info, I did just get off the phone with my claims rep and she was nice enough to answer my question honestly, she pulls up my name in a computer program and it says my rates will increase by 20 to 35 dollars a month if I file a claim in this instance regardless of the cost of the claim. I hate insurance, just hate the heck out of it in most aspects. We have had zero claims on any insurance in the last 13 years other than glass replacement which was minimal and the only bad thing is we did switch insurance companies a few times but we saved a lot of money doing that. So we have paid in for years and years and now we could use some help and they will happily pay but then we will slowly make higher payments back to them and of course still never come close to matching what we have paid in. I guess if my house burned down I wouldn't complain about it but most of the time it's a bummer.
