    Can’t speak for trphyhntr but for me just the way someone writes/speaks I can usually sense a correlation and then eventually it all clicks together in my head. 
    on this one I never had any communication or read much from him so it would’ve flown over my head.

    Bfg tires have a softer rubber compound. They will run forever on half ton and lower trucks. All my friends and family running bigger trucks burn them up in 15k miles but Toyota's and my Broncos will get a very long life using them I get 50 out of them and but they get dry after a few years.

    Hmm. 
    maybe that’s why I got 82k out of mine. 
    just replaced them last week with the same exact tires. 
    I run a Ford Expedition with 10 ply KO2’s, I use my Expo for work so sometimes have a lot of weight on it.

    Years ago my son was drawn for an elk hunt, he was 9 or 10 at the time and quite recoil shy and all he had was a .357 maximum T/C Contender with a 16 1/2” bbl

    I did a lot of research and ended up getting some 215 grain hardcast  bullets, loaded them up and got nice accuracy at 100 yds. 
    he ended up not liking it because the recoil became a bit stout, with all my research and load development I was 100% confident that any elk within 100 yds was dead. 
    in the end we ended up buying him a .243 and I loaded him up with 100 grain Nosler partitions to which he killed a spike bull at 137 yds. 
    killed it stone dead and the bullet passed through.

    Exactly. 
    I’ve watched cows (moo cows) 😁 put down with a .22 lr and drop like they were hit with a bolt of lightning. 
    the 357 herret is plenty on elk with the proper bullets. 
    someone mentioned the Barnes bullet. 
    im a big Barnes fan and can attest the bullet even though lighter is a great bullet that holds together and on rifles just passes on through.

    Ft pounds of energy is not what kills critters…..throw that 1000 fpe crap out the door!

    the bullet does the killing. 
    bullet construction and placement is key. 
    the 158 grain bullet while great for deer I wouldn’t use it in the Herret for elk, I’d ud use something like what was suggested above or get a 215 grain hard cast to use. 
     

    I always use the argument that if energy kills critters then we’d better throw archery equipment out the door.

    Put in without using portal, no problem worked same as every other time 

    That’s what I did because of the change I can’t access it anymore even though I followed their stupid passwords and steps to do it. 
    man....I can’t afford to lose bonus points. 
    guess it’s a good thing I have receipts.

    Ok, 

    so I was able to buy a license by signing in as a guest. 
    gave all my info and it recognized me. 
    then went ahead and applied for my hunts, also recognized me but had to manually input my lic # every time. 
    no big deal......I hope. 
    surely it will recognize all my previous bp’s and add them?

    I still can’t access my portal. 
     

    but I’m in the draw. 
     

    I think?

     

    I hope?

     

    oh boy!!!
