Nothing wrong with lifting up a buddy who's good at it. "If you brag about what a great hunter YOU are...."

Bottom line is this …. If you are a poacher, you suck. If you make up stories about killing legitimately when you poached, you suck. If you defend a poacher, you suck. If you get off poaching with a hand slap, you suck. If you guide and get your client on animals illegally, you suck. If you are guide and do illegal stuff or bully non-clients off of hunting spots they were on first, you suck (and you do it to the wrong person I guarantee you will get a butt kicking). If you brag about what a great hunter you are, you suck (and you probably really suck). Best hunter I know is a guy who NEVER posts. NEVER. His initials are BCD and he will read this. Guy sees animals you could only dream of seeing because he hunts hard, puts miles and miles on the boots, and he's got the best eyes of anyone I've ever met. He never brags about his kills. Never posts pictures. He just friggin' hunts. Quit quoting bad beer commercials. And Dos Equis is piss swill.

We have been at war for years … "bloodless" as they say … but war none the less.

A lot of masks being worn are not N95, which is the type a Health Care Worker needs. I know I wear one that is NOT N95 and is washable. But something is better than nothing, so they say.

Ain't that the truth.

Its a real tragedy that should have been avoided. Just a reminder that it can happen to anyone ... just a bad decision in a moment. Tragedy. Feel for the guy. Feel for his family. Feel for the kids.

Cornbagger is a CLASSIC!!!

Dumb question, and I haven't waded through all the BS to know...what happened to the hunter? I agree the guide should be fined, lose his licensd, and have a liferime ban. Also should probably do TRIBAL jail time...hopefully they were consulted, seeing as the crime occurred on sovereign lands. But did Donny Dipstick get off Scott Free? He pulled the trigger. He should pay up too. Never been much of a fan of "guided hunts". No offense to those who make a living that way, but I like to put the work in myself and let the chips fall where they may. I have had 2 primo Strip tags. No guide. Came home with a tag one year and a buck the other. Not World Class, but that was never the point. I see only one justification to poach...feed your family in a time of total economic shutdown/post apocalyptic turmoil. At which point Gooberment might be a thing of the past. We ain't close to there yet...God willing we never will be. And at that I'd start with wild bunnies, small game, and butcher my own goats, sheep and even horses (at least the one that is too old to ride...the other could be useful to hunt) first. Point is, poaching sucks and poachers...whomever they are...should get the heavy fine when it is so blatently flagrant.

For a Youth Hunter.

I'd give $20 for 3C.

Mine did. Have one in a 280 Ackley and another in a 270 WSM. But as a youth gun it is a good little rig, and was perfect for them to start on at 9 years old. My buddy just wanted a light, short little Coues gun … he did his research and settled on that caliber, for what reason I can't say. Some B!tc# will shoot though …

I am a big believer in the 7mm-08. Both boys had one as a starter. Big enough for deer and elk (at the right distance). Good ballistics. I know LARK hated them … but I am a fan. Buddy of mine has a custom 7-08 he shoots WAAAAAAY far.

I am bummed I missed that. I was up in Alpine a week ago on Saturday and it was clear. Would have loved to have gotten some snow while there.

What lengths can it be adjusted to?

I bought LOWA Camino GTX boots … they are AWESOME. Much better than the Danner's than they replaced.

That is a SWEET setup right there. Giving me ideas!!!

Another vote for .257 if you have access to a 7MM for Elk. The 7RM is basically the reason to .264WM nearly went the way of the DODO. Does the same thing with more smack.

What are you wanting? Wood or Syn?

For about the 19th year in a row, I have drawn NOTHING for Elk. NOTHING.

Ugh...nothing still and my buddy and his family pull 3 Bull tags. I am THE FRIGGIN COOK AGAIN!!!!

Not holding my breath.....
