    Finished beef steer going to butcher now

    I've spent 1200 on a elk hunt and ended up eating tag soup. This was a great deal.

    backpacking tents.... what are you guys using?

    Backpack hunting in the SNOW/COLD you must have a way to dry your boots and clothing. You can do most of your cooking on the stove and warm up after being out all day long when the temperature is in the teens or much colder. A heated tipi is light, and gives plenty of space for its size. I have Seek Outside four man and large stove, its a little big when your by yourself but I can stand up to stretch when waiting out a storm. Lots of room for fire wood, and I stand up to get dressed. It can with stand a blizzard and weights only 7. 3 pounds with stove. They make smaller tipis and up to a 24 man tipi. If get on their mailing list they have second sales, I only paid $530 for my 4 man. https://seekoutside.com/ I looked into going with a teepee but I mostly hunt in the desert and there are too many critters and bugs moving around for my liking. I would love to try one up in snow country. I will get on their email list.

    6.5 Creedmoor for elk?

    One of my girls will use my kimber Adirondack in 6.5 on her youth cow hunt. I'm shooting the 143gr ELDX. It stacks them and suppressed it's a baby to shoot

    Just what I need, another tripod. I will probably end up adding it to the herd.

    I have a big Agnes flycreek ul3 that I bought for my kids to take. I have a hilleberg atko if I go solo or a hilleberg kaitum 3gt if I go with someone.

    Fishing Outfit Rant

    It's their policy, it's not a law or statute. I have a policy that I don't do business with companies that have ridged arbitrary policies,

    Backpacking tent and sleeping bag

    The down in mine isnt treated or is the bag waterproof. I havent had much of a problem venting my Hillibergs. I am planning on getting a waterproof cover. If I were to buy another bag I'd get the GWS Antelope or Badger. Gore Wind stopper is pretty waterproof. http://www.westernmountaineering.com/sleeping-bags/gore-windstopper-series/antelope-gws/ The Luxury-lite cot has been worth the carry weight. I have a bad back and it has been a lifesaver. Getting great sleep is the secret for hunting harder.

    Backpacking tent and sleeping bag

    I have 2 Hilleberg tents and love them. Truly bomb proof. An Atko and a Kaitum 3 GT. As for bags, my favorite are Western Mountaineering or Feathered Friends. I also carry a Luxrylite or Ultralite cot and a insulated pad.

    Military trailer wanted

    thats what I had to do. I had to get a bonded title. The other way was to reg it as a homebuilt trailer but they want you to have all your receipts.

    Military trailer wanted

    Good luck. I had a hard time finding the M416 I bought to build an expedition trailer. Hope you find what you are after.

    Fishin for a Glock

    I figure a Rapala Count Down would be good for catching handguns. Tried a Hula Popper but only caught Keltec and Lorcin.

    accuracy and supressors

    I need more rifles and more calibers like I need another wife. Nope.

    accuracy and supressors

    I have the hybrid on my mp5 but will mount it on my 45acp Enfield sbr when I get the correct mount. I have 4 harvesters. Love them. Just the 30cal ones. No need for big bore.

    accuracy and supressors

    yes in most cases. I have seen a 50fps gain on some of my rifles when I suppressed them, so my dope chart had to be adjusted. The harmonics dampening and reduction in noise and recoil have tightened up my groups too. Congratulations on joining the club. What did you get?
