I have had very good success using the silicone and mineral spirits treatment. I treat from the knee down. I also do my hats and lightweight gloves. Lightweight gaiters work great for those dewy mornings also.

6.8 is designed to be optimized out of a 16 barrel. For home defense 6.5 is somewhat impractical. Out to 300 very similar ballistics. Under 500 spc. Over 500 6.5

P When are you going to teach me how to bear hunt? I need a rug! Lol.

Have no fear, a hunter will kill that deer. But it will be a circus when it happens. Season opens the 19th, expect the kill photos to be pasted online by about 10:00 am. The 19th???? Ed F That's the "special permit" early season archery.

Love mine. Quite sufficient for anything I would need to do.

IF they pass such a law, I think it will be as a "deterrent" rather than an active pursuit type thing. There are a LOT of laws on the books that they don;t enforce regularly, but they CAN enforce when they choose to or need to for whatever reason. Lots of people out riding unlicensed motor vehicles for example. I ride a LOT(mine are all properly licensed though), and have NEVER been stopped. I also don;t abuse the trails/roads I ride on and have never given them reason to stop and check me. I think they are very aware of the hostility game cams are causing and want a way to do something about it if the NEED arises to resolve an issue. I seriously doubt they are intending to outright BAN all cameras. As has been said, impossible to enforce. They will NOT waste the resources to do so.

Now that's funny. Red wins the internet today.

I wonder if that hurts...

I'll put you on the list Sean! I am one that has given great reviews on this site because Sean took very good care of me. But I think this thread is for person to person transactions and not sponsors. I think we already know it is ok to trust sponsors. Most of them anyway. lol

One of my favorite things during elk season is when the storms roll in. Find a nice thick stand of trees to sit under and stay dry while it rains and get ready for some awesome activity when the heavy stuff lets up. So many guys stay in camp or head back when it gets rainy. Waterproof boots and pants or gaiters are a MUST.

master of the estrus buzz....

Agree with cj on YouTube. Also look up elk101 and elknut's training stuff. All good stuff. I tried for YEARS and couldn't do it. Gag reflex didn't help. Then I on a whim I started trimming my reeds and viola, I found it. Now it is almost second nature. Anytime you are in the area hit me up and I would be happy to show you what I do with my reeds. Might just be the shape of your palette keeping you from the magic. Lol

Spotters work very well but as WHT just said, you need an adapter to hold it steady and to be able to focus. It is also VERY easy to make your own from an old phone holster and a cheap scope cap.

My tikka doesn't shoot worth a darn... But then none of my other rifles do either. I just keep picking lemons I guess. lol Love my tikka though.

HAHAHAa I was going to say the same thing. I have little desire to carry my bed and shelter when I have my trailer. lol

Pretty soon there will be outfits that find the animals for you, set up your blind, give you a place to sleep and eat and then drive you out to the blind in the morning and drop you off...

Ruining your rep Flatlander.....lol Well done man.

I have that elk on a stick decoy. I used it last year helping a buddy on his hunt. Can't say it helped, but definitely never spooked one off. Mostly I just did it for something new to try. I actually thought it was kind of fun messing with it. Might try some more this year.

Interested in the powder drop and cabelas tumbler.

I agree with kaz. Elk love the hoochie mama because they know to run away fast. I carry several different reed calls as well as several diaphragm calls. You never know what they will want to hear. You can use just about any of the QUALITY cow calls effectively. Custom calls are even better because they do not sound like everyone else out in the woods. More importantly than WHICH call to use, is knowing HOW and WHEN to use it. If you are just going to go blow on it randomly, you might as well get a hoochie mama. Just pick one to start. Learn to use it and practice. And practice. Then practice some more. There are some very good learning cd/dvds out there. Watch a lot of youtube and LISTEN. Nothing worse than a bunch of dudes out in the woods blowing kazoos pretending to elk hunt.

Let them know that I hate them please So do I because had he not forgotten to put in they would be with us on the correct hunt!

Lorpen. Sounds like I might need to try some darn tough ones though
