Retire the switchback?
This thread made me laugh. My Switchback is: My new bow my fast bow my smooth bow my accurate bow Something tells me the bow in the back of the closet would be very unimpressive to this crowd. And yet I find myself shooting it more than my "new bow". -

Lugging base camp into the backcountry...
Sounds to me like you are simply deciding on how to pay and how much. Option #1You are currently paying in sweat if you are hiking in for hours. Option #2 is pay in discomfort, which builds character but you claim to abhor. Option #3 is to pay in dollars which you find distasteful. With... -
Ramsey debt viewpoint explained
Dave makes me laugh... Dave makes me smarter... (sometimes) Same reason I'm on here, doesn't mean I cant ignore stupidity when I hear or read it in both cases. Edit to add: the laughter/smarter ratio is inverse in these two examples of media consumption.- squirrel

How long did it take for your first elk?
Interesting how some talk in years, some days and some hours/minutes. Probably most accurate measurement is in full days of hunting. Some of you poor bastards apparently don't get out very much for very long due to a variety of factors. When I was dreaming of arrowing an elk the only way to... -

“You have too many”
Very simple in practice as they are hollow. Take a knife blade with a tang, pour the horn full of epoxy and stand up the blade in the epoxy keeping it from sinking. I'm betting not dishwasher safe even if you put burrs on the tang to help hold it.- squirrel

“You have too many”
I know a guy who did a knife handle out of an antelope shed, most awkward creation ever, but dogs love them for chewing. In fact the biggest problem is keeping the dog from following along behind and making me a criminal. Sometimes it isn't real obvious whether she is crunching a leg bone or...- squirrel

Horses in elk country
Stock can make your trip: can make it pleasant or miserable, sometimes its the quality of the stock, and sometimes it is the quality of their handlers. No doubt it can be a combination of the two also. That little donkey is quite adorable BTW. There is a lot of truth to MM's take on the...
