upland strap vest recommendations?
Another vote for Final Rise. It carries a lot of water, has spaces to carry phones, GPS, transmitter, pliers, first aid, tp, etc. with a belt and suspension that make carrying the weight a breeze. I got it for Chukar hunting and couldn't be happier.- harleymc

Episode 51 - Fred Eichler and Kyle Lamb
Well I’ve been debating posting anything for a long time because I can see both sides of this issue, but every time I think of this podcast I get a strong mix of emotions that doesn’t seem to passing with time, so I guess I better get it off my chest.

Thanks for the feedback guys. In WA we are not allowed to use 209 primers, they are illegal. 777 you need to use a 209, so that is out. So it sounds like my next option is to try loose powder instead of pellets? In my research I also saw where a guy put a little loose powder in first and...- harleymc

Why did my new muzzy fail to fire?
I am a true greenhorn when it comes to muzzleloaders, and I just returned from my first weekend hunt. After two days of hunting I tried to fire the gun to clear it, and 4 musket caps later it still didn't go bang. :confused: What did I do wrong? I have a Traditions Vortek NW edition with...- harleymc

Questions for you seasoned elk hunters out there...
I'll add a couple points. 1. You asked what looks 'elky' on a map. As mentioned, start with stuff that is hard to access. Second, look for north facing timber near some grazing areas and not too far from water. Small pockets of grazing that are secluded are best, and these areas can indeed...
