    Compare 270 loads, Nosler 130 partition vs 140 accubond

    I've had great great results running 130gr AB, don't see why 140s wouldn't do the same.

    Hunting after knee replacement

    Pretty exciting week for me last week. Knee finally took a turn in the right direction and gained substantial ground. Doc gave me full clearance 5mo post-op. Been going for very short runs and continuing workouts. Elk hunting this fall is looking very promising health wise!!

    Practical Hiking Slope/Vertical Gain Limitations While Hunting

    Practical distance will all depends on your fitness level and desire to go further. For some, thats 6 miles; while others, it’s 25. To throw a dart at the wall, I’d say 12-15 is on the upper end. Sure there’s days where I’ve had longer and have had shorter but I’d say that’s around the average...

    Boots for Elk Hunting?

    I concur with the others on the amount of thinsulate. Even if you're sitting still, your feet could sweat a lot on the way to where you're going to sit and then freeze when you get there. As with everything, it's entirely up to you.

    A (Probably/Likely) Really Dumb Question

    I do most of my hunting out of a beavertail stealth. Love the stability of it. Little heavier than a tube or kayak but it's a trade off for space over a tube and better stability than a kayak. I load mine in and out of my truck by myself, so that's something to consider.

    Hunting after knee replacement

    There's some doctors out there that are stuck in the mindset that a replacement joint is tied to a certain age. I'm 35 and my doc didn't bat an eye over my age and needing a replacement. It seems like a lot of the concern is if you wear it out, then you might need another one in 10+ years. My...

    Hunting after knee replacement

    I’m curious for those that have had full or partial knee replacements; how long before you hunted again? Did it affect how you hunt? How was the aches and pain during the hunt? I’m currently laid up 2 weeks post-op from a partial knee replacement. Got a long road or recovery and therapy for...

    Also keep in mind the date changes for 2nd rifle. I want to say by 2021, 2nd rifle will start like 29 Oct. They are undergoing a pretty substantial change over the next 2 years

    Idaho hates NRs.

    As a NR, the price increase against NR is what it is. NR have been exploited for probably as long as GFP's have been around. I'd be a lot more for it if there was a slight increase on the resident side of pricing too. Not asking for the world but it would definitely help ease the pain and there...
