    Lake Powell

    that is an impressive haul for your trip. would love to bring back some (tag soup for big game season, lots o space in the freezer). did you find the quality suffer much from fresh to frozen and the transition time of getting the fish to a frozen state? Sounds like if you target stripers...

    What is the longest you've aged a big game animal?

    Enjoy the thread, when aging, isn't there an important difference in aging meat on and off the bone. Better results will be had on the bone, with the muscle groups origin and insertion attached and stretching the muscle during the process? anyone with more knowledge like to add to that, or...

    gun or scope

    Update, this summer, have changed out the scope with a know scope from my BIL, and am getting similar results as with my old setup. Is it safe to assume that the barrel is the culprit? or could it be something else. Wondering if its worth the investment for parts and smithing on this cheaper...

    gun or scope

    I am unsure of the scope mounts, but it certainly will not hurt breaking down the scope and remounting. Currently, my shots are 4-5 inch groups. Have been shooting core-lokt 150 gr.

    gun or scope

    Thanks for the input, the 300 yd shots were for fun to the steel, used for the 7. i know the real dialing in is at 50-100 yd. I do give a love tap after adjustments to the scope. I Will check my mounts and adjust my scope back and forth to see if is tracking. Now I am fairly green, so I...

    Smoke situation in Colorado

    We have been choking along the front range here in Colorado of late. We just need a little front to push through and all that goes away for a few days, at least. If it blows, either elkheads or zirkels should be clear, no too far between as the crow flies. It has been mostly cool here the...

    gun or scope

    I have a newer to me, Marlin 270 with a Leupold scope. have taken it out a couple times over the last couple years and cannot get it to shoot straight. the first shot is true, off a sled at 100 or prone at 300, but the following shots all have big time drop and variance. what would you think...

    co late elk hunt 3, 301

    Success!!! My son tagged out today. Took two shots, but elk down. So proud of him on this 'coming of age' hunt with him. I've been elk hunting for 5 years and the first elk I quartered was his. A fact he will not let me forget for quite some time, Im sure. Thanks to Hunt Talk for all the...
