Montana Judge Says Landowners Don’t Have ‘Absolute Freedom’ to Kill Elk, and Allowing Public Hunting Doesn’t Infringe on Their Rights
Careful I am a landowner and have always obeyed game laws. Being a landowner doesn't make you a poacher. Having a mindset of a poacher makes you a poacher. That's a very big generalization. All my neighboring landowners are the same, we follow game laws.- belshawelk

What Rifle/Caliber Combinations Have you liked the most and disliked the most and why?
I am talking about smaller SUV not Expedition and Tahoes. Could have said to make it easier. Lets disagree on shoulder. I have yet to ruin any meat with a solid copper. Its what made me change to copper when I had an Accubond LR ( not Accubond)fragment all over inside an elk when it hit a...- belshawelk

good for you for new hunters. A copper bullet does not fragment and ruin meat. Let me know how a big bear goes without anchoring him- belshawelk

Ok. I guess I not a perfect shot like many and prefer a heavier bullet with better terminal ballistics to help out when I am off a little bit. Just my opinion. But I've got a little experience will killing stuff. But I am others know more.- belshawelk

The 270, 270 WSM and 7MM yes are similar. But the others I mentioned are not. Sure a 270 or 30,06 will kill and N. American game. But the newer heavy for caliber cartridges do it better. Sure hit the main vital and your good. But I have shot several elk and hit a lung and heart and tracked them...- belshawelk

On the bigger power range both my Nosler 30 with a VX5. or my Nosler 28 with a VX3 Mid range power probably my all around favorite is Tikka 270WSm with Leupold Something. I think its an VX2 ( i dunno I pull the trigger and something drops. Smaller end caliber is Weatherby 6.5-300 With VX5. I...- belshawelk

Just make sure to look at the Polaris HD1500 to compare. I have not seen the Cam Am Version but I would just look at both. I have the HD1500 and cant imagine there is anything better. The 1500 fixes all the things about the the range people complained about. Shifting, belts, sealed cab...- belshawelk

Best Opening Lyrics
Why try? I know why This feeling inside me says it's time I was gone Clear head, new life ahead It's time I was king now, not just one more pawn Was my song when I was a kid to go in the world and make things happen- belshawelk

Snowboarding
I appreciate you boarding. Gives me more wickets to go around. I am a two planker. On a serious note, older guys like me seem to be respectful boarders and I can co-habitat. The younger crowd i cannot. Ruin the snow and sit on the downside of hills. As someone who has skied downhill semi...- belshawelk

Retiring in the Pacific Northwest
Since Idaho is full Eastern Oregon is great option. Lots of hunting, fishing, skiing, hiking etc. Housing prices are a 1/3 of the west side, and weather is much better overall. I spend about 80% of time living in E Oregon. Spent the last 40 years in Portland. I would not recommend it. Exact...- belshawelk
