    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".

    First World Problem - Would You Buy Land Right Now??

    RE in general right now is tricky. (of course it always is) Biggest single question after looking at comps to make sure you are paying proper valuation is cash vs financed. Advantage cash... Next would be ROI in cash. Gotta at least cover the yearly rent check to the gov't right? Bringing...

    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.

    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...

    Beginner-Mountain Goat Hunting

    Any where you can draw a tag is the best place for you to hunt. Dont read up on the draw or you will never bother. Take a decent camera and carry your goats out in much easier fashion and hunt every year if you wish. The country is the adventure the goats are just a reason to be there. But yes...

    “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.

    “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...

    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...

    Elk Foraging Response to Vegetation Freeze

    Only slightly, they will start grazing under canopy cover after the open grass is frozen. And they will dig to eat the bottom of the bunch grass rather than the upper tips. When things get really tough they eat anything that aint white, and will go as low as they can to be in less white...

    Mt. Goat fat?

    Goats are tasty but tough, but that's why someone invented grinders and crock pots and cubers. The fat is hardly worth saving but doesn't need excessive trimming either. Sheep is the nasty stuff for dog food if you have a dog you dont really like so much. Coengineer has the wrong conclusion...

    Law Enforcement on Public Lands

    Well it depends on the day: When I go past a work crew of sweaty "friends of xyzzy wilderness" cutting Beatle kill deadfall off the trail (using a two man buck saw and an axe) with a prim little green uniformed lady (smelling of hair spray and channel #5) chewing their ass for not putting the...
