I keep seeing this word used in the forums. Is this really ok?
How are we supposed to have an informed debate when this is the best you've got?
Personally, this level of "discussion" keeps me off of the forums.
Randy???? Randy??? Where are you?
I also have used the MSR Pocket Rocket for over 10 years and it has been a very dependable and useful piece of equipment (just like all MSR gear I own).
Welcome to the forums!
My family eats wild game year round. There's no way I'm going to give my small children meat sprinkled with lead. Copper bullets do not disappoint in performance either :)
My only problem with a heavy daypack is getting off a quick, accurate shot in close quarters with the pack on. It seems to cause a lot of wobble if worn during the shot.
I shoot the BT TSX 150 grains and 168 gr (factory vor-tx) out of my 30.06 with great results! So far I have killed mule deer, white tail, antelope, elk, bighorn and mountain goat. Nothing even takes a step. Exit wounds on even small animals (like antelope) have been terrific. Shots have been...
Great thread! Certainly nothing left in it's natural habitat is "wasted".
I agree with Buzz that putting iffy meat in my burger bags doesn't feel good at the table. Throwing out scraps isn't very cool to me either. The past few years I have ground everything (including connective tissue and...

Can't find the link, but last year or the year before a man was arrested for screwing antlers into does' skulls for transport. Was a weird story.
Never underestimate the resourcefulness of real criminals!
We can't even talk among ourselves without this being so ugly.
I was in town the other day and saw a truck plastered in "smoke a pack a day" and "no I-177" stickers. What does the general public think about that kind of representation of trappers and their wildlife management values? I don't...
Do you know how long they were aged? In my experience 10-14 days at 40 degrees is about right.
A marinade may help. Maybe even some old school tenderizer (chemical or mechanical)
