    To Have Love and Lost...

    Thanks for posting and sorry for your experience. Good lessons. I've never had an animal mounted but will ask about insurance if/when I do.

    Need some advice from you backcountry elk slayers

    You wish you had taken a cow hunt (agree!). Well find a buddy who also wants to hunt in the future and convince him to be your second if you are planning to hunt alone. Good for companionship, safety, and most importantly, packout!

    Drew Arizona Nonresident Desert Bighorn Sheep Tag - Kofa NWR. Dec. 2022.

    Congrats! I used to live in Yuma and know locals to Kofa with many more resident points still waiting to draw that tag. I've decided a photography trip is my best bet.

    Fresh Tracks+

    Big Fin, here is a feature request: please add some way to mark a video as previously watched. I'm watching in Chrome and don't see anyway to see that I've previously viewed a video so I end up watching an episode again and doubling back to search for a different one (tend to search by state)...

    Retirement goal changed due to inflation?

    financial magazines (Money, Fortune, etc), college, older folks, . . . (IRAs, not Roth. Wasn't invented yet) Wish Roth 401k/403b was a thing earlier.

    Looking for OTC archery elk hunt opportunity for 2022

    Have you considered llamas? Can't hunt next couple years but intend to use llamas as I approach 60 to take strain off back and legs. Still better with two of course.

    It won't overcome what they are taught on YouTube and MTV about stupid stunts

    No more local ACE, moving sucks.

    I've had some of the best customer experiences of my life at ACE but also a few bad stores where employees didn't know items. Had a great experience in Auto Zone yesterday including another customer helping me trouble shoot. Good luck with move. I'm career Navy and moving is by far the worst...

    Montana vs Arizona??

    AZ gets another boost if you hunt OTC deer because you've already bought the license.

    Slip in truck camper vs pull behind camper

    You can also tow a Jeep behind a truck camper - of course you need enough truck. There are popup models that are lighter with lower center of gravity that are better off-road. Still need 3/4 or 1 ton but not dually.

    what to do with rifle that doesn't get used?

    Think you answered your own question. You have no use for it so sell it. I only keep guns I don't use if they have sentimental value or if I had a classic, I would keep that regardless. Your Savage doesn't fall in those categories.

    Meanwhile in Kentucky

    Among other things, the language DIY seems odd. It was supposedly a stand in his back yard on a five acre plot over a salt lick or other minerals. Then turns out from a high fence farm. Not many five acre plots produce any trophies, much less the multiple trophies he claims over a few years.

    Fit for Hunting and Fishing

    I control my weight by exercise more than consumption but I've learned to put the right portion on my plate. I also grew up with the "clean your plate" mentality. I've long sense broke that but don't have the will power to let tasty food sit on the plate uneaten. If I leave it in the pot...

    New to elk hunting

    I blew a stalk on a nice bull, probably 5x5 a couple years ago. Was at 55 yards (archery). I still replay my mistakes but I would never learn the lessons the same way except living it including adrenalin that kept me from going slow enough.

    Drew an Elk MZ tag... now what?

    Going to doubletap that BH209 is measured by volume not weight - easy way to have a real bad day. I bought a couple packs of tubes to store premeasured loads. The tubes are marked with graduations but they are not accurate from tube to tube but they still work great for easy loading at the...

    What is America's all time best, purely civilian hunting cartridge?

    Because OP said non-military cartridge. Open it up to cartridge derived for military use and 30-06 wins in landslide.

    What is America's all time best, purely civilian hunting cartridge?

    On 30-30, it's not going to be my go to but in the south and east, hunters often can't see farther than 100 yards and the cover is thick. 30-30 is more than enough for whitetail, the top big game target. Your thread and your topic but excluding a prior military round, you take out the top...
