    DIY Colorado Archery Elk Hunt

    I have done 5 DIY Colorado bow hunts. None from a backpack camp but the gear is the same. You never know what the weather will be. I have had 90 degree days and 9 inches of snow on Sept 12. I always have some wool clothing handy. One thing you need to consider as you pick your clothing is if it...

    First shotgun: O/U vs. Pump

    O/U You can get into an ATI for about $550 in any gauge you want. If you can't kill it in 2 the third probably won't matter. Choke each barrel differently. Comes in a youth size stock if needed. Can have him load one barrel only if safety is a concern. Selectable barrel. Extractors. walnut...

    Anyone shoot a single shot out there?

    TC Encore Pro Hunter in .270. TC Encore pistol in .30 Herrett. CVA single shot 20 ga. I have never passed on a shot because I only had one. A clean shot is a clean shot. Wouldn't matter how many shots I had.

    ABC News Ghost Gun

    Our local ABC news affiliate ran a story about a month ago on an AR 15 Ghost Gun. They claim they ordered all the parts on line and built the gun in a couple of hours. They claim there were no questions asked by the vendors. They also claim there was no serial number on any part. I emailed them...

    Torn between .257 Rob & .270 for this years hunt

    If hunting local to home, 257. If traveling 270 because I can buy 270 everywhere. Maybe not the case with the 257?

    7-08 or 6.5 creedmoor

    Isn't the 30TC from a 30-30 case? Or did I miss something. I may be confused as my TC 30 Herritt is a 30-30 case. I don't own the 7mm-08 or the 6.5 but I have a question. If you were going to hunt elk with either would the Barnes TTX solid copper bullet be your choice?

    ATV's going up horse/human trail

    I heard of an outfitter that when they found an ATV where it shouldn't be, they pushed it a few yards away and drained the oil. Then put it back where it was.

    Best Bird Dog for Apartment

    You should look at the AWS (American Water Spaniel) Smaller than most gun breeds except a Boykin. Ows is now 10 and there was a period where we both worked and he was home alone all day. He is a hunting maniac. Loves upland and ducks. They are a flushing breed but hunt close.

    Been tenting it for hunting for 35 years. Now we have a sleeping tent, cook tent and outhouse/shower tent. Put a plastic tarp over the tent, not touching suspended a few inches over. Keeps the snow and rain off, no leaks. We use kerosene heaters, works fine.

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I will broaden my search pattern and see what is available. I currently have a TC Pro Hunter and I could buy a 45-70 barrel for that.

    45-70

    I got this bug in my shorts to buy a 45-70. I don't NEED a 45-70, I want a 45-70. I have never fired one. I know the cartridge has been around forever. I read that it's a good deer, elk and moose gun out to about 200 yards. Pushes a lot of lead. Marlin makes a lever action with a long barrel...

    .338 Win Mag Bullet Choice for Moose

    From the research I did, the Barnes TTX should perform well. Solid copper that retains 95% of its weight. I have not shot anything with one but plan to use them for elk from my 270
