RE: WATER Question for an ELK CAMP

You can get a pretty decent water filter for around $50 that isn' t a chemical treatment that filters out all of the bad guys and with the charcoal filter makes the nastiest water even taste good....

RE: What is one thing you hate about hunting shows & magazines?

I for one, like to watch the hunts I can' t afford. I mean, a public land mule deer hunt in Utah would be like a reality show. Who wants to see that? But a cape buffalo hunt? I' ll probably never do...

RE: What would you like to see on outdoor TV shows?

RE: I need help with a prank

Rock salt loads are effective (but probably not lethal) at under about 15 yards but very uneffective at any distance beyond. As a kid we experimented to the point of probably killing ourselves a many...

So for Elk would you go with the 180 gr. or the 165? I read somewhere that the 165 x performs like a 180 in another brand. I' ve always used 180 gr. Hornadys for elk and 165' s for deer but I' m...

RE: Primitive weapons..Or are they?
