    Favorite Kind of ice shelter

    My wife bought me an Ice Castle when I retired. Most years I don't make it out more than one or two times and that's in an insulated hub. I have a 7x7 Black Ice that I use most, but I also have a Clam 1660 mag insulated. I have not fished out of the Clam, but I have been very comfortable...

    Smoke pole

    There are better ways to limit the muzzy than limiting in-lines. There have been forms of in-lines going back to 1835. Perhaps a better term is direct fire because the underhammers were a direct fire. Colorado the last time I was there didn't allow sabots. You had to use round ball or a Maxi...

    God's Plan for Seniors

    My brother always says he is going to find the guy who coined the phrase "Golden Years" and choke the crap out of him. I guess a ripped up shoulder, torn up knees and cancer will give you an attitude.

    Weather Calls.........

    Started out a little sloppy at 5:00am at 30 degrees. It's 27 now and snowing. I went to Pipestem to watch for a coyote, but visibility was about 700 yards when it got light enough to see, and 500 yards when I left. The rangefinders would only to 158 yards and 200 yards. Sig and a Swaro...

    Survey- Please help

    I am a DIY kind of guy but I filled it out as if I would use one. Fishing guides don't post the lake and keep others out so I have no problem with them. Now if someone on here was a guide I perhaps would get a guide for four hours, not to get fish, but to just meet the guy and fish with him...

    Pissed off Farmer

    :) I'm surprised he didn't start a big enough fire to hide the evidence. What's the nearest refuge they can take over with their AR15's?

    Vortex or Leupold

    Last time I went to Montana bear hunting I took along three lens caps for my scope. I print my come ups to 1000 yards inside my lens cap. Then I took along a 5000 ft elevation, a 6000 ft elevation, and a 7000 ft elevation pre printed lens caps. Throw them in my pack and keep the closest...

    Vortex or Leupold

    Kurt that's simple off minutes of angle. If it drops .1 inch more minute of angle at 700 yards that is .7 inches. That's the same for the 140 gr Berger VLD for the temperature of 32 degrees and 52 degrees. I can see higher temperatures making more difference, but I started with 32 degrees...

    Try Shooter Kurt, I know you will like it. Few people know that at this latitude you will shoot hmmmm now I forget, but it's around six inches low when shooting 1000 yards west and six inches high when shooting east. Your also off about 3.6 inches in windage shooting north or south. Its great...

    Vortex or Leupold

    I went 32 degrees and 52 degrees. I only get 2690 fps out of my Creedmoor so I used the 6.5X284 at upper 2900's. However, I use the 140 VLD with a little lower ballistic coefficient. I'll try remember how to do a screen shot. Oh, I also used shooter. I think you need to knock out wind...

    Your so full of bs. You didn't tell us what weight only 6.5 ELD-X. I run the second program that I gave data for on my 6.5 ELD-X. The 143 gr to be specific. Your still full of bs about 20 degree differences. - - - Updated - - - I have all three of them and they are stable, but so far I...

    Vortex or Leupold

    I just run the program for my 300 win mag at 700 yards. Today we are 32 degrees and my up is 12.9 inches. So I switched it to 52 degrees and my up is 12.7 inches. So that's .2 inches which is not even one click. One click would bring me closer so that's 1.75 inches at 700 yards and you...

    Smoke pole

    It's been to long my old Hawken is going to have to bite a few squirrels. I think I am going to have to get a couple of the grandkids hooked on the old charcoal burner.
