I didn't get a chance to put this thread up and give the play by play as I was getting messages from the field. @baboltin has been in AK on his Dall sheep hunt. He flew to Anchorage on 8/5 and got flown into the Alaska Range on the 6th where they started backpacking and looking for a ram. I...

There are a lot of very knowledgeable guys out there, but this is a good listen. Omer really knows his stuff and communicates it well. Of course we have our own group of very knowledgeable voices right here on SCH. @NBK and @Lungpopper have given me mounds of great advice and Omer echoes a lot...

I think it was only like 160 yards…. But I really like that 140 TTSX load from Barnes. Mule deer, elk, Dall rams… they all just fall over dead from inside 100 to 400ish so far. Regarding the “what cartridge is appropriate for elk” debate…. I am definitely not a “bigger is better” guy but I do...

Effective, but messy.

In my opinion aluminum poles are just no good for off trail use with a heavy pack. They bend and break all the time. With the Sissy sticks, in my opinion they should have made the bottom section carbon and the upper section aluminum. But full carbon is just the better product. I’ve had my BD...

Really glad you went carbon with your product Drew. I’m starting to lose track of how many lower sections of aluminum poles I’ve seen bend or break.

Yeah but tell the good people of SCH what you’re hunting up there! I’ll give you all a hint. It’s white. That narrows it down a bit.

He’s hunting deer on Kodiak.

Yep there are 8. There were a total of 10 I counted in the area but I never could get them all in one frame. 2 young rams, 2 lambs and 4 ewes in that pic. Couldn’t find the big boys but I didn’t have any big glass with me either.

Nevada is awesome but luckily for us these are in California!

Sierra Nevada Bighorns at 12,000 feet last week. Spent a week up there with family running around in the mountains. We hiked to some high lakes one day and I had a hunch they might be up there so I brought the binos and the big lens. Sure enough there they were. They aren't too hard to pick out...

I am not sure but if you give it enough time sunlight will destroy anything. Nalgene bottles are probably more stable than disposable bottles because they are designed to last forever vs single use plastic jugs.

I have no idea. But I do like that plastic jugs smash down to nothing and weigh basically nothing. When I kill a deer I can pack out everything with basically no space or weight penalty.

If you put clear plastic jugs where they will be exposed to UV light day after day you’ll get chemicals leaching into the water. I put the jugs in heavy duty black contractor bags and try and put it somewhere where it will have as little exposure to light as possible. I have stored water for...

I DM'd you.

yeah 6 hasn’t been enough for years. Last year 8 was guaranteed draw but it sounds like 8 is the new 7

Uggh the point creep continues

I think it’s like 1 in 3 chance with 7 but with anything higher than 7 it’s 100%.

OnX is definitely not using satellite technology to identify water sources for their hunting app. That all just comes from information from surveys. They are just compiling available public information and putting it into a user friendly format.

Got a CC hit from CPW…. Hunting mule deer in Colorado this November!
