I vote we grab a backhoe and bury this thread.
This thread and others like it prove nothing and solve nothing.
It's divided our readership into Hot / Cold camps, and I think that is a loss to all of us.
This reminds me of the "Helmet Law".
Let those who ride, decide.
My mind is made up and so is yours. So lets leave it alone and not try to polarize the issue.
Have a great Thanks Giving. BT

Well, I'm 65, so 50's are youngsters to me..
Muledeer. I am not offended by you carrying cold, what ever floats your boat. I carry hot and don't plan to change. Why are post about the military carrying hot stupid? We are not talking about deer/elk trying to kill you here, we are talking about the relative saftey of carrying hot and cold. Certainly if a few hundred thousand troops being 18-20 yr sold, scared crapless carry hot into battle or bad guy zones, there is no reson why the average hunter cannot.
Quote by CH "The most recent death I know of was the father who took his teenage son hunting for the first � and last - time. I remember an ATV was involved somehow � I think he leaned his rifle against it." ( I'm not clever enough to do those boxed quotes.
See, it's those damn ATV's. We ought to ban them. If it was about leaning one on an ATV, I don't consider that carrying hot while hunting. I consider it darn stupid for not unloading before you get back to the close vacinity of your vehicle.You cannot fix stupid, whether you carry hot or cold. Mine usually gets emptied about 100 yds from the truck or 25-50 yds from the mules.
We might as well continue this thread. It's 9 degrees this AM, I Have nothing better to do ,except to mayb edo some reloading until the turkey is done and it's darn entertaiing

Ted, I know you know the Russian River is a GREAT area for Pinot's! Sounds like a good time!
I might head down towards Jellystone tomorrow and see if I can kill a bull. Really, conditions are just now getting good for putting elk down!
