Update for everyone that was able to help me come up with ideas:
1. We were able to harvest a nice, fat buck and get him self processed prior to flying home.
2. Husband ended up wanting a new, smaller cooler from Cabelas which we used for transporting our meat home.
3. We learned that with...
I’m currently looking for some advice on how to travel with venison via airplane. I searched previous threads on this topic but still have questions.
Background: my husband and I are traveling from San Diego (Navy orders) back to Kansas to visit family and hunt whitetail. We are flying via...
Thanks for the input everyone! Rest easy - I had my lifetime license for KS well in hand before even talking about getting married!
As a bit of a disclaimer here, I don't think we will be stationed in San Diego for more than 16 more months - he's on 2 year orders for San Diego and will start...
Hey fellow hunters/huntresses!
I recently got married to a US Navy sailor and am relocating to San Diego, California to be with him. Obviously I know there are going to be some pretty big changes between Kansas and California (i.e. non-lead ammo, species, gun registration within 60 days of...
Agreed on the Mystery Ranch route. Honestly if you live close to a decent outdoors store, swing in there and talk to them about packs for various outdoors gear. I live in Kansas and found a retailer in a location I was visiting for vacation so I was able to swing in, get fitted, and pick the...
I totally agree on the First Lite gear being awesome. However, if you happen to be a curvier lady (like myself) I'd recommend ordering from the men's line.
You can get a ton of great gear online through Rokslide that's gently used and typically at a decent discount. I got myself a jacket from...
Tagging this question in here as I feel it's slightly related.....
What are you supposed to do if you're moving your permanent residency from one state to another and have home processed game that you're taking with you (i.e. still have leftover deer, turkey, etc. from previous season)? Would...

Hey guys, thanks for all of the input! I really appreciate you all taking time to give me your two cents worth.....I think I almost have a whole dollar now!
Joking aside, I have gone ahead and tried out some gear. I found a premium outdoor gear shop to visit while I was down in San...
Just figured I'd share the following bit of information in regards to hunting on WIHA (Walk-in Hunting Area) properties:
KWPT is working with landowners near urban areas to manage the number of hunters on walk in properties. The urban areas that are being focused on are Wichita and Kansas City...
Totally agree with CampRipleyLF. I really appreciate the details JTHOMP included in his post to make it easier to follow. I think this could be used on a number of small game, fowl, and store bought meat for less adventurous folks. Definitely going to share this with one of my hunting buddies...
Thanks for the input everyone! I (and my friends) really appreciate all of the input and advice. Also, huge shout out to the fellow Kansans out here! My friends and I hail from the Wichita area, so if anyone would ever want to get together for dinner/drinks and talk strategies or hunting...
Thanks for the advice Hunting Wife!
On pack size, I'm truly interested in doing some backcountry hunts and wasn't sure exactly how large of a pack is needed. I definitely wouldn't be soloing for those, mainly due to a lack of experience. I wondered about the pack design and how differently it...
