    Gloves and liners... again...

    I came here to post asking the same question. I melted my nomad kryptek gloves 2 years ago. They worked kind of ok last year there's a hole in them now. I really need another pair. I liked them because they are were polyester or something, and they didn't get snagged on stuff.

    VIAM Outdoors Insulator Quilts

    I get cold. I gave up and spent the money for a mountain hardware bag. They go on sale sometime cause I didn't spend $600 bucks on it, but it was spendy. I had the Trekker bag at base camp- I think -15 rated and I'd still be cold if it wasn't for handwarmers. However- I'm not normal- even my...

    Has Cabelas gone down hill?

    I have to weigh in here. When I was growing up in Missouri, Bass pro was great... Only the stuff you bought there broke when you ventured passed the backyard. I discovered Cabelas- I saved up all my money and bought an airgun from them that broke nearly out of the box. They refunded my money and...

    Idaho Boise River B Tag (Unit 39)

    Ran into a little 3 point as I was trying to get to a 4pt. The 4pt was behind a bunch of private land that I was trying to figure out how to hike around and get behind, and he seemed to know the property boundary line. So I got lazy and filled my freezer, but as they say I would have shot him on...

    Idaho Boise River B Tag (Unit 39)

    I'll add my .2 even though it late. I know someone with horse that is very successful in 39. I know an old guy that does the muzzy cow hunt and is also successful- though not as well as the guy with horses. I don't hunt 39, but I have thought about putting in for the cow tag- but for the...

    Any components in Spokane?

    SW Idaho is starting to have stuff come back into stock slowly.

    Idaho ML bullet

    The lead rule is an attempt to keep muzzle loaders from becoming an arms race. I can tell you the 295gr and the 350gr powerbelts shoot about the same in a cva wolf. 295grs get the job done, and so do the great plains 450gr in the .54 cal. I got some fed. bor-lok to try out- I'm going to pull the...

    Federal BOR-LOC 270 copper vs 350 lead for Elk

    I have to use lead only in Idaho. I would use copper if I had the option. I can tell you that within 100yrds 295gr lead power belts do a good job. I would expect that 270gr copper would work. I picked up a few of the bor-loks to try out. I pulled a deer tag this year so we'll see how that goes.

    Population Growth and Hunting in Rocky Mountain States

    I imagine they'll price out the normal folks and the mountains will be filled with 10k rifles and 2k worth of camo.

    Are overran National Parks a glimpse of the future of all our public lands?

    That or they increase prices until the poor folks can't afford it anymore.

    Grouse during elk season?

    I always wondered if it'd be legal to take one with a pistol or 22 etc, or if you'd need to use a shotgun of some sort.

    Bad factory ammo from Barnes

    That's really wild. I've seen some 556 surplus look like that, but I don't think I've seen hunting ammo ever look like that.

    Hunting cabins

    That's my idea of a cabin, but the wife's idea is me being Bezos. :)

    Hello from Idaho

    No Boise, treasure valley. Lewiston area would be great for hunting opportunities but moving isn't an option.
