    Smith and Rogue: Sleeping bag

    Picked up the Smith and Rogue 50/50 4S (4season) sleeping bag for a few hunts this fall. Just want to say it worked great and a good option especially at that price point and still compressed down nice. I wasn't backpacking in anywhere, but still compresses well. (Less than $300) Its a good...

    Lessons learned: hunting partners

    Glad you were still able to find a buck to get this year! It definitely is rewarding getting a deer. Also helping others is great! I have been on quite a few packouts this year so far. Always great! Yeah, those that don't take initiative early in the preparation might be a flag that the hunt...

    Lessons learned: hunting partners

    Yes, the North Idaho jungle and creeping through the woods is still effective. I like the moving aspect, never know what is over the next ridgeline/creek.

    Lessons learned: hunting partners

    Definitely enjoy only a few, but with similar hunt styles. Part of the hunt is getting my dad out there, part may be nostalgia. Idaho non resident draw is tough. But a saying I have that I should have listened to is "nostalgia hinders progress" Either way, definitely learned items and want to...

    Lessons learned: hunting partners

    The following is somewhat of a expression of frustration but there are reminders for all in hunting partners and expectations. Yes its long, but it was a frustrating week. I almost ended up leaving partway through as it how it was turning out, it wasn't worth my time, but my dad was with, so...

    How steep is too steep?

    North Idaho is pretty steep here. Someone mentioned understanding the items you can grab onto, another thing to worry on that steep stuff is how wet is the brush and branches. More than I can count I have slid on a branch or huckleberry brush walking down a steep slope in the morning. The...

    My General Tag

    Dude epic story so far. Thanks for sharing your thoughts/emotions through this. Take this as a reference point too and use it as a moment in the future to remind yourself of. Solo hunting is a bit different, and having this experience now can definitely help in the future. Always working on it...

    Pulling cams today

    At least they gave you the SD card. They should have an SD card reader and just copy over the photos to their phone and leave your camera in place. Maybe give them the hot tip on the SD card reader lol
