Yeah, going up the cliff right off crossing the North Fork river was a lot of fun. Really thought after the 4th time sliding back down the rock face I was going to break a bone, best case. 5th attempt was the charm.
No, as far as I could tell the box size is just to small to keep a good set of coals going. I had the air flow from low to high trying to keep it going at a reasonable rate. In the end it would go really hot and burn out within minutes or it would just smolder and fill the tent with smoke. The...
So here's a quick recap of my 2024 Idaho elk hunt. Packed everything into the target unit and while I may have forgotten the kitchen sink I think it was in there somewhere in my 90 lb pack, including rifle, etc. Ridiculous but not knowing how long or what to expect that's where it landed.
As...
Did the trip.
Having done it, I did but hey it was fun. Had a great time met some really awesome locals and didn't get my white cali tagged jeep destroyed by locals. LOL. Good people out there for sure.
Took mine to Idaho in November. Nothing wanted to get in front of me but they did take a beating just being on the sticks. I'll post back once I've had a real chance to used them.
I picked up a set for an upcoming elk hunt. Great service, they contacted me to ensure my shipping info was correct. They shipped them right out and I'm very happy with the setup. While I haven't used them yet in the field they look like quality, parts fit nicely, seem sturdy and I'm looking...
So I'm doing the logistics on hunting Idaho unit 39 rifle hunt during the 10/27 - 11/9 time slot. I've read through the forums and I'm prepared for the sea of orange, that's what I'm telling myself now, LOL. Yes, I'm planning on staying away from roads by at least a mile. Right now I'm thinking...

It's a variation of the dryer lint and Vaseline that I have used before but I like this a bit better, less mess. Looks like a no brainier to make. The candle wax is about $30 on Amazon so that's your major expense.
I used an Eno double hammock on my 2016 AZ elk hunt and loved it. Temps were around 40 with the lowest around 28-30. Below 36 degrees I would need to upgrade my sleeping bag to keep using the hammock. My only fear was the two skunks that came into our camp most nights looking for food. I kept...
Well I'm going to be 60 this year and have treated myself to a Idaho elk hunt. Not a good unit but it will be fun doing a solo backpack hunt. I'm also trying not to spend the kings ransom on tent and stove. I've looked at all the really nice $$ hot tent and titanium stoves and I'm going to...
Thanks for the info guys. I'm rigging up for an Idaho elk hunt this fall and looking for a new bino system. Looks like either FHF or Marsupial. Think I'm leaning toward the Marsupial. Anyone use the gun attachment? I'd like to have my sidearm handy and that looks like it fits the bill.
