    Zero Degree Bag

    For sure. My hoodie has been a life-saver (not literally) for me.

    Whats everyone's hunting season workout look like?

    This is my second year doing the Elk Fit workout from MTN OPS. I did it twice last year, and at 38 years old, it might have been the best shape I've ever been in! I put a 35 lb bag of sand in my pack. I get lots of looks and questions at the gym. :LOL...

    Randy and Corey at RMEF Mountain Festival

    I had the chance to attend the RMEF Mountain Festival this last weekend. I thought it was cool to see Randy and Corey Jacobsen just cruising around mingling. Randy, at one point, was just chilling in the GoHunt tent. These dudes are as approachable as they seem on TV and podcast. I really...

    Yeah, me too. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check Nemo out!

    Zero Degree Bag

    I want to add a zero degree bag to my gear. I have a late December Utah elk hunt and want to make sure I stay warm. Seems like 0 degree would be the way to go. I'm not really looking to spend $500 on a sleeping bag. What has your experience been? I've looked at Klymit and Big Agnes so far and...

    Getting started with bears

    That's what I gather. I had to take Utah's online course for bear and it was still confusing about telling M/F apart despite the descriptions given.

    Getting started with bears

    The idea of bear hunting intrigues me. I've started exploring the idea a bit more. I plan to start applying in my home state of Utah. It looks like it'll take a few years to draw a tag. What advice would you give someone with no experience bear hunting? I'll be doing spot-and-stalk. No dogs...

    Highly packable soft shell outer layer?

    I just picked up the King's Camo XKG packable down jacket. Super warm and so light!

    Can you talk me out of getting a GSP

    GSP was on my list. I wanted a bird dog. My wife wanted a dog that didn't shed (much). We settled on a vizsla. They a versatile breed, but the downside is they don't have an undercoat (hence, very little shedding), so late season duck hunting is tough on them, even with neoprene. But we have...

    Idaho hates NRs.

    The most recent Elk Talk podcast with Randy and Corey Jacobsen tackled this a bit. NR tag numbers stayed the same, but price went up and there are now NR caps by unit. For those talking about increased pressure, Randy made some points about that pressure actually coming from population increases...

    New Podcast with Big Fin and Hal

    Definitely one of my favorites too!

    New Podcast with Big Fin and Hal

    I've got an hour left on this one, but I'm digging it. Love hearing Randy's passion, and Hal is a wealth of knowledge. I remember Randy saying once that he's a Life NRA member. I wonder if he might be able to be a voice of reason for the once-proud organization? It's heartbreaking to see how...

    New from Utah

    Grew up in south Louisiana fishing and occasionally squirrel hunting. Got into hunting big time after moving to Utah. I do mainly upland hunting with my dog (a vizsla) and have a few few grouse and pheasants to show for it. I would love to one day get a bull elk and bighorn sheep. My buddy and I...

    Which states to hunt

    I've only picked up hunting in the last three years and at 38 years old I realize I won't likely be able to hunt all my dream species. I am a Utah resident and can only apply for one Limited Entry and one Once-in-a-lifetime permit. I've opted to just accumulate points for LE bull elk and OIL...
