    Your Close Calls

    When I was 12 yrs old I set off with my dad on his first ever elk hunt on the North Slope of the Uintahs in Utah. My sister was 14 at the time and we stopped at a meadow to glass for elk. There was a light 3” of snow on the ground and we weren’t far from camp. My sister opted to head back to...

    2nd bear

    When I compare spring bear hides to fall bear hides I can’t really tell a difference in fur quality. If you plan to flesh the bears yourself, you will definitely tell a difference in the amount of fat you are fleshing off. In the spring the bears will have much less fat. I consider this to be...

    Anyone else hunt with a .257 Roberts?

    Sorry to take so long to reply. I have been out of tow. For me. There is no better rifle. I just weighed it and it weighs 6.6 lbs with scope and sling and 3 rounds in the mag. I really like going back country and deep and this rifle is my enabler. So far we have concluded that it really...

    2nd bear

    Appreciate the replies. He rendered into to 10 jars of oil and I have the hide fleshed and frozen. Skull is cleaned and in the peroxide. Already had a plate of Carne Guisada. I am anxious to get back out for elk. He is my 2nd bear for Idaho where we are allotted 2 bears per year. Kinda sad I...

    2nd bear

    Went out elk hunting. The elk weren’t really rutting too hard. So I brought home a consolation bear.

    Anyone following the Missing Hunter in Colorado? Scary deal 2 missing since Thursday. Prayers!

    Update on this: Looks like they were both found deceased. Most likely from a lightning strike.

    Basemaps

    I have been using BaseMaps instead of OnX in the last month when offline and no reception it asks me to upgrade in order to drop pins or track movements. I have emailed several times. I have a paid subscription for heavens sakes! My employees all used basemaps maps and my friends who use OnX...

    When is it too much?

    I don’t think the solution will ever be stop elk hunting if that is what you are hoping for…. Never going to happen.

    How big of a roll does hunting play in your life?

    Forgive me for not wanting to get to that point, yet. This thread has kept me preoccupied just long enough that tomorrow I finally get to leave to go elk hunting.

    How big of a roll does hunting play in your life?

    I am not sure if you guys are familiar with Tony Abbott, but he wrote a book called the Sportsman’s IQ. It goes into how employment can be navigated in order to truly pursue your passions. I also follow him on Facebook and Instagram and you can see how he works as a guide for large amounts of...

    Rock Hounding

    My wife really gets into it. I took her to Ruby Rapids and she went nuts over the garnets. We also picked up some snake skin agates and agate nodules.

    How big of a roll does hunting play in your life?

    This forum is good company I am glad to not be an outlier. I keep the bills paid, but I am not taking some desk job just to conform.

    How big of a roll does hunting play in your life?

    I have been wondering how many forum members are as invested as me. To give light to my obsession. I struggle to adhere to a career due to the obligation to work in the fall. I once had a career but when I submitted my PTO it was denied and it blew my mind to learn that PTO had to be approved...

    Went out bear hunting

    Grabbed my 13 yr old from football practice and headed up to go see if we could get us some bears. We arrived at about 11:00 pm to our camp spot and out of exhaustion we just set up cots in the dirt and slept under the open sky. As the sun started to come up we packed our bags and headed up the...
