    Another One Bites The Dust... So long Kuiu

    If possible show my ignorance some grace, but didn’t Sitka get bought up by W.L. Gore? Which seems to me more like vertical integration rather than the same situation as the PE firms that bought SG, or Simms, KUIU etc. Not intending to be confrontational, genuinely curious what information I’m...

    2026 ID DEA Controlled hunt results

    I guess any engagement on the thread is beneficial, even if it doesn’t add any obvious value.

    2026 ID DEA Controlled hunt results

    Apologies if I missed a thread for this already. In anticipation of all the unsuccessfuls I expect from NV, I’m already turning to my last shot at tags. Based on MGS draw results posting early, does anyone care to guess when DEA results will be announced? Or has anyone tracked lead time between...

    Idaho Lifetime license holders and NR tag restrictions

    Preface: Please excuse this post if redundant. I did a cursory search on here and didn't find anything specific. Are lifetime license holders in Idaho that have since become non-residents restricted to limited non-resident "OTC" tags? I know you have to pay NR tag fees and get a non-resident...

    Great American Outdoors Act

    Absolutely correct, I made a weak attempt to allude to that by just saying "another step forward." I was only keeping the thread current, I thought it would be instructive for members to see which senators would show up for a 1 am vote as well.

    How many trips for a solo pack-out

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Sage advice above! My opinion: 4 with a camp. My advice for the first time you're solo is to make sure you have at least 30% more time per mile than you think you need before you take the shot. Also, snow makes everything except meat care more difficult/time consuming...

    Idaho December Elk Unit 46-2

    This isn't a super useful response, but I have to wonder if there's enough snow south to push many of the bulls down off the mountains in NV.

    Time for Land Tawney to step down?

    You'll have to forgive my unfortunate assumption that the picture you displayed was a public land CSP installation such as Ivahpah or Crescent Dunes. Neither of those locations are quality habitat for mule deer. With respect to solana, it's a private land development that derives much of its...

    Time for Land Tawney to step down?

    Mule deer didn't live there before the CSP plant. Now if we're talking desert tortoise, maybe you have a point.

    Why my pack sucks: Kifaru, Stone Glacier, Exo, Seek, Mystery Ranch, Kuiu, etc.

    SG fanboy here. Sky Talus w/xcurve-2 years. After adjusting shoulder straps as indicated in one of their videos, it's the best load-bearing pack I've ever had on. I think it's the ability to rotate the shoulder straps outward some that makes the difference and prevents rubbing on my...

    Zinke intends to move BLM HQ, etc

    Logistically, it's more challenging to get to the majority of BLM lands from Grand Junction than DC, even if you exclude AK. I've not seen a compelling argument on this thread as to the tangible benefits of this move besides the red herring of spending less on people's salaries(as if that...
