Shoutout to EXO
Big shoutout to EXO Mountain Gear! I purchased their K3 4800 when they first came out with the K3 line. Apparently there was some issue with the aluminum they first used for the frames in the K3. Shortly after purchase, I received the notice regarding a replacement titanium frame but failed to...- smithja79

Unit 16 Wyoming
We camped there about five days total. We were in a small travel trailer, so had plenty of water with us. -
Unit 16 Wyoming
My dad and I hunted 16 during the second week this past fall. It was our first time to Wyoming and first time antelope hunting. But, we were both able to get bucks in there. Probably a bit of luck, but we each got them on small pockets of public land using gps/onxmaps. We saw quite a few... -

Recommended Stops along I-90 through Montana
My dad and I are getting ready to leave next week for our Wyoming antelope trip. We'll be coming from Washington, heading along I-90 through Montana and into Wyoming. Just checking if there's any recommended places to grab a bite along this route in Montana. We're trying to make a fun road...- smithja79

Idaho Unit 19A for Elk
After doing some research (GoHunt Insider, Onyx Maps, Forum Searches, etc.) I think I'm going to try Idaho unit 19A in hopes of getting my first elk this year. Put in for some controlled hunts but was unsuccessful so I'm planning on an OTC rifle hunt. I'm in good shape and prepared to hike in... -
Another noob to WY Antelope
Yeah, I was trying to decide how to make it a surprise. At this point I think I'm just going to have the whole thing planned, then tell him in the next couple weeks just to make sure he doesn't make other plans. It will still be a surprise I guess. And, if it's all planned out I think he'll... -
Another noob to WY Antelope
Thanks guys, great advice. We are definitely willing to hunt does, but it would obviously be nice to have a buck opportunity as well. The special draw isn't out of the question, but I've seen success stories from people who went into the limited access units and I think I'd like to try that... -
Another noob to WY Antelope
Thanks guys for the input. I think I will spring for the GoHunt subscription too, because I am thinking about an Idaho elk trip this year. Really appreciate the advice so far. Hopefully this is just the beginnings of a great hunting story! -
Another noob to WY Antelope
My dad has always wanted to do an antelope hunt and, since he's turning 60 this year, I've decided to plan a surprise trip to Wyoming for him and I. Neither of us have ever been there and have 0 points. I've started doing some research and am looking to put in for some of the units that are... -
New guy from Washington
Thanks guys. I wish there was an epic story to go along with that buck. He's my biggest to date but was shot embarrassingly close to camp. I really hit it hard in Idaho, hiking miles every day but never getting a shot. Met my dad in the Methow on the way back from Idaho and this guy wandered...- smithja79

New guy from Washington
Thought I would officially introduce myself. Found this forum a little while back after hearing Randy on some podcasts. My name is Jake and I've been hunting Washington all of my life but just started to get interested in some out-of-state hunting. I went on a great 10 day trip in the back...- smithja79
