    Base camp tent

    Recently came across the White duck Regatta and I’ve been researching it more than anything else. Does anyone have one of these? I’ve been looking into the 13’ Regatta. Looks like a pretty good setup.

    Delusional response from the White House.

    Just like any other thing. Blame it on the other guy and boasting about look at what I did. No wonder we don’t make any real progress on anything.

    If I could get any, it would be anything Schmidt and Bender.

    Roadless Rule Rescinded

    They can say whatever they want but I’d say it’s all about making more money off tourism, logging and everything else. They don’t care about the animals and the habitat until someone posts a video of something happening to an animal and everyone gets ticked off then not seeing the root cause of...

    Packable Rain Gear

    Bought a used outdoor research foray that seems to be brand new and picked up a pair of beyond goretex pants from another huntalker and spent less than $200 combined.

    Solo Hunting Tips

    Not any one place in particular just asking what tips those that go solo on trips on trips out west do regarding logistics, financials, etc. I live in the east so it's not a jump in the truck after work and drive a few hours and I'm where I want to be kind of thing. Mainly colorado and in the...

    New Bolt Action Rifle Recommendations

    I would get a tikka or if you’re like me when I go to the local gun store, I keep eye balling a Win Model 70 extreme weather in 6.5 prc that keeps jumping out to me on the used rack for $1,300 which is a deal in my opinion.

    Solo Hunting Tips

    Good advice, thanks for the input. I train throughout the year for the same reasons and usually do a loaded pack hike a few times a month and as it gets closer to season, I increase the frequency of those and usually do 12 mile loop with a loaded pack a month or two out from a trip. I tend to be...

    Solo Hunting Tips

    That is a genius plan. I keep a little notebook every year for hunting, essentially a hunting journal but didn't think of doing this.

    Solo Hunting Tips

    I'm from WV. I'm usually drinking anywhere from 2-4 liters a day depending on what I'm doing. I have a zoleo that I purchased following my first trip out west, along with basic survival supplies, med kit and a compass.

    Solo Hunting Tips

    I have been out west once, we got into some elk just not a legal one. I feel like I learned more from that trip than I have in any other hunting trip I''ve ever gone on.

    Solo Hunting Tips

    I was referring to the packout part for mule deer and whitetail hunting not in general as I've never hunted mule deer.

    Solo Hunting Tips

    I do enjoy hunting by myself but the cross country trip is the part that I have no experience with. I'm not too worried with gear. I have most of the basic stuff and it's not all one brand specific either. I have the personal locater beacon, tent, rifle with good glass, experience hunting and...

    Solo Hunting Tips

    How far in advance do you start saving for the trip (tag, fuel, extra unexpected expense, etc)? I feel like if I go every other year, I have pretty much two years in between to save and have set aside for tag, fuel, etc. I have been planning on paying for the tag prior to the hunt, in my case...

    Solo Hunting Tips

    For those that solo hunt. What are the biggest challenges you face going out of state for a hunt? Just looking into seeing what others do for their out of state hunts. I hunt solo at home and hunt with my oldest two kids but nothing more than that. I primarily would be out of state hunting in...
