I have not put in for turkeys in over a decade for a spring tag. All of my turkey experience has been sneaking up and blasting them. This year the old man asked me if i wanted to put in for turkeys with him. He is almost done with hunting, age and injuries makes it not enjoyable for him...
Heyo team —
As Randy noted in the first thread on this section, we're starting to make gearlists that will span from things like backcountry hunts to pack-supported hunts to how @Big Fin & the Fresh Tracks team outfit their hunting rigs.
The first list up for discussion is:
Randy's Top...
...for everyone to find. Basically, we're building a small hub of written media over at HTTP://www.hunttalk.com/strategy. This will include gearlists, basic how-to info, and whatever else seems good for sharing.
We're keeping a master list of every active promo code that will be updated as...
I'm going on a mountain lion hunt at the end of the month. I have the layers of cloths under control, boots, gators, pack and rifle. Are there any items on a hunt like this that I guy forgets about? I have trekking poles and snowshoes as well. I'm going with an outfitter and plan to ask him...
Colorado bound Wednesday after next, 10-26 Ken Jr., a longtime hunter friend, and myself. Trailering 3-4 large coolers, hope we have to buy more. So it begins . . . first elk trip since '19, too long.
I am planning a backpacking elk hunt next year, Colorado 1st rifle at around 10,000-11,000 feet. Will have a wall tent at the truck, spike camp deeper in. Will be splitting tent, stove, fuel weight with a buddy. Will be going in and scouting for 4-5 days before season opens. Been getting...

Had a very generous cash Christmas. Planning a Petersburg or P.O.W. Blacktail hunt for 2021. Planning for August, but I want to kit one time for all seasons while this money is burning a hole in my pocket.
@Big Fin - I would love a shop talk on this...
It's time to take my medicine and...
A lot of discussion on gear on here, and I’m packing now so I figured I could put my list here. Maybe it could be useful to someone.
This is what I’m taking to Alaska to help on an August dall sheep hunt.
It would be adjusted to have warmer clothes for a later hunt
This is what I’ve found...
Getting ready for season coming up and need to start hitting the mountain and wanted to share my gearlist with y’all. What do you think? Is there anywhere I could save weight or things I should add? Or maybe something out there that works better then what I have? This is for a three day...
This'n'll most likely be an OIL ticket ride for me...one more wake up and it's off to the Land of Enchantment. Temps look to be dropping and possible precip next week where I'm headed. Have busted butt getting gym ready but came up with a bum shoulder due to a tree getting in the way of my...
Hey all,
A bunch of us drew POW tags. I think all 3 others have been multiple times but this is my first. I'm sure we'll start talking logistics like location and dates and gear needs in the coming months however I'm stuck at home with a bum leg so I need something to occupy my time. I have...
Hunting Second Rifle I have a muley buck tag and bear tag in my hand. My brother has a bull tag and muley buck tag. We are hunting units 18, 28, 37, and 371. Although unless something crazy happens we will mostly be in 18 and 28. Being first timers I'd like some input on my gear it's...
I'll be hunting an island in BC for a week in September. I'll be boating in and staying there the entire week. Tent camp. Primitive. Solo. Anyone have a gearlist(s) they'd like to share.
Drew a tag for 4th season mule deer hunt. What is the best strategy or approach for this type of hunt? I will be passing smaller bucks. Unit is mix of public and private with elevations of 7k to 10k. Is a quad or side by side a good idea? Chains for tires on truck. With the limited number of...
Spend my money!
I should have enough points for a general Wyoming elk tag next year. So I'm comparing my gear now to what I'll "need" next year. So I'd like help in setting the priority of my purchases. I could easily go today so these are just what items I should upgrade. Note: I've spent...
I just filmed a friend's dall sheep hunt and in preparation I made some backcountry gear/food videos. Not claiming to be an expert just showing what I did. Everything went well as far as gear and food but I'm always looking to improve my list. Thoughts and ideas?

It's been quite a while since I went to the trouble of weighing gear and plugging in alternatives, although I usually weigh my pack the day I leave and day I get back from a backpack trip. This is my favorite backpack hunt every year and it looks like this time the weather is going to be pretty...
Howdy folks-- I'll be rifle mule deer hunting for 4 days in CO at around 10k ft elevation and I'm starting to make my gear check list. I'd love to see yall's if you got one to paste in forum. Always interesting to compare and double check. All my deer hunting has been in a completely different...
...a trip to northeast Utah for the general elk season in mid October and I need some experienced guys to help me look for any gaps in my gearlist. From what I understand, the weather will be cool with highs in the 60s and lows in the 30s with a likely probability of snow. We plan on setting up...
