    The bipod delima

    I'm not bringing this up asking for advice as I realize it's a personal preference as to hunting with an attached rifle bipod. I see pros and cons to both. I have a Christianson Firearms Carbon Classic that I really enjoy shooting and hunting with. It is chambered in 300 WM. I have killed...

    Educate me on wallows

    My basic question is, do multiple bulls use the same wallow? And, do same wallows get used every year? I found a fresh wallow Oct. 7th, sat 200 yards from it two days later and killed a bull about 70 yards from it. I believe he was headed to it. Just thinking about trying to hunt same wallow on...

Watched him run off then turn around and walk away. Arizona my glasses continued to fog up chasing the herd...

    What do you think about this puffy?

    140 grams of synthetic down insulation. I think the color is called charcoal. That's all that is left. Mark down to $39.99. Pursuit which is a company from Drake waterfowl clothing. Just curious how it would compare to some of the high-end expensive stuff.

    DIY stove jack

    I have been making a few post about tents. I'm in the market to buy one. I found what I think is a pretty good deal on a new in box Canvas Camp Pro 500 16' bell tent.

    Elk Mountain Tents

    Just recently discovered this company out of Nampa, Idaho. Customer service rep claims the synthetic/canvas blend is better than the cotton canvas tents. Claims less mold if put up wet, more durable, etc. Seems less rigid than cotton canvas so Im concerned with how well will it hold up to snow...

    Teton Sports Sierra 16 tent (any good?)

    I'm searching for a good quality tent that won't let me down in rain or cold. I have Colorado 1st rifle elk hunt coming mid October. I have decided on using wood heat. Obviously I don't want a leaky tent in rain or a flimsy tent that snow will smash. Does anyone know the quality of the Teton...

    RIP Charlie Kirk

    Sad day we have come to in America when different views can result in assassination and assassination attempts on political figures/political activist. Sympathy for his wife and young children. Regardless of where you stand politically this is cowardly and disgusting. I wish I had not watched...

    Colorado elk scouting trip/family camping

    I used my 5 points to draw first rifle. Last year same tag took 3 points to draw so I applied hoping point creep wouldn't get me. Soon to be 50 and never have killed an elk. I've been a part of 5 elk pack out/recoveries and 1 moose but none were mine. I've had 3 archery tags and got tag soup...

    Anyone have wood floor experience?

    Need to remodel our house. Thinking about pulling out all the carpet and installing wood floor to cut down on dust allergies. Here's the problem. The foundation has a crack down the middle of floor and I'm not spending the $50k to repair it. The crack may be close to an inch higher on one side...

    Actual waterproof boots-do they exist?

    Just curious if there really is such a thing as a waterproof lace-up boot or is it a myth? Thinking about a boot for elk hunting among other hunts. I'm not meaning walking through creeks with boots fully submerged. Just a good boot that won't get your socks wet if walking through wet grass or if...

    Idaho moose refund problems

    So about a week ago I checked my online banking app and discovered my NR moose tag refund credit to my checking account. Shortly after I spend the money with an online purchase to buy supplies for my company which I received later in the week. Last Friday evening comes along and my online...

    Looking to invest in camping tent (canvas type). Don't want a leaky tent! In my research for a tent I realize the options vary and not only size and price but also quality. Just curious if anyone has ever tried putting some type of water repellent on their tent? I was thinking about whatever...

    Rain gear

    Looking for opinions on a rain suit to throw in my pack and have in case a shower pops up while in the mountains chasing elk. From my research it seems 4 way stretch is pretty important. Also compact and fairly light is important. What might rank highest on list of importance is tough enough to...

    Men in Black

    Drake has been harassing me to take him fishing. He had our poles and tackle all loaded up in the truck and ready to go. Even though I've been busy it's hard to tell him no when the boy wants to get outside and go and wet a hook. So we hit a farm pond we fished late last summer and caught these...

Now that duck season is over and it is still goose season this was the perfect scenario. A local farmer lets me hunt his pond it is about 3 to 4...
