    What Ammo is This?

    Found this ammo cleaning out my wife's grandfather's storage unit. He didn't have any firearms, or any other ammunition, so not sure why this was in the lot. Just curious what it is. I'm admittedly ignorant with gun knowledge and my Google skills couldn't turn anything up. I thought .410 at...

    Camp Showers

    Seriously considering a tank less water heater setup for base camp. My hunting style usually consists of 2-3 day satellite excursions with recharges at a truck base camp. This season and next I'm cashed in on Elk points (wife too) in a unit where day hunts are going to be practical. We also...

    Re-Booting -Trials and Blisterations

    I've run Schnee's Beartooth for the last 9 years. They have been great boots; durable, fit my picky feet more than OK and waterproof. The only downside, to me, is the weight penalty. I've been on a journey trying to lighten my boot weight and decrease foot/leg fatigue heavy leather boots cause...

    Sleeping Pad Comfort

    I've been running a Sea to Summit Ultralight Insulated Air Pad for 6 years. It's been very durable and I have no complaints about the quality. Comfort wise, I'm looking to improve. The pad is only 2 inches thick, so I have to inflate it to max pressure or I hit the ground when I'm sleeping...

    Insoles

    Update: Spenco RX Thin Lightweight Cushioning Insole were the winners for me. I did like the SOF sole alot, but unfortunately they were a little too thick for my hunting boots which I run true to size. I ended up putting them in my work boots, which are sized up, and they are perfect in those...

    2.5 Man Shelter Thoughts

    Looking for some ideas as I'd like to add a lightweight, 3 man (really 2.5) shelter setup for September backpack Elk Hunts. Me (6'2), My wife (5'4), and my 8 year old Son (4'11). Lots of good Memorial Day weekend sales right now and I'd like to pick something up soon. I'm also not opposed to...

    Freezer Insurance

    I imagine I'm not the only one who has lost a freezer or two...or three full of meat for one reason or another. As someone who caches a years worth of venison and fish at a time, carefully vaccum sealed and catalogued, I've been less upset over long-term relationships ending than when I have...

    Boot Rebuild Vs. New & Fit Thoughts

    I have a 4 year old pair of Schnee's Beartooth that need new tread. They have a lot of miles on them, but I know them well and that brings me peace of mind. I can get a full rebuild through Schnee's at $180...or buy a new pair for another $120 or so. I'm also considering looking at other...

    Priced Out of Replacement Blade Knives

    I ran through 4 blades last night cutting up a big boar hog and thought nothing of it. I like a sharp edge and replacement blades are (were) cheap. Realized I'm getting low and hopped online to buy a bulk pack of 50 for my havalon and was floored.....$100! Absolute insanity as I bought a box...

    Deer Hunting Wisconsin Early November

    Just learned I'm going to be in Milwuakee Oct. 30-Nov. 2. Bummed a little because I have a pretty sweet deer hunt here at home in Florida that week, but got to thinking about extending my trip for a few days in the Wisconsin Deer woods to make up for it. It seems like that's the early rut...

    WTB Youth Size Hunting/Mountain Clothes

    Looking for hand me down youth size hunting apparel for my 7 year old son. He'll be hunting elk with me in late September again this year and I hope to avoid buying new since he'll grow out of it before next year. Primary items I'm looking for are base layers, warm/puffy jacket, hoodies, rain...

    Spooky Experience With a Stove in a Tipi...What Went Wrong?

    First trip with a titanium stove in a tipi on a late season hunt. We had built nice fires for several nights in an area with lots of usable oak and mixed in some pine too. I never gave it much thought. We would keep it going through the night in single digit temps by rotating wakeup duties...

    Ultralight Cordage Reccomendations

    Every year I lug around 100' of 550 paracord from walmart in my pack. 50' is used for hanging food and the other 50' is kept in my kill bag for hanging meat, etc. It's heavy and bulky. I know this, but still punish myself out of convenience. This year I'm changing. There are so many options...

    My 2022 Archery Bull

    Been saving this one for a while. Hope this helps spur some excitement with September just 27 days away. This trip proved to be as special as I hoped it would be. I drew an awesome tag and this was going to be a family adventure, so that meant the wife and kids would be coming along for the...

    Wife's Muskox and Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep Mount

    The 2021 draw season was pretty unbeleivable for my wife. She drew TWO once in many lifetime hunts and we are fortunate to have some incredible memories which will now be accented by pretty cool trophies. We recently got her mounts back and couldn't be more pleased with how they turned out...

    Meat Care on Extended or Multi-State Hunting Trips

    What do you guys do with meat on extended and/or multi state hunting trips? Example…I’m hunting in state A and kill a bull on day 1. With 2 weeks of vacation time left, I’d love to head to another state and try for another elk or an archery antelope. This scenario has played out for me before...
