    Where, For A Month?

    Say you had an entire month to chase animals in the backcountry. Where would you go? It'll have to be OTC because I don't gamble anymore, and budget is a major factor. Where would you spend a month this season? I'm thinking muley's and elk in Idaho, but what would you do?

    Movie review-"Happy People"

    Found an interesting film on Netflix this morning, Happy People by Werner Herzog. It follows a Siberian trapper for a year, and includes traditional canoe making, ski making, trapping, and fishing techniques(just a warning it's sub-titled). I know quality outdoor films are few and far between...

    SE Alaska Hunt Report

    This was my first trip to Alaska, and I have to say it was well worth the wait. My partner had an elk/deer/bear tags in his pocket, I had a couple deer tags and a black bear tag. My journey to Alaska started with a four hour drive down to Arlington Virginia Wednesday night. Early Thursday...

    Unlimited Hunt- Update

    Well Men, prepare for disappointment. Obviously, I'm sitting in front of a computer and not up on the mountain for the opener. In 4 days of scouting it became painfully obvious, it's just physically impossible for a lone person to get a sheep out of those mountains. I came off the mountain...

    A Quick Trip...

    to the Dolly Sods Wilderness in West Virginia. I'd never been there before, and it was pretty awesome. An odd combination of river crossings, steep climbs, mud, rock scrambling, and cutback descents. I did 12 miles yesterday in a pretty constant downpour/rain. Today, more showers woke me up...

    Fear.

    Lions, tigers, and bears. Oh my! What scares you the most in the backcountry? For me it's skunks and blisters. But, this year I'm going to be in griz country for 20 nights(the first 14 alone). Not sure what the mental effect will be.

    A ? about wolves and marketing.

    Does using wolves for marketing help or hurt the on going battle about wolf management? Does this ad campaign change your opinion of Mystery Ranch? Kletterwerks is one of their "hipster" brands.

    Sunglasses

    I've owned the same pair of $20 polycarbonate shaded safety glasses for the past 8 years. Last week I lost them. I'm looking for suggestions to replacement them. Driving, fishing, all around outdoor use is the priority. Thanks.

    Shipping A Rifle?

    Just scanned through the UPS, FedEx, and USPS regs on shipping a rifle. Which is the easiest to use? I'm shipping it to gunsmith, can I just send it in a case or do I have to put the case in a box?
