    Old time photos and a new video

    I've occasionally posted in the past, but I'm not a regular. I like to make some videos with a buddy of a lot of our hunting together (like a lot of others these days I know). But I decided to step it up some and enter my first film festival. In the course of doing it I dug through a lot of old...

    An informed opinion on getting into sheep/goat draws?

    So I just watched the mountain goat meat eater hunt and I've always kicked around the idea of "Would I like to do a sheep/goat someday?" Because I could sure afford to go on more elk/deer hunts if I didn't plan on the $ for one. But the question the show brought to my mind is has anyone done...

    Looking ahead to planning a hunt in MT in 2021 when my buddies kid turns 12. have enough points that I can draw a limited archery hunt for elk and go back with with a buddy and his son for general deer. I actually shot my first buck in Big Timber (but grew up in PA) on the Grosfield ranch on...

    Best case to fit bow and rifle?

    Not sure if this is best forum for this or not. Searching for a new hard case that will take airport handling abuse for trips. Often have to fly. Currently I have an SKB base that fits my bow, but nothing else. I'd like to find a case that will fit 2 bows or a bow and rifle (we're going to...

    Trying to pin down 2019 plans -- First time in WY

    I am asking with the hope that anyone might have an opinion on some Wyoming elk units. My friends should be thankful that I'm being generous and sharing a pile of elk points with them. Across our group we have enough points that we should be able to draw either unit 27, 39, or 40. Does anyone...

    Finally! Got my first elk and could't ask for more

    Was finally able to get my first elk! and a nice bull at that. This was my 5th time out west in the last 5 years and after a number of close calls I finally got it done. We weren't on public land for this trip but did a ranch hunt in NW Colorado. We had my buddies dad and a couple friends of...

    2018 Idaho OTC Report

    A buddy and I were in Idaho on an OTC tag and hunted from September 15-26. We met up with a friend we made from our Idaho unit last year (who is from ID). Once again most everyone we met in Idaho was awesome. Heading west for us each year is something we look forward to for 11 months of the...

    Youth Hunting Applications

    As this application season is winding down I am thinking (way) ahead. But, kids grow up quick. In the hopes that my kids (4 and 6) will want to join me on hunting trips are there any states I can start accumulating points for them before they reach legal hunting age? Thanks.

    Decoy - is it worth it?

    I expect I will be solo packing 3ish miles in to elk hunt this year. How many other people use a decoy? Think its worth packing in when I'm carrying all the other gear for my week myself? I can rationalize it as A. Its just extra weight and should stay home or B. I'm by myself and don't have a...

    Wood fired campstove?

    I have a Primus stove for cooking while camping but am intrigued by the idea of the wood fired ones like the Solo Stove. Does anybody use a stove like this on backcountry trips during hunting season rather than pack one that requires you also packing in the fuel?
