    Not on Your Bucket List

    A great thread started about a sheep hunt got me thinking, we all talk about "Bucket List" hunts; but, what is 1 or 2 animals that aren't on your bucket list of animals to chase? My 2 animals at the top, which apparently isn't a popular opinion, are sheep and mountain goat. I think they are...

    Pleasent Surprise

    Was out today in the driftless region of SW WI and won the lottery!!! Was part of a 49 fish 3.5hrs with the fly rod. Wisconsin has no stocking for tiger trout makes this fish even more special to me. Hope to run into it another day.

    This is my first time doing a “big” write up on a hunt. And it ended up being a lot longer than I anticipated.

    Leftovers MT

    I have looked through past years and cant find anything and what I did confused me. If I dont draw an elk combo do I have to get on the alternate list or are the returned tags a first come first serve? I am not looking to hunt deer just a general elk tag.

    Routine

    I just read an article from dialedinhunter about being more efficient in the back country. Some good things in the article. The biggest thing I gained was that he eats dinner on the mountain around 1430-1500, so that he is not doing it during prime hunting or when he gets back to his tent at...

    Your one "comfort" item

    A previous post asking about comfort food got me thinking what is your 1 "comfort" item that weight doesn't matter and goes in your pack on a hunt? Mine is a helinox chair zero. And as bonus "comfort" a UCO single candle lantern.

    Wondering what you all do if you harvest a bull? Hunting with 2 other guys for 2 weeks. So if we get one the first couple days what should we do with the skull and antlers to preserve them. Do we skin the head and make sure to pick all the fat off the skull and just leave it hung up or what...
