Nothing works better than old bed sheets. You can get them anywhere, goodwill, and they are cheap and will last forever. -

Wall Tent?
A 12 X 16 minimum. Mine is 12 X 17.5. I also use a 10 X 12 attached to the front of the larger tent, for a kitchen. Perfect for 3 to 4 people for as long as you want. A good wood stove in the sleeping tent A 12 X 17.5 will give you room for 3 cots, I use roll a cots, a table, again a roll a... -

Has anyone hunted the Malard-Larkins area in Idaho?
Lots of wolves and heavy outfitter use in a small area. Winter kill was heavy in the late 90s and like all of units 10 and 12, to much hunting pressure from everything for a good rebound. -

Hauling Meat Inside A Pack
WW II GI pack board, prefer my elk quartered and packed out, I never bone out. I use bed sheets from the goodwill. Wrap your quarters up tight and they will stay clean and flies cannot blow through the material. Tie them on 1 at a time, nice and tight, and you can haul an elk out of anywhere.- ric

Which Meat Grinder?
I have the 1.5 hp Cabela's grinder. I grind around 500 plus lbs a year, and it is everything I could want. Unless you do a large amount of meat ( couple elk and deer a yr. ), you don't need this much power though.- ric

Best state for a non resdient youth
Idaho has the best deal by far for kids. Less than $100.00 for a non resident youth, 12 thru 17, for a hunting license, deer tag, and elk tag, with some cash left over!- ric

Help me with mountain whitetails
Is it worth my time to sit on and glass clearcuts? How much time should I spend in the timber vs. sitting on cuts/saddles/finger ridges? I spend very little time on clearcuts, instead work small clearings/brush in the timber. 90% of my time is in the timber, which can include cuts/saddles/finger... -

Help me with mountain whitetails
I have been hunting the same country for over 30 years. First and most important, you need to slow down, way down. I rarely cover more than a mile in a days hunting. The deer are there, just not responding to rattles and grunts and bleats. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't, but if you are...
