    Dog tracking system

    What tracking collar/system do you guys use? Pros and cons? I’ve got the old Astro system and it may be time to replace it with a new pup on the way.

    measuring rimfire ammo

    I was looking at the rimfire gauge sold by Neil Jones custom products while buying some other items. Why not measure the overall length of the cartridge as opposed to using this tool? Also, as someone who has no knowledge of reloading, is rim thickness something you'd measure in centerfire...

    Colorado Maroon Bells Unit 43

    My dad and I are planning a return trip to Colorado for muzzle loader elk this year. We're looking into both the Marble area as well as Sopris to the north. I have spoken with a number of individuals including hunt planners, the region warden/biologist, as well as a forest service ranger. All...

    bear proof food storage

    Headed to the Maroon Bells wilderness elk hunting this September and I've come to learn that I'll need bear proof food storage. I know about the IGBC requirements, but was wondering about others' experiences with different makes, models, etc... I'd also like to hear any advice on packing them...

    Until next season

    Today was our last day of grouse hunting here in Pennsylvania, so it looks like bird hunting is done until October. We managed to get one rabbit but no birds. The best part of the day, aside from watching my old man's setter, was stumbling upon an elk bedding area. The beds were still warm...

    How do you do it?

    My dad and I are planning our third trip to Colorado for muzzle loader elk. What I'm wondering is, how do you guys choose a unit with limited experience as a non resident?

    A proper introduction

    I've been registered for a little while on here but have never introduced myself. From western Pennsylvania my whole life, hunting just about everything possible, but I'd say grouse hunting is by far the most enjoyable. I would enjoy coon hunting a lot more if my dog found more than just empty...

    Soft tops for pickup trucks

    I'm looking at buying a new to me pickup come spring. I really like having a cap on the bed but it gets frustrating having to line up help to get it off. It has got me interested in a soft/canvas cap setup. I've never had experience with these so I'm hoping maybe a few guys around here can...

    I don't want to stink

    what do you guys do on back country hunts to keep fresh. I sweat like a whore in church, so I'm figuring out what to pack. I'd like to find an unscented body powder to keep dry and prevent uncomfortable chafing.

    colorado flat tops bear

    I drew a cow tag for unit 25 and was wondering if it would be worthwhile to get a bear tag. We had a nice one wonder through camp two years ago in unit 43 so maybe we'll get lucky with another close encounter.

    pack set up and use

    I'm pretty inexperienced at back packing and I don't know anything about setting up a pack. I'll be using either an alice pack or an old no name external frame pack. The alice seems pretty uncomfortable but might feel better if I knew how to set it up. Thanks for any help.

    Applied for Colorado elk

    My dad and I just applied this week for Unit 25 muzzle loader bull tags. Really excited to see what this area is like. It's our second time heading out, but the last time we were in unit 43. Had a blast the first time just learning about elk hunting. Hopefully what we learned the first time...

    Deciding on a backpacking tent

    I'm considering the GoLite Imogene UL3 or the Big Agnes Fly Creek UL3. The price difference is considerable. I was hoping I could get some feedback from you guys who might have some experience with these two products. Also any other UL 3 man tents you may have used. I appreciate the help and...
