    Further restrictions proposed for NR caribou hunting in Alaska

    I’m not sure if this has been posted already, but there are proposals to further restrict NR caribou hunting in NW Alaska. https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/proposals-to-close-non-resident-caribou-hunting-in-northwest-alaska/ It’s sadly another example of total ignorance of the science...

    Afreeeca!!

    Here are some of the animals I hunted during my trip to South Africa in June. It was my first time hunting outside of the United States and it’s much different than hunting here, both in terms of methods and opportunities. We hunted exclusively on private land, which is the majority of hunting...

    New camera recommendations?

    I’m headed to Africa in June for a 2-week trip, and I expect to take a lot of pictures. It got me thinking that I might want to invest in a camera. I have an iPhone 14, and they definitely take amazing pictures for a phone camera. I’m wondering if I might get better picture quality from a...

    Fresh Tracks+ on LG tv

    I recently bought a new LG tv. I’m trying to add the Fresh Tracks+ app. On the TV’s list of “All Apps,” there is no Fresh Tracks listed. When I search for it I only find the TV show and YouTube videos. Has anyone else had success in adding the app to an LG tv?

    2024 Arizona elk application deadline?

    Does anyone know when the AZ elk application deadline will be next year (2024)? I’m trying to figure out when to apply this year to maximize the mileage on my base hunting license, but I also don’t want to cut it too close if it’s not necessary. Thank you.

    Maui things to do…

    A similar thread on another Hawaiian island inspired me to ask about Maui. My wife and I are headed there in 3 weeks. It is a 10th wedding anniversary trip of sorts, and our first trip without kids along in 8 years. What are some of your must sees? We have plans to do the Hana highway and...

    Lund boat build

    I’m about to pull the trigger and put down a deposit on a Lund Tyee 1975 for next season. This will be a step up from my previous boat which was a 16 foot Tracker. I’ve gone over the details multiple times, but I’m curious what everyone’s must haves are? Anything you wish you had done...

    “Travel” spinning rod for salmon

    My Dad and I are headed to Alaska this summer to fish for silvers. I’ve been looking for a 8-9 foot spinning rod rated for about 12 lb line that breaks down into 3 pieces. I have plenty of 2 piece rods, but they would be a little cumbersome on the plane. I haven’t had any luck thus far...

    Why did this euro turn yellow?

    I had this euro done by a “professional” who uses a beetle cleaning method. When I got it back in spring 2019, the skull was very white, albeit stinky. Fast forward to now and it no longer smells, but it has yellowed significantly. It is still white under the areas that he glued (no clue why he...

    Accessing National forest beyond private

    I am trying to figure out how to legally access a section of National Forest in Beaverhead County, MT that lies beyond private land. The private is actually enrolled as type 1 Block Management, but I’m not interested in hunting that property, but rather traveling through it on the road that is...

    First shed

    My 6 year old found his first shed today, a pretty nice 4-point whitetail antler. I think he’s hooked.

    Recommendations for Cody, WY area outfitter?

    I’m looking for recommendations for outfitters for a backcountry elk hunt near Cody. I’m a nonresident, hence the need for a guide to hunt the wilderness. I currently have 9 points and will probably cash them out in the next 2 or 3 years. I know good outfitters can book a year or two out, so...

    Rifle prep for monolithic bullets?

    I would like to try a Barnes bullet this upcoming elk season. It will be my first time shooting them. I read that you should do a thorough cleaning of all the copper in your barrel before switching from a jacketed bullet to a monolithic bullet, or else the fouling will be worse due to the...

    Wyoming Region G hunt

    I’m a little delayed in posting this report, but I got to spend some time hunting the Wyoming Range during the first week of the rifle season. As a nonresident, this was my first time hunting there. To make a long story short, I ended up tagging out on a 5x4 at the end of the 3rd day. It...

    Stinky Euro mount

    I recently picked up my elk euro from last season. It was professionally beetle cleaned and whitened. When I got it home, I realized it absolutely stinks. The euro looks great and it is completely clean, but it stinks the same way the guy’s beetle colony smelled (if you’ve ever smelled one...

    Cabelas Double Rifle Case

    Cabelas “Bulletproof” aluminum double rifle case. A few minor dents and scratches. I flew with it 4 times, but I haven’t used it since I got my Pelican case. Asking $50 or best offer (I think it was $200 new). Prefer local pickup in Missoula or close by.

    Wyoming Region G

    I am planning on hunting Region G next year. I'm headed down there in 2 weeks to do a scouting trip to get a lay of the land and see where the access points are, as well as try to find a few spots to start out next season. I have OnX maps, the DIY Hunting Maps paper maps, and have spent hours...

    taxidermist recommendations in Missoula

    I am looking for taxidermist recommendations in/near Missoula. Basically for general big game work, but if you think anyone excels in certain animals I would love to hear that too. I don't have anything in particular I am planning to mount right now, but just planning ahead. Thanks!

    OnX Maps coupon codes?

    Does anyone know of any active coupon codes for an OnX maps purchase? I tried “Randy” but it didn’t work. Thanks very much.
