    Chicago Basin Colorado fishing help

    I have never done much hiking in Colorado but I’m headed out there late July. There’s several 14ers there just north of Durango and we are going to spend a few nights there around needle creek. I took a look at the Colorado fish atlas and it doesn’t show anything in the area. I’m curious if...

    Ethics of removing tree stands from public land

    I’m interested to hear others opinions on this. Here in Michigan, after a certain date, they are considered litter. I just took a walk and found 3 ladder stands and 2 climbing sticks. No names on any of them which is also illegal. A couple have been there a while but most are from this past...

    Bucket list fishing trip

    My wife wanted to do a trip for our 15 year wedding anniversary. We don’t really vacation together because our interests are very different. When she threw out Costa Rica as a suggestion, I said sure why not. Knowing that there would be a chance we could get out and do some fishing. As it...

    Michigan Elk Hunt

    I just finished one of the best elk hunts I’ll probably ever have. Being able to hunt with my 9 year old son was so much fun. Michigan allows youth to apply for for elk and bear as part of the mentored youth hunting program. One day this summer, my wife came running into the house and told...

    Need tripod to hold rifle for my son

    Anyone have any favorite tripods with a clamp type mount for a rifle? My son has an elk tag for Michigan here in December and a few weeks ago he broke his arm. He can usually use a simple rest but now I think he needs some extra help. His healing isn’t going as fast as I hoped. I was looking...

    Backpack trip to washington

    Just got back from a great trip to Luna Peak in Washington. Most of the trip is fairly flat and all of the elevation is in the last 3 miles or so. It was so steep in the one chute that it took everything I had with two trekking poles to climb up there. Lots of loose rock avalanching down...

    Survival blankets

    Does anyone have any particular favorites for a packable space/survival blanket of some sort? I cut up my last one to help keep meat out of the dirt and need to replace it. Having never used it to stay warm I have no idea how well it would have even worked. Any recommendations?

    Michigan elk draw success

    No success for me, but success for my son. I couldn’t be more excited to take my son out for his first elk hunt. He’s pretty small so his ability to walk through snow and carry a rifle is limited. So finding some private may be a good option so I can throw up a ground blind. If there’s any...

    My elk euro tree idea

    I got bored and decided to repurpose a patio umbrella base. I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with my elk euros and this is what I came up with. $5 piece of handrail and some lag bolts. I can just move it around the house as needed. I might try another with my deer skulls. Figured...

    Lake Michigan decree and additional gill netting

    Anyone hear about the new decree? I’m pretty disappointed that the tribe would pursue additional gill netting in an already fragile fishery. I’m even more disappointed that Michigan DNR signed it without any negotiations. I’m pretty confident the additional gill netting is going to destroy...

    Looking up transporters and guides

    I was looking up a couple outfits I was interested in for a moose hunt transport and noticed some guides are listed as a license status of probation. Does anyone know if that something to be concerned about? I see two outfitters that I know have a great reputation as on probation.

    Just had a great backpacking trip!

    I’m headed home from a great backpacking trip. Saw lots of deer and one herd of elk. I was the only one on the mountain with any camo on 😁. Gear that performed well was my new Salewa shoes. Great for narrow feet. I had a pair for the approach and a stiffer pair for the rock and snow...

    I’m looking to see what everyone has to say about their favorite hard shell pants. I’ve got the rest of my kuiu and first lite gear about where I want it but I can’t figure out what to do about hard shell pants. I don’t need a pure rain pant but something that will handle intermittent rain and...

    Boiling skulls - new idea

    Hi everybody, I wanted to present an idea for a little feedback. I started making some custom pots for boiling deer skulls because I was frustrated with my options while traveling on out of state hunts. Obviously there are some laws regarding transportation of deer skulls that aren’t “cleaned”...
