5 points to burn CO rifle muley?
Looks like my 4th season options are limited to units where they say on Gohunt bucks may migrate off the unit of to private. Success rates look good on several, but with limited tag numbers a lot of that success may come off private. One that looks promising is the 80/81 hunt? Another option... -

Thanks I will do that. I'm going to go through units on CO's website and Gohunt this afternoon and look at my options. -

5 points to burn CO rifle muley?
I am looking to burn my CO points after not drawing a WY elk tag this year. I've hunted muleys in Wyoming but never hunted them hard in Colorado. I had a deer tag along on an elk hunt a long time ago. Any advice on areas to research or avoid right now? I'm late starting on this, I really... -

WY Unit 82
It gets a lot of pressure, more hunters than I've seen in one place anywhere else. There are a lot of roads which makes it hard to get away from one. The forest is less pressured but there are enough roads around the rims with ATV's running around on them to get most bucks to keep their heads... -

30-06 with 168g E-Tips
I switched to the 180gr E tip in my 300 win mag this year. I found a box of the factory Nosler loads on sale and gave them a shot, I was thinking of going to an even tougher bullet than the Accubond for my moose hunt in AK. From my 300 they averaged 2896fps and shot extremely well. Practicing...- Mcseal2

Anyone have their camp robbed while in the field for the day?
In college a friend got tired of everyone stealing his vodka from the cabinet above the keg fridge when the beer ran out at parties at his place. He began peeing in empty vodka bottles after he had drank enough to make his urine pretty clear and put the re-filled bottles in the cabinet before...- Mcseal2

Moose where to start?
I'm going on a drop camp AK moose hunt this fall. I figured by the time I got enough points built up to go anywhere in the lower 48 I'd be to old to pack a moose so I just saved up for that. I booked it back in 2015. I have been applying in less states all the way around and saving the money...- Mcseal2

Wyoming Medicine Bow Deer hunt
My buddy got a smaller 4x4 and I missed a good buck. It was a longer shot and my buddy grabbed my Leicas and ranged the deer only he ranged the buck above the one I was shooting at 440yds. I held for that and shot over the deer I was on. It was a simple mistake that we learned from. I could... -

Bipod vs trekking poles for seated position??
I love the Rapid Pivot bipods for predator hunting or open country antelope and deer. Anywhere walks are shorter and shots might be longer, and where trekking poles aren't necessary. On the steep country/ long walk hunts I go prone over the pack if possible. If not sitting behind the pack... -

books
Kurt Darner, Robby Denning, Mike Eastman, and David Long have written favorites. Jim Colllyer's "Blood in the Tracks" taught me a good bit too. I read these and then started into the older ones by Shuh, Van Zwoll, Zumbo, O Connor, and others. Much of what the older writers wrote I had already... -

Bino harness for geovids
I have the newer Geovid HD-B 10x42 binos that are pretty bulky. I have a Kuiu harness I like when I won't be using them on a tripod. It's the least bulky option I have found. If I'm going to be using them on a tripod I prefer to carry them in an XL FHF harness so I don't have to unbuckle the... -

Alaska DIY Brown Bear - Papa Bear Adv.
Great info thanks everyone. I'm headed on a moose hunt with Papa Bear in 2018 and already getting my gear list dialed in. I was mistaken it sounds like, I thought the kitchen kit, chairs, cots, and tent were all included in the package and only the motor, fuel, etc that was extra came off the...- Mcseal2

knife sharpening in the backcountry...
I use a mix of old and new thinking I guess. I tried the Havalon and Outdoor Edge replaceable blade knives and they work great on game. I found that I still carried a pocket or belt knife for all the other things I find to do with a knife while out hunting that I want a sturdier blade for...- Mcseal2

binocular rangefinder combo recommendations
I went with the Leica HD-B and have been very impressed with the glass. I had them side to side with Swaro SLC 10x42 and 15x56 binos and felt they were every bit as good even in low light. Everyone has different preferences and their eyes work best with different glass I guess. I had an eye... -

Tripod head
I was unwilling to drop the money on an Outdoorsmans pan head for a while, now I have 2. I run either a Promaster 525 or Outdoorsmans compact medium tripod. I got the one head with the compact medium tripod and ended up with a second a while later. Before I got them I used a Promaster 6160... -

Wts nikon ed 50 plus extras
These are great little scopes and can't be matched for their price. I have a straight one I've used for several years. I always felt it's the perfect spotter for elk hunts where you find the animals with the binos and just need the spotter to size them up. It's also the perfect spotter for...- Mcseal2

What's your favorite bullet
If I had to choose one it would be the Accubond like many people here. I've used them on a lot of game up to elk size and never seen an issue. In my 264 win mag I used Accubonds for several years before I started experimenting with dialing scopes, wind meters, and longer ranges. I tried...- Mcseal2
