ALERT toall SD guys!!!
I guess I don't see the problem. There is already those out there that sell access to land to use a county tag. So many people don't have access to land in a huge portion of the state because of the limited amount of public land. And those counties with a bunch of public land get pounded by... -
Looking into 2017
Thanks for the insight guys. @Old man, the area was all timber. There was one small steep open area where the elk were crossing in the mornings, but it was closer to the road and some other guys were hunting it. They bumped the elk a few too many times and the elk changed their pattern. -

Thanks for the insight and congrats on the Bull! I got a shot at a 5x and had a few other oportunites, but archery hunting is archery hunting. I guess I'm more looking for some info on hunting more open areas or higher elevations than less crowds with the OTC. I hiked back in a mile and a half... -
Looking into 2017
This fall was my first time elk hunting. I had some help from a friend of a friend on an area to go in Colorado and was on or saw elk every day of the 7 days I was out there. This was a backpack, solo, archery hunt and I loved every minute of it and learned a lot. I did learn a few things that I... -

It kind of depends on the species a little bit, but you can never go wrong with late February early March. -

Hello everyone - I joined the forum a few weeks ago. I grew up in MW Minnesota learning to hunt mostly by myself as my dad isn't much of a hunter. My grandpa would take me up to our family cabin and I would walk the woods by myself chasing ruffed grouse. My uncle helped me get set up with a... -
Weigh the scale Merino wool or Quality Binos?
You have decent bino's and to step up to start making a difference that will be worth the money, you'll need to go into the higher price point for quality glass. What you said you have extra in your budget, get the base layers and be warm and comfortable so you can hunt longer and more... -
Meat Field Care
Thanks guys! In the area I'm hunting making a little bench over a creek should not be a problem. That is some great advice! Now the trick is to get some meat to try it on;)- SDLorax

Sweating in the sleeping bag
I like the idea of the woobie or something similar like a liner. I'll look into doing that rather than my base layers. Makes more sense to me than having the tight fabric against the skin. Bambi - It doesn't seem to matter for me. My lightweight bag (40) has some down in the upper and the rest...- SDLorax

Sweating in the sleeping bag
I was just out scouting with a 40 degree bag and the night temps got down into high 40's and I was still a pile of sweat. I like the liner idea. I thought I would use an extra pair of base layers as the liner that I would just sleep in. But maybe the liner would be lighter and not be as warm...- SDLorax

Sweating in the sleeping bag
I have been poking around on other internet and hiking/backpacking/camping forums and have not really gained any light into the issue. Here is my issue. I sweat when I sleep. I know everyone does to some extent, but my wife always says I'm the furnace in the bed and I heat it up too much (not...- SDLorax

Meat Field Care
I did not read it here (could have missed it), but I have heard a few others say that if they can (and its really warm) they will take the synthetic game bags full of deboned meat and submerge it in a flowing creek. It draws out the blood and keeps the meat cool for days. On the other hand, I...- SDLorax
