    US Made Sleeping Bags

    I'm looking to pick up a new bag for a September Elk in Wyoming and would like to find on that is made in the USA. I have always been an advocate for buying homegrown, but even more so after the last year. With that being said, I would like something that is rated down to 0-10 degrees and...

    Wyoming deadline question

    Simple question that borders on stupid question. Deadline for WY non resident elk tag is 2/1 at midnight. Does that mean Sunday night or Monday night this year? To me midnight is the next day, therefore tomorrow (Sunday) night. I only ask because I left some files at work that would mike life...

    Drop Camp/ Semi-guided Advice

    Looking to find a good outfitter to do a drop camp or semi-guided hunt, hopefully for next season. Some of my buddies are intimidated to do a complete DIY hunt, I also am trying to get my Dad (70 years old) his first elk so any help I can get is a plus. I have done a good number of research...

    Information overload on my research and struggling to make a decision. Looking to buy a new muzzleloader, will mostly be used for eastern whitetails but would like it to double out west as well.

    OTC Ideas

    My father and I usually take one hunting trip West each year, sometimes North to Canada. We were going to skip this season due to some fall commitments we had, but with the Covid-19 lifestyle change our calendar has opened back up with the exception of the first 3 weeks of October. I was...

    Single Shot for Kids

    I have been looking for a single shot rifle for my kids in .243. I've been scouring the gun racks and have yet to find a used one, I may end up pulling the trigger on something new. Any recommendations? The reason for the singles shot comes from the need of an ambidextrous and safety. 3...

    Solo watercraft

    I am working on accessing a new part of the property where I hunt (NJ whitetails). I’ll need to carry a canoe for about 100 yards then paddle about 1 mile down a small stream to my new spot. Probably another 1/2 mile to the take out point after that. This stream is tiny in spots, can wade most...

    Savage 111 Build?

    I have a Savage 111 in 300WM, I’ve upgraded to a nice Vortez Viper 4x16 and a quality set of rings as well. Gun shoots good, but I’m anal and want better. I’ve been kicking around the idea of getting another rifle to use for deer/antelope in a smaller caliber. Maybe a Tikka T3 or some other...

    Family Antelope Trip

    I am planning on taking my son and father to WY for an antelope hunt in 2020, they will be 13 and 70 respectively. I have done a little research so far, but nothing ground breaking. I was thinking we would truck camp and avoid opening week to limit the crowds. I would like to get some doe...

    Arizona Late Season Rifle

    I was looking to get in to the points game for a late season AZ elk hunt, everything sounds great, but one hang up is the amount of tags issued. I understand this is what makes it feasible to get a tag in 5-7 years, but what are realistic expectations on seeing other hunters? I don’t mind...

    Rain Gear - Kuiu Outlet

    I have been eyeing Kuiu NX Rain pant and Jacket for months, I have been hesitant to buy that or the Teton set from the outlet because there are no returns. I generally run a 2XL in most clothes, but a lot of these hunting brands seem to run small on me. (6'3" 260#). Any thoughts? I almost...

    The points game

    I know this question has been asked many times many different ways. I have done a ton of research on this forum and all over the web, but just need some guidance.
