    Newest US Senate Land Sale Amendment

    Trump has said he doesn’t support selling public lands…I feel like if that were true this thing would be squashed in no time. The fact it hasn’t speaks volumes

    Moving to Washington state, hunting and fishing expectations?

    Can’t speak from personal experience but I know of some YouTubers who fish the big ocean in kayaks. I fish the Puget sound in a hobie outback without issue. You have to select your days but in the summer and fall it’s typically not too rough out there, even with the cruise ships and tankers!

    Moving to Washington state, hunting and fishing expectations?

    Welcome. Everyone above has hit the nail on the head. There are many issues with hunting in WA, but opportunity is definitely not one of them. I’ve only been here a year and fished salmon, caught dungies and red rock crab, hunted deer, elk, bear, and turkey (not all successfully lol). There is...

    Fleeced In Seattle

    5 minutes to salmon and Dungeness crab fishing, 1 hour to skiing, 2 hours to Roosevelt elk and black tail in one direction, 2 hours to mule deer and rocky mtn elk in the other direction, just to name a few. Well worth it for a few city warts imo…

    EOY '24 - What Worked, What Didn't

    Worked: -new hunting rig (below). No issues with terrain, range, etc. did not expect to ever use the camp mode but ended up sleeping in it three different nights after getting to the trailhead late. Sure beats one more night in the cold tent plus dint have to unpack and repack all that stuff...

    Has anyone tried a Durston tent?

    This is true, but I don’t typically run a nest so that cuts the weight almost in half. Are the nests removable on the Durstons?

    Has anyone tried a Durston tent?

    Interesting tents, but from a Birds Eye view they don’t seem to offer anything more (and are much heavier) than seek outside trekking pole tents

    RIP Garmin Inreach … iPhones to allow satellite messages in ios18

    Actually, it wasn’t useful in that one instance either come to think of it. Trying to get in touch with hunting partners to help track while I was down in a bowl with bad satellite coverage. Had trouble getting inreach messages out. Was able to get Apple messages out but my buddies never got...

    RIP Garmin Inreach … iPhones to allow satellite messages in ios18

    After my recent backcountry trip, the problem with the new Apple feature is it does not push messages to your phone unless you actively have the feature running and are pointing the phone towards a satellite. This basically limits you to one way communication unless you stand in the same spot...

    RIP Garmin Inreach … iPhones to allow satellite messages in ios18

    Any guesses on how much increase in battery drainage (and need for more charges) using this feature this would cause? Any more/less/equal total power need than having a separate device?

    Worried about trails and roads. What to do (Colorado)

    You really just have to go and find out for yourself. They could be deep, could be right off the trail, or neither. In my experience in CO where I’ve hunted, the majority of elk I found are closer to the trailhead and main trails than they are far in. You’ll have to find the happy medium...

    2021- Who got skunked?

    Skunked again! For the second year in a row, hiked way thr hell back in where only the outfitters are, to see not enough elk to justify the outfitter and drop camp pressure. For the second year in a row, returned to the truck after a few days and hunted from there, saw more hikers but also more...

    Gear list for 1st season backpack elk hunt

    It’s totally up to you, but I doubt you’re going to want to spend the time as well as the resources (fuel, water) to make 3 dehydrated meals a day. Not to mention those peak meals are $$$ I’ve found that most people do one a day, usually at night

    Colorado 2nd Draw?

    Think you're right on the cow tags. My question is, whenever they stop selling tags for a unit (whether that be the day before the season or whenever), how many tags are available still, if any? They don't seem to publish that info as far as I can tell.

    Colorado 2nd Draw?

    Because I'd rather hunt a cow? and subsequently a bull tag as backup is better than no tag/hunt at all

    Colorado 2nd Draw?

    Yeah I saw that but that is the stats after the primary draw. I'm interested in the number of tags sold per hunt code when all is said and done, meaning after the secondary/leftover draws, etc
