    Let's talk base layers: FL merino wool vs Kuiu Pelotons

    Of the big hunting brands, I've only tried FL merino wool & Kuiu Peloton synthetic shirts. I like FL for wearing around the house (I find them a little softer) but when I start sweating, I much prefer the fast drying pelotons. FL merino wool shirts hold onto sweat forever which I hate because my...

In the past, you've stated you prefer the flexibility of base camps but again, llama packing in seems the antithesis of this approach. Llamas are with you on most of your...

    Muzzleloader recommendation for elk under $1500

    I am interested in muzzleloader hunting for elk but don't know which gun to get. Any recommendations under $1500? Additionally it seems like some states like CO outlaw the use of breach action muzzleloaders so preferably not a breach action recommendation

    Anyone try for random draw of WY Limited Entry

    draws? I drew this year in the general draw from the random portion of the tag allocation (drew GEN Elk Type 1 with 1 PP). Has anyone tried for some of the more coveted tags to draw with far less than needed points?

    North or South Facing Openings for Feed?

    Corey Jacobson talks about south facing openings as where he looks for grass growing but Randy Newberg talks more about northly facing hillsides that are protected from the direct rays of the sun as best. Which is the better source for grasses typically in northern rocky states?

    How do you keep your meat out of the reach of grizzlies in the backcountry after you've field dressed the carcass and are making more than 1 trip out? Is this a realistic method?

    Do Game Processors allow you to work on the meat yourself?

    Grizzlies after the kill

    I drew a general WY elk tag and I am strongly considering a unit in the heart of bear range. My wife & I spent a week out there and also a unit with almost no grizz presence hiking around last week. We ended up seeing 5 grizzlies in 2.5 days. We are not so much concerned with bears coming to...

    the age-old dilemma. Synthetic (dries fast) vs. wool (less stink). Has anyone found a good baselayer that finds that happy medium?
