    Special reqs for elk bow?

    Last year, I dug out my dad's old Browning Mag Reflex bow (30+ years old, I'm guessing) and started hunting with it locally for whitetail. I'm thinking that I would like to upgrade to something newer next year and would like to make sure I'm covered for my end-goal -- hunting elk and muleys...

    Lessons learned by a first time newbie...

    Got back a few days ago from 8 days in MT looking for muley and/or elk with nothing but 'experience' to show for it... We were originally going to try to slide into some of the areas south of Bozeman, but due to lack of heavy snow and me basically chickening out due to bears while we do our...

    What is considered 'cold' for elk?

    We're heading to MT in a couple of weeks for what we thought would be a late season transition zone hunt. Now it's looking like those things are going to still be lounging by the pool when we get there due to it staying so warm. How cold does it need to get to start pushing Elk downhill at all...

    What to do with a wolf?

    What do you do with a wolf if/when you kill one? (Assume it is while elk/deer hunting - not while it is harassing your cattle and you're just going to drag it off into a ditch somewhere).

    First western hunt suggestion for a 10 y/o

    This year will be the third year we (my dad and I) have made the trek out west for hunting. First year was WY Antelope last year was WY Muley. We were able to fill at least one tag each year. This year, we're going full-bore and going after elk in MT while doing our own DIY base camp. Hearing...

    Off the shelf or DIY first aid kit?

    I know when buying tool sets, "the way they get ya'" is by including 30 ridiculously small sized Allen wrenches in the number of tools included to pad the total number of tools included in the set. Does that same thing happen with first aid kits? Are they loaded with stuff that is effectively...

    Softopper lessons learned/tips?

    Recently got a Softopper soft top bed cover for '14 Silverado. Any tips on usage or suggested upgrades/mods before we head out on a long (GA to MT) cross country trek with it in November? We won't be camping in it this time, but I will likely use it in the GA mountains in the future.

    Online WFA course?

    I saw the post on here from last year asking about an online course, but I think it was pre or early-covid days when it was posted, so I thought I would start a new thread seeing if any of the big providers had come around with a purely online course since then. I know in-person is best, but...

    Clothing brands for tall/slim(ish) frame

    Anybody have suggestions for hunting/outdoor clothing brands that offer tall sizes. I'm 6'7" / 200lbs, so fairly long and slim. I can't order XXL stuff to get legs or sleeves long enough without it turning into a parachute in a gust of wind. I usually end up getting XL and then dealing with...

    Bear safe food prep and storage in camp

    I've been reading up on being "bear aware" across multiple websites. One of the key ideas I keep seeing is to keep your food away from where you sleep. However, when I watch @Big Fin videos, I see Beau and others cooking and eating while sitting on or near their cots. Are they taking other...
