    WTB Backpacking Quilt

    I recently upgraded my quilt to a Western Mountaineering.. Have a Sierra Designs Nitro 20 degree I'd be willing to part with. The stuff sack has a semi-popped seam so I've been using an older staff sack. Super thin material but if you (or someone you know) is good with delicate needlework I'm...

    Schnee's Kestrel or Crispi Summit?

    Figured I'd give my (early) thoughts for any prospective buyers. I'm fortunate that my 16 y/o son is now the same size in boots as me (and will likely be bigger by next year) so took the opportunity to throw a 2 for 1 past my wife :-) I'm always either 10.5 or 11 depending on brand and ordered...

    Any thoughts on these a year later? Considering getting a pair for November to December hunting in Northern Idaho.

    Wyoming Archery Advice

    I hunt around G&H. Rifle deer opens up in mid-September but the number of hunters for rifle deer isn't nearly as much as rifle elk in October. Last year I only saw a handful of rifle hunters outside of the weekends. If you are hiking in a spike camp for 5-7 days you'll probably be in an area...

    7 points in wy?

    Your friends are putting down 340+ bulls EVERY YEAR in a general unit? They must be doing something amazingly right, especially if they can afford to invite extra guys along!

    Idaho Archery Elk Unit 61 and 62A

    From your story: "Losinski said he doesn't anticipate the hunter will face any charges as he did nothing wrong." Jeez ya think? Hope your recovery has gone well brother - had to be one hell of an experience.

    How realistic is weekend-only elk hunting?

    LOL - yes...if you find a spot like that do not ignore it!!! I've hunted elk for several years using 7-10 days of vacation but am also moving to elk country this summer (Idaho). New job where I'm not sure yet what my opportunities will be to take a full week during the Fall. My guess is I'll...

    7 points in wy?

    This. If I had 7 points I'd be cautious about putting general tag as second choice - there is a significant difference in quality of bulls between general areas and special draw areas. Lots of general areas where you can give yourself a good chance at a 250-290 bull, maybe get very fortunate...

    Percent of Elk Killed - mornings or afternoon?

    Same experience for me in Wyoming over 6 seasons. My father in law and the other old timers I hunt with only rifle hunt and are usually heading back in to camp about an hour before last shooting light...it frustrates me as that's when I've had the best results in my far smaller sample size. I...

    Idaho Elk 2017

    I'm moving to the Moscow area this Summer and will be starting from scratch learning a new area. I'm archery only for elk nowadays but if you end up heading towards the panhandle let me know. Elk hunting solo is no small task and I think having a partner or two makes it a heck of a lot more...
