    Do I Need 10-Ply Tires?

    2013 F-150 - I run the 10 ply Toyo Open Country AT's on 18 in wheels. They are harsher, but when I'm 45 miles away from a paved road, I don't mind. I get almost 60k miles out of a set.

    Guide to First Elk Hunt

    I have no interest here, and assuming archery, but IMO https://www.elk101.com/ would be good money spent for the whole class. You'll waste more money than that on gear you won't ever use. Corey kills a LOT of elk. Getting in shape cannot be understated. You can't hunt with your head down...

    3 tips for solo elk hunter

    IMO, the setup after locating animals is the hardest part being solo. There is no caller to get a bull to walk past you to them. What helped me close the deal archery solo was moving after calling. An elk will be able to pinpoint your position after you call. Call and depending on where the...

    Advice for hunting bedding areas?

    I agree with Elknut and have similar experiences. When I was first getting serious about archery elk, I got busted trying to sneak into bedding areas more times than I care to think about. Even if you have the wind, too many eyeballs to be effective. What has worked is setting up an ambush on...

    Recommendations Idaho Mid Oct

    For freezing conditions, if you have a bladder with lines, or filter, make sure they are empty of water. Have seen water left in a filter crack it when it froze. I blow out my lines and bring my water in the tent with me at night. I wrap it in spare clothes to insulate. Have still had it freeze...

    Chinese Tarrifs

    I find it interesting that those arguing hardest against a trade war, conveniently forget about the impact of foreign production on the environment. I am not a global warming disaster believer. But I do care about our water, the ocean and air we breath. We sent US manufacturing to countries...

    Solo Elk Tips

    For a solo hunter, moving after calling can be deadly, if you can get a response early season. When you bugle, elk will know "exactly" where you are. Moving places you away from where they think you are, giving you an advantage. If I get a response, and the setup allows, I quickly close the...
