    Question for those that have taken shots on Dall’s

    Same boat here with my first Dall hunt coming up in August in AK... Since there appears to be a lot of prone shooting, would you bring a bipod? I've been debating bringing mine and adding extra weight or leaving at home and just shooting off the pack. I see a mix of pictures posted here with...

    Even The Wall Street Journal is Covering Elk Shed Hunting!

    I kind of had the same reaction reading this article. I knew a lot of people went out but I had no idea on the extent and popularity. For me as kid, shed hunting was like a really fun Easter Egg hunt around the ranch or up in the mountains. The only "professional" shed hunter I knew was a...

    Favorite National Park

    Not to side track the thread too much but @Mighty Mouse and @Luke S do you have any experience/feedback on the wilderness camps sites at Guadalupe Mountains NP? I'm heading out there this weekend before a work trip to Midland/Odessa. I want to do some hiking and training for my upcoming Alaska...

    Favorite National Park

    For me, my favorites are some already mentioned such as Teton, Bryce Canyon, Acadia and Zion. Yellowstone is pretty cool but the crowds and shear number of tourists who have never spent much time outdoors or know how to act around wildlife is painful. Also have to mention Capital Reef. The...

    Even The Wall Street Journal is Covering Elk Shed Hunting!

    This is either really cool, kind of crazy or both. Shed hunting must be at peak level of craziness/popularity now that even a financial newspaper, The Wall Street Journal, is publishing an article in today's paper. Also kudos to those featured in the article. It's a fun read and my guess is...

    MKC Alternative

    I’m really liking my Argali Serac for the blade shape and handle feel. Also like that it’s a real handle instead of paracord.

    Mongolia - flight routes, airlines, firearm considerations

    +1 for Turkish if going out of DFW. Look at the flight schedule though and make sure they are operating a 787 instead of the 777s that have older cabins. I also had fellow passengers who were hunters on my last flight from DFW who were carrying rifles. The best part of flying Turkish is...

    ...on the mountain!

    Excellent write up and great inspiration to stay in shape while I’m young-ish so I can still tackle mountains in my 60s. Congrats on a great hunt and adventure!

    SG Avail with SG Nalgene holster? And other questions

    Used this exact set up for five day hike last fall with my wife across the Slovenian Alps. We were hiking hut-to-hut so we didn't have to carry shelter or food (beyond snacks and daily water). Before filling up the Nalgene and spare blatter with water my pack was around 20 pounds. The SG...

    Also if you are coming to visit, you need to go to Gordy and Sons (between Heights and River Oaks). Gordy and Sons is the absolute nicest gun, hunting and fly fishing store you will ever visit. It’s a hunting store/ museum. They even have their own fly casting pond as well as an old bank...

    One of my company offices is very close to your daughter’s new office area. If she is making decent money I would strongly suggest moving to the Heights (it can be pricey). This is a great area for young people with restaurants, bars, gyms, young person oriented churches , things to do, etc...
