    Lightweight tent that doesn't use trekking poles

    I have the Tiger Wall 2 Platinum. I mostly use it for hiking/camping on long trails. Excellent tent - very light and easy to set up alone. Im 6'1 and 190 or so and there is LOTS of room for me plus gear inside - plus you have two vestibules to store your dirty gear out of the main tent. My...

    Wyoming unit 48

    WY Antelope For a Newbie?

He reported that land had been leased up by people offering guided...

    What I learned my first caribou hunt

    I am booked to fly up with Arrowhead August of 2024 - Thanks so much for this information! Answered a bunch of questions. Are bear problems generally an issue between harvest and pick up? Do the operators offer a meat pick up if you would want to stay and fish and enjoy Alaska for a few days...

    Struggling to find western hunting partners

    Coastal NC here. I plan on getting out west for a back country hunt in the next few years SOLO. I have been a few times with people and its VERY hard to find the right fit for a hunting partner - especially unguided western hunts. I have about 6 points in WY for Elk/Mule Deer/Antelope - I...
