    Whitetail Hunt Help

    Blue tongue wiped out the North Eastern Wa whitetail population 2 yrs ago, just now starting to recover. North Idaho is decent if you can scout and get away from other hunters (alot of hunting pressure from WA residents). Montana is always a solid bet. Wyoming can be great too. That being said...

    Truck / SUV suited for Snowy Icy Roads

    It really depends on how Western you wanna get with it. I run an Excursion on 40" mud terrains with air lockers front and rear. I can probably go alot of places that a Subaru or low clearance rig won't go. That same Subaru will out perfom my Excursion on Icy roads any day of the week. Your best...

    Anyone here hunt out West with a 30-30?

    Yeah, we do a late season (early Nov) whitetail hunt camp. Wall tents, red flannel, and everybody has to use open sight 30-30's. That's usually in heavy timber in WA state, so the open sight, lever gun is perfect. Last 5 Whitetails I've shot in that unit/area have all been 100 yds or less...

    "Practice" Backcountry Hunt for Grouse in CO or NM - Any recommendations?

    Hunting ruffed grouse in WA state, (which might be a totally different bird to hunt) we typically find them on old logging roads, at times you can find their dirt baths and I also believe they go to the old roads to eat smaller gravel for their gizzards. Elk hunted two weeks in...

    I cut up a brand new Stryker!

    Love to see the final setup, packed for the 10 day excursion. I'm in a similar boat with a Stryker XL, love the pack but can't quite get the load shelf where I want it yet, still working on all the adjustments. Glad to see someone making improvements!

    My 16 yr old son drew Idaho Bull Moose 1-2

    I have a small ranch in Naples, grew up there. Alot of the logging roads are gated within a quarter mile of paved roads. That being said, alot of people ride atv around gates. Alot. The gates are to keep firewood and commercial use out of the private timber checkerboard. They typically don't...

    ISO input on Trek Marlin

    Marlin hardtails are excellent bikes for what you want to do. As mentioned the 1x gears are great and simple, hydraulic disks are one finger operation, and a dropper seatpost is nice feature as well. You can adj seat height on the move with a cable lever on handle bars (not sure if they have it...

    WY 41-7

    I've hunted unit 40 with a type 9. Same situation, majority of elk are weather dependent, but there are residual elk that never leave the units. Esp cows. Winch and land anchor recommended, maybe chains. Those dirt roads get deeeep when they have constant rainfall. Good luck!!

    Eastern Washington Cows?

    Silver dollar ranch near tri-cities does landowner tags but I believe they usually only do friends/hunters with youth hunters. Might be worth a try? Good luck.
