    Western hunting rifle: Seekins Element?

    I couldn't agree more with the suppressing and a high quality recoil pad. I have a light weight 416 remington suppressed with recoil pad and it is tolerable at under 7 pounds (grizzly mountain hunt).

    Ideal Bear Defense Long Gun?

    Lots of firearms to choose from, I would be picking compact with power and hope to be doing a comparable trip in Alaska in retirement.

    Wyoming GMU 10/110

    I've hunted some burn areas a few years after burns in Idaho and had good luck Bear hunting (and mushrooms). It actually made it a little easier from the aspect that it was easier to see more than fifty feet.

    New Stone Glacier packs added

    Looks like a great option - amazing the quality and variety of gear being produced. Very happy with my frontier pack (barney pack - 7800), but I too have started the search for a smaller pack in that 4000 range.

    What waders are you guys running?

    I've been using the Simms Freestone (not nearly as expensive as the guide waders) and I've got 3 years on them.

    Wyoming Unit 51 - who not to hunt with

    10000 is well worth it for a good experience. I've been on several guided hunts and only once did I have an outfitter and guide that didn't do an exceptional job - but that one hunt was very expensive and was a terrible experience.

    I need to talk trucks boys

    I have a 2014 Dodge Ram 2500 with cummings and it was leaking antifreeze last year. It was a small crack on a hose that was only detected after they hooked something up that blew air into the lines so they could spot the leak. It was a small leak, but freeked me out when I was 6 hours from...

    Towing mpg?

    I have a 2014 2500 Dodge BigHorn with a diesel engine and it doesn't matter what trailer I'm towing (camper, cargo trailer or 18 car trailer with my tractor on it) I average 14-16 mpg on the highway (not all that different than driving around town). On the highway with no trailer 20-22 mpg.

    First antelope and it has small third horn

    That is crazy, I've seen a lot of antelope - but never something that looked like that.

    Do you carry a seat/stool when you hunt?

    I have a CLIQ chair (light and compact) that I pack in with me nearly all the time. I really like to have the back support.
