    Looking ahead to Summer/Fall 2017 season

    Although it's a long way off I'm planning on blocking out 2 weeks for black bear hunting in August/September in Wa state. I'm a little undecided about getting further back or doing "day hunts" with a more comfortable camp. Has anyone ever used pack goats for a bear hunt? One of my concerns was...

    FWP officer detained by tribal members

    I think the tribes had agreed to doing this. Metlakatla is still a reservation in Alaska, not becoming a native corporation. The reason many of those tribes could even do that is they had some resources that were worth something. I don't see that ever happening in the lower 48, especially over a...

    Am I being a little over ambitious? (solo elk hunt)

    You only live once. If you have the means and opportunity you might kick yourself for not doing it. Just do the research. Randy Newberg has some youtube videos that kind of explain the Montana non resident thing. Have the right gear and just go. Before you know it your 50 and wish you had time...

    Can anyone recommend a good hunting book?

    Boyd Iverson's book is good and so is Scott Haugen's. If you ever get a chance to see Scott do a seminar at a sportsmans show, it's worth the time. He is a really good guy.

    Split my first arrow

    The first time it happened to me, it destroyed both arrows. As nice as it is to shoot that consistently, I'm paying $50 for a half dozen so I don't shoot groups anymore.

    buying new binos whats your opinion?

    I started using 10X42's 4 years ago on an open country hunt and never looked back. Things get a little shaky if I drink too much coffee but you mentioned using a tripod.

No hunting because of work and military commitments. I'm also in the early stages of planning a hunt in Idaho and Wyoming...
