    I don't recall seeing them around the lake. But they had been about 5 miles back in the wilderness. They had grazed some areas down to the dirt and left fields of poop there. Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

    Forget your rangefinder?

    I'll just carry extra ammo and keep shooting until I hit something. Works 60% of the time, all the time. Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

    I've called in 4 here in Cali. All but one bugled. I've killed dozens of bulls in Co, eastern OR, and Idaho. The Rosie's are just monsters. Huge. We get to hunt them here with a rifle in Sept. So shot distances can vary. All have been around 75 yards or less. Sent from my SM-S918U using...

    That's actually a great idea. I typically just scrub mine thoroughly with a brush and soap. I get the big stuff but then just put it back into the sheath and wait for the next kill.

    I am the same way. I do not want to have to carry my stove with me during the day. So my day food is a big variety of ready to eat stuff. I'll put stuff in individual gallons sacks and then grab as many sacks as I need when I leave my truck. If I have food left over, I'll either gorge myself at...

    This has been my standard advice for many guys who are unsure of their gear. What they need, what they don't. You don't necessarily need to go where you are hunting. But getting it as real as it can be with 2 overnights will give you a good idea of what worked and what didn't. Sent from my...

    My dad likes unique types of knives and other gadgets and enjoys the random gift. At 74, he would enjoy getting something we can use to clean and quarter one of our animals this next fall. Additionally, being that it comes from a small business, he (we) would be more inclined to support this...

    Feedback on backcountry elk loadout

    For archery in warm weather I try to get close to 40 lbs of total pack weight, not including my weapon. For cold weather, I want to be around 45 lbs, maybe a few more depending on how long I'll be gone and the weather I expect. I can carry quite a bit more and doing so all day isn't an issue...

    Under the topic of preparation for an upcoming hunt for a new hunter. Discuss necessities and then drill in the importance of trying these things out prior to season. Maybe a brief hike, or not, and an overnight in the tent, bag, pad etc that they will be using. Gets them to try their gear...
