    Another Social Media "Star" Caught

    Ive thought the same thing since the fad started, yet for some reason, there's people who want to watch self-obsessed grown adults walk around and pick up glorified calcium off the ground on a video. Makes no sense to me, never watched one.

    Beginner fly rod

    Redington makes good entry level rods in a kit that you can buy fully set up. . but a lot depends on what and where you are fishing. High alpine trout is much different than large river steelhead in terms of the size and weight of rod you should be looking for

    Crazy right. And yet companies will still support them just like they did the Muley Freak toolbag who claimed innocent all over social for trespassing, but behind closed doors, pleads guilty 3 different times to trespassing

    Another Social Media "Star" Caught

    Him and his little buddy Chag, spend more time putting on each others makeup for staged photos than they do hunting. They are exactly whats wrong with this industry. Also, not sure the relation, but they have the same last name, the owner of TinesUp Tad Rollins, was just busted illegally picking...

    Current Diesels in SRW 1 tons, is one better than the other?

    The 10 speed in the new Fords are pretty impressive if you are towing a lot. Have had multiple die-hard other brand fans who tow heavy equipment for a living switch to the Fords around here. From what I have seen, multiple friends with newer gmc/chevy with their trucks in the shop for Def...

    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    multiple people in the discord I listen to everyday made upwards of 6 figures off of a few grand in less than 30 minutes thanks to 0 day spx and spy. I missed the initial move but caught some nvda calls for 150%. This market has been a day traders dream. I was thinking a downside move after the...

    Bipod for Horseback elk hunt?

    I put my Spartan in my saddle bag, i can grab it just as quick as my rifle. . . that being said, I would highly suggest you try not to use a daypack. It will make you personally way more uncomfortable on the horse. Any good outfitter should have large saddle bags on your saddle, and if you cant...

    Tipping

    Im sure wages have changed a bit since I was full time doing it, but yes, guides usually make either a flat monthly wage, or a daily wage. With backcountry type hunts and outfits, usually its a lower wage because your food and living is being provided by the outfitter during the entire season. ...

    Tipping

    you are confusing the guide and outfitter. The outfitter is being paid the price for the hunt, the guide is not. Guides do not choose their wage, not sure how out of touch with it you are, dont really see the point in your commentary on this thread if it doesnt involve you at all

    Tipping

    In my 10 years as a guide in the Frank church and Teton wilderness, I experienced all the above. From great tips to not so great. I can assure you the ones who left not so great, were well remembered and not allowed back. . My normal day during season would be getting up a 3am, saddle horses...

    Breaking Rules, Tack, and Everything Else: My DIY Horseback Hunting Chronicle

    With your setup, I would highly suggest going away from Canvas and Heavy stoves. You just dont have the pack animal capability to make it work well. Get a lightweight style floorless tent and one of the many collapsible titanium type stoves and you can have a great setup for well under 15lbs. I...

    Is backcountry fuel box still a thing?

    It was sold...ran again under a different name..and now they have stopped as well. Guessing the financial side was not worth it with the overhead etc.

    Packing and hunting with horses

    Books and teaching packing are tough. Pretty hard to understand rope knots in words on hitches unless you are already pretty experienced with the basic packing knowledge. I taught packing for 5 years along with Cody and LeRee of Royal Tine guide school. They have been teaching it for over 30...
