Last year my hunting group and I used our points for a general tag in Wyoming. We ended up purchasing an archery tag and hunted mid September with some luck. This year we have some points built up in Colorado but will average out to 2 pts. each. Not wanting to hunt OTC and realizing chances...
Just saw the list of places that are hosting the Train To Hunt events for 2017 and noticed Arkansas wasn't one of them. Has anyone heard if that is definitely out for 2017?
For me it looks like I will be heading to either Roanoke, TX or Somerset, Wisconsin for a qualifier. Either way it's an...
I live in Missouri so I can't really get ready for altitude. My wife and I planned our vacation to go hiking in Colorado. Seems like the more time you can spend at altitude the easier it gets. I take the stuff from Wilderness Athlete for Altitude not really sure of the name. I can't say 100%...
I like the Elk101, Eastman's has a youtube channel and check out Remi Warren's channel. there are others that I like Grittybowmen and Bowhunting.com (more whitetail than western). Also Willy Schmidt (sp?) Pure Hunting has a lot of western themed hunts

I'm sorry I can't speak to the Mtn. Ops stuff, but like you I have altered my diet a lot over the past 5 months. I have figured out that on a weekend when I'm meal prepping (grilling meat for the week) I do like having a beer. I keep it to 1 though. I started playing around with the Eat to...
I spoke with a lady at the event site and it sounds like space is pretty limited since they are having a charity shoot that same weekend. She did mention that there was a Special Use Area called Camp Robinson that is only 4 miles away and they have camping facilities there. So I'm taken care...
