    off road campers

    thanks everybody for the feedback. One difficult thing is trying to find a dealership that actually has some to look at in my area (Sacramento, CA). I'm trying to find out if there are any tradeshows or conventions that specialize in these products.

    off road campers

    I love going in to the backcountry for hunting and backpacking, but my family is growing and I've become interested in purchasing a simple off road camper trailer. It would be used for family trips but also hunting trips in the fall and winter. Does anybody have experience with them and...

    SoCal New Guy-NW Native

    I moved to San Diego 12 years ago from Texas. I was not that impressed with the hunting compared to TX and other western states I've hunted in, but if you enjoy backpacking and hiking there are lots of places in CA to take advantage of it. If you are looking to get away from the crowds visit...

    muzzleoader scope

    I hope to draw a tag for muzzleloader hunt this fall and I'm interested in purchasing a scope. I've noticed there are several "muzzleloader" scopes, but is there really a difference between a traditional scope for a bolt action rifle? I notice the scope reticle is usually different but...

    How best to save for a mountain goat hunt

    Keep in mind there will be additional costs other than what the outfitter advertises the hunt for. Depending where you go (AK or BC) will probably pay for a charter flight, the license and tag, tips, hotel if you need to stay in town for a couple nights, plane tickets, shipping charges for...

    Looking for BC mt goat outfitter

    I had an ironic turn of events after I posted this thread. I put my name on a cancellation list for a goat hunt in AK and got the phone call! The only other species that could be included were black bear, but I could not pass on a half price goat hunt. It was backpack hunt and I lucked out...

    Looking for BC mt goat outfitter

    A couple years ago I cam very close to going on a mt goat hunt in BC, but unfortunately I had to change my plans and missed out on the opportunity. To make a long story short 2016 looks like it will be the year to finally get it done, but it is pretty late to start planning for the 2016 season...

    AZ clues deer hunting in August

    Ok, thanks for the information. I generally hunt from a tree stand in travel corridors and have good success so I'll probably do the same thing.

    AZ clues deer hunting in August

    This January I did not fill my AZ archery tag but I'll get another chance in August. In previous years I go in December but that won't work out this year. Late December and January is the rut for coues deer and I've had about 50% success rate. There are other hunters during January but I've...

    moisture in insulated boots

    I agree moisture form the damp leather starts to soak into the insulation of the boot after a couple days of hunting in wet conditions. The same thing can happen with my hiking boots but in mild conditions it is less noticeable. Well, sounds like I'm not the only one that gets in this...

    moisture in insulated boots

    I've thought about getting a pair of good quality pack boots for hunting near my truck or in a treestand/blind. How do they perform on the trail? I don't think they would be ideal for walking several miles on a trail, but be good enough for a 1/2 mile walk to a tree stand. What are the...

    moisture in insulated boots

    I have two types of hunting boots, hiking boots I use for early season mild conditions and Cabelas (Meindl) Alaska hunter boots for late season or stand hunting. The Cabelas do good for the first couple days of a hunt, but eventually moisture will build up inside the boots and reduce the...
