    Hunting near wildfires - How close is too close?

    Fires are about 300 acres, very little containment, and predicted wind direction doesn't really blow our way. Escape options are limited, as we will be pretty far in. I'll keep monitoring and adjust my plan accordingly...

    Hunting near wildfires - How close is too close?

    Have an Idaho hunt in 9 days. As we all know, ID has quite a few fires burning right now. My spot I've been scouting and planning on hunting is about 10 miles as the crow flies from the closest fire. Air quality is not terrible, but I'm concerned about the fire making moves towards us during the...

    Bear Resistant Bags

    Bear canisters suck to pack, but they are pretty nice to have. We do some backpacking in high alpine areas at or above the treeline, and these make bear proof food storage very easy. Just walk 100-200 yds from camp and toss it. There are also several national parks and usfs areas across the US...

    WY Elk, what does the future tell us?

    I see mentions to recessions and/or high gas prices = less out of state hunters. I don't think this will have a notable impact. Non res hunters are typically not your low or even middle income folks. If you can afford to fly halfway across the country, rent a car, buy thousands of dollars of...

    Boots!

    Danner fan here. Most recent pair of pronghorns have been on my feet for about 4 years now. I apply Sno-Seal 1-2x per year and they have held up very nicely. Comfortable and tough boots.

    Co high country cutthroat fishing pointers

    Ants, beetles, and hoppers are great topwater options. Wooly Buggers, midges, scuds, and pheasant tails are great subsurface options. In my experience, the fish feed pretty heavily in the short window they have without ice. Keep the leader and tippet as light as possible and watch your shadow...

    onX Maps Line Question

    Doing some e-scouting for an upcoming elk hunt and ran into a question. The area we hunt has patches of land that were previously logged. In these areas I am seeing a small single dash gray line (image included). Onx also shows these roads behind a gate. Based off of everyone's previous...
