    What is your thoughts?

    From what I can tell there are only certain OTC licenses for pronghorn and whitetail....and of course elk.

    What is your thoughts?

    Not to my knowledge....which is somewhat limited to say the least. Sure would be nice though.

    Anyone else hunt Solo their first elk hunt?

    This is true. There is a lot to gain, even from an unsuccessful hunt. Of course you don't want to travel and prep and come out empty handed but being alone on a mountainside is a growing experience. You get to learn a lot, and work out all kinds of quirks with your gear, etc. I live out here...

    Anyone else hunt Solo their first elk hunt?

    I did my first hunt solo. I had my mentor at the time take me scouting there first and I returned once before the season to scout it again. He had already planned a hunt in another unit that I wasn't going to be able to make because of my work schedule so he turned me on to this particular...

    First Big Game Rifle

    My wife and I both shoot 300WM and I think it would be a good choice. I'm not hip on the Brownings but the Ruger Hawkeyes are good solid rifles. I own a couple of the newer model 70 rifles right now, and I have enjoyed them both. My wife is a little lady and I'm not a big guy by any means but...

    Very well could be more to the story. I still have my suspicions outside of this incident.

    Brush Busting Pants?

    I use the Carhartt model B01.....made in the USA and you can tell the difference in them and the imported ones. They have a double front on the thigh that extends to just below the knee and they have a nice fit. I've heard great things about the Duluth pants but the Carhartts are just very...

    Hunting guide shot in New Mexico

    There's a strong political agenda in this country that has it in a stranglehold....painting illegals in a bad light and wanting us to have apathy for hunters is very counter active to that agenda. That's my suspicion.

    Hunting guide shot in New Mexico

    I did some work for the irrigation district near Progresso, TX back in 2009. All of the transformers and and pumps had bullet proof barriers around them, and they had been shot up pretty badly. The guy that works the substation told us that if you stay there long enough you will often see...

    Hunting guide shot in New Mexico

    I guess them taking him to El Paso made me think it happened in Texas. It's amazing how this kind of news kinda slips under the rug and goes unnoticed by many. If the guide would have killed any of the illegals that were trying to kill innocent people he probably would have been demonized and...

    Hunting guide shot in New Mexico

    My wife was telling me about it this morning. I originally thought the guide was from New Mexico but the shooting took place in Texas. I'll have to go to the article. Sad this happened.

    Head lamps

    I use a Princeton Tec Remix and I love it. There's no red light but it has an extremely low setting and it will spot light well. The battery life is amazing. It does have the button on top like yours but I've never had it turn on unintentionally.

    Public Land Privatization, What We Can Do

    Those resource prices are slowly coming up but they tend to flounder around because of OPEC dealings going back and fourth. They are still pretty low, but nowhere near the bottom. The middle of 2016 saw the bottom....one of the deepest bottoms ever. There was never actually a decrease in...

    Top 5 gear items that help you hunt more efficiently/comfortably

    That's right. I prep with dead and dried kindling, soak it with girl scout water and voila!. :D Nah, I hear ya though. I've actually got the cottonballs and vasoline in the fire kit. We also see this camp once a year if we are lucky so prep is not something we are able or willing to put...

    Top 5 gear items that help you hunt more efficiently/comfortably

    Haha. I call it getting the fire going strong so we can tend to other things, and have a nice coal bed before bed. I know, I know, all you guys use a bow to start your fires at spike camp. I'll take my "girl scout water". :D

    Kifaru Customer Service is Great!

    I walked in one day with a small item that I was unhappy with and they didn't even blink. They just took it from me, disappeared into the back and came out minutes later with a perfect one, no questions.
