Kenetrek mountain extremes have never leaked for me. But if I’m traveling north to the land of rain I’m wearing LaCrossy Burly boots. Burly Pro side zip to be exact.
I’ll just say it. You are making a mistake. Unless you’re just really really into hiking and camping. If you are all about a realistic plan to hunt and kill elk, you need to rethink your strategy. I can’t think of good reason to go 7 miles into the backcountry. If you were hunting Colorado, you...
Before you pack anything anywhere other than base camp go day hunt it from the truck and make sure you have a reason. If you pack in, set camp, take 2-3 days to find out the elk aren’t there, and another day to pack out your hunt is all but over. In other words confirm your hunt area before...
They aren’t really interested in specific units if they are simply applying for a general license. I think it would be more realistic to assume that until they have enough points to draw they don’t really need to know that. You and I are different. If it were me, I would absolutely drive out and...
You’re looking at things from your perspective. I’ll stop and imagine for a second someone who doesn’t even know what odds or points are. There are so many newbies in western hunting that don’t know a single thing. Look at them as student drivers. I could reply by saying, is it so hard to give...
Exactly. If I had to guess, looking at the quality of that work, or the lack of it, I bet he completely destroyed the original cape and found a replacement and gave it a second crack. You wouldn’t be the first taxidermy customer to get an amount back with the original cape. It happens more...
I’ve seen guys 20 miles in to the wilderness. I don’t care if you’re in a bar or on the mountain. Don’t ever assume no one is tougher than you. You should always put some kind of geographic barrier between you and the masses. It can be miles, it can be elevation, usually a combination of both...
You’re clueless. Try golf. Well maybe not because you have to fill out a card showing your score. Better skip bowling too. How about cornhole? No paperwork.
Once the algae starts to form in the bag and the tube, you won’t notice that taste anymore. It really goes away in the winter once the hose freezes up. Dumped that long ago for 2 Nalgene bottles.
I used to do that. Pick a chunk of country and hunt it. However it had to be hunted. In western Montana that meant still hunting because it was all timber. So much timber that the elk didn’t focus on open areas because there just weren’t many. Sitting on the edge of a meadow early or late rarely...
