    MT 323 goat tag!

    Hey fellas, my brother drew a MT goat tag for 323 after 14 years of applying. I’m tagging along with him for the hunt and wanted to see if any of you have hunted that unit and could provide some insight. Neither of us have hunted goats before but we’ve been busy the past week calling epic and...

    Which WM bag for me?

    What are your thoughts on either the alpinlite (20*) or terralite (25*)?? I’m wondering if the 20/25 bag wouldn’t be sufficient knowing I may have to sleep in base layers or even a puffy on cold nights. Will be sleeping in a hilleberg nallo2gt...

    Which WM bag for me?

    I’m 6’0” and 185 lbs. I’m going on a mtn goat hunt with my brother in Montana this sept/oct (he drew a NR tag!) and we’ll be going on a sheep/caribou hunt in the NWT in 2020. I’m considering the badger, versatile and possibly the sequoia. Is the gore windstopper worth it? Thanks for any...

    What scope do you run?

    I put a Z8i 2-16x50 on my 300 win 92 backcountry and added the ballistic turret. Light scope with great glass! Perfect sheep/elk gun for me... I actually started with the 4-16x42 atacr but the casing would hit the wind turret and fall back in the action while trying to eject it. Instead of...

    Coopers New Model 92 Backcountry

    Shot a few rounds out of mine yesterday and found a winner. I’m shooting 180 grain Barnes tsx, with 70.5 grains of IMR 4831. Shot a three shot group at 200 with same hole punched twice and the third round cut those two. Very happy with this rifle!! **edit** tried attaching picture but it...

    Opinions on finished mount?

    Thanks for the video links! My taxidermist suggested changing the head angle, this seems like a much better option and basically turns it into a wall clearance form.

    Opinions on finished mount?

    Thanks for all the reply’s. The taxidermist suggested to lower the angle of the head position and then roll back the horns as far as the wall will allow. Would you guys recommend a different neck angle or maybe turn the head more to a straight instead of a right turn to create more distance to...

    Opinions on finished mount?

    Just got my bull elk mount back today and found out the taxidermist decided to roll the horns forward to get wall clearance he needed pushing his G1’s nearly down to his forehead. I contacted him right away and he offered to have it transported back to CO from WI and fix it. I’m wondering what...

    I can’t believe I booked a multi species NWT hunt!

    Congrats on taking the leap and booking your dream hunt! I just sent my deposit a couple weeks ago to hunt with Stan in 2020 as well. I’m doing a sheep/caribou hunt with my two brothers 8/4-8/15. We’ve been on a lot of elk hunts but never hunted sheep and it’s our first trip to the NWT as...

    Single pin vs 5 pin sight

    I switched a couple years ago from a 5 pin fixed to a single pin slider. I tested the time it took to slide the pin after ranging and realized that was never going to cost me a shot at a bull. With the speed of today’s bows (470 grain arrow at 302fps) I don’t need 5 pins stacked on top off...

    Looking for Info 2018 Dall Sheep

    What dates are gonna be up there with MMO? I’m doing a sheep/caribou hunt with my two brothers 8/4-8/15/2020! I drew a really good WY elk tag this year and the only thing I can think about is the NWT and the hunt we have planned with Stan😂

    Whose done lathrop and sons foot mapping system?

    Ordered my kit today, I’ve always just bought danners for my elk hunts but this year we’ll be hunting south of Casper WY in the boulders for a couple weeks so I figured this will be money well spent and hopefully the boots are still good in 2020 for my NWT hunt with MMO. Just too many boots to...

    need advice on pad and bag

    I’m interested in learning more about quilts, hadn’t really considered them but it seems like a great concept...what are the biggest pros or cons between the two? I know some of this is personal preference but what about down, synthetic, or kuiu super down?

    need advice on pad and bag

    I’ll be going on a backpack hunt this Sept for the first time. I’ve always slept in a nice comfy wall tent with my Cabelas cot and pad so I need to invest in some new gear. I’ll also be going on a NWT Dall Sheep hunt in 2020 so the pad and bag I’m going to buy now for my sept WY elk hunt will...
