    Let's Talk Bison!

    The bison like to come through Long Hollow and stay low, from what I've seen at least. When I had my tag, I would drive to the furthest northeast parking area on the refuge and then climb the ridges just to the NW of that a area at first light. That was my favorite vantage point for glassing...

    Buying a dedicated deer and elk rifle for Colorado

    I have a friend that used to own a pump action Remington 30-06 (maybe 7600), very similar to your 742. It downright sucked to shoot. She swapped it out for a Ruger M77 .270 win. Its just something about those guns that make them no fun to practice with. I have a .270 win and a 7mm-08. The...

    Webcam Elk

    I'll let you know if I see anything. I got my cow on the VERY last day of the season a few years ago. The weather did not cooperate that year and I was fully prepared to eat tag soup. You probably already know this but the folks at the WYGF office in Jackson are tremendously helpful on...

    Webcam Elk

    Good luck! I wish the temps here were about 40 degrees cooler for you but there's nothing you can do about that! I did see a group of 50-70 bison just to the north of the Refuge yesterday so maybe they'll be moving a bit regardless.

    Recommended transport companies for Alaskan Caribou Hunting

    Any updates on BRA from folks that hunted with them in 2015? We are looking to book a trip with them in 2016 but I'm curious what the current status is. Any info would be much appreciated.

    Need help buying first pack (Exo Mountain or Kuiu)

    To be redundant, buy them and try them. In the past year I've tried a Kuiu Ultra, Stone Glacier Solo and Mystery Ranch Metcalf. I too wanted to like the Kuiu (cheaper and light) and then the Stone Glacier (light and made in American) but the Mystery Ranch fit ME like I needed it to and will be...

    Want to know anti-hunting companies

    I couldn't help but notice in 2014 Patagonia gave money to Trout Unlimited (pgs. 41, 58), Pheasants Forever (pg. 53), Wyoming Wildlife Federation (pg. 61), and even TRCP (pg. 49). Here is the link again... http://www.patagonia.com/pdf/en_US/ENV14-Printed_r2.pdf

    Which gaiters do you prefer...

    Shout out to DeLorme

    I wouldn't head out without mine. Its one piece of technology worth having out there and a step up from some of the other brands (at least at this point in time) IMO. Although it does work decently well as a stand alone unit, I think its much, much smoother and easier when paired with a...

    Model 70 Extreme Weather SS

    I have one in .300 WSM and it is really fussy with factory ammo (2.5" @ 100 was the norm with a variety of brands). I didn't reload when I first got it so I stuck with factory ammo and I missed a nice bull. I don't blame the gun for the miss but my confidence was shaken so I went back to the...

    Bear protection

    The stats side with bear spraygiven all the variables. http://wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/bear_cougar/bear/files/JWM_BearSprayAlaska.pdf But, I hunt in NW Wyoming and always carry a firearm of some kind in addition to spray. My personal choice during archery is a Ruger Alaskan .44 with 340 grain...

    What do you guys do for food?

    Breakfast: Granola with dehydrated milk pre-made for each morning. I like to get up and go. When I get to my morning glassing spot, I just add a bit of water and eat up. I usually have a breakfast bar of some kind for the 8-9am munchies. I do pack a few starbucks packets but I don't always...

    Going Cheap

    If you're truck camping, no big deal. Bring some extra blankets. Backpacking could go either way. You would, of course, be better off with a decent bag but if you're okay with the possibility of having a less-than-ideal nights sleep, you could probably get by. I've spent a few nights with...

    .300 WSM and Elk

    I picked up a 300WSM a few years back and shot a cow with it last year for the first time. I was using 165 grains Barnes TTSX (Barnes brand ammo). She took 2 steps forward and 4 steps backwards and I had a freezer full of meat.

    Water Treatment/Purification/Filtration

    I use a steriPEN, which is bit more weight but I don't have to worry about it freezing. The obvious limitation would be really silty water but I've never had a problem finding clear enough water. I've been thinking about a Sawyer system but they say to replace if they freeze which doesn't seem...
