    Sitka AK fishing advice

    I just booked our self guided trip for August of 25' in Sitka through Fish Baranof. We have done Ketchikan a bunch with our own boat but since they shut down the ferry from Prince Ruppert we can't get a boat to Ketchikan (and then my dad sold it) so we are doing this. I am taking my wife and 11...

    I'm not voting for Trump!

    posting these is real grilled cheese at night energy. FWIW I agree, I just don't go around posting things like this.

    Unit 420A idaho advice

    I don't want your honey holes, I just want to know where all the deer are. I am only kidding lol This unit doesn't exist in Idaho. Now who is ready to chase some mule deer this fall? I've been hitting the local hill to train and have some scouting trips planned in September. Can't wait!

    How do you pay for your gear?

    I am the used gear king. Almost all my expensive gear i bought it second hand here for way less than retail. Me and my wife also budget well so that gets included in there for things I need like new boots last year. If I get a large bonus at work then I'll splurge a little on something I didn't...

    Kuiu verde or valo for Colorado elk and muley?

    You are way over thinking it. Just get whatever you like. Movement and knowing the wind is way more important.

    Salomon quest winter for elk hunting?

    Get leather boots for winter, Crispi Nevada uninsulated. They will last way longer and hold up better. If you want slightly insulated they make them with 200g.

    High Country Solo Mule Deer and Pack Goats

    I have done that before too, just a hundred yards or so while I was elk hunting. I more meant if you were going to be gone all day. Your scenario makes sense and is what would probably work best. Though I can only imagine the kind of predator attention of bunch of crying goats gets :ROFLMAO:

    High Country Solo Mule Deer and Pack Goats

    I am willing to bet that a mature buck won't hang around much to find out what's going on with a couple goats within archery range. I did kill a buck with my rifle with my goats. It did work in my advantage as he saw the goats and was staring at them while i got set up. Again we were almost 300...

    Bring your sheep legs. It's some steep and nasty stuff. Get a wolf tag.

    Washington High Buck

    Oregons High buck is a draw. I do agree with you mostly. for it make sense to me you would need to make the general season at least a week longer. I also find the Buck tags vs quality tags silly. Everything this state does is silly though.

    What's something you wish you would have learned sooner in life

    This is basically what I came to say. I live a debt free life besides my house and having no payments is the best feeling.

    Moving to Oregon from CA

    Washington is probably worse than Oregon. I live in Eastern WA. It's not as bad as the west side but our whole state is ruled by King County (kind of ironic name for a county). If my stepson's dad and our good jobs weren't here, we would move. For now we are stuck here.

    The higher the better for early mulies?

    I agree with a everything said. It's definitely unit/area specific. Maybe pick 4 to 6 spots a couple way up high and some lower.
