    Non resident Iowa

    I thought you could get a farm only tag for immediate family? But only good on your land. Is that only for residents as a second tag? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Proximity vs Stratus jacket

    I have a stratus set and have worn it with layers from 70 in texas down to 10 degrees in montana. Im a huge fan of it. The stratus is very versatile and quiet. If youre only hunting in the cold, id look for more insulation built in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    SITKA Mountain EVO jacket, Review **Updated 9/20/23**

    When trying them on, I had to size up a size from normal in order to layer anything but a base layer underneath. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    SITKA Ambient Collection

    Agreed about the hood issues. I use a core lt weight hoody base layer and prefer no other hoods until my outer or insulation layer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Undecided SO DST tarp or Kifaru sheep tarp

    Ive had both. I thought the DST was too big to set up quickly or in tight spaces. The sheep tarp is quite a bit smaller. Its easy to bring and set up but its tight. I'd prefer something in the middle but still have the sheep tarp. I sold the DST.

    Haha lots of people have told me to buy lotto tickets or go to vegas. Sadly i didnt win any of the billion dollar jackpots from this summer or fall. Ill add, these were the first random tags Ive drawn besides low end NM deer tags in my life. Every other tag Ive drawn has been on preference...

    A Shiras September

    Final thoughts- Im so blessed to have had this opportunity. Its so rare to hunt moose and Id been contemplating giving up my CO points for a cow. The trend for moose is down. Its also reflected in the bull and cow tags issued. Sadly every state seems to have a declining moose population except...

    A Shiras September

    So after hunting 2 shiras moose this season here are a few thoughts and observations- "Moose are everywhere around here" I heard this more times than I can remember. I saw 3 bulls total on my 2 hunts and shot 2 of them. I saw another 6 cow/calfs. Thats with 11 days in the field. Moose are low...

    This butcher job and packout was tough but some of the guides friends were camped nearby and came to help. Just great people who loved moose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A Shiras September

    Slipsliding our way down to him, we see a real nice paddle and then nothing. Were wondering did he break off his other side. As we get up there we see he has an amazing deformed antler on his downhill side. Such a unique bull that I couldnt be happier with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A Shiras September

    He was across a drainage and we got him worked up. We started dropping down and he committed to meet us for a fight. I thought he blew out but we just couldnt hear him in the bottom as he crossed. Eventually hes raking and thrashing working uphill on a steep slope to us. Hes covered in brush...

    A Shiras September

    On day 7 of a 5 day hunt and my last day, we hiked about 4 mile loop chasing a ghost and got more rain and fog. We drove to our different calling locations and on the 4th stop we got our first response grunt! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A Shiras September

    We decided to hunt the last week of September and everything Id researched said it should be prime rut hunting. To make a long story a little shorter, we got awful weather. After 5 days of mostly rain, fog, full moon and wind, wed seen one cow. We covered a few miles on closed roads, about 100...

    A Shiras September

    I was home for almost 2 weeks and them went to idaho. I did decide to hire a guide due to constraints with logistics, friends with strong backs and time. Im glad I did because the moose were more mountain moose in the timber with elk and not loafing in the willows. Id talked to some previous tag...

    A Shiras September

    Since we got done a little early, we went to a friends elk camp in another unit to help them locate elk. I got the bull checked and still came home to the family a day early. All in all a fantastic hunt with my best friends. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A Shiras September

    My friends picked me up and we looped in front of them. Unfortunately theyd been spooked up a little finger ridge by some road hunters. We were regrouping and trying to come up with a plan when we saw them move to our side of the ridge. I said what the hell and decided to move up the ridge and...

    A Shiras September

    Next morning we do our loop again. Were glassing a drainage and talking to some campers when I see a moose at about 400 yards. Hes coming out of the timber and it ends up being the two bulls from the night before. We quickly make a plan. Their willow patch and creek is about 100 yards wide and...
