    Solo Elk Hunting in Grizzly Country

    Remember this: If a twig snaps in the middle of the night, it's an elk or deer outside. Grizzlies don't snap twigs as they walk through. If you don't hear any noises outside, don't go to sleep....no matter what. 👀

    Drone Etiquette

    Just conversationally......:coffee: I would be less than happy about a drone hanging around overhead watching me or my family. On private property (mine) I'd be considering destructive action, but I'd also be aware that someone would be recording that and concerned (a little) with the legal...

    Anybody know of a 6.6 L5P Duramax buy back?

    People are going a little crazy on the Duramax Forums speculating whether their trucks will be on 'the' list. For that matter, none of it is reality until GM initiates the program. One thing it is definitely doing is to cause lots of negative talk on the DM engines.

    Anybody know of a 6.6 L5P Duramax buy back?

    I've owned 5 Duramax trucks. My current ride is a 2020 Sierra 2500 HD Denali. I'm not aware of any engine issues, but I can tell you the current generation is having extensive DEF system issues which have disabled a LOT of trucks that now await backordered and unavailable parts. It's a circular...

    First stab at item list for day pack…

    We have definitely had bears show up in the first 24 hours to claim a carcass. We bust our butts to get the carcass cleaned up rapidly and the meat away from it. As long as the pack-in isn't far, we run loads all the way. A couple times we've moved bags of meat 250 yards off the dead bull and...

    No longer hunting?

    I personally think it's only 100% normal and reasonable for people to experience changes in the things they enjoy. The evolution of one's life is affected by so many factors, external and internal. I've seen guys quit hunting and become very passionate about a new activity. They LOVED to hunt...

    Has Anyone Done a True DIY?

    You're a do-it-yourself dude in my handbook Doc. It's all relative anyway. If diy really meant we all had to do it without the help of others.....any others.....then few would qualify under those stringent limits. My wife will tell you there's no truth to my claims of doing a diy hunt....she's...

    The Best Years of My Life

    'Old' is a state of mind....someplace you go to find reasons and excuses for not acting youthful and enthusiastic anymore. I always say, "The best year of my life is the one I'm currently living in". I can't equate a number of years lived with how I should think, feel or live today. I like to...

    Let see your best camp photos!

    Watching the sun set on a fine day of backcountry hunting.... My very first tipi and a bit of success... Living good and hunting hard every day.

    Let see your best camp photos!

    The good times are now. Moose camp 2021: Look at the tree clump between the tents in the picture above. Hard to beat waking up to such morning scenery....below. Solo moose camp a couple years back. My family actually had this image enlarged and framed to hang in our home.... High...

    Has Anyone Done a True DIY?

    So am I, and that's exactly what I tell people. The whole diy thing comes into play when people....mostly nonresident hunters....want to differentiate between guided or unguided.

    Has Anyone Done a True DIY?

    I don't get the feeling this thread is about defining 'true' diy....maybe more about the possibility of a nonresident arriving in-state and hunting moose without the help (and extra cost) of hiring other services. We all know it's possible. We also know there's a very big and steep learning...

    Solo Elk Hunting in Grizzly Country

    My practice is to be aware and go prepared....but definitely go. From grizzly country to the subway to the highway to a small town school....there are no risk-free places. I personally would rather contend with Old Long Claws than a psychopath, and I would rather die in a bed of pine straw than...

    In snow country, March and April can be the cruelest of all months.

    Transporter Interview

    1. Do you provide clients with a clear and basic contract to read before signing on? 2. Are your published prices for a future hunt guaranteed? 3. If you decide to raise (my) prices, can I cancel and be refunded? 4. Describe, with specifics, how my meat and trophy are handled. 5. Will other...

    What do you want in a floorless tent?

    Without regard to square footage, here's what keeps me loving my floorless shelter: Extra height. Every inch is valuable up to about 7' at the peak. Ti stove and all that extra heat radiating from a long pipe. No floor to be concerned with re boots, dirt, spills firewood etc. Pyramidal pitch is...

    Are they good eating ?

    The notion that bull caribou meat isn't all that great (to eat) is a rumor started by caribou. 😋😋
