    Scarpa Zodiac Plus GTX vs ?

    Echoing the facts about Zodiac Plus (hiker) vs the Tech (real mountain boot) -- I have the Tech and it's awesome. Ultra light, ultra stiff, waterproof, great boot. If your feet don't get cold you could probably wear it year round. I wear uninsulated Schnee's Absaroka II's in snow/zero degree...

    Been Doing it Wrong....

    @roosiebull -- what sort of sign do you find to be the most important or exciting? big fresh tracks, i assume?

    Puffy pants

    I have the FL Uncompahgre pants and have found that they're warm and the zips are useful. They don't pack down near as small as down (naturally) but for whatever reason I've convinced myself that pants should be synthetic because your ass is often on the ground and the ground is often wet. I...

    Question on WY NR License Types

    Most of region F is wilderness so as a NR you'll be extremely limited in the areas you can hunt. Paired up with 95% of the mule deer traffic being weather/seasonal migration, hunting in thick bear country and again, you're not able to get to a lot of the places because of WY NR wilderness...

    Can I hijack for a second to ask about neck sizing, @rayporter? (or anyone) I FL resize but was under the impression that a fired piece of brass is formed for your chamber so it stands to reason that you'd want to do the minimal amount of resizing/trimming after that. I was thinking that one...

    Dies

    You can totally start with just the FL sizing die and a seating die. I'm sure more experienced reloaders will chime in but the neck sizing dies and FL bushing dies are useful when you start needing to work your brass with more precision. (The cases for that being you're into long...

    24hrs in Anchorage

    Humpies, Club Paris, The Mooses Tooth, all of these just sound like stripclubs after the suggestion of The Bush Company. It sounds like my Anchorage experience will be "Netflix on my phone and sprinting onto the next plane outta town."

    24hrs in Anchorage

    I made the genius move of overlapping my sheep hunt with my one year wedding anniversary and as cool as my wife is me texting "Yo bb I'm at the Alaska Bush Company thinkin of u" before/after the sheep hunt might be a bridge too far for the girl.

    24hrs in Anchorage

    I've got 24 hours in Anchorage between a flight in and then a flight up to Prudhoe Bay for a Brooks Range sheep hunt this August. I suppose I'll pop over to Barney's to see if they have any of that 40" ram urine attractant in stock but other than that any spots anyone recommends for meals or...

    WTB Large Rifle Magnum and Large Rifle Primers, Powder

    Live in Washington State and reload for .300WM and .270 -- willing to meet you in driving distance. It's a long shot but figured I'd ask the Rokslide lads before heading to GB.

    Odds my July NWT dall hunt happens?

    It's fully in the US's best interest to help Canada open faster. The US does about 600 billion a year in trade with our deceivingly polite neighbors to the north which doesn't include the sixteen million suspiciously genteel Canadians who visit the US with their funny Canuck bucks every year...

    Grizzly Attack

    I kicked up a sub-adult grizzly cub while turkey hunting this weekend -- tall grass, was hiking up a steep steep slope downwind, he had his face in the dirt chewing through roots and green-up. He couldn't smell us coming up the hill and didn't hear us and I damn near stepped on him, probably...
