    The Road to Brooks Range Dall Sheep!

    I went on a pricey Duncan Gilchrist book-buying spree and can attest to their quality. I'm t-minus nine months from a Brooks Range sheep hunt and I read and re-read them regularly.

    Brooks Range 2021 Return Training and Gear Prep Begins

    Also doing a Dall Sheep hunt in 2021. Used the Stone Glacier puffy all year -- from Nevada to Washington and Wyoming and it's coming with me to AK. Really recommend it.

    Underwear- What, how many, how many days.... TP, Handi Wipes or Paper Towels....

    +1 for daily wipes. I bring two pairs and treat one like a backup. It's easier to run one pair for longer depending on the weather -- did a Nevada hunt in August at 10K feet, lots of climbing and lots of sweating and really put one pair to the test for six days. Here's a controversial opinion...

    Who's Retired?

    @BuckeyeDAN Have you ever researched FIRE (financial independence, retire early) -- there are some decent messages boards and communities online, although a lot of the folks who aspire to "fire" can sometimes sound like lunatics, penny-pinching themselves into a joyless life until they hit their...

    Zeiss - Customer Service

    After breaking my first one I thought "I wonder if these things break a lot..." lol. I love my Conquests but wish they were burlier, at least the eye cups.

    Zeiss - Customer Service

    Yeah, I busted an eyecup on a pair of Conquest HD's and had a new one sent to me 72 hours later.

    Schnee's Beartooth Break-In

    Hmm, it's been my experience that if you're sliding forward on downhill that you're either not locked in well enough across the top of your foot (which you can try to tighten or may just be foot/ankle shape incompatibility) OR that maybe your insole is sliding. I mention this because it happened...

    Good to know! Thanks for the info. A buddy just went through the process in WY and he said it was straight forward.

    Off the shelf .300 Win Mag recommendation

    I shot the Kimber quite a bit -- it was a 300 WM shooting 180gr hand loads. The muzzle break seemed to do a ton for recoil and it jumped about as bad as my .270. I don't claim to be some tough guy with recoil and would greatly prefer a gun that doesn't kick you like a mule, but neither my .270...

    Off the shelf .300 Win Mag recommendation

    I currently own a Sako A7 .270. I know about as much as your average life-long hunter about calibers, I keep up with the new stuff like the PRC’s and what have you but I don’t know squat about any of the lesser know makes nor do I do deep research on ballistics — I’m not a tinkerer. But luckily...

    Deer in the Thorofare?

    Grew up in Cody, never hunted the Thorofare but there are definitely a ton of mule deer in there. I'd say get the tag, I'd rather be able to go after a big buck with a tag in my pocket then see one and have to pass.

    So I wear a 10.5 in just about everything (Nike) -- a 44 euro except for a 45 euro in some clip-in bike shoes -- and I would say these fit true to size (they're a 10.5us / 44eu). There's some nice room in the toe box but not too much. I did a big up and down as a part of that 15 miles and didn't...
