    Best way to carry bow in backcountry?

    Thanks for the pictures! Do you feel like you could use trekking poles with this setup or no? I've got a knee that is giving me some trouble and trekking poles seem to help. Wasn't sure how free your arms were with the setup. Side note: I'm not normally into tattoos but yours are pretty cool!

    A God Thing - Elk Hunting Lesson from a 56 year old self-taught DIY'er

    Man, loosing a child must be insanely difficult. I can't wrap my head around it honestly. Thank you for being vulnerable yourself. I'm glad the outdoors is a place where you have found some help dealing with the loss. I'm guessing if that happened to me my faith, family support, consoling and...

    A God Thing - Elk Hunting Lesson from a 56 year old self-taught DIY'er

    GotDraw2 - Jews and Muslims believe in God. I can't speak for others, but if Jews or Muslims wanted to post about their experiences in the outdoors and how they felt the presence of God, I'd love to hear about it. I'm also completely fine with Atheists asking questions or questioning my beliefs...

    Well, I learned something new today. I had no idea what Bye Felicia meant, but googled it and sure enough, it had the answer for me. For you older folks out there it means "whatever".

    Like some Backcountry Sleeping Pad Suggestions Please!!

    Hey Guys, I'm a 56 year old backcountry hunter who has never really gotten the sleeping pad thing right. A little background. Unfortunately I'm a side sleeper. Almost every tome without fail my hips and shoulders almost feel bruised by the end of a week of backcountry camping because hips and...

    A God Thing - Elk Hunting Lesson from a 56 year old self-taught DIY'er

    That's a good point! I'll try to etch that one into my memory bank. My 32 year old son drew a Park County Wyoming elk tag this year. I'm going with him to call and haul meat hopefully. There are plenty of Grizzly in that area of the country.

    A God Thing - Elk Hunting Lesson from a 56 year old self-taught DIY'er

    I appreciate your thoughts and comments. Life is certainly interesting and mysterious (to me). I tend to look at unanswered prayers as God's plan being different from mine - and in the end, God knows best. No one can argue that some of life's hardest lessons can come from our mistakes or...

    Lesson #2 from a 56 year old self taught DIY'r - take care of the feet! If you are new to elk hunting, read this!!

    I live in Michigan and began doing some DIY elk hunts about 25 years ago. Back then there was not as much information available at your fingertips about hunting out west - but I read magazines, watched videos and did what I could to learn. Starting out my main focuses was on calls, broadheads...

    A God Thing - Elk Hunting Lesson from a 56 year old self-taught DIY'er

    Dubz337 - I'm not going to try to convince you to believe like I do. I have buddies that I hunt and fish with that believe like you do and I enjoy hanging out with them. We just try to respect each others perspective. I don't know how a person can roll out of bed in the morning, climb to the top...

    A God Thing - Elk Hunting Lesson from a 56 year old self-taught DIY'er

    Being a 56 year old engineer who loves to teach people about the things I've learned (usually by making mistakes myself), I got to thinking that I have a few hunting lessons that I could share to help people realize not only how stupid I can be, but also perhaps keep people from making the same...

    your good (or not so good) customer service interactions of late

    I bought a Fenwick Flyrod in Bozeman two years ago at Bob Wards. Got the receipt and put it my son's glovebox. 2 days later I'm fishing the Gallatin and stumble on some rocks and fall - breaking my rod. I go home, call my son a week later and ask for the receipt to be sent to me. He threw it...

    Hey Jake - I saw your Montana Bear Hunting post below mine and wondered if I could ask you a couple of questions if you don't mind? 1) Do you have a certain time of the season that you think is best for bear hunting? 2) Do you sit in steeper country and glass across the valley to the other...

    Need advice

    My grandfather was a Conservation Officer in Michigan for many years and did SSS on free running dogs chasing deer many a time. I had a similar situation to yours when I lived in Mississippi other than instead of being 2 miles away - they could hear the first S - so I put up with it in fear of...

    Wyoming Unit 63-3 Elk

    Hello Rokslide Family, Reaching out because my 31 year old son drew a unit 63-3 tag this year. He applied for this unit based on my recommendation. I'm kind of the self appointed preference point keeper and spot to hunt finder for the two of us. I have some ON-X generated plans for scouting...

    2023 Wyoming Elk Draw Results

    Just got back from bear hunting in Montana with my son. We didn't harvest anything but it was good to get out. Saw one good bear but it didn't work out. Ben (my son) drew a unit 63-3 elk tag. Only took 15 points :). Glad he started applying for points when he was 16. If anyone has any insight...
