    Controlled Elk vs. Unlimited Deer

    I believe you had to apply during the controlled hunt drawing period to get one of the unlimited tags. i believe it is not unlimited over the counter, but no limit during the controlled hunt drawing.

    Grizzly bear killed in Unit 6

    it is not so much the animal, but the laws pertaning to the animal. For me, access rules to the forest change because of them. I am not worried about the animal, just don't like being told i can not go somewhere anymore because they are making a comeback. ie snowmobile access in winter in...

    Stock/bond allocation

    So I am an employer and in 2009, i cut my pay rate in half, so i could pay my employees, but i maxed out my 401k. I was able to buy lots and lots of shares for the next 5 years. That approach has worked out very nice for me now. If the market does tank, buy, buy, buy!

    What if the federal government decided to start selling off swaths off public land?

    But, there school systems have lots of money. Idaho public schools do not, mainly due to the fact we are 66% public land, so the local taxing districts don't have as much of a tax base. So large swath's of public land do not allow the local communites much tax base, but do allow lots of...

    What if the federal government decided to start selling off swaths off public land?

    If you are saying private land should not be private. I am against that. Personally you need to be more specific on which government owned land can and can't be sold. Ie a post office not being used anymore should be sold. Forest service land, not so much. But i don't believe we are...

    Soft-sided coolers - recommendations

    I guess we are hard on stuff. i have had zipper failures on the yeti hopper and the rtic. the new hopper magnet works, but can be a pain in the butt to clean, load ect.

    Hoping to get some suggestions on the type/specs on what kind of pedal bike to buy for hunting?

    old man mountain makes some nice racks. surely makes some nice racks. you can only load so much weight on them though. Don't put to much on the front, it makes the steering wierd.

    It is a bob trailer and the roberts axle project allows you to hook them to newer rear axles.

    Revelate designs is the gold standard for bike packing bags. you can find the same concept for less though.

    Hoping to get some suggestions on the type/specs on what kind of pedal bike to buy for hunting?

    tire size is alot like caliber discusion. But i have been using a fat bike that can take 29x3 or 26x4. the 29x3 seems to be the best all around for hunting, but i like the 29x2.5 for mtn biking and the 26x5 for winter riding. I got 5 bikes so, i got options. a hard tail 29er with a rack and...

    Hoping to get some suggestions on the type/specs on what kind of pedal bike to buy for hunting?

    Personally i would not waste my money on a bike under $1000. You won't be able to stop with a loaded bike. Basically the brakes and all other components will be junk. I have used full suspension cross country race bikes, to whatever i had laying around to presently using a fat bike with 2...

    Has anyone used their bear spray?

    I was having an issue with a neighbors pet. I asked a fish and game office what i should do, he told me how he handled the same exact situation and his method works. I have never seen that animal at my place ever since.

    2024 float hunt

    the yeti zippers are a weak point,I have broke to many in bad places. nrs and watershed have the best bags. bills bags from nrs have been the gold standard for multiday trips for decades.
