    Rocky Mountain All Terrain tires?

    Used to run TA KO2 on my F150s. Last time around the prices jumped to double what the Cooper AT3s were. 30k later they've been fine. Not quite as grippy but certainly quieter.

    Inreach mini 2 vs messenger

    Id recommend you take a look at Zoleo. For a host of reasons I switched a few seasons ago and am VERY glad I did. It's only downside is not onboard screen, like the Mini, but the other poaitives far out weigh it.

    Among The Old Oaks and Fallow Deer, by Everett Headley

    The "Tiny Two" as I've taken to calling them are what I need on my next trip. I saw many as roadkill. They definitely get forgotten about when the fallow and red are around.

    White Sands Missile Range Oryx 101

    I sat down with Gilbert Villegas, biologist on WSMR, in my podcast to help first time hunters cover a lot of questions. Everything went perfectly for me and I killed a 36" cow in less than a hour, but that was just good fortune. Incredibly cool experience...

    Taking food across the border

    Crossed last fall no issues. Just check what the current regs are. I don't recall even being asked about food. Also, just in case, suppressors and handguns are a no no.

    How many inReach Units are needed for a group of hunters?

    I would also add to the conversation, especially for anyone travelling a distance to get to their hunt, sat coms are cheap insurance if anything goes wrong. If you watch any survival or missing shows, you just think "that guy would be fine if he just had one." It's not a cure for stupid...

    How many inReach Units are needed for a group of hunters?

    There's a few reasons. 1. I ran an InReach for several seasons, with a few different phones and it was always buggy. This made me loose confidence in it. 2. Zoleo gives you a dedicate SMS number. If you want someone to contact you, they can just text it like any other cell. There's no...

    How many inReach Units are needed for a group of hunters?

    Everyone should have their own. I'd also suggest you look at Zoleo. I made the switch a couple seasons ago and well worth it.

    Gear List - February NM DIY Aoudad

    I'd add snakebite gaiters. Not for the snakes, but for everything else that can poke you out there. I had a yucca stab me and break off. Required an ER visit to remove.

    Moving to Missoula, MT… bad idea?

    Ah, Missoula. I loved it growing up, endure it now as an adult.

    Burn 2 Wyoming Antelope Points or Save Them?

    I haven't parsed the draw for WY antelope yet this year, but my take so far: Numbers are of course down in most of the state, which will push the points needed up. I used to say you could have a decent hunt every other year (1 point), but I'd push that to 2-3 now. For a good hunt (more bucks...

    Weird find in the woods

    I'm hoping someone else might be able to shed some light on this: In the woods this last month chasing elk and stumbled upon a 15ft circle of trees with spray painted numbers at the base. We were two miles in and off trail on USFS. They started with one at about southeast and went clockwise up...

    Nosler ABLR for Oryx

    FWIW, I took my orxy at 180yds, one shot, with a 180gr Nosler Etip in my 300WM. I've been nothing but satisfied with all my shots using an Etip.

    Suggestions/recommendations for location for wilderness first aid class

    Just a suggestion to you all looking to take your WFA or WAFA, it is well worth your time and money to invest in the Wilderness First Responder (WFR). The increased level of skill is significant. You'll feel much more confident and prepared for wilderness emergency care.

    Suppressor wait times

    I have 2 in jail. Both submitted 11/9/22. One was just approved today, 6/27/22: 230 days. No word on the second one. Interestingly though, I did call ATF today to check on my application and was told it wad pending. I also sent a request to my Representative on it. Curiously coincidental or not?

    Moving to the UK and hunting/"Outdoorsing" options in Europe?

    My buddy Charlie Jacoby runs Fieldsports in the UK, he'd be an excellent resource. I had him on my podcast last year about UK hunting. I have two others from France and Spain that'll drop soonish. But if you go west, you'll find those more alpine settings that you'll really be looking for.
