    Dudes with nut allergies-What are you taking for food?

    I cannot have peanuts either. Sun butter is a great alternative, it is made from sunflower seeds. it is pretty high in fat and calories. It taste very much like peanut butter. Whole foods has the single serving packages.

    I am from VA, and the best gear I invested in was good breathable clothes. The first time I hunted out west I used my normal whitetail clothes and almost roasted. The amount of sweat was unreal, and my clothes stayed wet. Be sure to get either merino, or synthetic leave the cotton at home...

    Semi guided versus DIY OTC elk hunts

    some places call drop camps semi guided. Most are like you you said. I am really more interested in a DIY hunt, for several reasons. Mainly the DIY for the reason of doing everything on your own. The issue is the planning and knowing where to get started.

    I just picked up my new Tikka in 300 wsm. Do most people use the clamp on style rings, or add a base and rings? it came with clamp on style rings, but most people say they are junk.
