Arizona late rifle 18B tag
VERY TOUGH HUNT...accompanied a friend on his hunt, Prescott-AZ resident, 3 years ago. He had scouted 3 units extensively. Even had 9 cams up on water sources. For 3 months, only 1 cam had images of elk and only 5 cows at that. Way more deer came to water than elk. We did find some elk on... -

Kifaru Scout vs. ?
I was fortunate to get in on the run of Scout packs. Fulfills my daypack-short hunt from vehicle gear needs. Used my Scout pack combined w/LG Pocket a lot in the AZ desert in Jan2021&2022. Easily held my optics, tripods, day gear, kill kit and energy snacks. It leaves most of my upper back... -
Archery elk hunting Montana grizzly country
at least you're not going Solo. For me, GRIZZ seems to show up when I DON'T expect them. Just be bear aware in your mindset at all times. -
Pine Valley Help - 0-3?
Agree on the drought effect on Pine Valley unit deer. For the past 3 years, I only applied general archery point. My late winter scouting the last 2 years revealed only a couple of bucks worthy of tagging. When the snow flies in the high country, and you see few deer down low....there's your sign. -
Favorite Mouth Call
outside the mouth elk call: REEL GAME CALLS https://reelgamecalls.com/shop/elk-calls/elk-reel-cow-elk-call/ Best external mouth call that I've ever used. Berry's Sleazy cow call a close 2nd. These 2 cow calls are always with me when elk hunting. called this OTC Colorado bull into bow range on... -
Unit 16a New Mexico archery tag!?!?!
congrats, that is a great tag draw...elk nirvana. Bring along an InReach device for emerg, regular communitcations. Cannot rely on cell only in those areas. Unless family enjoys staying, hanging out at campsite, not much to do in the area without a long drive. Be prepared for weather... -
Archery Elk hunting Solo in grizzly country.
Been in your partner's boots, experienced his mindset. Stick bow hunt, 1985-37 years ago. NW Montana. However I came back to camp, told friend hunting with me that I was leaving and never coming back to NW MT. Having witnessed the charge from 300 yards above me on a ridgeline, He agreed. We... -

Kifaru Stryker XL or 22 Mag Gen 2
for my daypack use and gear carried, love the 22Mag Gen-2. Has the meat shelf option, comes in handy. Carries load close to your torso too. Combined with large pockets and a Sherman pocket, can even carry gear for 1 or 2 nights spike camp out if needed. On my 26" frame, I like how other gear can... -
Lighter pack for High Country Mule Deer
keep the Kifaru....lighten or reduce other gear packed. Had a SG for 2 seasons. Lighter weight yes, but 2 holes worn in fabric within that time. but then it was a SG pack from years ago. My Kifaru Reck, never a problem for 8 seasons now. Tortured that pack with heavy meat loads...my back a... -
How many people are happy running a single kifaru pack for all situations? Which is your go to?
If you are looking for a one pack which, DOES it all, consider what type of hunt you do the MOST. Backcountry 3+ days/nights, day hunts from camp/vehicle etc. Then you can decide which shortcoming about your pack choice you can deal with. Either pack from your list will work, just have to... -

Throwing money away at non-resident draws
I just DON'T TRUST any of these states software systems for drawing tags...especially DIY non-resident applications. Probably better off hiring a hacker to better my odds. -
Dang it, Kifaru Hellbender....
Love my Reckoning. Hoodlum wasn't around when I purchased the Reck. but I don't like the strapped/pressed down bulk of the Reck for use as a daypack. Thus, my purchase of the 22Mag/gen2. Perfect for my day needs. Carries an overnight of gear too; quilt, z-pad, sil-nylon tarp, MSR Reactor. There... -

Jumping Jack Trailers
I see the advantage for the weekend hunter in faster set up, take down. Being retired last 2 years, 90% of my trips are longer, at least a week. This past January 2022, I was out for 20 consecutive days. This was unusual as the AZ plan was for 14 days, but the 2nd rut kicked in big time. So, I...- mavinwa2

Let's Talk About The Good Old Days
back in the 1970's, 1980's >1992. Didn't have much time or $$ available back then. But still managed 1 out of state hunt every other year, in addition to my deer & elk hunts in my resident state every year. what I miss: The EZ availability of tags. Now that I have the time, $$$, can't draw... -
Drone Etiquette
so many drone brands out there. But my DJI drone records video, takes images/pics and it's stored on micro SD card inserted into the drone. the photos are ok, about same as any of today's cell phones, the video is pretty amazing. And in post edit production, those videos can really stand out...- mavinwa2
