    Drone Etiquette

    ok...love my drone! However, there are regulations & rules, ethics and courtesy, just like anything else. My drone is a fantastic OFF SEASON scouting tool. Especially in the desert hunting landscapes, public BLM lands and such. I think of it as a real time GoogleEarth, as if I control the...

    Dang it, Kifaru Hellbender....

    Was wondering about this possibility with the extra length panel>pack of the Stryker series. Can only snug those large buckles down so much. Passing on HB, keep my 22MagG2

    Dang it, Kifaru Hellbender....

    Find a frame and enjoy. Used so many packs over the years. Wish I had the Kifaru packs of today some 35 years ago...packing out meat would have been better with these 22Mag/Reckoning packs.

    Dang it, Kifaru Hellbender....

    maybe I'm advertising...maybe an addiction. He-he. Seriously, like the Stryker designs and now Kifaru adds Hellbender sizing. This HB & options seems to get as close to One-Pack-Does-All for hunting situations. But I've got the packs needed for my hunt/fish situations. Just thought to post as...

    Kifaru Reckoning Pouches

    I added a Sherman pocket. Carries my 15x56mm Swaros, or other items. To go with my 2 lg pouches, 1 med pouch. Image is of my 22MagG2 w/Sherman attached. I like the ability to switch over my various pockets, accessories over to my Reckoning for those 3+ day backcountry hunts.

    Non-resident elk hunters breaking point.

    to Velvetfvr's point: "Lastly, that's where application services like gohunt and epic outdoors are critical. I think the hunter that starts planning out his points/ hunts 5 to 10 years in advance, studies the draw systems of each state, watches the draw and app trends will be able to secure...

    Solo Elk Hunting in Grizzly Country

    I can't imagine hunting backcountry solo for elk with Grizz around. Especially if you get an elk down. Done it with partners. Experience with Grizz on elk carcass/meat cache 2x in WY, and black bear in CO. Roll of the dice, chances of encounter are just that. Back in 1988, was archery hunting...

    Good news for Ebiker users on public land.

    Over the years, several People/hunters that I've observed are largely unprepared for the back country. An E-bike getting those types in another 5+ miles will just result in more forest service, volunteer rescues. The further back country you go, more risk is taken, more crap can happen. Few are...
