    iPhone satellite messaging thread, iOS 18

    I had success with both android and iPhone comms. Was way faster than my inreach, so I sold that after the trip. The battery suck is real, but can be managed if you know it’s coming and only use it for check in comms or here I am messages. If you’re trying to use it to jabber all day, put yer...

    Backpacking tent for me and 2 kids?

    I second the SO Cimarron. Got it for a late season hunt with the stove and have now used it quite a bit with fam both backpacking and car camping. It’s small/light enough that backpacking with it isn’t terrible and roomy enough that we use it car camping. 3year old and 8 month old, so there’s a...

    Rain Gear

    Everything is a trade off of breathability to waterproofing. I find I like an OR jacket that has pit zips running all the way down the torso. For rain pants, I go low tech and wear Frog Toggs. I’m enormously happy for the price and just as dry/wet as my friends with fancy brand rain pants. The...

    Winter Elk Feeding in WY?

    Saw this article posted today and was curious what folks think, especially in WY. I'm in eastern ID and am always jealous of the opportunity/amount of tags WY residents can have, but defiantly don't want CWD to become prevalent. I've also heard that Idaho Fish and Game manages the Palisades...

    Can a newbie even tell?

    I ran diamondbacks for two years then stepped up to maven c.2’s. It was a great upgrade and doesn’t break the bank as much as the b series will. I looked through b.2’s and couldn’t really tell the difference so figured I’d save some money for now.

    Southeast Idaho concerns

    So, it's been a long, cold winter here in eastern idaho (I'm on the border between SE and upper snake) but the Idaho mule deer general season isn't exactly easy to begin with. I would agree to put in for some controlled hunts. For better or worse there's been a lot of snow everywhere in the...

    Idaho 2023-2024 Seasons Proposals

    No to points. As someone who took up hunting as an adult, drawing a good controlled unit with high success rates allowed me a better chance to harvest. And because I harvested, I’m still hunting. Looking around at other states outside Idaho, I’m so far behind it’s not worth buying into points...

    10 post rule?

    I mean, I'm just here for the classifieds, kind of. Seems like the 10 post rule could be a way to get in faster but if you're posting every so often a few weeks should get you full permissions. Otherwise, I'm just spraying posts since I'm a new hunter and don't know anything...

    does anyone only carry 1 knife for hunting

    The Havalon Barracuta has worked great for me on the last two elk. Usually carry 2 straight blades and a saw blade. The full size handle makes it secure when things get slippery. I work for a knife company that makes both pocket and fixed blades. I bring those knives as backup but they stay in...

    Palisades Idaho- scouting trip weather question

    I live in that unit, and yeah we’re getting pretty good snow right now. By end of may you’ll be able to get around on south facing ridges/faces for hiking. Might not have all roads open/but probably. The tricky part is the deer will be hitting the green up on south and west facing slopes that...

    Monopod vs. tripod - how much better

    Thanks all for the awesome feedback. I'll take a look at some of the tripods I've had my eyes on this winter. Hard to stomach the weight penalty, but then again, I could train more...
