    Mid temp sleep system

    So I have a 20 degree bag that is light for backpacking and I have a -30 degree bag that is heavier and bulkier if I am truck camping in the winter. What I'm looking for is a system for about 0 degrees or so for late fall or obviously colder temp hunts. I would like it to be reasonable...

    Should hunting be uncomfortable? -Bringing up young hunters

    Every kid is going to have different interests. I had two step-sons. One was always overdrive on hunting. Any option for shooting something, whether it was targets or animals, he was there. The other one followed along but never had the full interest that the older one did. The oldest one...

    Picking an area to hunt—which unit is best? (Idaho)

    If you're a resident, it feels like you would be able to spend some time doing some on the ground scouting. Leave the "which unit should I hunt?" questions to those of us that have to drive hundreds or thousands of miles to get to a spot that we know nothing about.

    When to quit?

    I don't really understand what the difference is if you are fine with any buck and not worried about it being a "trophy". According to your logic, you would be way happier with a small spike buck rather than a large, adult doe. I don't understand why that makes such a difference to you. Do...

    When to quit?

    Maybe you should be logging your sightings with detailed records. You've already admitted that you didn't realized the success you've actually had until someone pointed it out. Maybe if you actually put it down on paper, you would gain some confidence and help to get out of your own way...

    We are our own worst enemy

    Do you think any non/anti hunter that sees that on the road thinks that it's NOT a hunter?

    Gift ideas for land owner

    Does he have a farm name? You could do a nice sign for his farm. Otherwise, it sounds like you might not have enough insight into his likes and dislikes to give a meaningful gift. Giving him something that he ends up throwing away or just setting on a shelf making more clutter doesn't really...

    "Scout" Services

    I agree that there isn't a huge difference between this and a guided hunt, but I guess that's why I'm not interested in going on a guided hunt. Also, if I got an animal by paying someone for the coordinates, I wouldn't be able to look at the antlers without having a sick feeling in my gut!

    Cheap Stuff that Works

    Maybe I'm missing something, but what makes this water system better than the 5 or 6 gallon square water jugs with a tap that you can buy at Walmart or Cabelas or wherever and then just fill them with your own water from home? It seems like that would be more economical. Like I said, not...

    Waldrop PacSeat

    I got one for last season. It's really comfortable and allows you to draw without much movement. Very light and convenient to get in and out of the woods with. Recommend it for sure!

    I was considering a hunt in the North Slope area this fall. I would be solo coming from Minnesota. What is your opinion on driving a Ford Escape out there? The fuel savings between that and my Ford F350 diesel is considerable. Being solo, I wouldn't need all the extra cargo space. How are...

    Interesting Study on Hikers and Wildlife Impact

    I can see both sides of this. It would be nice to see some others have to help fund some of the resources, but it also feels like if the others have to pay to use it, they might all of a sudden not see the value in having the wild places and start pushing to use the land for playgrounds and...

    3-D shoots

    I was rolling around the idea of taking a backcountry camping somewhere west of Minnesota. Kind of hoping to stay with central Montana and east. Montana, Wyoming, or maybe the Black Hills. I was hoping to incorporate a traditional archery shoot of some kind if possible. Anyone know of...
