    Bad day in Idaho panhandle

    Feel the same way. F&G and all the stats keep saying hunter recruitment is way down, its a dying breed. But man my eyeballs sure witness a different story.

    Real life backcountry food safety with bears??

    Thanks everyone, this is a backpack in ultralight trip, so don’t want to bring a canister. Food will be with me in backpack during the day, not in the tent or at camp. More just worried about at night. I think I’ll just keep it in tent with me and the rifle, unless there is a very convenient...

    Real life backcountry food safety with bears??

    Hey all Doing my first solo backpack elk trip next week, into a central ID unit that is grizz free. What it lacks in brown though, reports say it makes up for in black. Some of the highest black bear numbers in state per many reports. I’ll be at 6-8k feet for two weeks, spiking out of a base...

    Budget/free map printing options?

    I’m doing a hunt in a few weeks into a new area. I’ve got smartphone with onX, and an older gps I mark simple waypoints on for truck, camp etc... I’d like to bring a compass and map for backup to these methods. I’m just not sure the best method anymore for buying maps or printing out maps...

    Bivy sack in the wintry gun season

    Makes me feel a lot better reading this. I’m doing a rifle elk hunt in a few weeks where snow and cold temps should be expected. I’m doing it out of a two person ultralight backpacking tent. I’ve been feeling like I need a tipi with a stove like all the cool kids. But if dudes can bury...

    Speeding up the reloading process? Powder measuring?

    I don’t understand why people want to rush through reloading. I like the single minded focus it takes, and don’t mind spending hours doing it. To each their own.

    WTB Sub $300 Rangefinder

    Looking to purchase a better quality 6x rangefinder for an upcoming ID rifle elk hunt. My current archery RF doesn’t consistently range out to 500+. Would prefer something from Vortex, Leupold, Sig etc, hopefully around a 1500-1800 series rangefinder. I’m looking for the right deal, hoping to...

    First time buying a new bow in 14 years (VXR 31.5)

    Wow someone who keeps gear as long as I do! I thought everyone these days buys all new gear every year. I’m still shooting my 2004 Hoyt, but definitely been getting itch to join the modern world.

    Iron Will entry/exit & blood trails

    I have been shooting “commercially” made broad heads from major manufacturers for years, slick tricks, nap thunderheads, g5 montecs etc. all these years I’ve never found one I felt was scary sharp. I talked with a guy at the range I shoot at this year shooting grizzlystik samurais. It was...

    7mm hand load.

    Shooting 168 Bergers with 69.4 of H1000. Still fine tuning a couple little things, but around 69 gns of H1000 seems to be a consistently popular load for the 7.

    Bow Blows up as I release on Monster 5x5

    I had a similar thing happen two years ago. Drew back on a cow, released. Horrible noise and shock, shrapnel flying everywhere. Took me several hours and a trip to shop to have strings put back on cams to realize I’d sucked a cow call on a lanyard into the string. Horrible luck. Just when...

    WTB Be The Decoy Black Betty Hat

    I had no idea this was now a thing. I know similar products exist in turkey and waterfowling, but this is a new one. I’d imagine one could be reasonably safe if this were only used in an archery season, so I get it. But you have to admit, to the non hunting public who reads an article next...

    Help me decide on Tarptent Double Rainbow

    Thanks for the feedback. I have tried to knock a few bucks off. Will keep looking for a 2p Copper spur or similar in the meantime. I missed out on a good deal for one last week.

    Help me decide on Tarptent Double Rainbow

    yes you are correct. I got confused by that post and actually went back and verified. Yes I am talking the silnylon version, factory sealed, and with the add in condensation liner.

    Help me decide on Tarptent Double Rainbow

    I have been in the market for a lightweight backpacking tent for last month or so, but have been looking mostly at options from REI, Marmot, and Big Agnes. Tents like the 2P Copper Spur and Fly Creek. I am doing a backpack hunt end of October where some snow is a good possibility, but for the...
