    Bipod, tripod, or pack

    I added a tripod to the arsenal this gear season. Had a really awkward shot on the mule deer I tagged last season where I was prone and sitting on a downward slope. I ended up having my bipod resting on my pack and was able to make a good enough position for a 300y shot but It would have been a...

    Stop it. We don't need this anymore.

    I think we are actually agreeing with each other in a complex way. It’s definitely easier. I don’t necessarily think being pissed at someone like Randy is a reasonable response. Being mad that it’s easier now than it used to be just seems to be a silly way to live your life. Figure it out. Or…...

    Any experiance with a 16" .204 Ruger?

    I would really appreciate it if you would try this out. I have a RAR 204 and I really want a shorter barrel on it just for portability's sake but I am also wary to mess with a good thing. It's a great shooting rifle. For me in the wind I don't find I'm shooting more than about 300 yards...

    The Angry Bowhunter

    I do enjoy the Why Your Bow Sucks page ala Deadspin. That was good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Too much money to argue

    The safest bet is to hunt from relatively secure accesses. IE state roads or highways near obviously public big chunks of NF etc. These problems seem to crop more on the fringes, trying to find a sweet little access or interesting small parcel. Not always the case, but more often than not. If...

    Sitka Kelvin Down WS Jacket

    Nope. You'll have room in the WS for another person. I have a handful of other Sitka jackets including an aerolite and kelvin lite all are XL. I have the Kelvin down Ws in Large and it is perfectly fine with a heavyweight layer and my aerolite under it. It's practically sized up on its own...

    Anybody rucking?

    It’s a different type of fit and a different impact on the body. I have a GR3 which I wear basically every time we walk the kid to the park. 2-3 times a week, 3-5 miles. Almost always a 30lb plate. Mine has a waist belt but it doesn’t carry much load, just stabilizes. I find that I get a lot...

    Understanding WY nonresident elk application/zones?

    Also try this link for the WY app. It works great on mobile. https://wgfd.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=9d3be55d5cc74afe837f1e510cbc04be Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Understanding WY nonresident elk application/zones?

    I was thinking font and color and maybe adding line breaks every once and a while. Just to make things easier on the eye. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Understanding WY nonresident elk application/zones?

    It would be very handy if they updated the draw statistics formatting. It’s such a pain to read. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wolf experts: Colorado officials should 'urgently' address recent wolf kills of livestock

    How do we get the wolves to selectively target the sheep? We could improve the elk hunting experience in NWish CO a hundred fold. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Stop it. We don't need this anymore.

    I find it mildly disappointing that the general gist of the complaints in this thread are “It was hard for me to figure out and I’m mad the barrier of entry in my hobby isn’t higher.” Western hunting is hard. We don’t need this gatekeeping crap too. The “hand holding” and “too easy” argument...

    Boot Gaiter Question

    OR will replace almost anything except tears in the fabric. Buckles straps stitching all that is game. I’ve had a zipper on a puffy, gaiter strap that came unstitched and a soft shell that delaminated (about 7 years old) all replaced by them. It is a solid warranty overall. I’ve been looking...

    143 Grain ELD-X: Yay or Nay

    I've been extremely pleased with them on antelope. The explosive nature seems to induce a lot of shock and none of the 4 I've shot with the x went very far. Similar results on a small muley and cow elk, although I'm planning something with a bit more penetration for elk hunts going forward.

    Travel kennel for a Griff

    Also for you SUV guys out there, friends of ours use the Ruffland Large with the slant back in their runner to maximize space. Works fantastic. We've got three Rufflands in various sized, would buy another tomorrow without hesitation.

    What to you is "WILDERNESS".......???

    This is a joke. Thought I should preface. As a Wyoming resident... "Members Only" comes to mind.

    Preferred Hunting Rig

    Put me on the Power Wagon list. I'll never own a 1/2 ton or a truck without front and rear lockers ever again. Just doesn't make sense. Used to have a 3rd gen 4runner. Great for fishing, but fitting 200qts of coolers is... problematic.
