    hearing protection with a brake? unique situation

    I’m pretty sure I will be taking my walker razors on my deer and pronghorn hunts this year. I’m mentoring a new hunter and don’t want to chance them touching one off before I’m ready to go. I’ve been wearing them for coyote and upland hunting for a few years and I’ve gotten quite used to them...

    Canning wild meat

    You guys are cubing the raw meat right? Does cube size impact results? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rattling for elk

    I’ve sat in RMNP and watched them fight a fair bit and it definitely makes a different noise than white tails rattling you hear the grunting and scuffing more than the antlers. Not sure if that matters or not. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced them vocalizing and fighting at the same time...

    Clothing?

    And horrible coffee. Perhaps the worst coffee. This is coming from someone who regularly says “There’s no such thing as a bad cup of coffee.” Badlands are cool though. Highly recommend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    CO fires

    Usually if RMACC posts about the initial attack and then not much more it either didn’t require much of a fight or it was a short burn from lightning etc. I checked the MODIS data on the SAFER page the first few days and there was no discernible growth, and a day or two after that it no longer...

    Garmin Inreach question

    I agree. You do have an inReach number six you can go device to device. If you send someone a message to their SMS number they can then reply to that. It isn’t a unique phone number but the messages always come back. It’s a pretty interesting system. All my presets also send to an email I set up...

    Garmin Inreach question

    You can turn that on and off. My wife posted a screenshot of a map share on Facebook when I told her I had an elk down... wasn’t pumped about it. Thankfully it was indistinguishable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lightweight bivy

    Would you say the Sol work work on a tarp setup where my new tarp may have been accidentally ordered a smidge too short (no idea who did that) and I’m getting some splashing etc on the foot of my bag? I was looking at the OR helium but would love something simpler. Sent from my iPhone using...

    First solo hunt, any advice?

    I think taking my time is the biggest difference when I hunt solo. I find I’m methodical and really take the time to analyze my moves. I also tend to still hunt much more and I might not kill more elk, but I do sometimes see more as a side effect of my lessened pace. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Area 72 WY

    When you think you might be in an area without roads a pickup truck will appear from nowhere. I couldn’t find a way to determine which roads were and were not legal and that frustrated the hell out of me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bad day

    800ml of coffee a day being considered moderate makes me feel much better about myself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Quartering question

    It sounds really complicated for not that much gain. However I really hope you do it because I also think it sounds fascinating and I’d love to see your results. My biggest concern would be handling that piece of meat/bone with all the jagged pieces of bone sticking out. Could be a pain. Sent...

    Weather without Service (OnX offline)

    My wife sends me a message on the inReach if the DarkSky alerts I setup for my hunt area indicate a severe storm. It helped me brace for a really nasty snow storm in early October a few years ago on two hours notice. Doesn’t always work out, but when it does it’s awesome. Sent from my iPhone...

    Last time I did that when I gone to the pond it was overrun by sheep. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2020 Upland Season

    I’ve been thinking about a new 20ga for this year. Anyone have any experience with the CZ 1012? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    POLITICS!

    It was chilly here this morning too. All I could thing was “why am I going to work right now?” First trip is in 9 days. I’m gonna go repack my gear again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    CO fires

    Why not one more. Hopefully the smoke jumpers get a handle on this one. They have elevation to their advantage. It appears to be on the divide above the Encampment headwaters. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
