    Anything Irish Setter worth trying?

    I have used the Elk Trackers for 2seasons elk hunting. Break in was not to bad, they are a little heavier being all leather. I do treat them at start of season and midway through. My feet stayed dry when my partners Crispi's soaked through. Only issue I have is the area where tongue meets the...

    Bow Sling

    I hunt Northern Idaho, don't get much thicker. Sling is pretty much useless unless your on a trail or old logging road. That being said it's easy to slip off your shoulder and carry as needed when too thick. Yes I try to be careful with the cams short strap and close to my body. Also keep...

    Bow Sling

    Tried a number of different slings over the years including the Primos. Was not happy with any of them. Now if I want a sling I use the nylon shoulder strap from a gym bag with a 4-5 inch loop of cord in the snaps easy to wrap around the limbs when needed. Very small and light to carry when not...

    What’s the best wild game meat?

    Bear meat is all in how you cook it. Can't be fried. Wife did two roasts venison and bear in separate crockpots. We took to her family dinner no one could tell the difference. Got some funny looks after dinner when it was announced one was bear but all admitted they would had never known they...

    Idaho Tag Site Already Crashed

Been hunting Idaho for 30 years. Never had to buy tags before midsummer. Residents complaining about...

    Idaho Tag Site Already Crashed

    They don't really care. Have contacted them before and as long as residents stay somewhat happy and all N/R tags sell out they think life is great

    Best Quiver

    Been using a Tight Spot for last 5 years. Only time it comes off the bow is when bow is packed in case for flight out west each September. Always use to remove my quiver for shooting till I switched to a Tight Spot.

    My experience flying with meat.

    I fly Southwest as 2 bags fly free. Clothes all go in my backpack and bow case on flight out west. Both of these are checked baggage at no additional cost. I also take a small carry-on gym bag.We split the meat from a 4x4 elk so I bought back a Tupperware tub (processed and frozen) of meat and...

    Best Pants Under $100

    I spent 3weeks in the Wrangler pants chasing elk. Love the pants and the price. Couple observations 1) weeds,seeds,sticktights all seem to adhere to the material more so than the high end( first lite, sitka, kuiu) pants 2. ) I have always had problems with pack pushing waist band down so pants...

    Fair Share of Elk?

    We have always split everything equally between the group. Gas, groceries, packing duties, meat. Start out throwing money in the pot to pay for all but personal items and all meat at end of trip divided equal
