    Realistic "super slam" for you?

    That's the way I've always read it, basically just bonus animals according to B&C (or P&Y). They aren't recognized in any current Slam that I know of. Would be some wild hunts though!!

    Realistic "super slam" for you?

    I finished reading the book a few weeks ago and thought it was tremendous. I thought he painted a pretty accurate picture of what it takes to get this done. I found Miranda to be insightful, informative, and pretty humble in his accomplishments, especially considering his accomplishment of...

    Realistic "super slam" for you?

    It's been my dream to hunt the NA29 since I was a kid, and I'm in a position to start getting serious (from a financial/vacation standpoint). I've also dreamed of doing it with archery equipment. Right now, I'm sitting at only 4 of the 29 (elk, mule deer, whitetail, black bear) but my plan...

    Probably the biggest black bear skull of all time

    Makes sense. It does confuse the matter when he states "I own these pictures, I took these pictures and they have never been posted on any California forum."

    Probably the biggest black bear skull of all time

    It does raise some flags when some incredible claims are made with very vague details. I think it's natural for people to be skeptical. Even if folks aren't skeptical, they'll sure be curious when world record type numbers get thrown around and folks will always want more details. I'm...

    AZ Desert Sheep

    I hear ya...just wanted to make sure that it was clear it doesn't just cost $15 to apply for sheep alone. If that's the only species you're going to apply for it's gonna cost you $175, which is why it makes sense to apply for every species in AZ as the incremental costs are so cheap.

    AZ Desert Sheep

    That's not entirely true...you need to pay $150 on a license before you can apply for anything...then each species is only $15. If you're going to apply it makes sense to apply for everything (although you've already missed elk and antelope). If you want to hunt any AZ sheep anytime soon I...

    Golf Range finders for Hunting?

    I play golf and golf with a lot of people that have golfing rangefinders now. I actually use an old hunting range finder for golf. When I have played with the golfing range finders they seem to work exactly like the laser range finders we use for hunting. I wouldn't worry too much about the...

    Whats the biggest spike?

    He looked like a ghost moving through the woods. I thought he'd look awesome as a euro mount but the cape was so unique I decided to get a shoulder mount on him. Definitely was an old warrior.

    Broncos or Seahawks

    I think the Super Bowl was decided when Seattle won homefield. Had San Fran or New Orleans won it I think either of those teams would have been Super Bowl champs too. That being said, Seattle was impressive like they were all year. They truly had an amazing team performance. It starts with...

    Backcountry Pack Weights

    If you used a spreadsheet you'd know haha if someone used just a rifle/bow with only a pair of binoculars, I could see 10 lbs. My weapon usually weighs 6-9 lbs and for optics I have a spotter, tripod, binoculars, and rangefinder. I'm at closer to 15-18 lbs personally.

    Backcountry Pack Weights

    No worries at all! Sorry if it looked like I took it negatively. Just highlighting how it helps me to folks. If I went on multiple trips and had the experience you do, it would be a much less useful tool! Like I said, it also helps to make apples to apples comparisons. It can be flat out...

    Backcountry Pack Weights

    To each his own. I get to do one backpack hunt a year if I'm lucky, so having a spreadsheet also allows me to keep track of the gear I own and the gear I need. It's as much of an equipment management tool as anything else. Decisions I've made about what to include in my pack aren't based off...

    montana unlimited areas

    I don't have any firsthand experience but I know I've seen some good threads on onyourownadventures.com and 24hourcampfire.com on the unlimited sheep units.

    Backcountry Pack Weights

    I try and break down everything I'm carrying into the field on a spreadsheet. I sum up all of the items in a bunch of different categories to get a feel with how my weight is broken down, both in pounds and as a percentage of the total. Here's the current breakdown: Electronics...

    Archery Bear

    Idaho is great but some areas lend themselves to spot and stalk much more than others. I've hunted the northern part of the state a few times (for elk and bear) and some of those conifer forests are so thick it's pretty much impossible to spot and stalk anything. Baiting is the way to go...
