    Idaho spring bear info

    Thanks for all the tips! I was busy with some other items and hadn't logged in for a while. I am probably not taking my truck now. None of my hunting buddies wanted to go to Idaho for bear so the girlfriend is going (she didn't want me to go alone on my first trip and I didn't want to pay an...

    good to know! I was a bit worried since these cots are close to 10" longer and a bit wider than most other cots.

    8 man tipi question

    has anyone used the cabelas 2XL disc o bed cots in a tipi? they are 87.5"L x 45"W. Just wondering if two of these would fit with a stove in an 8 man (SO or Kifaru) or if they would be too large. Got a set a couple years ago for Christmas when I was going to buy a wall tent, but after reading...

    Need help deciding on which scope for Idaho hunt

    I was going to take my compact 7mm-08 a-bolt for a spring bear hunt but have decided to take my full size 338 win mag m77 mkII. The Ruger is currently wearing a vari-X III 3.5-10 x 40 with a target turret (factory option). I have two higher magnification scopes I could put on it before the hunt...

    Are paper maps a dying breed??

    Those sound similar to the map books I bought last year from sportsmans connection maps. I have one of their fishing maps as well. Really nice books to have for your state if they offer them. They don't have any western states yet though, but many more state options now than they had when I...

    How much are you reasonably willing to spend on hunting each year?

    $3K or so most years but I it will likely go up now that I have enough vacation time and extra money to hunt the western states!

    Are paper maps a dying breed??

    Here in the Midwest there are map books available to cover large areas. I keep these in my truck all the time, they are very handy. I love paper maps. You can print maps from USGS but it takes a bit of time to do. (zoom, print, tape together etc.) https://viewer.nationalmap.gov/advanced-viewer/...

    Idaho spring bear info

    I will PM you soon. Apparently there is a minimum number of posts I need to have before I can send messages... Been lurking on here for a while and finally joined last year but never had anything useful to add to any conversations so I don't post much!

    Idaho spring bear info

    Looking for some help to identify a couple of units that would be good for a 5-6 day spot and stalk hunt this spring (probably Memorial day - early June timeframe) so I can contact the area biologist, FW&G warden and order some topo maps of the areas. I am hoping to use my bow but will also...

    Bear Hunting Books

    Richard p. Smith black bear hunting vol.2. I got it from the library instead of buying. A good read from a guy that has hunted bear all over the place.
