    Idaho Hunting

    One more thing to consider is you will most likely have to drive much further and be away from home longer to get that elk than you do to hunt where you live now.

    Rain pants

    I would look at other mountaineering brands for sure. I don't think camo offers that much of an advantage over earth tones. Kuiu and Sitka are way more expensive than other brands like Outdoor Research and the quality is the same.

    Separate Day for Quads and Hammies

    What is your big picture goal? Your leg workout looks great if bodybuilding is your goal. If you want to be strong carrying a pack through the mountains over several days of hunting, do workouts that mimic how you hunt. For instance 2 days of rucking for strength and endurance followed by a...

    Newly observed phenomena

    The reason we are seeing more of these idiots who think its fun to put everyone else on the road at risk for their own enjoyment, is the same reason we have more shoplifting, vandalism and other similar crimes. People feel entitled to do whatever they want and screw anyone else who it may...

    Rate my FirstAid supplies list

    A lot of you guys sound like experienced combat medics going on your first civilian backpack hunt. I know anything can happen at anytime but backpacking is really not that dangerous.

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Has anyone used Barnes 55gr TSX on medium/big game? What were the results? The factory loads group great out of my rifle.

    Rate my FirstAid supplies list

    I do not know anyone who carries that much 1st aid supplies while backpacking. Have you carried that much stuff before? My guess is if you bring all that and you hike more than a mile from the truck you will cut it down by 90% on your next trip. Keep it simple a few advil tablets, tweezers...

    Garmin Xero A1

    No, I did not difficult to set up. It does take a little longer than a traditional sight but well worth it for my style of hunting. Watch a couple videos on how to do it and it is pretty straight forward.

    A health revolution brewing?

    He makes a good point that there is more to health than just diet. Working conditions is one other large factor. Just like the corporate processed food industry and big pharma do not have our best interests in mind, a lot of employers do not as well. We are not here because we were successful...

    Why use a Mathews stabilizer given the price?

    100% this. These is no way a stabilizer can improve an archers shooting ability as much as manufacturers claim. The prices people are willing to pay for name brand items that will never make a difference is insanity. Somehow people got the idea if they spend a ton of money on something, they...

    Wrist strap?

    I took mine off about 10 years ago. Most people I see still have one. I wonder how many people drop their bows? Seems totally useless to me.

    Generally speaking anytime a company comes out with a "collectors edition" it is rarely what collectors actually want 20+ years later

    Late Onset Solo DIY

    The biggest hurdle to solo hunts for me is the pack out. Especially early season elk. There is only so far you can go in warm temps with an elk. In cold temps not too big of a deal if the terrain is not too bad. Give it a shot and have a plan for the pack out.

    Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

    I support everyone's right to open carry, however you might as well be carrying around a sign that says "shoot me first"

    Should you carry a firearm while bowhunting in Wyoming

    We humans are horrible at identifying risks. Stats only help so much. For everyone who says they thwarted a bear attack and never reported it, there are also those people who saw a bear from a hundred yards away, let their imagination go wild and reported a bear attack. Even bowhunting and...

    How to not die on first trip?

    Relax and have a great trip. Use a little common sense and you will be fine. It sounds like a great trip and you will probably learn a lot. The chance of being attacked by a lion or bit by a snake are very small. Statistically you probably have a higher chance of accidently shooting yourself...

    Road Access

    It really depends on the state. In New Mexico, county commissions can close county roads that run through private property. It can be a huge pain the ass. I have seen roads that have been open for decades closed because a land owner petitions the county commission. Sometimes the land owner is...
