    Idaho Temps / September 29th through Ocotber 6th @ 9000 feet

    Thanks for that tip. Yeah it looks like 3 days of snow. I agree about hunting in the snow. Some of my best deer and elk have come during the snow. I just hope that fog doesn't roll in.

    I tried replying to your last PM, but it says your box is full and you cannot receive any new messages until space is cleared. Fyi.

    Idaho Temps / September 29th through Ocotber 6th @ 9000 feet

    Haha. Yeah I realize that. Just didn't know if it was a necessary item to have on you at all times, like in Grizzly Bear country.

    Idaho Temps / September 29th through Ocotber 6th @ 9000 feet

    One more quick question. How important would a pistol be in the Frank for Bears or Wolves? We've got a long hike, and a lot of weight to pack. I'm trying to get rid of every ounce off my pack that I do not need. If I don't need a pistol, I'd rather not pack it with me. Thanks.

    Getting the meat home senario

    Sorry I forgot about this post. These guys pretty much summed it up. But I was taught that bacteria grows best in moist environments, even when it is cold. Keeping food in a refrigerator slows the bacteria growth down, but doesn't stop it. I've personally seen an entire deer go bad sitting in...

    Idaho Temps / September 29th through Ocotber 6th @ 9000 feet

    Thanks for the info guys. Yeah I hope we're ready for it. We've been researching this trip for over a year now. We've both been working out for the last year religiously. I have both of our rifles dialed in. I feel like we're hiking in to a good area. It will be roughly a 9 mile hike from the...

    Idaho Temps / September 29th through Ocotber 6th @ 9000 feet

    Thanks for that. I've never heard that before, but makes sense. Guess I won't be leaving the underquilt at home.

    Idaho Temps / September 29th through Ocotber 6th @ 9000 feet

    Doing the last bit of preparation for my brother and I's Idaho hunt. We'll be flying into the Frank Church Area. Trying to weed out anything that I don't need, to get my pack as lite as possible. So my question is, what do you guys think the temps will be sleeping and hunting at the 9000 foot...

    ATS 65mm eye piece preferences

    You'll like it better than the 60x. The field of view is better, and brighter. The 60x might get you closer, but at 60x it's kind of like looking through a key hole. I rented the 65 ats with the 20-60 eye piece, to try it on a hunt. I did not like it. I looked through a friends with the 25-50...

    Getting the meat home senario

    Block ice and dry ice in the bottom, with a plastic bag between the meat and the ice. I do NOT like to get meat wet if I can help it. The most water I expose any meat to, is a wet rag to wipe off any hair that might get on the meat during the skinning process. I was taught young to never get the...

    Custom long range builds kid friendly

    The 7 SAUM gets my vote. With the 7 SAUM, you get excellent BC bullets. You also get great bullet weight for big game hunting. They make them light enough for fast flat rounds if that's what you're after, and heavy enough for elk. You can push those same bullets damn near 7 mag speeds, with half...

    Tough Scope options. SHV? ATACR? LRHS? Veracity?

    Well here's the update. We drove 6 hours one way to meet up with formidilosus to test the SHV. He was a man of his word. He showed up on time, with a naked rifle, and all the free ammo you could shake a stick at. He bore sighted the rifle with the SHV, and proceeded to put a 1 inch 10 shot group...

    First timer heading to The Frank.

    My little brother and I will be going into the Frank on September 29th, and will be coming out on October 6th. Only 3 weeks left. We'll be flying into Cold Meadows. Been planning this for over a year now. He lives in Idaho, and I live in Arizona. We were looking for a challenging hunt that we...

    Tough Scope options. SHV? ATACR? LRHS? Veracity?

    Got a hold of Form. He was super helpful, and seems like a genuinely good guy. My buddy is either going to go meet him in person with the scope, or mail it to him. Very glad to talk to him. I'll update this once we find something out.

    Tough Scope options. SHV? ATACR? LRHS? Veracity?

    100% aware that vortex has issues. But what they do have, is an A+ no bullshit badass warranty. You drop your binos on a big rock, and break them, bam you get your binos fixed no problem. You fall on your scope while trying to cut off a bull on the first day of your long awaited elk hunt, bam...

    Tough Scope options. SHV? ATACR? LRHS? Veracity?

    I did not know that. I'm pretty cautious with online forum stuff. I've been ripped off too many times. I hope he is as honest as you say he is, and I hope he keeps good on his offer.
