    Thanks for all the input. I will look into the 8mm Resc Tech. Seems the majority is using it

    Saddle set up- new rope diameter?

    9mm was my initial thought, then kind of started wandering into that 7mm territory as well though.... getting pretty thin though

    Saddle set up- new rope diameter?

    I have a Hawk saddle, have used it as it came for a couple years now. I am looking to upgrade my ropes to smaller diameter (to fit better into the pouch I keep them in) the ropes that come with it are really thick and just to much to try to keep managed. What has anybody switched to? I dont want...

    South Dakota Buck

    Just out of curiosity, how did he get this buck? The orange hat and no camo has me assuming rifle, could be a hills any deer but thats a pretty long wait tag. Guess I don’t know what the res season is. Is there any other season open besides archery and hills rifle? Park?

    Elk Parasites

    Sarcocystis. The way it was explained to me is that its in prey animals and when they are consumed by predators its transfers to the predator. Mostly canine. Then dropped in scat, consumed on accident. Rinse lather repeat. Doesn't transfer to humans, but a good freeze is not a bad idea. I was...

    Elk Parasites

    Bull last year had this. I contacted every game biologist I could, within all the states where elk is a hunt able game, independently of each other. A solid deep freeze and a good cook and it’s good to go.

    2022 Rut Report?

    I know it’s a little early, but a guy can’t help but be excited for the hunter Christmas. October lull got me on my last stand. Have some up-ticked activity on licking branches but haven’t seen much else. Anyone seeing anything?

    Idaho 66 7-Day War?

    It was a rough time up there, indeed. Resident or not, gotten to know quite a few groups up there over the last few years. Everyone was saying the same thing. Lot of hunters with minimal critters. That moon and heat didn’t help either.

    Awesome trail cam pictures?

    Looked all around the forum trying to find an existing post, or where to put a new one. Seemed appropriate here. Lets see some of your best trail cam pictures! This is from one of my cameras. Turkey, a collared cow, a bull, and a whitetail buck all in the same picture. Quite the “Snow White”...

    Idaho archery otc

    Have multiple areas you want. If you end up in the que and are number 13,000 your plan A could very easily be gone. And if you don’t know what (zone) or A or B tag is you could find yourself in a situation, and trying to figure it out on the fly in the 15-20 minutes allowed. With checkout. So...

    Hunting from a saddle

    Its about trusting your equipment. Practice your whole set up from one step off the ground. Or your platform, whatever you are using. Slowly lean onto your seat where you can still grab your tree if you get nervous. Sit back in it a hand full of times until you are comfortable with that...

    Hunting: “a dying sport”?

    Some still do haha. But I hear what you are saying. That being said fur prices have been pretty terrible lately too. For predators and such. A lot of the traveling fur buyers haven’t even come around lately. I think there have been alot of good points made here. Decreasing land/people used to...

    Hunting: “a dying sport”?

    That is what I was saying when I started this. I don’t agree that it is dying. Numbers are on the rise everywhere. Just found it interesting people can say it is when there is so much evidence showing the contrary
