    Want to try Backcountry hunting. I live in Illinois and have no clue where to start

    I live in IL and started doing this about 6 years ago. Shoot me a PM and I'd be happy to connect over the phone and answer whatever questions you have.

    Has Anybody Else Noticed a Scarcity of Hunting Videos on YouTube Lately?

    This is the kind of thing I'm worried about spreading through other states, with the same net effect and goal in mind. IF YT is censoring hunting content, there is a reason behind it, and likely a calculated one. They along with other groups will fund political candidates and bills that will...

    Has Anybody Else Noticed a Scarcity of Hunting Videos on YouTube Lately?

    You’re making my point there. I agree with everything you said. A lot of people make the argument that YouTube can shut down/demonetize whoever they like and that’s fine with them because capitalism. “Don’t like it? Start your own X, Y, Z.” As though any well funded group can go out and...

    Has Anybody Else Noticed a Scarcity of Hunting Videos on YouTube Lately?

    Hahaha, sure they can. Just ask the folks at Parlor how that went for them.

    Has Anybody Else Noticed a Scarcity of Hunting Videos on YouTube Lately?

    Yeesh. I didn't realize that happened. So that may explain why he has been MIA. Cool comment. Quick clarification on an incorrect conclusion you just jumped to: that I haven't noticed the general trend of social media companies censoring content they disagree with. I'd have to have been...

    Has Anybody Else Noticed a Scarcity of Hunting Videos on YouTube Lately?

    I've noticed this over the last month or 2. I know Gritty in August was talking about releasing hunting videos leading up to and through the hunting season this year, every Sunday. His last one was over a month ago, which is not typical. I've noticed a reduction of hunting videos from almost...

    All Night Stove

    Anybody have any experience with one of these, or something similar? Seems like it would be a great truck camping solution for that elusive all night stove burn. It does weigh 100 lbs, but that’s not too much more than some steel wood burning stoves I’ve camped with. And I’d like to know if...

    Garmin Montana 700i

    Sorry, I am not familiar with the 62 so can't compare it.

    Garmin Montana 700i

    I got the 66i last season and returned it. I thought it was pretty terrible actually, but maybe I just wasn't working all the features. About all I would be using it for is breadcrumb trails for tracking how to get back to a location or camp at night. For what it cost, I thought it wasn't...

    Grizzly bear attack in Montana

    Anybody know what the protocol is as far as the aftermath of shooting a grizzly? I am assuming there would be an investigation done to make sure you did it under threat of life/limb, etc., and am assuming your hunt would be over at that point. But would you be able to travel back home in a day...

    Montana Alternates List Changes

    I was just told by a rep at Montana FWP that they had only 200 elk combos returned last year. That seems awfully low. Does anybody know if this is about right? I'm thinking I may need to check back with somebody else there on that...

    Montana Alternates List Changes

    Would a fella at 430 out of 854 stand a good shot at getting pulled for the elk combo? Wondering if one pool tends to get more returns than another (ie deer combo vs elk combo vs big game combo)

    Outfitting An ATV For The Rocky Mountains, By Chas Carmichael

    Nice article, Chas! I'd love to take an ATV or SxS more often, but the biggest gripe I have with them is how loud they are. Do you know of any aftermarket parts, or mods, that are effective in quieting these machines down? I've seen some that claim to knock several decibels from the exhaust...

    Winnerwell Fastfold Titanium Stove

    Just got this today and did the first burn in on it. I did not notice much warping. Just a little on the top piece, but nothing that will affect it’s use. The main reason I got it for has checked out. It sets up real fast. The whole box assembly is together in less than 60 seconds. I am coming...

    12x Binoculars: The Perfect Optic For Western Hunting, By Jake Potter

    I switched over to 12s from 10s last year and one of the bigger concerns for me was how much shakier the 12s would be when hand holding. Many times, especially in archery season, it's just necessary to throw them up to your eyes to check something out. So, I went to a cabelas with my 10s, and...

    Trouble With Toprut?

    Update: My download emails just came in. Longer than they have ever taken in the past, but at least they got here. If anybody else is noticing much longer wait times for these, I'd give it a day or 2, as that seems to be how long mine took (they used to take a minute or 2). It still would...

    Trouble With Toprut?

    I was able to get Toprut’s emails with download links for their Google Earth unit overlays as recently a few days ago. But for some reason, they aren’t being sent any more. Tried several different units - nothing. Anybody know a workaround for this, or maybe another place I can find GE overlays...

    Incline Trainer

    I just got one and have been using it for almost 2 months now. I've mainly just used the incline feature with a weighted pack, although the iFit does offer quite a variety of runs/hikes/walks. Let me know any specific questions you have.
