The Garmin InReach has worked well enough for me. Definitely like being out of touch for a bit.
However....my business partner's are retiring this year, so I bought a Sat Phone. Right now when I'm incommunicado I've got people back home that can make business level decisions if needed...
Thanks @Jethro for the link and feedback. I think that's the easy way to go for just this trip.
I'll login as a 2nd mobile device on one and do the 7day trial with the other.
Totally Radical idea Buck, thanks the response!
I pay my membership gladly (full price, no coupon I might add!), and use the hell out of it. Don't see a point in buying a $100 membership for my son to use it sparingly for 3-4 days. Either of them get to a point where they'll use it...
I tried the search function. Didn't find much help.
I'm taking my two sons (17 and 14) to CO end of the month for a camping/scouting/hiking trip around 10k.
Want to test out my new basecamp setup, get them hiking at elevation to gauge their willingness to be miserable for future hunts, and...
Update.....Proud owner of a New Polaris Ranger 1000. Went and ran around our whitetail lease some a few weeks back and decided 1 ATV just isn't going to get it done for me AND my two full size teenage boys come hunting season. Needed another Vehicle...
It took 5 days of concentrated effort...
Required to wear an orange hat and vest when hunting with Rifle or ML here in OK. Archers hunting during same season has to have one or the other.
I like it, just so I know direction of another hunter. If I’m shooting a deer across a field on the timberline, I can be 100% sure of my target...
Drew the Big Game Combo General Tag. NR 2 points. I've previously only had Elk tags in CO. Excited for the opportunity to hunt Muley's along with Elk in November.
Every time I've been Elk hunting, I've had multiple Mule Deer Bucks within a 100 yards.
I went to the Kuiu store in Dallas when driving through last week, simply to size myself with much of their different products. That was as I start to accumulate items online and through resale, I know what size to get.
I'm 6'5", range from 245-250 most of the time.
Normally I wear a 38...
Getting very impatient waiting on the Gen II to get the 7PRC out to the market. Been waiting since January for it to release, and now it's released and still unavailable anywhere. This is my 40th birthday present (which was back in February, Lol)
If it takes too much longer, might just pull...
I run a 2017 Polaris 450HO. It did everything i needed it to do last fall, including get up a pretty nuts climb to a 13k peak. First time it's been above 1100' feet, and it performed flawlessly.
I would not have ridden on the back on that climb.....
Absolutely on 4WD. You won't need it...
I’m no expert. But if you currently have a euro. Basically all they’ll use is the antlers and skull plate. Your skull will be gone. No going back to a euro.
Just pick out a nice hide that you feel is right.
First of all, congrats on an Awesome bull! Very unique rack.
I'd start with working with the taxidermist that did a terrible job. Get as much money back as you can.
Then work with a legit taxidermist, choose and purchase a hide that best matches your bull, and have it redone. It'll likely...
I just purchased the 3k on sale. Plan to use it as a scouting pack, and hunting day pack. Figure it'd be large enough for overnight spike camp packing as needed as well.
Just got it in, and I love the overall layout. Don't think I could fit an entire Elk hind quarter in it, but I could...
Tons of great stuff in here. Appreciate the input.
Honestly what I’m most familiar with is Thick Timber, steep slopes, and high elevations. And I don’t necessarily love it. It just happens to be the terrain I’ve spent the most time in.
