    The Mountain Project - Season 5

    I really enjoy their videos. The north country trips are motivation enough to start saving for a sheep hunt! I like the balance of epic trips and day hunts they mix in through the season and the fact that they have real jobs makes it way more relatable. If I just want to watch something get shot...

    Goodwill! I really like Kryptek but I the KUIU stuff I have fits me well and has a great cost/performance ratio

    Dall shot distance

    I have zero experience sheep hunting but if you can find somewhere to practice shots at really steep angles it may prove to be helpful.

    Wyoming Region H Griz Questions

    I have the points (hopefully) to draw a region H this year if I go solo or maybe share points with a buddy next year if point creep doesn't get to crazy. My main question right now is how are the grizzly populations/densities in certain areas (I realize it varies widely throughout the region)...

    Moral Dilema

    We (my wife and I) are currently saving for a down payment on our first house but still putting aside a little bit every month for a sheep hunt (for me) and a hunt for her (maybe moose). The plan is to buy a house and get it payed off in 10 years or so (we are currently in our mid-twenties)...

    Moral Dilema

    I don't know what your mortgage is a month but if you could pay that SOB off and stick that same amount of cash in a sheep account you could probably go every other year...

    Don't believe everything you see in Instagram etc(poaching)

    Laws are laws and we need to follow them. I'm not saying I've never broken any laws in my life but it seems like the longer I'm around (which really hasn't been that long) the less I'm tempted. If you've hunted whitetails in the eastern US for any length of time you have probably been tempted to...

    What’s Your Someday

    Probably a north country hunt. Hopefully I will be in a place one day that I hunts like that will be something I can do with my wife and/or kids on the regular but for now I'll keep saving here and there to make it happen once! And just an FYI for you guys hating on ol' Dave, yes he is a...

    Trophy whitetail judging

    Good advice! I will say I’ve had a few instances where I had the reaction described above when I saw tines of a young deer with a great frame but when I got to it I was amazed by the ground shrinkage!

    Trophy whitetail judging

    I am no expert by any stretch but what has help me is to have a few bench marks a buck has to meet. #1 is age so I look for a big neck that blend into his chest. This is always where I look first because it gives me a better idea of the bucks body size which helps judge the rack. The next items...

    What treestands

    Lone wolf alpha for me 90% of the time. I’ve got an old man climber I’ll use some during rifle season if I don’t have to carry it far!

    Wyoming info

    Thanks guys! This exactly the kind of info I wanted. Looks like an ATV, sharp saw, and patience will be key to this hunt!

    Wyoming info

    I guess another question is would it be helpful to have an ATV in this unit or is most of the area that is ATV accessible also accessible by 4x4 vehicle?

    Wyoming info

    As stated above I drew a Wyoming cow elk tag for this year. This will be my first elk hunt and first hunt in this area so I naturally have a few questions. I definitely plan on being out the first week of rifle in early October but may make a separate trip over Labor day to scout/bow hunt if...
