    Translating aerial imagery to real life w/little western experience!

    I've been hoping to get a tag to hunt antelope out west next year and have spent a bit of time looking at different units, deciphering regs/PP/tags/draw odds, etc. I've spent some time, planning around in Google maps, trying to get a picture of the landscape and am often surprised if I'm given...

    USB-C Cell Phone Charger/Charger Compatibility

    Just be careful you don't buy a wall block that has a USB-C hole in it... you still need the good ol' USB (or you gotta buy cables with USB-C on both ends. Or you could get one with both I guess...

    What animals could you beat in a fight?

    If I put them in their habitat... Crocodile in water Zero chance Goose on the water Chances reduced big time - it'll drown you. A little less than 10% of Americans polled think they could beat a lion? I'm looking for tips... The question didn't ask if you were simply attacked - and thus...

    Antelope Adventure: 4 Tags, 4 Bucks.

    Congrats! As a newbie (pre-newbie, never done this yet), I'm wondering 'what do you mean, the SD GF&P called you? It's like they know you on a personal basis. I've heard this elsewhere in other threads, too. Is it that a tag becomes available and to ensure its use, they call people down a...

    Choosing a basic, low cost, gun safe. Recommendations.

    I'm looking for a first gun safe. We have a small home with not much room. I have maybe five or six long guns at the moment and a half dozen handguns. Primarily, I need a gun safe for these reasons, possibly in order of importance to me: 1. Just keeping guns inaccessible to my kids or their...

    Inexpensive frame pack options?

    I don't have one yet. I'm looking to buy a new rifle, rifle scope, and possibly a spotting scope. There are a lot of various things I'll be looking to acquire as well (clothing, camping items, etc.) and a pack is one of those things. I am not familiar with what makes an Alice pack and Alice...

    Inexpensive frame pack options?

    Being an east-cost whitetail hunter looking to go on his first Western hunt - probably for antelope - I'm not equipped with some of the gear required to home to the west. I also can't afford to go all out with new, high-end gear. Hence, I was considering looking for a used frame backpack that...

    Found Binoculars

    Years ago, I left a pair of Pentax 10x50s at a lookout in Palo Duro canyon near Amarillo. I had volunteered to take an elderly couple's photo and when they offered to return the favor, I took off my binoculars. Afterward, I drove off and out of the park. 45 minutes later, I stopped and reached...

    Why are 10 year old threads being resurrected?

    People are always encouraged to search before posting. (This forum is the first I've used which suggests threads based on your proposed thread title which is cool.) If I find a thread (here or elsewhere), and it's old, I hesitate to post, but heck, if it's on the very subject, then why not I...

    Sell camera to find gear? I think I'd miss it!

    I've had an SLR/DSLR since the mid-90s. I take a ton of images. I probably have a TB or more in hard drive. I often shoot in RAW and edit in Lightroom. I don't do it as much anymore bc it's cumbersome and I've got a phone. Recently, I considered selling it all to purchase gear: a spotting...

    Putting old photos and slides to digital

    I, too, have a shit ton of images, mostly family, though, that is like scanned. I've done some myself but it's tedious. I've looked at a few online sites and their reviews. One thing that struck me is some get sent overseas. If like to know the quality will be high. Legacy box might have been...

    Jumping ship from OnX to Gaia

    I've downloaded the land ownership layer for local countries from the county GIS/tax site as a shapefile and imported it into Google Earth. You'd need to update it to keep it current.

    Is there a reason to choose OnX over Basemap? Other Qs about Basemap. BMAs?

    I like Basemap over OnX due to its lower price - if all else is the same or close - which is what I've read in places. Are there any glaring omissions in either one if compared to the other that you'd want to mention? I have no experience with either other than just having tapping around with...

    Wyoming Corner Crossing defense fund

    I have not been out west yet so I haven't seen this in person yet. If it's truly corner-to-corner, a simple step should get you from public to public, right? Obviously, I'm missing something (everything). I'm guessing you have to get out the way you came and enter the other piece of public from...

    Who would you hunt with?

    Daniel Boone must have been someone to hunt with. I like the Proenneke suggestion. I love that show. Crazy that he took so much time to document what he did with Super 8 or whatever. Yes, Davey Crockett, too.
