    Your favorite hunting knife?

    Gene Ingram Bird & Trout if I can only have one for the rest of my hunting. That said, I use my Tyto and Outdoor Edge knives more than most everything else normally. They’re just too convenient.

    Does sitka core LW get stinky?

    It can stink after a day or two but everything including merino gets its own musk after a bit. I like to wear a thin 100-120 weight merino tee shirt under my core lightweight hoody. I’ve found that it helps tremendously.

    Do Sitka mountain pants run small/tight?

    I found the 37’s to be a good fit, a little loose with room to layer. The 38’s were way too loose and pretty baggy.

    Anyone successfully eaten Javelina?

    Had some in Mexico, they slow cooked it and made a soup. I forget the name but it was phenomenal and very tender.

    Best 100ish qt cooler for ice retention

    I like the roto molded coolers for everyday use for work, etc. One stays in the truck year round. I have a Yeti and a Grizzly, both work well for me. For hunting, I find as much use in the 100-120 quart Igloo and Coleman coolers I got years ago. You can fit a processed bull elk in one pretty...

    .22 Magnum for deer, moose or bear?

    They don’t call it the poacher’s caliber of choice for no reason. I’ve seen a whitetail killed with a 22 LR. Can’t see why the 22 Mag wouldn’t work well for headshots.

    Less Physical Hunt ??

    You did specifically ask for a less physical hunt. The terrain of Coastal BC, the inside passage of Alaska, and up through the Chugach is some of the roughest country in North America. I couldn’t believe the terrain we had to climb through daily, even at least than 3,000’ elevation. Makes most...

    Goat rifle

    I used my guide’s 30-06 loaded with 180 A-Frames on the last day of my hunt. It dropped the goat in his tracks at 350 yards. I bowhiked up until the last afternoon.

    Less Physical Hunt ??

    Either a horseback hunt in interior Canada or something on Kodiak. Stay away from coastal BC and south central Alaska.

    Wyoming Elk Hunt

    Pretty sure that’s only required if you don’t have the tags for the animals on you. My buddy went to do this for us when he drove out meat and antlers back east. At least in that instance they said we were good to go without them. Doesn’t ever hurt to check for each instance though. Better safe...

    Wyoming Elk Hunt

    No issues packing the rifle. Great point above regarding packing out the meat/antlers. I’d almost want something in writing from Idaho before attempting it. An overzealous game warden might try to make your life hell over something like that. If you do kill, I’d be sure to log coordinates of...

    Mid-day mule deer strategy?

    Depends on the weather and the terrain but I’m either glassing bedding areas or still hunting in the timber or cover. I have had the most luck with still hunting. If you’re hunting with others a little push/nudge through bedding areas can also be productive.

    7mm-08 vs. 6.5 PRC for muleys

    I have three 7mm-08’s (one is AI’d), one 6.5 PRC, and one 6.5 Creedmoor. I’d have no qualms using any of them for mule deer. The 7mm-08 is a fantastic cartridge and would work well with any quality bullet. The 6.5 PRC paired with a 143 ELD-X or similar would also be a great choice. I don’t think...

    Colorado Archery Gunnison

    Good luck and enjoy the hunt. Doesn’t get much better than the Gunnison Basin.

    WY Antelope Unit 080-6 on Irrigated Land???

    Use the Wyoming Game & Fish website to see if there are any landowners enrolled for potential access. You’re very likely going to be limited to private land, as I doubt there is much (if any) irrigated land that is public in that area. Most of the antelope aren’t going to be in what I’d...
