    Idaho Pioneer Zone Cow Elk

    I hunted near 50 last year in late December. I would recommend 51 over 36A. Many of the roads will be snowed in, so unless you have a snowmobile you aren't getting far from a main road. I would also say camping maybe very challenging as last year it was routinely in negative temps for the...

    Headlamp suggestions

    I have 4 of them and they work great. As I seem to always be stating I am kind of rough on gear and these things have been able to handle my not so gentle usage.

    Stove or no?

    Those shelters are floorless so there shouldn't be any issues of carbon monoxide buildup. I say it depends on the weather you are going to be hunting in and how many people will be with you. If it isn't going to be very cold then I would not bring mine. If it was going to be colder and I...

    Weekend Scouting

    So I went to the hunting area this weekend to setup some game cameras and do a wee bit of scouting. Thought I would share a few pics to boost some spirits, I know I was re-invigorated after my outing! I saw a plethora of animals, antelope, elk, and a baby moose. Good news is for those in ID I...

    Packing a long range rifle

    Ok serious question why not just use a sling? I like to always have my rifle ready when rifle hunting so I never strap it in to anything, just sling it around my neck and go.

    Sand bags to simulate weight in pack?

    I use a sandbag. As mentioned to get it to carry well you should wrap it up in duct tap to give it a more solid form so it won't all drop down to the bottom of your bag. I take my air mattress and rain gear and put them in the bottom of the pack and then put the bag on top of them to raise it...

    First CA Deer Hunt

    Welcome to hunting! I 2nd what was stated above, pick a spot you are willing to travel to frequently. Yet I would also say pick one that others would be less likely to travel to. If you are brand new to hunting I would recommend rifle over archery, based on your handle I am quite certain...

    Best Type & Place for Horse Purchase

    That is good information, thank you. The $10K was most likely and that was to be for 2 not 1, I should have been clearer on that.

    Best Type & Place for Horse Purchase

    So my sister just moved up to ID from AZ. She is an experienced horseman and will be purchasing some horses in the near future. I have taken it upon myself, as a loving and caring brother, to help her in this process to ensure her horses have "utilitarian" value. By which I mean hauling elk...

    Tow vehicle question

    I recently went through this same delima myself. I reached out to my friends who ranch and farm for a living and they all steered me to Diesel 2500 4x4. I did put airbags in the rear and they do help. Overall I tow this pig all over ID, MT, WY, OR, and WA and have no issues. One thing that...

    Hammocks

    I have played around with hammocks before but never really took one out on a trip. After my hunt last season I may try to get more up to speed on them for this upcoming year. I had a heck of a time finding flat open spots to camp, in all my travels I found 3 suitable sites for the TUT and none...

    Looking at new rifle, one wife can use too.

    Can also look at the Ruger American rifles. Well made, 3 lug bolt, and very accurate.

    Diy shelter question

    I would recommend Cuben Fiber. It is 1.0z and MUCH stronger and lighter than Silpoly or silnylon. Aside from being more $$$ I am not sure how they react to heat via a stove jack.

    Reveiw: Swarovski Z6 2.5-15x44 BT, By Matt Cashell

    Do they offer this in MIL/MIL reticle and turrets instead of MOA?
