    Some favorite .280 loads?

    I'd be interested in hearing about some of your accurate fast loads for the .280. I'm planning a sheep hunt and have been loading up some 140 gr accubonds. I found the RL19 to be a bit disappointing. The velocity is about 200 fps under what the book says it should be. At 57 grains accuracy isn't...

    Trekking poles; gimmick or gear?

    I'm a bowhunter. How do you deal with poles and a bow? And don't tell me to strap the bow onto my backpack because things happen quick and I haven't seen anyone yet who has successfully harvested an elk with a trekking pole. Sent from my moto g(7) supra using Tapatalk

    Rookie sheep hunter here

    I also drew a tag in Idaho. From the Idaho Wild Sheep Foundation I learned that the F & G head sheep biologist is Holly Miasaki. Sent from my moto g(7) supra using Tapatalk

    Shiras Moose Packout vs Elk

    From my experience a shiras bull has quite a bit more meat than a bull elk. Sent from my moto g(7) supra using Tapatalk

    GPS vs OnX

    You're going to want your phone anyway in most circumstances. Less charging cords, weight, etc. to just take the phone. That's my reasoning on it. Sent from my moto g(7) supra using Tapatalk

    Trekking poles; gimmick or gear?

    Looks like I need to try them. FWIW I have hunted 25 without them so I guess I don't know what I'm missing out on. I have helped backpack plenty of elk out of the mountains of Idaho over that time (not all mine, mind you) and I thought you were supposed to break your fall with your bow? Sent...

    Hall of shame - gear version

    Henry lever action .17 HMR. I thought it must be me at first but it would not group shots. I sent it in and it came back, no difference. I sold it back to the gun shop and bought a cheap Savage bolt action. It immediately restored my shattered confidence in my shooting abilities. Sent from my...

    Trekking poles; gimmick or gear?

    One of the advertised selling points of trekking poles that gives me pause is this statement: Burn 40 percent more calories! From a hunting standpoint how can that be a benefit? But I have heard good things as well. I'd like to hear from those of you who have tried them and liked them as well as...

    help me select components & weights

    I'm going with option #3, maybe because that is very close to what I have been using for quite a while.

    New to Archery

    The one thing I would add is don't get caught up in the hype of having to have all the latest and greatest gear. You can hunt and kill animals with a 10 year old bow, in cotton clothing, sneakers on your feet, without a single gps, fancy mapping app, or $200 backpack. It's been done countless...

    1st Bow

    You can't go wrong with any of those manufacturers, although I would pass on Oneida for a beginning bow. They are out of the mainstream and I'd shoot a more mainline bow before the Oneida. I have a Bowtech Carbon Knight and they are a great bow for the price. I would also avoid the speed bows as...

    Idaho bitterroot sheep hunt

    I'm looking for any information on Bighorn Sheep in the Bitterroot mountains of Idaho and Montana. I may or may not have drawn an Idaho sheep tag for unit 17L. :D It's not a highly desired unit, It's a wilderness area, there isn't an abundance of sheep, and it'll be a DIY hunt. But other than...
