    Schnees vs kenetrek pac boot

    Using pac boots for longer distance hunting is just hard for me to fathom being from Wisconsin. We use the large versions out here for ice fishing and stand hunting, and I can't imagine hunting in them Western-style. They are also at least twice as much $ as the brands that we use out here...

    First Elk

    really exciting! It's great to take an animal like that with your kid right next to you- especially with them shooting. I'm taking my 16-year-old daughter out this year, and I hope we have a similar pleasure.

    WY Leftover Speed Goat Experience

    I heard about the changes in Wyoming. Out here in Wisconsin it feels pretty dizzying to keep up with all the changes in the Western laws. I think I have two preference points for Wyoming, but I know a number of guys that have stopped accumulating for that state. Hopefully this will ebb and flow...

    What's the smallest mule deer buck you would shoot?

    I don't have trouble finding mature bucks in the place I hunt. So I wouldn't shoot something smaller than a 4 x 4 unless I was with one of my kids and they were hunting, or it was very late in the trip and we hadn't taken an animal.

    Midwest Hunt Opinions

    the line "a couple of buddies" is key. I started in 2014 going every other year, and hopefully this year will start me going every year. I didn't have the money to get a guide since I have four children and only my income. So I did the hard way – reading, finding deals on gear, and working out...

    How many is too many

    I'm hoping to hunt Idaho at some point. All of my Western hunts so far have been to the western slope of Colorado, because of some friends living there. When my dad drove home from serving during Vietnam from Washington, he said that Idaho was the most beautiful state he had ever seen.

    Youth shotgun?

    that's a great choice. I am a lefty myself, and I have dealt with all of the left-handed issues with shotguns and pistols. However, I have not found a lot of trouble shooting right-handed guns. For anyone else reading this thread, the Browning BPS is a great ambidextrous gun, and is my backup...

    2019 Archery Elk w/ Youth hunter

    everything I've read about getting kids into hunting and fishing focuses on making sure that it's fun, even if it costs you your goal. This is definitely been true for my four children in fishing, and hunting so far. This year will be my first Western hunt with one of my girls, but she will be...
