    Where would you go out East?

    Starting this tread got me thinking and I started looking up outfitters in the Adirondacks. Now, I know they all can't be judged on the first few in a google search, but still, very reasonably priced. Granted, deer density is low and I'm guessing you'll see much more action if you hunt some...

    Should I split my hunting time?

    If I'm quick enough with the mouse on July 13, I plan on rifle hunting elk in central Idaho. Now... opening day is Oct. 15, a Thursday. I will certainly be hunting then and through that first weekend. My question: I have vacation time to take the entire next week off and hunt through Oct. 25...

    Where would you go out East?

    I've heard and seen videos of fly fishing for steelhead out of Erie and the rest... man, I could get used to that. Yes, you should appreciate what you have. I miss hunting deer in the second growth hardwoods. Not sure I'm sure what you mean by "Inches = Dollars taking hold"?

    Where would you go out East?

    I'm a newbie to this site but it seems safe to say the majority of members are westerners and those who want to come out west to hunt. Fair enough. But for those western residents, if you were given the opportunity to go on any hunt (or fishing trip) you want east of the Mississippi, what would...

    Copper bullets

    Do you have any examples of manufacturers that produce those? I do not hand load, at least not yet.

    Tentipi stove recommendations

    Don't know if anybody else has one, but I have a Tentipi tent (Safir 9) and I'm looking to buy a wood stove for it. I know about the Eldfell stove, and I'm sure it's awesome, but I just can't afford that. Does anybody else have experience with putting a stove in a tipi style tent like this? I...

    Abandon camps before opener

    Have you reported this to the local Forest Service office, if it is indeed on FS land? It may not be at the top of their list to attend to, but my experience is that they would appreciate you reporting it.

    Abandon camps before opener

    Thanks for the posts everybody. Yes, I can certainly understand permitted outfitters placing camps, they do have a right. Though, people being people, I'm sure some push the boundaries of what is allowed. And for the folks passive-aggressively blocking access at a trailhead or open motorized...

    Copper bullets

    I made the switch to copper bullets several years ago for my 7mmRM, I used to be a devoted nosler partition guy. I've been very pleased with the accuracy and effectiveness on game. Though I grumble a little bit about the price (I shoot factory loads). Has anybody switched to copper and...

    Headlamp recommendations

    Looking for a new hunting pack headlamp. Prefer ones that don't require a special tool of any kind to change batteries. In addition to models, what are your thoughts on light color? I see some that have the option to throw green or red light. Do those really make a difference when you're trying...

    What type of gear do you have way too much of..and don't care?

    I see myself as a minimalist, but I would have to say puffy jackets. And I don't know why, I always use the same one at camp or around town. Yet, I look for them everyday on Craigslist.

    Abandon camps before opener

    Wanted to get folk's take on this. On several occasions where I elk hunt in Idaho, I have witnessed hunting camps set up several days, even weeks, prior to opening day of a big hunt but with nobody there. They are always in quality dispersed camp spots and my feeling is they come out the week...
