Always interesting making choices on 'trophy' units. I'm sitting on 5 points and my wife is at 13 points for Wyoming. At times I've considered blending our points and hunting on a 9, but with her holding 13 points we may draw her in a 'blue chip' type Red Desert unit, only given that it will...
Wife has got 13 points and even she doesn't have ALL the options of Red Desert tags in some zones. We are narrowing in on about 5 different options though and should be going in 2020 if all goes well and winter isn't too bad down that way. Point creep is sure a real thing and I'm currently a 5...
I'm doing a DIY hunt in the area that they outfit in 12 days.
They hunt some amazing country, solid outfitter, great opportunity for multi species hunts, and they kill some giant moose.
Glad to share how the trip goes with you sometime (albeit its a DIY trip but will give you an idea of...
Ya interesting, something I hadn't considered.
Used to have an original MR Dragonfly and it fit the bill so nicely. I sold it for some stupid reason....lol.
Ya, I love the 5900 all cinched up as a day pack. No doubt its a great option for almost all day hunting.
Sometimes just like a smaller one for running around with. Might be answering my own question by typing it out and realizing the Avail may fit the bill for the times that I want something...
I own a 5900 and a 7900 SG and just sold my Sitka Flash 20 pack that I use a lot for day hunts.
No intention to haul a bunch of meat, and if I was doing a bigger hunt that required the room, the 5900 would likely be my 'go-to'.
Flash 20 has been used for the past few years and I want a pack to...
I have the Tines up for my TG4 and its been 'decent' I'll say. I have issues with the camera communicating with my cell phone if I want to use the remote shutter, etc and find that adjusting the camera on the ring on my Swaro scope seems to be a constant battle of adjustments and getting it set...
What I'm saying is that without discretion, the answer is that people are inadmissible and will not be allowed entry. If that's more acceptable, then we have different opinions on it. The simple fact is that a consulate will not ever give a 'sensible program for approving entry' for regular...
You can apply at the Canadian Consulate in LA. I'd say for most travellers the best bet is actually at a port of entry, where an officer is able to fully understand the situation and make the determination. I haven't heard of many cases (if any) where a traveller received a TRP for anything...
I believe there are countless times when an officer should be able to use discretion to allow someone entry to Canada who is inadmissible for certain reasons. There are several reasons why facilitating the admission of a traveller is beneficial or can be done for several reasons. Hunters or...
Canada still offers Temporary Resident Permits, with certain requirements needing to be met to be considered for one.

Just to be clear, that website link isn't law or policy. Its a statement by a website. Current policy is not as its posted on that website, its an opinion.
DUI's from before Dec 18th are being treated the same way that they have for the past number of years. If a person was to get a new DUI...
I've wondered about subscribing for a year, but don't apply much in various states. My wife has 11 points in Wyoming for antelope and I've got a handful for mulies, but other than that we are only going to be looking for a hunt or two. Seems the cost may not be worth it for the 2-3 hunt...
Sitka has donated several thousands of dollars towards conservation work that I've seen with my own eyes, with zero profit. Anyways, just my comment on the matter of Sitka supporting conservation work in a big way.
