Looking for reccomendations for a transporter for a DIY yacht based black bear/halibut/salmon combo trip for a group of 6-8 guys. I have looked into a couple different outfits but would like hear some of your personal experiences. Thanks!
I drew a late muzzy elk tag for the Bannock zone 70-74 and was wondering if there are any outfitters in the area or ranches that allow hunting for a fee. From what I've gathered most of the elk have retreated to private land during this season. Thanks.
I'm in the process of buying the Night Disc Extreme pictured below. Can anyone tell me if this is the musket nipple or #11 nipple? I've only ever owned a TC Omega that shot 209 primers. I'm buying this gun for an Idaho elk hunt and need to be compliant with all the Idaho regs. Thanks!
I drew a controlled hunt elk tag for Idaho as a nonresident but I currently have a OTC general elk tag that I purchased back in December. Am I required to mail the OTC tag back to IDFG to be able to receive the new controlled hunt tag? I read through the rule book and couldn't find the info I...
When I found out I drew the Rhodes Canyon broken horn Oryx tag I knew it was an experience I wanted to share with my daughter and dad. I figured this would be a good trip for her to tag along since she's only 7 and the hunt is not as physically demanding as most western big game hunts. She had...
Does anyone have any outfitter or licensed resident referrals for unit 98 in Wyoming? I have a group of 3 that put in for the limited tag in this unit with enough points we should draw. I've contacted Thompson and Big Sandy and am waiting for more info. Are there any other outfitters or willing...
My Dad and I put in for a Wyoming unit (I'll leave the number out) that should be 100% draw odds. The unit has a small piece of the south side of the Wind River range and tons of open sage flat land and irrigated ag fields. Our tag if we draw will allow us to hunt from Sept. 20 until the end of...
I decided to break down and buy my 6yr old a crossbow for Christmas. I wanted to get her started turkey and deer hunting and thought that it would be less scary and no recoil compared to a shotgun or rifle. After countless hours of practicing I decided she was ready for her first turkey hunt...
Well after 8 days in the bush we’ve made it back to the village. We’ve had an amazing trip with some world class hunting and fishing. Killed our two bulls in the first 3 days then our pilot moved us to a fishing spot. We saw somewhere around 4,000 caribou, caught hundreds of fish 2-15lbs and saw...
Probably should post this in the meat and trophy care section but wanted some specific input. I'm headed to Kotzebue for caribou Sept. 14th-22nd, I've read several forums on this topic but looking for more direction. I'm trying decide whether it's necessary to salt and turn the lips and ears on...
Has anyone used these waders? I cannot find any info on them online other than the Cabelas/Bass Pro websites. I know they are exclusives to those two stores and they are on sale for father's day. I need a pair of waders for an upcoming caribou hunt in AK and would like to know how much they...
What's everyone's thoughts on how Covid-19 will effect the fall hunting seasons in Alaska? How likely is it that AK shuts down bou, moose, and bear to nonresidents? If hunting season are canceled should outfitters and charter services allow you to apply your deposit to a later year?
We have a...
So I've historically been a bow hunter but the last few years I've had less and less time to spend in the woods between work and spending time with my wife and two young daughters. I decided to leave the stick and string behind this year and take a rifle into the elk woods. After reading...
Does anyone have an adapter kit to put a new bag on a 2016 frame? The kit was supposed to come with the bag when I purchased it but it wasn't in the bag. I called KUIU customer service and they are back ordered and won't be in before I leave on my elk trip in one week.
I would be willing to...
Looking to buy a 3 person tent for my September elk hunt and came across the Easton line a tents which are on sale at Cabelas. I'm particularly looking at the Kinetic Carbon. Has anyone used these tent before what are your thoughts?
