In my twenties I thought they were for granolas only. Then a buddy used them on our elk hunts in the snow and in September. Once I realized they were awesome for many things, such as resting your upper body on them during heavy packouts, I was sold. I bought a pair of aluminums on sale and now...
There is a way out of Samak that holds a few deer and is easy to get to. OnX will help you keep in its boundaries as there's some private land to the West. As you head east along that same highway that takes you to Samak there are plenty of side roads to drive that'll get you into areas to do...
Great book advice. Glad I found this thread. I've wondered if what I know from many punched tags matches up with what even more experienced guys teach. Of course there's always more to learn and combining reading, research and trial and error certainly shortens the learning curve. Looking...
This is a bit of a guess on deer and what the terrain looks like but I always plan on most deer bedding down during the day on north facing slopes. In the early morning I catch them on south facing slopes. I have noticed the closer we get to September, the earlier they cross over from the south...
Jason one thing I've loved knowing is by and large, but not always, deer like to be on south facing slopes in the evening and start moving to north facing slopes in the morning. Similarly with east, west facing slopes, during the day I find most bedded on west facing slopes. When there's a lot...
I packed this deer into one Caribou gear elk quarter bag. Granted it wasn't the biggest bodied deer I've packed out. Nonetheless, one or two deer quarter bags would be fine when deboning a deer. The quarter bag shots are rear elk quarters in the Caribou bags. After deboning them, the meat...
Was there opening day of the archery deer hunt and deer are everywhere. We did see one big buffalo, the first in the couple trips we've made there. I have nothing but great things to say about the area and the numbers of deer. The elk in the area we scout seem to move into the roadless area...
The Christmas sale went through new year's if I remember right, but they were on package deals only. You got the pack, a medium tripod and a panhead for under $1,000. I was looking at picking up just a tripod but they never did show up as an item only sale.
