    Looking for drop camp partner(s)

    Until doing a week-2 back country hunt with one of my best friends this would have seemed like a great idea. We are very close hunt exactly the same both positive attitudes yet each of us still end up at some point getting on the others nerves. We still spend most of September if not all of...

    Crossing Canda border

    Asking for a friend ……….. did you happen to go through a diversion ? Supposedly at least here that is supposed to wipe it off your record. The fact that my insurance still saw it for many many years leads me to believe that isn’t true.

    WA Black Bear Strategy

    Washington and Oregon both are more concerned with conversation of predators more so then game. That was more a blanket statement for someone moving to become a Washington resident that I’m assuming is looking for more then just bear opportunity. Maybe I’m incorrect but I believe they got rid...

    WA Black Bear Strategy

    I can’t speak for Washington specifically never hunted the area. Oregon is similar terrain however. Tacoma from what I have seen I would think you would have a couple hour drive to get into hunting maybe I’m wrong there. E scouting will be your friend. Research timber companies that allow...

    DIY Freeze Dried Recipes

    Cheese makes a good snack too. My son did mangos the other day they were really sour edible but not worth the hassle lol. It could be we don’t know what we are doing and they were not ripe too.

    Old Bear Summer Sausage

    Worth thawing out and seeing if there is freezer burn. I recently cooked hamburger helper with a long lost package of elk burger from 16. No one died bit of freezer burn I cut off the edges everyone had seconds. I trust game meat I processed way more then anything store bought

    Elevation change to stop other hunters

    I agree with a lot more than you think. You could end up running into hunters with pack stock as well. With the resources out there now it’s hard to find somewhere no one else will go.

    Your First Shot on a Cold Bore is the most important.

    Gets em on the run adds to the challenge. All joking aside I’ve never claimed to be a good shot. Good optics make it possible for not great shooters to shoot moderate distances.

    Your First Shot on a Cold Bore is the most important.

    I’m a firm believer in at least one sound shot. I concentrate a lot more on follow up shots. So I guess you could say it’s rare I rifle hunt without my barrel getting a proper warm up! Also took up archery hunting years ago, for some reason I hold my composure a lot better with arrows.

    Donkeys, Llamas or Goats

    I’ve never tried goat but there are times it has crossed my mind! Amazing what you will put up with to have a sufficiently lighter pack back.

    Backpacking food

    Freeze dryers for home use are becoming more and more reasonable, if you spend enough time living off freeze dried food. If I’m feeling lazy at dinner time I’ll make hot water in the kerig and go dig though my totes for dinner and rehydrate preserved meals at home too.

    Long Range Scope Help

    I like my nightforce. I have a nxs, nx8, and my wife has the atacr. For the nxs to be called a garbage scope I feel like it had fogged up covers or something? Mine has been a beat up truck gun and is comparable to our atacr. I will say nightforce are heavy. With that being said I would...

    12v/Truck Fridge and Freezer

    I guess I should start my own thread but if anyone has advice on a freezer unit that would hold a elk+ is my interest. Sorry if adding to this existing conversation is out of line. I like seeing options I have not before

    12v/Truck Fridge and Freezer

    We have been searching for a propane freezer preferably chest freezer. Options are extremely limited. I’m interested as well in what you find. Currently generator set up works, but if we pack one animal out and go back in it would be nice to not be worried about thawing as soon as gas runs out.

    Wild Game Recipes

    I did a Mongolian deer steak over white rice the other day it was really good. I kinda based it off multiple different internet recipes but with my style cooking I didn’t follow any of them. Also I did stroganoff with deer steak instead of traditional burger I don’t think my family will let...

    Buying Used Glass

    I bought my wife a set of els, my slc 15s and my nls off rokslide all flawless transactions with great sellers. I do prefer to have an actual phone conversation and thus far anyone I’ve dealt with is totally ok with that.
