    Creepy experiences in the backcountry

    Bowhunting elk in Idaho, solo backpacking about 3 miles in, and I spent the late morning cow calling to a bull who wouldn’t budge from the thick timber across a draw. We called to each for about an hour before I decided to just back off and come back with a different approach in the afternoon...

    Elevated Trail Cam placement?

    I've never used trails cams, but I've decided to use them in preparation for Sept. elk next year. My question to the group: does anybody install them high (8'-10'?) in a tree to avoid detection and tampering by people? I plan to place them near wallows and the country I hunt is fairly thick, so...

    Custom gear bag wishlist suggestions?

    My wonderful girlfriend is very talented with her three sewing machines. Besides clothing, she makes gear bags, bike frame bags, and even her own down sleeping quilt/bag (looks identical to my Enlightened). For Christmas this year, she offered to make me some custom gear bags using dyneema, as...

    WTB Kuiu Guide Jacket, med., hoodless, solid

    Looking to buy a Kuiu Guide Jacket (the hoodless version) in a solid color other than black. Size Medium. By the time I fell in love with my camo version and decided to pick up one for everyday use, they discontinued them. Bummer. Thanks for looking!

    Hoodless raingear

    Need help finding a quality hoodless rain jacket. I'm looking at the high-end hunting clothing brands, but everything looks hooded. Am I missing one? Also, I'm open to non-traditional hunting brands. For several years when I was salmon fishing in British Columbia I was using a kayak jacket...

    Do's & Don'ts: starting over at the pro shop

    Appreciate the input. 540 Virginian - yes, I plan on asking a lot of questions and listening. I like what I've read about Ashby, but I know not everybody subscribes to that. Maybe my first trip to the shop will just be a lot of talking at this point. And if it helps, my primary target will be...

    Do's & Don'ts: starting over at the pro shop

    Getting back into bowhunting after a long hiatus. I'll soon be going to a local archery shop, one that I'm told has a good reputation, to shop for my new compound bow setup. One thing that I didn't like before about the sport was the juggling act of draw weight/broadhead weight/spine, and...

    Book about Elk?

    Probably not quite what you're looking for. But a large, heavy book for anybody who really wants to nerd out on elk: North American Elk - Ecology and Management I bought my copy a couple years ago from the publisher Wildlife Management Institute. Looks like I did just in time for them to stop...

    Posted lands that are not Private-recourse?

    I work for a federal land management agency in Idaho and I was talking about this very subject with one of our Law Enforcement Officers the other day. He told me they carry a can of black spray paint in their patrol trucks as standard gear to spray over orange painted fence posts on public lands...

    Electric heater for large tent

    Looking for advice on a portable electric heater for my large Tentipi Tent (17' diameter, 10' at peak). I have a wood stove, and it's good. Have a Big Buddy, and that works too under the right conditions. But sometimes I'm camping on the pacific northwest coast during the rainy season and...

    And it was then he realized.......

    Left Boise on a 12-hour drive to British Columbia for salmon fishing. Three hours later, while gassing up in La Grande, OR, I realized my passport was still on my dresser at home. My fishing buddy couldn't understand why I was suddenly swearing and laughing at the same time. He didn't talk at...

    Hanging mount on picture rail molding

    I have a mule deer european mount on a plaque with the basic metal notch to hang on a heavy screw or bolt (see pic). I now live in a house with lath and plaster walls that I prefer not to drill into. But the walls also have picture rail moldings, which I utilize now for all my pictures. Works...

    Game Warden shortage nationwide

    Passing along an article about the shortage of game wardens throughout the country. A tough job for sure. I know I'm pleased to see one, the few times that I have. I wonder how many are on this forum? Hunting for Game Wardens: A Shortage of Conservation Officers Threatens Wildlife

    Soft Camper Shells

    I hadn't looked into that, but maybe I should. I will only be using this for weekend trips to the hills, so, not really around town and such. But, you bring up a good point.

    Scouting in Sept. for elk in Oct.

    I'll be hunting in central Idaho when the rifle season opens on Oct. 15. I'm fortunate to only live 2-3 hours away and so I have plenty of opportunity to scout in late July and August. But I'm contemplating how to go about scouting in September. My question is twofold: 1) To what degree can I...

    Catching Big Trout

    Depending on what rivers you're fishing, target just below the dam. Tailwaters are excellent places to find the biggest of the big browns. Target the tailwaters and do it at night with big lures or flies. I'll also second the notion of fishing for them in the fall.

    Soft Camper Shells

    I just ordered a Softopper for my '17 Tacoma and included the back screen addition. I did not buy the boot cover. Will arrive by Monday, supposedly. I knew I wanted a soft top and from what I researched... to me... Softopper just had a bit of an edge over the Bestop.
