Thanks for the replies guys! I'm still on the fence yet, my inner "buy once, cry once" is still saying just continue to save up for the tipi tent that's all set up for it. I've got a couple months before I need it yet so we'll see how the funds line up, but at least I know it is in the realm...
So here’s the backstory…. My fiancé and I are getting married this summer and she agreed to a mini honeymoon in the Colorado Rockies (just so happens to be the area I plan to hunt this fall!😁) doing some hiking/camping/summertime elk scouting! Here’s my dilemma, every time, literally every...
I’m in the hot tent market (debating the same 3 choices you did) and would be interested in hearing how the Solitude is holding up for you so far and your overall opinion on it. Any regrets or wishing you’d have gone with the Argali Anatole or SO Cimmaron? Thanks
Are you still looking? I have a pair in size 11 (44) that I’m considering selling. I picked them up used a few months ago and they are just a little too stiff for what I need. Let me know and I can shoot you some pics. I may consider posting them in the classifieds soon as well.
Thanks All! I am definitely going to start stashing away some cash in an account for him for a future hunt of some sort, least as much as I can afford anyways!
I actually just had a buddy that traveled to Africa for a hunt. He had an "in" through a friend of his that got him a decent deal...
Dang it! I was afraid that might be the case. Guess I'll have to wait until he is hunter ed certified for points then.
ResearchinStuff, Thats something I just might consider. A little here and there over the years could add up up give him a damn nice hunt. Looks like the college fund just...
Hi all! I was recently blessed to become a father to a wonderful little boy earlier this spring. Ever since then, I've been thinking about how I can set him up for hunts and opportunities that I didn't necessarily get to experience. I've studied the strategies and hunted deer/elk in multiple...
Well, I guess that about settles it then! Thanks all for the help and real world experience with these bags, I am going with the 15 degree bag and don't have any doubts that it will suit me just fine. I like the idea of a handwarmer or two in the bag to help out on real cold night too, might...
Thanks for the replies. I may have to look into the 15 degree bag a little more. I would say most of my camping would be with night temps in the 20-40 degree range so maybe the 0 degree bag is overkill then. I checked out stone glacier’s return policy too… maybe I order both and see how snug...
Hi all! Long time reader, fairly new to actually posting. I’ve never had the need to post since there is an abundance of information on here thanks to all the great people that post. However, I’d like to get in the mix of posting now too and need to get my post count up! Lol
I know this...
Hit the jackpot and drew a nonresident early archery elk tag!! I’m stoked! I’ll be in the Lincoln National Forest hoping to score my first archery elk kill.
Yea, Montana general can be a decent tag too, I was there last year. As far as scouting, I will try to get there a few days early, but that’s about all I can do...I’m 23 hours away! Lol This will be all new for me as I’ve never even been in the state yet. Feel free to shoot me an email if you...
Definitely!! Just got done telling the boss man the good news, he said, and I quote, “Well, shit, you’re gonna be gone the whole month aren’t ya?” Lol Sounds to me like I got the green light! September can’t come soon enough.👍🏻
I’m in the same boat as you, Montana breaks and NM 34 early archery for me this year. I’m stoked... may hafta quit my job to get the vacation time though!!
