    Silver State Nelson Bighorn Tag

    I drew a coveted Idaho rocky bighorn tag in 2022. I talked to many people going into this hunt for advice. Some said I should get a guide (I did DIY), others said hold out for a monster. I think the best advice I received was from a previous IWSF director. ‘There are 180 class rams in this unit...

    Back Pack

    Check out Initial Ascent. I have the 4k but they make larger packs. I've owned MR, Eberle, and others but IA, in my opinion, is the most versatile, well-engineered pack I've ever owned. It'll pack more weight (correctly) than you can haul. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Double for the Win

    Helped a buddy in Idaho get his ram over the weekend and found a nice deadhead the day before the opener while scouting. He made a great shot at 421 yds to seal the deal. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    If you're looking for a premium spotter, low weight, easy to pack you might try the Swaro STC. Love mine. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    High Country Hunt

    I can't fault anyone asking for advice when drawing a ram tag. Some folks put in their whole lives and never draw. I was extremely lucky on my 2nd attempt, my first for this unit. Sounds like his dad has been putting in for 30+ years so I'd say his dad has more than paid his dues. Frandsen21 is...

    Spotting scope straight eyepiece vs angled eyepiece

    I just ordered the Swaro ATC for backpacking. I think I'm going to switch to the STC for better packability and, arguably, better versatility on backpack hunts. I already own the ATS 65 for base camp spotting and think I'll enjoy the STC on the mountain better. Lastly, I tend to glass 90% of the...

    Hunt Raffle Impacts

    I'm heading up to Salmon to volunteer for capture/collaring efforts tomorrow for a few days. Did it last year and was hooked. Tons of opportunities for folks to step up. What project are you working on later this spring? Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Hunt Raffle Impacts

    Don't think they're necessarily driving up prices but do generate a lot of money for wild sheep organizations and/or F&G to do captures, monitor populations, habitat improvement projects, etc. Sent from my SM-S901U using Tapatalk

    Shoulder Mount vs Wall Pedestal Mount

    Big fan of the wall pedestal mount. Shows off the animal a lot better and just gives the mount more overall depth. The back is not flush against the wall and can either be wrapped with extra cape or covered in leather. Personal preference there. Mine is covered with the cape. You can always add...
