Elusive they are for sure. Knowing where they are able to hide in the Florida swamps, it’s gotta be another beast hunting them in the islands.
Stumbled upon some locals in Oahu a few years back running dogs at a higher elevation trail. Both the dogs and guys were absolutely gassed with no luck.
Man….. great story and great thread. Thanks for sharing your experience @aftriathlete.
I’ve been doing my research and due diligence on planning a similar Lanai hunt. Might shoot you a PM here in a little bit to pick you brain if you don’t mind.
I wasn't too concerned about sharing the images.
1. I am new to elk hunting so if someone was to follow my e-scouting advise, that would probably be a mistake on their part.
2. Maybe I am just naïve, but unless one was familiar with those areas, it would take them a good bit of time to reverse...
Hello Everyone,
A buddy and I drew Montana Combo Licenses and I have been e-scouting over the past year. I have gone through multiple units and multiple plans, thinking that I found the "perfect" spot and have the perfect plan. A few weeks into refining glassing spots, feeding areas, drainages...
Haven't hunted Wyoming so not sure I'm in the position to provide input yet, but I am curious about the two Kuiu hoodies. Could you get away with just packing 1? I guess it doesn't matter too much since you are horseback.
Sounds like they were pulling the 6-7 year life span out of thin air. If I had to guess, Arcteryx, Patagonia, and other top level brands across the industry would disagree with that point. What is that 6-7 year life span based off of?
Beautiful golden you got there. Hope get there with my 7 month old eventually.
But to respond to OP:
Lots of love for the ducks. I feel like a lot of people look past the Florida coast and inland waters. There is no shortage of ducks down here. Most of the time I’m hunting small public lakes...
Yeah most of the guys I know take the uncrustables. I just made them myself and put a half sandwich in each shoulder strap pocket of my osprey pack.
It’s pretty fun to experiment with different types of hydration and fuel. There is no right or wrong answer. Some get super technical, some don’t...
When training for my marathons, any run over 6 miles in the Florida heat I wore my osprey hydration pack with a bladder full of water and 2 Nuun hydration tablets. I would also carry Gu and eat those every 35 minutes on the long slow distant runs over 6 miles. The Gu’s get old pretty quick so I...
Thanks for the post @novcie870. Sorry to bump it again but I noticed you are wearing some kuiu gear. An XL Kuiu Puffy and Guide Jacket fits me perfectly. I'm just wondering what your Kuiu to SG sizing comparison is. I found it interesting that you were running an XL Kuiu Axis.
If there are any guys out there that are savy with a sewing machine or has a lady friend that is good with one I’d recommend these sewing kits below to make your own organizer bags. They are a lot cheaper than if you were to buy them from Osprey, Hyrdralite, or Stone Glacier.
They are Dyneema...
