    How Many Still Prefer To Hunt Alone?

    Depends on the tag but for the most part I'm with ya. I like to do what I want, when I want and how I want. I don't like to tip toe around others ideas or opinions. I will say having more bodies helps in so many ways such as calling setups, pack outs, extra eyes and safety. I do however really...

    Lets Talk about Bear Scores

    Doesn't look like this has been talked about much but I am curious on peoples input on bear scores. What's your highest scoring bear? Do western states have smaller (low scoring) bears? Do you see much variance in the bears you harvest? Have you noticed a correlation between score and size or...

    Mathews Lift Limb issues?

    I just won a certificate for a new Lift. I will be doing a 29.5 in 70lb draw. Sounds like Mathews has officially acknowledged the limb issue and supposedly fixed the problem. Being that this will be a new bow should I be worried about having any issues with the limbs? Seems like most the issues...

    Debris inside binoculars???

    Just bought some BX4 on here and after a couple weeks I noticed what looks like a piece of fuzz on one of the interior lenses. It wasn't there originally. When I look through the objective I think I can see it. It looks almost microscopic but it gets magnified when I look through them. It's...

    What changes are you making this season?

    I definitely need to exercise my patience and employ some ambush tactics. I guess my problem is that I l know general pockets where the elk are but I don't know the pockets themselves well enough to pick a spot to sit. Lack of scouting and experience on my part. Plus I really enjoy the...

    Day hunt vs backpack hunt

    I really enjoy the experience that comes with a backpack hunt and the challenge it brings but its not always the best tactic if you want to be successful l. Elk hunting I day hunt. Solo backpack hunts aren't really feasible for me. Deer it depends on the situation but I will do both...

    What changes are you making this season?

    Always struggled with that decision as well. Pushed in twice last year and bumped the bulls both times. Decided not to push in on others and they wouldn't commit. I definitely need to work on reading the situation and knowing how to execute.

    Why is my bear grease liquid

    yeah nothing wrong with what you are describing. I keep mine in the fridge and it solidifies like bacon grease and then I scoop some into the pan for cooking and it melts no problem and is great for cooking.
