    Youth goulds turkey hunt

    Goulds turkey hunting info isn't hard to find but not much info out there about people taking a youth hunter along with them. Has anyone taken their kid to Mexico to chase a goulds turkey? Or even taken their kid along for a Sonora mule deer hunt, really no difference in travel and logistics...

    Turkey gun for Son (8)

    Hey not sure if you purchased the savage 301 yet but consider looking at the .410 cva scout. 20 inch barrel with an Xtra full choke. The 20 inch barrel makes it handle way better for a kid. My daughter was a few months shy of her 5th birthday when she killed her first bird. A bog death grip is a...

    Alaska - where to start?

    I did, we were there sept 15-20. Had some unfortunate weather and mix that with a new pilot flying out of Anchorage and we lost the first 4 days waiting for the weather to lift. Once out on the mountain the trip was great. I have nothing but good things to say about the fella that guided me. I...

    Mtn goat taxidermy

    I'm not real concerned with getting back, I'm just looking for a recommendation on an east coast taxidermist. I would prefer to drive and pick the finished mount up vs say have it shipped from Alaska. Shipping cost have seemed to get outrageous lately.

    Which sleeping bag? Have it narrowed down to choices

    I ended up with a mountain equipment snowline a few years ago, I did order a couple less expensive bags and tried them at home before returning them and keeping the mountain equipment. It fit better had better baffles, i liked the verticle baffles to keep the down on your core body area, the...

    Which sleeping bag? Have it narrowed down to choices

    While the taiga bag looks good weight and price wise it is supposedly rated to the same temperature but contains 10 Oz less down fill. That is a factor to look at. You aren't comparing apples to apples between these two choices.

    WANTED hunting partner for a 2023 Kodiak Island Alaska black tail hunt

    Hopefully you find a partner for next year, I was there the week of Thanksgiving. Such an incredible hunting experience. We did a boat based hunt, we all shot really nice bucks but if I were to do it Alain I would love a hybrid boat trip. Hike in and camp for 1 or two nights then hit a different...

    243 for Antelope

    I wouldn't hesitate to shoot a 243 for antelope, 2021 out group killed 7 that week all shooting 6.5s, I would suggest shooting at distance so you are prepared. We shot them between 90 and 460 yards. Once they are hit they don't send to have much will to live. I was surprised at joe easy they die.

    Planning My First Antelope Hunt

    Good luck to your group on drawing this year. Antelope is probably my favorite hunt. Only thing i know of that you can all share a truck and still all be successful on a couple day hunt. While a spotting scope isn't necessary it can save you many miles of hiking if you are looking for a trophy...

    Alaska - where to start?

    I am booked to hunt with Lonesome Dove Outfitters for this september. Dennis seems to run a very successful archery goat hunt. I couldn't find one negative review on his outfit. I was looking at Kodiak because of the cost but my buddy was already booked with Dennis so I chose to go with him. Im...

    Outfitter canceled $9500 elk hunt 25 July. Thoughts on 2023 outfitters?

    I also had a not so great guided experience in Idaho this year on an elk hunt. I was successful but the experience took away from what the hunt should have truly been and I couldn't in good faith recommend them to anyone. As you look at 2023 I would vet the outfitter and reach out to...

    Any recommendations for an elk hunting outfitter in Idaho?

    I would vet your outfitter really well. I shot a nice archery Bull in Idaho this year but had a less then desirable hunting experience.
