    Archery Hunting CO high country for mulies. Do I HAVE to glass?

    I would hardly consider the activity of glassing during peak am or pm movement periods (and even midday, though the pace will be slower) to only be an activity of sitting still and doing nothing. Imo, once one progresses past the fresh novice stages of chasing deer, glassing will become a very...

    Satellite communicators worth the cost?

    No, not worth it. Until it is. Then it's more than worth it/idiotic to not have one already. If I was cash strapped and did maybe one hunt a year, might go with other things first. No brainer/necessity for someone who spends much time in the mountains at all. I've had an inreach mini for years...

    Zamberlan 3031 Polar GTX experiences?

    My feet sweat a lot, so in the end I've just given up on trying to manage it with socks and insulation levels and went in the other direction with whole vapor barrier concept. This blog article is what got me convinced to try. I'm pretty much using a vapor barrier of some sort anytime its below...

    Zamberlan 3031 Polar GTX experiences?

    No, I didn't. Sorry. Ended up going with Crispi Wild Rocks in a half size big and have been wearing them with knee high 2mm neoprene wade socks under a heavy merino sock, then gaiters. Been working really well!

    AZ coues 2023 Jan

    Slightly highjacking, but also a little on topic. ha. I'm a mule deer guy and get to spend a lot of time in the mountains, but finally planning my first Coues venture. Seems like something I could end up liking too much. ha. I'm planning to be in southern Az units from 4th or 5th of January...

    WTS Asolo Hunter Extreme Boots - Size 11

    100$ TYD I used these boots on multiple hunts for one year, but retired them to closet after switching to a wider boot. These have seen some mountain miles already, but they're also a solidly built boot and I've always kept the leather well conditioned. Should have plenty of great life yet.

    Wyoming spring bear tips

    Well, its doable, but I wouldn't necessarily expect quick success. If you need to kill an animal year one to feel like your time and energy was worthwile......maybe focus on gaining experience with other species first. Personally though, I love getting out in spring and find bear behavior...

    Western Wyoming water availability

    Not usually too much of factor when Elk hunting. Can be more of an issue when deer hunting the highest basins during archery where the water is some thousands of grueling feet below. But the elk tend to be in drainages, closer to the water.

    EBike for hunting......any recommendations on make (Rambo, QuietKat, etc) and/or model.

    Interested to hear if you've done this yet @tdhanses I've been doing a bunch of research and considering buying a Roscoe to convert as well. Looking at the 7 though, since I might like the 29" tires better? From my reading, 2.6-3.0 width seems the sweetspot for early season mountain traveling...

    First Lite Furnace

    I have both the Furnace QZ top and zip-off boot top bottoms. Great gear for when it gets really cold. Suuuper warm but still manages higher activity well. I just find myself going to the kiln's more often, especially for the bottoms. Mid Sept-mid/late October in wyo high country, I'm running...

    Colorado 4th Season Mule Deer tips

    Good advice in this thread about getting around. Guessing a leftover 4th comes with private access issues? My late season plan A is living behind glass and relying on it as tool #1. Glass Glass Glass, balanced with moving to cover country. Adapt to observations and current conditions - follow...

    Colorado 4th Season Mule Deer tips

    Just going off what I've understood from biologists and how deer herd genetics work in practice, hunting pressure, even extreme pressure, doesn't exert much/any effects on the genetics of a population. Maybe that's wrong since I'm not personally an expert, but seems that's what the studies have...

    Trekking poles….I don’t get it

    The four legged creatures we chase get around the mountain pretty good. I can move just a bit more like they do over deadfall, boulders, and the steep steep when using poles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Zamberlan 3031 Polar GTX experiences?

    I've been looking at the 3031's as a late season, dead of winter hiking through snow boot, and curious if anyone has ran these and what your experience has been? They're a newer model and I haven't really found any real world feedback yet. Sole stiffness, warmth, comfortability over miles and...

    Wyoming Range Bighorn Sheep: adding domestics to the mix?

    Maybe I was just late in seeing the news, or, they had a conveniently short comment period.
