    Turkey/Coyote Scattergun recommendations

    I started looking at 12 gauge inertia semi auto shotguns for turkey/coyote hunting and wondered what everyone who uses a shotgun for either or both would recommend. My budget is under $1k. I’ve compared Franchi and Stoeger side by side, but can’t really see what the major differences are between...

    The suppressor advantage for coyotes

    I’ve been wondering what advantages people have experienced who hunt coyotes with a suppressor and can say it made a definite positive impact on their level of success. The argument that coyotes won’t come in to the call after an unsuppressed shot is fired is bologna from my experience, so there...

    Hunting mid morning and into the afternoon

    Whether you overslept your alarm or had other obligations that kept you from being in the elk woods at 0 dark thirty to locate a herd of talkative elk, how have you approached hunting elk after they’ve bedded for the day? Step one is knowing there are elk there, but step two getting them to be...

    Hunting coyotes in high pressure areas

    I recently hunted in an area that has a lot of coyotes in it, but there are a fair number of other coyote hunters that know that too. Consequently, these coyotes are a student of the game and either won’t come in to the call or will come in, but stay out of sight or out of range and bark/yip at...

    Field Judging Mountain Lions (Game Camera)

    I got this lion on camera and was wondering if anyone could give some insight based on this picture whether or not this is a female or male and if it’s a medium or large cat. My thought is that with the body making it’s head look small, that it’s a large male cat. I’m only guessing, so I’d like...

    Cow Elk Bugling

    I was on a scouting trip in NW Montana recently and was half asleep and half awake(I sleep like garbage in a tent in bear country). I woke up instantly to a bugle at 1 AM that reverberated down through the drainage I was sleeping in. It sounded like it was right above me a couple hundred feet on...

    Call sequence/tempo

    I went out coyote hunting at last light on some thick brushy/wooded river bottom private property that has bobcat, fox, and coyote. A very mixed batch of critters. I started out with low volume rodent distress and mouse squeaks, then went to baybee cottontail, then to pheasant distress in 3-5...

    Coyote Howling November through January

    Curious if anyone on here can shed some light on here for calling coyotes with coyote vocal sounds almost exclusively using hand calls/reeds on stands November through January. How do you respond after you get a pack to serenade or you get one or two to howl back? What’s your next progression...

    Wolf scrape

    I came across this while hunting elk on an old abandoned logging road high up along the top of a ridge in NW Montana this last weekend. Best I could figure was that it was a moose that made this scrape since it did not smell like elk pee in the scrape (Not totally sure moose do this anyway, but...

    Non-breeding season coyote vocal calling

    I use a variety of distress sounds for coyote hunting, but I want to get more into using/understanding coyote vocals (interrogation, barks, challenge howling etc.) for calling the more wise and educated coyotes out there. I use coyote distress sounds during my stands and it has been effective...

    Fs mystery ranch tactiplane pack

    This is a never been used pack that has no marks or signs of wear and is up for any task you need. I had gotten two of these packs for my wife and I to use for back country hunting, but once we had our daughter she fell out of serious hunting mode. I have used mine all over Kodiak Island and it...

    Dall Sheep DS103 Tok Management Area

    I drew the coveted DS103 TMA dall sheep hunt and booked a flight into Joe Young Creek on the West Fork of the Robertson for August 25th-September 4th. I was hoping to hear if anyone has had (or know someone that has) experience in this area, or have heard much about this area in general. There...
