Define a ‘DIY’ Hunt

[cnelk]

What is your definition of a DIY (Do It Yourself) Hunt?

 

[UpNorth89]

Doing all of my own research, planning and hunting. The only other people helping are part of the group.

Yup and take it one further. No Professional support from anyone that has a license in the industry paid or not...in that the tag holder is the primary brain, strategy, scouter, hunter, and packer.

#DIY is a necessary hashtag to include in social media posts to assert superiority when showing off majestic 2.5 year old bucks you kill while road hunting. I thought everyone knew this.

Coming onto rokslide to beg for honey holes… or information about specific units that I randomly drew without any planning or fore thought

The real question is… What is “backcountry”?

If I can’t see my truck (while in timber), have I gone deep enough to be in the “backcountry”?

If the answer is yes, then I’m “runnin” my layering system OTC… DIY… Backcountry. Oh yeah, I’m Ultralight, Backpack huntin now in your honey hole mutha f-ckas.

 

[cnelk]

Twice I’ve gone to Alaska moose hunting.
Brought all my own gear.
Hired a pilot to fly me into an area I drew.

Is that considered DIY?

Had a spot where you hike real high up, you are like 3-4 miles in, but you can see the trail head… heck you can even part of a town…

Yes it is. Without a doubt.

For sure!
In Idaho we could regularly see the truck, or at least the road… and it was only 2500 to 3500 vertical feet back down!

Taxi or transporter pilot?

It's diy if you carried your moose out yourself, to your truck.




If you relied on a plane, you cheated.

I'm sure a float option was available, shame you didn't allow enough vacation.

 

[WhatToHunt]

DIY to me is public land with no guide or local person accompanying. Although advice/direction from a local, or person who previously hunted the area, is allowed under my definition.

 

[ManyBullets]

DIY is stealing a BOAL from a flat biller, a kid or a woman.

The vast majority of Alaska is only accessible by plane. You want him to walk to Alaska from Colorado too?

Yes.

Because DIY is the definition of BA.
