    The Tax Day Giveaway!

    The Mystery Ranch pack sure would have made this a little easier. I would use it on all my elk trips!!!!!

    15X56 Swaro SLC

    I really don't want to part with these but I have some other priorities and I already have a great spotting scope. 15 X 56 SLC WB (these are the discontinued SLC model) I am throwing in the tripod foot that I purchased to use them on a tripod. I'll also throw in a small older tripod. It has...

    Know how to use your gps

    I touched on this a little on another thread. On our middle hunt (Cow in Medicine Bow N.F. WY-12) we came across a elderly hiker who had to leave his wife on the mountain in high-teen overnight temps. They had lost a trail then gone cross country for several hours. He had a working high end...

    Wy unit 24 & 12, co 23 trip report

    SPAM IN PMs

    I know there is probably a link or tab to report to a mod but I can't find it. It looks like a ZERO post spammer "count wood......." is hitting folks PMs. Whats the quickest way to get them out of here? I don't feel the need for Spam, I don't want to learn to read minds and I don't need Viagra:)

    Non-Back Country Camp RV vs. Wall Tent

    I try to spend at least a couple of weeks a year in my wall tent whether in elk camp or just camping. I absolutely prefer it for camping and hunting but I am yielding to my hunting partners who are bending over backwards to help me. This season I will be dragging the RV out to WY and CO for elk...

    Just wanted to share my accomplishment for today. Put up 24 jars of apple butter from my apple tree out back. Just about out of time with bear season now open. Guess the blackberries will have to be frozen until December………
