    base layer

    Yeah I wasn't the smartest years ago and was in a hurry and threw some items in the dryer that I shouldn't have causing some shrink. I've had good luck with the First Lite even when snowmobiling in the mountains to keep the moisture away from me. Just wanted to see if there was another...

    base layer

    Looking at getting new upper base layer and am curious what is being recommended by the members of this forum. I currently have First Lite merino and have been happy with it, but they have seemed to shrink over the years of washing. What is being suggested by the group before I go make a new...

    DIY or guided ?????

    It's a tough decision to go guided or not and they both have their pros and cons. I've done both with mixed reviews. On the positive side I've created a great friendship with an outfitter in Alberta over the years and have hunted with him 5 different times for moose and bear. My success has...

    Wyoming summer vacation

    What if a person drove up to Thermopolis and then backtracked down to Riverton to come in through Dubios and see the Bighorn Sheep Center? Is that worth seeing?

    Wyoming summer vacation

    Yep, been through both the north and south units of TR park several times. Another thought was maybe drive through the Bighorns from west to east. I've snowmobiled in there many times and always wondered what that was like in the summer and only saw the eastern side. Trying to get a general...

    Wyoming summer vacation

    Thank you for the suggestion. I also want to make this somewhat of a scouting trip to see some areas to hunt in the future for antelope, deer, and elk. I've been to Jackson before to ski, but don't really remember if there was much to see in town.

    Wyoming summer vacation

    My wife and I are headed to Denver this summer for a wedding the weekend prior to the 4th. We have decided that we want to drive from ND and make a trip out of it. Thoughts were that after the wedding we would wander our way through Wyoming and possibly go through Yellowstone on our way back...

    hello from ND

    I have quite a bit of experience hunting 4C, that is where I used to put in for rifle tags up to about 8 years ago and I decided to just hunt around home for whitetails instead. I got tired of waiting 5-6 years to draw a tag and in the meantime watch some really nice whitetails around my house...

    hello from ND

    Thank you everyone for the warm welcome, I'm looking forward to learning from everyone! Also thanks for the compliments. The goat and sitka were from a trip to Kodiak a few years ago. That was by far the most challenging thing I've ever done both mentally and physically and is a hunt that I...
