I'll be hunting on this tag for the first time and probably hunting by myself. Wondering if anyone else on here will be there 3rd season so I can keep in touch and maybe stop by with a beer. You can send me a PM if you prefer.

Thanks for reviving this thread. It's great to find out more about the guys whose posts I read. I just turned 62 and have a great wife and 11 grandkids, 8 of which live near us and 6 of which are boys, most of which are crazy about hunting even though they are 7 or younger, so mostly its just...

My wife is going antelope hunting with me in late October in Wyoming this year. It is her first time to go so she has no hunting clothing yet other than good hiking boots. I've already gotten her a hat, gloves, merino neck gaiter and base layer, so I'm looking for help on mid and outer layer...

Selling my 2011 Elite Pulse bow with 29" draw length 50-60# in snow camo riser and black limbs. Practically new, because I had the limbs, string, cables, whisker biscuit and quiver replaced last year, then unexpectedly received a new carbon bow this year. ISO rated at 329-332 fps. Smotth draw...

Why do you trophy hunt? That is, if you do concentrate on getting the biggest bull or buck you can find. Is it competitive spirit? Taking hunting to a higher level, taxing your body and honing your skills? Is it pride in outsmarting the best buck on the mountain? What makes trophy hunting...

Saw the quote at the bottom in the WSJ this morning, referring to the Memorial Day weekend just ahead. A man who will not fight for anything is not a man. Today, we are having to fight for things we used to take for granted. But the biggest thanks goes to those willing to put their lives at...

I'm selling my Manfrotto 190CX3 carbon tripod with a Vanguard PH-32 pan head. It went for $325 new. Selling for $195 TYD. The legs have 3 strong sections each (2 that extend out) with lever locks and can adjust to 3 different positions. Two sections means a quicker setup and larger diameter...

Anyone have experience hunting deer in unit 35 2nd or 3rd season? It's a good unit if you don't mind sharing it with 650 deer and elk hunters in only 268 sq miles. Not sure how you hunt it with that many guys running around.

There’s a lot wrong with today’s America and there’s a lot that is right. Thanksgiving is a day when we should thank the Lord for being able to live lifestyles most people throughout history could never imagine and most of the world today only dreams about – the American Dream. I am thankful...

We're always looking for ideas for the Members Research Section (MRS), either topics or details. Last year we really expanded and upgraded the MRS by adding pages, lots of new charts and maps and much more information in the tables. I think it's a lot easier on the eyes, more useful and more...

In Pageland, SC a man was arrested a week ago for possession of 5-6,000 stolen guns, plus 500 chain saws and other stuff. http://www.thestate.com/news/local/crime/article41913897.html All the guns have their serial #s. Not many thieves go to the trouble to file them off, especially on rifles...

As I read the regs, there is no requirement to be a resident guide that can "guide" nonresident hunters in WY wilderness areas other than to apply for that status, have a valid hunting license, be a resident and not receive compensation. Has anyone done this with nonresident hunting partners...

What would you put on the Top 10 List for mistakes nonresidents make when they apply for the draw? Obviously, it varies by state because state draw types vary, sometimes by species. Examples are good, if you have them.

Today I shared with someone my excitement over signing up for a 14-day horseback sheep hunt, one I've dreamed about since I was a kid reading Jack O'Connor articles in Outdoor Life. (I didn't know about Gordon Eastman back then). If it actually comes to pass, it will be more money by far than...

Try some outdoor stores like www.backcountryedge.com and look for hiking or softshell pants. I bought my hot weather pants from REI because I didn't care about them being camo.

For those of you looking for boots or other outdoor products, REI has their annual 20% off sale starting Friday May 15. I'm planning to order a pair of Zamberlan boots and that will save me nearly $70, plus they earn a year-end dividend for another $34.
