I also use the lens cleaner in the foil packs for glasses. The fogging issue is tougher - we would leave our guns in the truck so they were the same temp as the outside and try to not breath on it. Otherwise, no issues with fogging but did used to get snow in them hunting "the north woods" and...

I looked thru/shot a gun w a Night Force on it this weekend. Real nice scope - good dialing.

Tim has a great point about the weather. What is comical is the parents who selfishly steal time from their kids cause their own "hunt" is more important. So, the state has to make it happen for the kids - most folks are pathetic. The way to get the kids out is to wake em up when you get up...

About 40 years ago we were driving across a cut corn field and out runs a really nice buck. Dad has his gun in hand and is heading out the door and stops, tells me to shoot it. I missed 3 times at about 60 yards, broadside, 180-190# weight class buck. Antler-wise, he was wider than his ears...

Thanks for taking us along. I see you going out there, having a great time, and giving it your all and a couple other guys' all too. That's the way I was raised - there is only one "hunting season" every year and that's where it is at. 5.5 weeks and counting for me...

The coots down here eat good - smelly little birds but the meat is comparable to teal.

I'm from FL and that airboat is some serious stuff! Wishing you a safe trip - that's an awesome adventure.

As for the landowner tags - it depends where and what the demand is. The kind of buck you are looking for could be pricey. In 2008 I almost went to MT on a landowner tag. Paid the deposit to guide, had license, and then lost my job. Lost about $2200-$2400. I think the landowner voucher was...

I heard that if you sleep below 9,000 feet there will be less effects. Taking that extra day or half day to get acclimated might just make the other 5-7-9 days more tolerable. No, I never been there and don't plan any mountain hunting. Hope your trip treats you guys right and you get what you...

Kinda makes you wonder how many were killed before one ran off in the wrong direction. Air rifles are legal for deer & hogs down here and are getting a following. I'm not sure of the specifics on what calibers are legal. an attorney on another forum is a big proponent of the air gun laws and...

I hope to prune 2 bucks out of the population in the next 6 or so years. That's it. Not a life style, just a fun trip. I like symmetrical bucks. A perfect buck would be a symmetrical heavy beamed 4x4 with about a 24-inch spread, boxy looking rack. No idea what that would score, just what I...

Another fellow telling folks to do stuff. If he can get enough people to poke sharp sticks at MT, maybe they will go all limited entry hunts like so many other states.

The preference points are your way of standing in line while you wait. Nothing wrong with them - most folks were taught to wait their turn when they were kids - just wait and wait and wait, all okay as long as no-one is "cutting" up front... I spent some time looking at the application numbers...

Hi Luke - same thing happened to me the first year I hunted WY. I asked the GW about the whole "valid off" and he acted like I was nuts for being confused and asking for clarification. They could at least have a description that says "valid on" to counteract the whole thing. The doe/cow being...

Seen Randy Newberg standing on a rock calling with a cow call tube. Does that stuff really work? What kind of tube cow call works? If you look for the general discussion hearing aid post you'll find I can't hear. I'd only do it out of it working otherwise I'm fine just sitting there. Same...

I'm new to wanting to hunt CO. Looking at a unit with a lot of private land - some of the public parcels are "checkerboard". In WY there needed to be a numbered public road to drive to public land, if it wasn't a numbered road you were trespassing. Sure cut out a lot of public land with that...

Moderator - Please delete.

I see harvests of 10-20% being norm, some places boast 40-50%. What is it that makes them so tough? Is it the large areas, steep mountains, long legs? What is it?

Can you guys help point me in the right direction for a WY DIY public land early season cow elk archery hunt? I'm not afraid of research, asking questions, or walking/climbing, etc. I lost 35 pounds and got in much better shape to do the antelope hunt and could probably lose another 20 or...

I'm in the dark down here in FL - able to keep my freezer frozen but it brought up a real concern... How to keep my antelope iced-down. Is ice readily available in towns during hunting season? Dry ice a requirement? I'll be driving & riding 30 hrs, so should be able to get some ice along...
