    Recipes and food ideas for 10 day Alaskan drop hunt

    I'm going on a 2 man drop hunt for moose in Alaska in 2018. I'm sitting inside watching it rain, cooking dinner right now and got to thinking about the menu for that hunt. The outfitter provides the cooking gear including a 2 burner Coleman stove and skillet, pots, plates etc. We have a 100lb...

    Berger hunting bullet performance on quartering shots

    I shoot both Bergers and Accubonds as do several that post here. It is interesting to me to see the different preferences of different hunters. I personally prefer the terminal characteristics of the Accubond but have been using the Berger for whitetail and antelope since 2012 and never had a...

    early review Eberlestock F1 Mainframe and F2 Transformer

    I recently purchased this frame along with the F2 Transformer pack, the scoped rifle scabbard, and the J type dry bag. This is just a preliminary review, I haven't put enough miles or use on it yet to give a thorough review. This is more my initial thoughts after a few hours use. I'll...

    Zeiss Dialyst vs Vortex Razor 65mm vs Swaro STM 65mm

    Just curious if anyone had compared these spotters. They are all similar in price range (Swaro must be found used) and by good companies. I have a buddy looking to buy one spotter for everything and looking to spend under $1500, hopefully around $1200. For his needs I think a more packable...

    Pack for Alaska moose hunt

    I'm considering getting a new pack for a moose hunt I have coming up in 2018 in Alaska. We will be hunting from a drop camp so I'll just need a daypack and way to pack meat. I currently have a J34 that works well as a daypack and to take out the first load of meat, then I go back in with my...

    Review of my optics set-up, maybe help those looking to purchase

    I went the long route to the optics I have now and spent more than was necessary. I'd get something a little better than what I had and end up selling it to upgrade later on. I ended up going top notch or darn close on everything in the long run and wish I'd have taken the shorter and cheaper...

    rifle mule deer hunt with 2pts non-resident

    The elk unit in Wyoming I hoped to draw this fall took 4 instead of 2pts to draw this year so I'm looking for somewhere to hunt. I really enjoy mule deer hunting and haven't had the opportunity to hunt them for a few years, so I'm thinking of giving it a shot this fall. I know I don't have...

    Swarovski SLC bino tripod adapter (fits 15x56)

    As I said in the adds for the tripods I'm selling, I switched to the Outdoorsman's system and no longer need this adapter. It's in as new condition and works great. Asking $100 shipped to the lower 48, and will ship it further but won't cover over $20 of the shipping. I can send pics via...

    I have a Promaster 525T carbon fiber tripod with a 6160 fluid head for sale. I have had it a couple years and it has worked very well for me. At 5'10" I can stand comfortably behind it fully extended with my Swaro 20-60x80 ATS scope. It can also compact and spread out to lay prone behind...

    Swarovski AT101 tripod w/ Promaster 6160 fluid head, spare adapter plate

    I have a really nice Swarovski AT101 tripod for sale with a Promaster 6160 fluid head and spare adapter plate. It hasn't seen much use, I bought it for windy conditions and never used it to much. It's a very stable tripod for glassing from camp, neat the truck, or at the shooting range. With...

    why no whitetail success thread?

    My muzzleloader buck from this year. First with the muzzle loader. 167 net 181 gross. A trail cam pic and a shot after I got him down. Warm weather had daylight activity way down, so I snuck in on the bedding area and got him there.

    Truck binos around $500

    I'm looking for some advice on some good truck binos. I have Leica Geovid binos I use hunting or on serious scouting trips, but I'm looking for something to carry in the ranch truck day to day that's decent enough to keep me from wanting to drag the Leicas out of the safe all the time. I will...

    2014 trail cam pics

    Great deer guys, always neat to see. Last year and this year's trail cam pics of the one I got yesterday with my muzzle loader. I think he must have injured himself last year, he had a goofy rack that resulted in us naming him Goofy.

    New optics, opinions wanted

    I have some money coming I want to use to expand my optics. I plan to splurge once on these and hopefully be done upgrading for at least the next decade, hopefully longer. As to my hunting style, I usually make a trip out west each fall for elk, muleys, or antelope. I put in lots of miles on...

    mountain rifle caliber?

    My new mountain rifle did great on it's first hunt. I got lucky and it likes the same 58gr H4831SC 140grAB load my American likes. It gets 2950fps with it's 24" barrel. I did lots of practice shooting, shot some yotes with it, and was ready for the mountains. Took a great 6x6 bull that net...

    Best choice for elk hunt of my rifles

    I'm headed to the Bighorn mountains in late October looking for a trophy bull. I'll be hunting in a unit I've visited several times before, got a broken up bull that would have been around 330" intact and a 300" 6pt. Due to my flinch and an issue with the Remington style safety I no longer have...

    Neighbor kid's 1st buck 141" 8pt

    I took a friend's son out and got his first buck tonight. It was on an early youth season hunt and he was down to the last night. They asked me last night but I was already committed to helping judge and participating in a family rodeo for the Cowboy Church so I couldn't take him. Tonight I...
