    UTV users

    I have a 2015 mid-sized Polaris Ranger 570, and have close to 4K miles on it with no mechanical issues. You have to keep in mind that this is more of a "utility" type of UTV, rather than a serious off-roader. You can get everything that you want or need as far as power, speed, comfort, back...

    Mountain Mule Deer 2019

    I went 23 days without seeing another human being on a wilderness trip many years ago. I wouldn't want to replicate that now, but my favorite hunts the last few years were solo jaunts in the mountains where I shot my smallest mule deer, and the other was my first cow elk. Lots of bigger...

    The Buck I Missed

    Nice deer Trent. Hunting mule deer in a T-shirt. must be a Nevada thing.

    Decoy for bucks

    I watched a herd of about 50 spook and run from one wiley coyote a few years ago. The bunch was about a half mile away on private land, and we watched them from our camp for over an hour. The coyote was working the fringes of the herd, and he finally got too close. The group came to within...

    Mountain Mule Deer 2019

    Great story Joseph; Those solo hunts that come together like that are something special. No one can fully understand it if they haven't experienced it themselves. Hunting with family/friends has a place, but sometimes you just have to march to that different drummer. You may shoot bigger...

    Bighorn Basin - Lodging/Food

    We were just south of Tensleep in antelope area 115 (deer area 164/40), 3 days of fog, rain, sleet, & snow. We hunted on foot from camp until it cleared, and then headed out on two Polaris Rangers. One of our older guys can barely walk, so it was time for him to get out of camp...

    Bighorn Basin - Lodging/Food

    Beware if the Gumbo, as it was beyond horrible a couple weeks ago, and it doesn't look like it has had much opportunity to dry out.

    CO and WY trips

    It initially posts the photo, but it immediately wipes it out and says that it is too big. All my pics are taken with a 20.3 mega pixel camera on the "quality" setting. I know that is a lot of data, but the photos posted just fine on the old format.

    CO and WY trips

    Much of my fall has been spent out west hunting, and before I give a full update I wanted to figure out the photo download. The pics are in my file, so lets see if they will post. SORRY, NO GO. When I try to attach photos, it states, "The uploaded image is too big." This is why I hate it...

    bear spray

    Much of what works best for you depends on what else you are packing. I put the bear spray on my pack belt when hiking with a pack, as I also have a bino harness on also. Practice rapid deployment with your buds including removal of the safety tab. You are more apt to execute what you...

    hiking vs jogging to prepare

    I had to quit running about 17 years ago due to arthritis, but have found other ways to stay in shape. For my hunts this year, I concentrated on pack training, hiking 3 1/2 miles daily for the six weeks before my first trip. I slowly upped the weight (40# during the final week), and used...

    Leaving In The AM

    I saw a great sweatshirt a while ago that will make a great Christmas present for your Bro-in-Law, "It'll Buff Out". I thought I would buy one to put in reserve for my next major mishap. Happy hunting Jim.

    Well hooked a new guy

    You gotta love it when a plan comes together. Don't denigrate the doe hunting, because in my experience they are often tougher to hang a tag on then the bucks.

    Home From Wyoming Antelope & Deer Hunt

    Hunting was a lot tougher this time for our doe tags. First off, the antelope numbers seem to be way down from previous trips, this is my 4th trip in the same area since 2015. I took a 78 yr. old with mobility issues, his son who just got out of the Air Force after 24 years and missed all those...

    Home From Wyoming Antelope & Deer Hunt

    I just got back yesterday myself Roger. We were in central WY, and the weather definitely wasn't on our side. Nothing like some wind, sleet, snow, fog, and oh yeah, GUMBO mud to deal with. Never-the-less, a fun time was had by most. Welcome home.

    Who else is...

    I just write my post, then click on the insert image icon above. That brings up my stored gallery, and I upload the chosen image(s). It was no problem in the past, but now it shows the photos take up too much memory to post.?????? I' m heading to WY at 4:30am tomorrow, so I won't sweat it...
