    Need advice on Puffy "suit"

    Looking to lighten my pack for next season. What is a good, yet reasonably priced, puffy jacket and pant? I'd assume the pants would have a lower leg zipper for pulling over boots. Like to keep the price <$300 for both. Thanks guys!

    Hunting 2017

    I know that all the 2016 seasons are not closed, but it's time to start thinking about next year with some application deadlines looming in approximately 45 days. What are everyone's plans for next hunting season? I'm currently leaning toward an elk hunt in either ID/MO/CO, or a mulie hunt in...

    Atv ?

    Couple quick questions before I head out next month to Montana; Where are folks allowed to drive atv/utv in Montana? State Land and BLM? Just on 2 track roads? I don't want to deal with them, so wondering what the regulations are. Could not find much on the website and all I got was voicemail...

    Heading for Wyoming tomorrow-Sunday @ 6AM

    Truck is loaded down and under my new fabricated truck cap. Bought it for $50 and cut/reframed the door to fit and finished with a high gloss automotive paint and enamel. Turned out really nice. Put on two new locking handles as well. I'll be antelope hunting in Wyoming for 5 days, but I packed...

    GPS Chip Retailer

    Who on this site sells the OnX map chips? I know we have a rep on the forum, but can't remember who. My local cabalas is not carrying what I want and not sure on anything due to the entire Bass Pro scenario. Thanks guys!

    BC Question

    At what point does the bullet's BC really matter? I've read the information on Hornady's site and it seems apparent that it's irrelevant until you pass the approx. 500 yd mark. Is this truly the case? Reason I ask is I've seen many guys shooting 140-150 grain bullets out of 300wsm and 300wm. I'm...

    Antelope Appl. Question

    What is a good unit to apply for as a 1st choice and NOT draw. I want to draw my second choice. I have 5pts and my buddy has 1. This is an average of 3. I was thinking of putting unit 73 as my first choice in hopes of NOT drawing. Thoughts? Is there a better option? Thanks guys!

    Grizz Killing

    I'm sure some of you have heard this story: There are more than 750 grizzly bears in and around Yellowstone National Park, but none as famed as a brawny, cocoa-colored male dubbed No. 211. He was best known by his nickname, which was inspired by his fight-maimed face and damaged right ear...

    Reduced Doe Fawn Permits

    Need some clarification - am I interrupting the WY G&F rules correctly? The reduced Doe/Fawn permits seem to only be available for private land or, if on public, are for whitetail deer only. I will be in the cowboy state in October (antelope) and was hoping to pickup a cheap doe permit for the...

    A Little humor

    My teacher was talking about animals in class. She asked each one of us what our favorite live animal was. When it came to me I said it was fried chicken. She said that was not funny even though all the others in the class laughed. She sent me to the principals office. The principal asked why I...

    Browning

    Narrowing down my gun research: What are the thoughts on the Browning X-Bolt Long Range Hunter (synthetic/stainless)? I'm leaning toward purchasing this rifle in a 7mag and wanted to hear of any points, good or bad, concerning this rifle. I think it has a good 'feel' and I like the look of it...

    WY PL Question

    I looked on the WY website, but can't seem to find where and how much public land is available in certain units-obviously not as much as on the western side of the state. I am trying to apply for a 1st choice pp and draw a fun hunt on a 2nd choice. I've gathered a short list of available units...

    Caliber Question

    Go easy as I'm a rookie on this stuff and was just curious. :-) What is the difference between the Nosler 26 and the soon to be released Nosler 28? How close are these to the Creedmore or 7MM or 300Mag? I recently read less kick and better ballistics than their counterparts. Just for the...

    GPS Sale Question

    Cabala's is running a sale on the Garmin Oregon 650T for $369.99 Regular price is around $550. I know there are tons of treads on basic GPS issues on the forum, but my questions are of a different nature? 1. Is this a good sale price or should I keep looking? From what I've seen, it seems good...

    It's just the begining....

    From the web, it won't be long before we can't ship elk & deer with these silly folks: Big game hunters who fly Delta or American airlines are going to have to find another way of getting their gory trophies home. “Effective immediately, Delta will officially ban shipment of all lion, leopard...
