    Wanted: Wall Tent

    Okay, since I missed the last smokin' deal... My wife and I are looking for a Wall Tent; preferably 10' or 12' by 14' or 16' with a frame, a stove would be nice but not absolutely necessary. I realize I'm asking for a lot but thought I'd put out the feelers on here! Any help would be great!

    Grizzly Stick 650 Challenge

    Ladies & Gentlemen, I'm curious about this 650 Challenge and the experiences any of you have had with these products. I'm upgrading to a new Hoyt Nitrum @ 80lbs and have been considering going much heavier with my arrows and heads. The single bevel concept coupled with lots of FOC on the arrow...

    Any Interest in Duck Decoys?

    I realize this is a Big Game forum but I have several dozen assorted duck decoys that I'd like to let go after the season is over. They are in good to excellent condition. I'm just downsizing. I'd be willing to give them up for $50.00 dollars per dozen for standards (GHG) and $75.00 per dozen...

    Wife's First Antelope

    Hey All, First, my apologies for not getting this up more quickly but I've been very busy. My wife killed this decent buck on Opening Day of the season for her unit. She was a little picky but not much, made a great stalk, and executed a very nice one shot kill. I'm awfully proud of her; last...

    Non-Back Country Camp RV vs. Wall Tent

    I've hunted out of the back of my truck, a huge RV, and numerous wall tents during my tenure as a hunter. I've even slept in my duck boat on Saginaw Bay and Little Bay De Noc. However, the RV's and Wall Tents have always been someone else's but last weekend my wife and I set up our first "on our...

    "Old" Members Introduction (with pics)

    Well I guess this has been a long time coming. First, I live to glorify my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ but admittedly fall woefully short all too often. Second, keep my beautiful wife priority number two and as happy as possible. Third, hunt & fish as much as humanly possible while maintaining...

    Great Reads!

    I thought that this would be a good time to find out what everyone is reading or wants to read. Being close to Christmas there could possibly be gift ideas that arise or just reading material for the deerstand. Yes, the deerstand; where I grew up deer hunting consisted of sitting in sub-zero...

    Well Ladies and Gentlemen I am moving to the basin, Thermopolis to be specific. I was given a wonderful opportunity for a great job there and have pounced on it.

    Eating Tags: The Whole Experience!

    Well, here it is going on November and I've eaten two valuable elk tags. Not for lack of trying mind you. My Wyoming archery tag was left unfilled due to poor range estimation and an arrow thus sent low. Several opportunities were "passed" on, and two other bulls of my hunting partners made...

    Fall 2011 On the Mountain

    I finally moved from the Black Hills of Wyoming to an area that feeds my wilder side. The Big Horns. I realize they are not Alaska or the bear trodden, wolf prowled, west side of this amazing state but the vast forests and room to roam feed my soul and spark the steel of my heart to the flint of...
