I'm taking my son who turns 8 in October with me on what will be his first big Western hunting trip. I'm looking at unit 704 or 705 for deer and I'm hoping to find some places that wont be too strenuous for him but that wont be road hunting either. This will be his first big hunting trip and...

Kuiu Icon Pro 1800 5200 and 7200 packs with tall frame and L/XL suspension. Also includes 2 hip pouches and a bow sling attachment. 5200 pack has been used on 2 hunts, 7200 pack was taken on 1 hunt, and 1800 pack has never been used. No tears, rips, or stains. Nothing at all wrong with these...

So I unexpectedly drew a SD mule deer tag in unit 35L (Custer National Forest) and haven’t been able to find very much info about the unit anywhere. Was hoping somebody might have some pointers on the unit as I don’t have the first clue where to start. Unfortunately I’m about 15 hours away in OK...

Im planning my first archery mule deer hunt in unit 27 for January 2019. I?ve read over everything I can find on the unit on the G&F website and have scoured the forums for everything I could find. Was hoping some of you guys may have some advice for good places to set up camp? We?ll be in a...

I've got a 3rd season deer tag for 551 and was hoping someone may have some experience in this area? Looking for some general areas worth looking over. I may try to make a trip out from Oklahoma this summer to get eyes on before season starts. Would love to find some areas where I may be able...

I'm heading up to the Stanley/challis area for mule deer in a few days and saw they're getting some good cold weather and snow. Anyone starting to see any good rut activity yet?

I'm headed up to unit 27 a week from today for mule deer (also have a wolf tag) and was wondering if anyone has hunted the middle fork area? I've got a flight chartered and am just trying to narrow down which landing strip I want to fly into. I'm looking at indian creek, thomas creek, and...

I'm leaving in a few weeks for a 7 day backpack hunt in Idaho and I'm trying to decide how I want to pack my rifle. Last year I put the butt of the rifle in the side pocket and used compression straps to cinch it up tight. No real complaints but I was wondering if there's a better way. I've...

I'll be hunting with a new rifle this year and I'm on the hunt for a new sling for it. I've got the flush cup side mounts in the stock and i'll be taking it on a 7 day backpack hunt in Idaho in a few weeks. Weight is a consideration but I also don't want something so minimalist that its...

Going on a backcountry backpack hunt in Idaho this October and I'm looking to pick up a different tripod. Right now I've got my scope mounted on a pretty lightweight vortex tripod but I don't think it's quite sturdy enough for that big of a scope. Any time I loosen up the nut to pan, the scope...

I'm headed to central Idaho for a deer hunt in mid October and I've decided to pick up a pair of Tibets as we will be backpack hunting in pretty steep territory. I don't anticipate needing to wade across any creeks or anything... I'm thinking worst case scenario is wet vegetation in the...

Looks like i'm not going to draw any tags this year unless I get lucky and draw my Idaho controlled mulie tag or my Wyoming mulie tag which isn't very likely. As a backup i'm planning on hunting mule deer (will have wolf tag also) in the Frank Church wilderness units... 26, 27, or 20A. I'm...

My buddy and I are leaving for Casper tomorrow night with a couple of unit 25 antelope tags. This was our 3rd choice fall back and basically just an add on to a cow elk tag and mule deer buck tag that we have in the Laramie peak area in the days following. I have the delorme map, the BLM maps...

REI is running a 4th of July sale for the Copper Spur UL2. They've got it for $299 right now (normally $400). I've been waiting on a good sale to snag one and I just picked mine up. They already ran out but they're taking backorders at the sale price and its free shipping. Just a heads up in...

So I had my plans for Wyoming 2015 all set out. I drew a unit 7 cow tag and put in first choice for antelope in unit 38. There have been more tags then first choice applicants in past years (roughly 120 tags for 100 applicants in 2014) and it overlaps my elk area. I have the Garmin landowner...

So Im getting stuff together for an October Wyoming pronghorn/elk/mule deer hunt and I was all set to buy a set of Kuiu gear. I was looking at the guide jacket, guide pants, and maybe a puffy jacket for the elk/deer hunting, and the attack pants and a lightweight top for the antelope hunting...

I'll be going on my first western hunt this year in Wyoming for elk and you mule deer. I have been hunting in the Midwest all of my life but most of the places I go, I can drive a truck or four wheeler fairly close to where I'm hunting so clothing weight/mobility isnt an issue. I have lots of...

I recently purchased a Garmin Montana 650T and am looking at picking up a landowner chip for an upcoming hunt in Wyoming. Has anyone had any experience with the onXmaps chip or do you have experience with any others that you would recommend? The onXmaps Website says that it shows BLM and...

I've fished Alaska once on the Kenai river but have never had the opportunity to hunt there. A buddy and I are finally in the early planning stages for a DIY alaskan moose hunt. Looking at 2016 or 2017 probably. I was just wondering if anyone had used or heard about any airtaxi companies up...

I'm probably getting into the game pretty late relatively speaking (31) but I'm looking to start applying for mountain goat points/tag. I probably can't afford to apply in more than one, possibly two states given the price of the tag so I'm wondering what my best bet would be? Ive heard Utah...
