After watching a variety of bino harness/pack reviews (including the AGC review on this forum), I ordered an AGC and received it in the mail in just a few days. Looks good, and will be trying it out on a cow elk hunt in October. I did have to remind myself several times to NOT get one of the...

I had to laugh Scott when I looked at the picture, wondering why a half eaten ice-cream sandwich was on your new bench. Upon further inspection, I saw that it was a folded over piece of sandpaper. If you eat that for desert, then you are sure one tough SOB.

I would guess that the vast majority of NRs who actually hunt in Wyoming are like me and only use their points to draw a GENERAL area tag, in areas that residents can hunt every year if they don't draw a limited tag. My age and point creep are coming together to close off that option one of...

BC; You da man BUFF BOY!! For 40 years I told myself that anyone that I couldn't beat up I could at least out run. You are a definite exception.

I spent the day digging out a cracked sewer line to my guest cabin. I can't use the backhoe because of the intact water line in the same trench. I will be back at it and keep on digging until I find solid pipe. You don't need expensive exercise equipment as long as you have a shovel (or a...

Best to carry a gun in both places.

I am so jealous. Somebody take me along....PLEASE. Have a great time.

I never saw that until you posted it. Think about that.

Carry a small canister of OC with you on your outdoor runs. I have had to use it several times on aggressive dogs. As a cop, I always had some available, and found that the older CN or CS (tear gas) was not nearly as effective as the newer OC. If it works on Griz, a Rottweiler shouldn't be...

I've been off the grid for the last 3 weeks...first with computer issues, and the last 10 days with a canoe trip in the Boundary Waters Wilderness. I guided 5 Boy Scouts and 3 adults along the border country for 75 miles. My pack training served me well, as my endurance and strength were not...

Inreach Mini. It seems to work everywhere, and if you a phone savy you can link them and text from your phone. I'm not.

I have scads of packs, mostly for canoe trips, but have acquired a variety of backpack packs from Granite Gear (since they are made here), and two dedicated hunting packs. My go-to for years was the Eberlestock J34 Just One. It is heavy, just by itself, and i find that I just keep stuffing it...

Upped the wt. of the pack a bit and shaved 2 minutes off the 3.4 mile fast pack. Unfortunately, I paid for it with hip pain most of the night. There's not much you can do when the bones wear out except just keep on trucking. The 9 day canoe trip leaves on the 21st, and our likely route...

Sorry, didn't want to insult you. FFG = Former Fat Guy

BC, that's crunching it. I just came off my 2 day diet at weighed in at 180# this AM. I haven't been there since my running days. When I was 23 I maxed the Marine Corps PFT, and pumped out the 3 mile run at 17:27 min. On my first marathon I didn't know any better and was near the start with...

Except for my time in the Marine Corps, I have lived in the Peoples Republik of Minnesota all my life. I would have moved to Wyoming years ago & saved $5K a year on taxes and several thousand on tags and points. But, most of my family is here, and like CC have invested too much into my home...

As is stands right now, it will take 5 years (4 pts. plus the application year) to draw a WY GEN elk tag. I would suggest that before hunting a new area it is a good idea to consider a trip or two to look it over. I have hunted deer in H 4 times before my 2020 hunt, and during a family trip I...

I have hunted elk in the Gros Ventre Wilderness (guided), and would have had zero chance of getting an elk out without horses. I have hunted and packed out deer in H, which encompasses this area, and again would not consider shooting an elk on a DIY hunt. Much of the land along the river and...

With Canada shut down, I am looking around for some alternative adventures. I can't get into the Northwest Territories, but am still holding out hope for Ontario by August. If so, there's a fly-in fishing trip on the docket, but the 70 mile backpack trip in the Pukasaw National Park (no. shore...

Randy; I found your name on my old PMs, but not your phone #. I will send you a PM with my contact info; Rick
