I have been reading Eastmans Hunting Journal and I am curious as to others opinions on a certain subject.
A few months back there was an article about a gentleman who shot a really nice buck and he was bragging about not using a guide service. But this gentleman assembled one heck of a team to...
Last night while eating dinner, I looked at my wife and said," I shoot should shoot a spike every year, this guy is really good."
While I like to look at the herd bulls on my wall, the spikes have been the tastiest. I really do enjoy that Idaho lets you hunt elk every year with an otc tag...
since this winter has been a no show. which for me sucks big time. We decided not to do a winter trip(which sucks, I love winter more than hunting) but take the allotted time off and go rafting. I saw on recreation.gov a permit for the desolation canyon in eastern Utah. We will be putting in...
seven summits trail out of rossland, bc. the ridge top trail crosses 7 summits in the 21 miles. 4400 feet of climbing and 7000 feet of descending. typically takes me about 6 hours to complete. I love these style mountain bike rides. do this all summer, elk season is a breeze.
I tend to...
I might not be the guy to answer about the 250-300 bikes. I tend to ride high end bikes.
But at that price point, stay away from suspension. Front or rear. You will get better components on the bike if you forgo suspension. I want to say once you are in the 700+ range start adding...

will your trailer keep your bike up right? I am not going to deny, I have had to do some Houdini moves attatching the loaded bob onto the bike by myself. once rolling though, the bob just tracks right behind me. I have cruised on some single track with it behind me.
these are trail...
same bear on the wall, real nice pelt, he was eating grass. I don't even think of bears until june. to much snow to get around in april or may and I am still snowmobiling.
you will be fine. some areas you can't get into until june.
Here is a 6'4 bear killed june 10 th in a very wet rain storm. we couldn't get up to the ridgetop do to 5 feet of snow still.
I have the just one and a gunrunner. I have packed a lot of elk and such with my j34. I wouldn't buy a new pack just for this hunt. If you where doing a 5 day backpack hunt, I would get another pack. But for what you are describing. use what you got. learn for next time and than decide...
here are some more pics.
All from bike hunting. my 2011 hunt, great hunt, lots of packing. the camp is set up on a skid trail off of the gated road.
I got more pics,
I do.
I first started hunting off of bikes in Alaska in the early 90's. mainly spruce hens, and ptarmigain. Moved back to Idaho and got into kayaking and didn't hunt much. In 2002 I shot a spike on a gated road and used my bike and trailer to pack out. In 2006 I started hauling camps...
Thanks kifaru, your tents have been good to me. I have been using your 4 man teepee for a few years. the wood heat is nice. your super tarp has been extremely useful. I could use a new sleeping bag for a backpack hunt in the selway next September.
forgot to add, I would like to get an 8...
I just wanted to see if there was any other .270 wsm fans? The caliber has been good to me for deer, bear and sheep. I did shoot a bull elk with it this year, but will probably go back to my .338 for elk.
For me atleast, 4x12 scope and 140 gr accubonds, seems to be a good combo in the...
I am doing a remote mule deer hunt in mid November. I was wondering if whitetail grunt tubes, rattling and can calls work on mulie's during the rut?
thanks
tim
How come no whitetail success thread? This idaho boy has to travel big time to find muleys but whitetails are everywhere.
Lets show some love for those cagey whitetail bucks.
