I only use my phone as well. Provided I stay in airplane mode and only check it occasionally, it easily lasts two days. My wife likes to see photos of my trips so I use it for that too. With a battery pack I can stay out as long as I want. It's easy to forget that besides cell access, a major...

Yep. In peoples' closets.

Third that. I draw every year, without fail. I just focus on zones that are over their population targets and where in previous years there was leftover quota. Sure I don't have a big emperor mount on my wall, but I have meat in the freezer every year and I'm pretty happy about it. Just my...

I guess it depends what you want to do with it. I know a backpacker who'd call a trash bag an "ultralight pack." :D I'm always looking to cut pack weight so I went through the same research process. I decided I wanted three pack setups, for the most flexibility: 1. An extended-range pack that...

No b/c size and weight, as others said above. I largely focus on elk and do a lot of timber stalking. Smaller the better. I'm not worried about hearing loss from one shot a year. Range, yes, hunting no.

I hunt in CO and I'm not really worried about bears. My rifle is enough. I do stay very aware of my surroundings, and I top off my rifle so it's not empty if I need it in a hurry. To be honest I'm more worried about people than bears, but it's a risk I take. If I ever hunt (or even backpack) in...

That's why I like Havalon's new Talon. No way am I breaking one of these blades. I think they're honestly stronger than my steak knives.

Actually sorry I wasn't more specific, this is a cow hunt that I'm looking at. I only ever cut a skull plate once and it was a huge pain in the butt, at least the way I did it, but at least I had the antlers to hold onto. What do y'all do with a cow?

I'm going to be hunting out of state this year and on the chance I get lucky, I'm trying to figure out how to complex with the combination of evidence of sex but no-brain-matter-across-state-lines transport (CWD) requirements. I know the answer is to cut the top of the head plate off and leave...

I use a traditional wet/dry stone for kitchen knives. I also have one of those fancy things with the long rod that you clamp different stones onto, and it works great, but as said above it takes too much time. Honestly for most of my knives I tend to abuse the heck out of them, at least the one...

Wow, congrats. I couldn't even make it through my first marriage for 18 years. :D

I groan every time I hit the CPW Web site, but at least it's gotten better over the past few years. Good luck guys. I'm on my last of a 4-year points rotation, so this is another PP > EasyDrawZone combo, one I'm sure I'll get. Next year will be the nail biter for me...

Tell you one thing, even during this "sky is falling" run on ammo I can still consistently get 7mm-08 ammo in my local store. Almost nothing else is there, and I don't have a choice of brands, but I can get it.

You guys are like a walking My Name is Earl episode :D

I actually do the same! I'm the forgetful sort, so I have a short checklist. I literally forgot to take any selfies last year - I've never been much of a photographer so I don't really think about it. I got home and my wife was like "where's your kill shot, I want to share it with our family?"...

Darn. I was hoping to hunt Montana soon. Guess I'll look elsewhere.

There was one just last year near Pagosa Springs: https://durangoherald.com/articles/329968 That's not too far from you, Colorado Cowboy, isn't it? I remember that story because I had gone up that same road literally the day before with my own trailer.

My time to shine. I have all of these, and have probably also owned every weird-o product to come along over the years. (Anybody ever use a Boxee Box?) IMO the very best option you can get "for most purposes" is a TV with Roku built in. It's really hard to beat a simple, all-in-one solution...

I've seen the truck tire thing but I personally wouldn't recommend it. Truck tires are typically inflated to 45psi or so and are designed to provide a balance between traction in ice/snow, gas mileage, ride comfort, and long life. Trailers have different needs. Their wheels aren't powered, gas...

I love my Eberlestock J34 "Just One" but not gonna lie, their packs are often kind of "weird". I use it as my hauler and it's nice to know if I need to, I can use it as a multi-day because I have the duffel for it. But between the floppy lid and the way the belt never seemed to sit right on my...
