One of my favorite and most useful tactices is listening for bugles in the dark. Sometimes while walking a ridge or road. This year I will be bow hunting in grizzley country. So, do you guys more familar with grizzley still recommend this tactic, or is it too dangerous? FYI, I will be with a...

OK, here's a question for you backcountry folk. Do you like to hide your spike/backpack camp from other hunters, or do you like to keep it out in the open to hopefully detour others from coming to your respective basin, ridge, or wherever? I'n the past I've liked to keep my camp tucked away...

I've got a buddy that's been competing (for fun, but seriously) in Highland games for years now. He tried to recruit me into in back in the day, but I didn't have any interest at the time. Now, I was just looking through some of his pics and its seems pretty damn cool. I'm always down for...

Are there any areas a guy can buy an OTC or leftover Antelope tag? I've never hunted them before, but looks like a lot of fun. Archery would be my first choice, but I'd be open to a rifle hunt depending on the timing. Thanks guys

So, like the title says. I've been an avid archery hunter since I was 11, but have only owned and hunted with a couple rifles in my life. And, am pretty "green" when it comes to selecting a good caliber, and model for hunting. First of all, I plan on exclusively using my bow for an future deer...

Been calling around to a bunch of outfitters in NM for a Gila NF hunt for archery. I got in touch with Joe Miller of Harrington Ranch, and I'm having him send me a list of references and contract so I can apply in the outfitters draw. Does anyone here have any experience with him or his outfit...

I think I probably already know the answer to this... But, are there any units for elk in Arizona that are worth applying for with 2 going on 3 points? To clarify, this will be my 3rd year applying in AZ, and my plan has been to just shoot for the moon and put in the for top units. Then, just...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D95GhF5iMk8 I'm assuming some of you on here have heard of Westside barbell and Louie Simmons, but probably most have not. I'm not gonna say a lot about him or his training methods, other than "he is hands down the best strength coach on the planet, period" I've...

Has anyone used them for a fly-in DIY moose or Caribou hunt before? Looking at them for 2017. Leaning towards Caribou, but might go moose depending on $$$. Thanks All

So besides my yearly applications and my OTC hunts, I think I may only hire a fully guided hunt perhaps once in my life. So, if I'm gonna go to AK and pay a guide I'm sure I'd like to do a combo hunt to get as much bang for my buck and memories as I can. I see a lot of outfitters offering combo...

I see a few fellow Washingtonians on here. Anyone ever done a early season high Alpine hunt archery? I know the early rifle is pretty popular, but only done the late archery. Anyone who's done it, I'd love to pick your brains . Thanks gents

Hey gang, curious to find out the best ice/ mixture that will last the longest. I had read that a 50/50 mix of wet and dry ice works the best, so last year that is what I went with. I left it for about 1 week in September in Wy in a basic igloo cooler. To my surprise when I got back to the truck...

Hello, I'm looking for some different quiver options that will work with my HHA sight with the slide wheel. Right now I just have a basic quiver attached to my sight with a large spacer to clear the adjuster knob on my sight. The obvious problem is; it sites waaaay out from the bow and causes a...

Doing a little daydreaming, though this might be a fun thread. If everything goes according to plan this season, what would that look like for you? Mine would go something like this: September- Mature 6x6 or better Archery Bull elk in either NM, CO, or WA (depending on draw) Mature 4x4...

Looking into 54 for archery Mule Deer and Elk. I think it makes sense to put in for first choice deer and 2nd choice elk. I believe my odds are pretty good to draw those with only 1 point. If I miss on either of those, I could still do and OTC elk hunt in 53. This is all from research. I've...

http://www.t-nation.com/diet-fat-loss/a-calorie-is-sometimes-not-a-calorie Been reading through some of the Getting in Shape for the Hunt posts, and I see a lot of members are on diets or trying to loose some weight for hunting season. Having been a trainer and competitor for almost 10yrs, I've...

The title says it. What would you guys say are the best binos for around $200? I see the Vortex Diamond Backs at Cabelas have a lot of pretty positive reviews... Optics are the one piece of gear I've always kinda skimped on, and I've always had trouble with. Over the past few years I've been...

Went to a large Sportsmans show over the weekend and started chatting with a Moose/Black Bear outfitter operating in British Columbia. He is selling a "Semi-guided" hunt for his area in Canada... I ask him how this is possible and he tells me, that BC changed the law in 2015 to include...

Hello brothers and sisters. I'm starting to do some planning of my fall-back hunt if I don't draw any controlled hunts in any states. Of course Idaho is at the top of my list for OTC Elk hunting opportunities. I've talked with a few guides and a couple biologists, and I'm hearing some good...

Hello hunting brothers and sisters. My wife an I are dreaming of owning a small (10-20 acre) piece of land in either Idaho or Montana. To build a cabin on. We live in WA state. I want something with trophy potential elk and possibly deer. She wants to be near one or more ski good ski resorts...
