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...

Hello fellow members, I am looking to do an-unguided archery Elk hunt in New Mexico next year, and I'd like to concentrate my efforts around the Gila Forest specifically units 16B, D, and 17 most likely. Since you get much better odds when applying if you contract with an outfitter, I am...

All my go to Archery muley spots are on fire. Any members living in E. Wash have a feel for how these fires are affecting the heard, and where they may be pushed into?

Hi group, Looking for a back country packer for my solo archery elk hunt coming up in September in the Greys river area. Any ideas? Thanks guys

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, or if its been asked a million times here. But, why can't I just use my android phone with some GPS software (Ex. Trimble) instead of an expensive GPS unit for a back country hunt? My understanding is they use satellites not cell towers, so it really...

Hey gang, I don't know about you, but I've never been able to find a good archery target that I like. First of all, they're all too small. I just bought an HHA single pin sight for this off-season with the intent of stretching my range out to at least 80 yards. But it's nerve racking trying to...

Forum bro's, I'm looking for ideas to apply for a decent muley hunt with zero points. I don't expect to score a trophy unit, but I'd like to know units in states that I'd at least have a "chance" of drawing with zero points. I've heard there may be some areas in Utah that aren't impossible...

How many of you carry a spotting scope for your backcountry hunting trips? Archery mainly... I've always hunting the heavy timber of Washington, so they are kinda useless. I'm planning to hunt wyoming archery elk this year, and hopefully a muzzleloader muley hunt somewhere. If so, any...

I'm still leaning towards doing a DIY Archery Elk hunt for wyoming this year but I'm still considering hiring an outfitter. Now, pretty much all the outfitters I've checked that guide in the wilderness area's are booked out for 2015, but I figured with the draw results being released soon...

You guys have any good discount hunting gear websites you'd be willing to share? Right now I'm always checking Camofire and promotive, but it seems like they just get leftovers because they never seem to have clothes in my size unfortunatly. Thanks Gents

Hey fellas, I'm looking for some resources like videos or DVDs, or maybe even seminars on learning how to elk call like a pro. I've had some decent luck with hand held cow calls, but I'd really like to use mouth reeds and be able to bugle. I've turkey called with reeds before and picked it...

Anyone have any experience with this pack, or their products in general? Seems like a good pack for that price-point...Thoughts
