Bikini, period. They are cheap and extremely effective. I also use a small section of a thin sandwich bag on the end of my barrel taped on. Black tape over the end has worked fine but I like as little plugging the end as possible. I also keep the action tucked into my body to limit the...

Even in last years draw you would have only had 50% odds with 4.5 PP. Not a case of point creep getting you but rather being mislead by the outfitter. I can only think of a couple of scenarios on why; 1- outfitter thought there would be fewer applicants with Covid-19 and really thought you...

To be honest I have no desire to hunt them and I am questioning how much of an impact a hunting season would have on bear attacks. I have read studies that suggest it would take several generations before hunting had a positive effect on removing more aggressive bears vs bears that are more...

Started my one arrow per weekday routine today. Will shoot more on the weekends. This method has helped me a lot in previous years when I have been disciplined enough to do it. Starting off easy... I do random distances for the one a day. Today was 33 yards.

Wow, sorry to hear that. I suppose you have a deposit in with them so can't walk away?

Just curious, why did you choose to apply for area 108 without a plan? It's a great area but to make the most of the tag you really need private land access imo. Out West Safaris controls a good percentage of the area. If you are willing to pay, you will shoot a good bull.

It would be worth a call tomorrow. You sure everyone paid special? In regular draw, you needed 5.

As a former guide, I can tell you that most of us really relied on tips. Guide wages are fairly low in general and we put a lot of wear on our personal equipment and vehicles. Tip what you can and what you think the guide deserves, show appreciation, and you will make a friend. Most guides...

Shooting my bow seriously now... Elk tag in pocket changes focus. What virus?

My son and I picked his geese up today. He was super excited. He sat and stared at them for over an hour.

I have heard a lot with three were successful. No odds posted yet.... Stay tuned

No draw odds posted for elk yet... Kind of strange.

Those Vortex are awesome binoculars imo. I love mine

Mature Mule Deer bucks are a lot smarter than most people give them credit for. They will sometimes live very close to roads or in other spots that just don't make sense. One of my favorite spots for big deer is an area that 90% of hunters drive past to get to "the good areas". Keep that in...

If there were tags left over, it was a 100% draw for second choice. That area of the state isn't very popular mainly due to the lack of public land. Plenty of antelope on private. I don't foresee that changing for this season, especially with the virus concerns. Enjoy the hunt!

Those are great brook trout!

Here is a thought that dates back to some of my biology classes 20+ years ago. One professor I had proposed that hunting, over the course of many years, would change a populations typical response and behavior to people. His reasoning was that animals that naturally showed less fear for people...

That's a heck of a day goose hunting! Nice job getting the kid out at the right time. He may be "ruined" from it but he will probably try to duplicate it forever.

Is the experience or dead elk more important? The archery experience is considerably better to me but you have much higher odds of filling tags during rifle. I think pressure between the two was similar for me 2 years ago. I hunted 7 days of archery, didn't fill so came back for a few days of...
