4 of us are planning a 2022 Sitka Blacktail hunt on Kodiak. One of the guys farms a lot of acres with his family, so harvest eliminates September and October for him. That leaves us looking at either August or November. Our very tentative current plan is to fly in at the very end of October...

I'm going on a caribou hunt this fall out of Kotzebue Sept 17 to 24 with a couple friends. It will be our first caribou hunt, and our first time on the tundra. I've had some time on some bad weather days to put together my initial gear list of what I am thinking of taking. I'm sure I have...

Anyone tried any insoles that help with this? I went to the doctor today and he told me I should not wear my cowboy boots every day, gave me some stretches to do, and told me to stay off my feet when possible. Working on the ranch staying off my feet won’t work, going to do the other options. I...

We got back last Monday from our 2019 Colorado muley hunt. Two of us went, myself and Dean, the friend I always hunt with on the destination hunts It was a grind of a hunt but turned out successful in the end. We scouted the unit for 4 days mid-summer. We saw few deer but learned a lot of...

I just came in from trying these through my Rifles Inc 300 win mag. Results were very promising, I shot 3 groups 3 shots each at 100 yards. I let the barrel cool for an hour between groups. 8 of the 9 shots would have gone under 1/2", the ninth still stayed under 1". The odd shot was my...

I just got home from spending 3 days scouting a unit in NW Colorado I drew for 2nd season muleys. Conditions weren't ideal with the heat and full moon, but it was when I could get away to do it. A buddy went along and we saw very few deer, 6 total in 3 days. We were out from before daylight...

I had time between rains today to shoot a little bit. I just purchased a S&W 69 I started another thread on and thought I'd shoot my 357's also. I figured while it's raining again I'd do a quick review of what I have for anyone interested in buying one. I think they are a pretty versatile...

I found a deal on a used S&W 69 5 shot 44 mag revolver recently and got it picked up today. I have been selling a few rifles that don't get used much and replacing them with a few more handguns. I recently got the Glock 20 I've been trying to get to run hardcast well and decided to pick this one...

I am looking at burning 5 Colorado points after failing to draw the WY elk tag I applied for again. This is a unit I was considering. Anyone have any experience with it? Thanks for any help you can give.

I have been working on some handloads for my 25-06. I burned out the barrel in my Dad's old 670 Winchester 243. The 670 is pretty much a lower end push feed 70 that used a long action for everything. Anyway after burning out the barrel I decided to fix up the old rifle and had it re-built with...

I have been thinking of getting a warmer puffy jacket. I have the Kifaru Lost Park currently. I sold my pull over version and bought the full zip when it came out, and although I really like it for a lot of hunts I don't think it's as warm as the other one. I have mainly been layering it over...

I am supposed to help a buddies wife pick out a scope for his 243. It's a Ruger American Compact he got for a truck gun and coyote calling. The price range is under $400. He doesn't need to dial, extra crosshairs, or anything fancy just a good reliable scope. Thanks! Features needed in...

This tarp is one of the simplest but slickest shelters I've tried, and priced pretty decent for what it is. It's a 10x10 tarp with a re-enforced spot in the center for a stick or trekking pole. I used mine for the first time Friday camping on the river. We set up on an exposed sandbar to fish...

I got a pair of coyotes today. We had a heifer prematurely abort a calf today and I saw a coyote circling trying to get at the calf while feeding. I got a clear angle and dropped it at 220yds with my 25-06 and a 100gr Ballistic tip. It was sitting on it's butt and broadside looking at the...

Last 2 nights have been the best calling of my life, 6 yotes in 3 stands. Tonight I went out again at 3:30 to try calling. Wind was considerably stronger at 15mph from SSE. I set up with the call/decoy on one side of a finger of a pasture draw and I sat next to a little thicket on the other...

I got out calling for the first time this fall today. I usually get started quicker but this year it didn't happen. With a SE wind I could hunt some spots I normally can't with the more common NW or SW winds we get. First spot I went is a proven favorite. I saw a coyote on the walk in that I...

I was thinking about skipping the 10x42's for scouting and only packing the big binos, spotter, and tripod. If I do this I want quick access to the 15x's. I know they won't be great for handheld use, but I can use them well enough for quick looks to get an idea of what a buck is if I jump one...

I have decided to sell my Nikon ED50. I'm buying a new 55mm Kowa. I sold my 65mm spotter and have decided to sell this one also, just use the 55mm or my 80mm. This is a great little spotter so I hope I don't regret it. It is in great shape, I've hunted with it but always carried it in the...

I have one of these knives and would like to buy another knife or at least another blade. I have one blade for mine and a saw, I'd like to add a second blade with or without the guthook. Please PM if you happen to have one to sell. Thanks.

A buddy and I drew this tag this year. We have been looking at maps and Google earth already starting our research and have a scouting trip planned in late August. We thought we would draw elk this year and missed out, so we went for this as a back-up plan. It's our first time in the Unit so...
