So I've never had the patience for glassing to justify the high end price tag. Right now I've got some vortex Diamondbacks 12x50. I want to rent some glass this year, and FORCE myself to actually use it for elk this September. So my question is: should I rent a spotter or some higher end...

I always here the saying " 10% of the people kill 90% of the animals". I'd consider myself a moderately successful bow hunter. I've killed 3 elk in 10 years on public land with a bow. But have eaten tag soup for 5 straight years. Despite constantly learning and investing more effort into it...

Curious to hear people's experiences meeting others for hunts on this, or other similar forums. I know for me it's always been tough to find like-minded individuals to bow hunt with specifically. With trying to coordinate dates, having the $, or the interest in doing the types of backcountry...

Curious out there what success people have had with mineral licks for elk... If so what kind? One of the areas I'm looking to use them is more lowland AG fields. So, I'm hoping to pattern them more like a whitetail. Thoughts?

Didn't draw anything this year. So, I'm looking at Idaho for my September ELK hunt. After applying some filters on GoHunt for trophy size, harvest success, bull/cow ratio, and hunting pressure. I think I've got it narrowed down to three potential units for a back-country bow hunt. Units 30, 66...

Curious about what guys have used to help protect your dogs feet for waterfowling. I'm pretty skeptical of the hunting booties on the market. Seems like they're designed mostly for smaller, upland dogs... I've got an 83lb lab, and I just imagine them coming off in the first hour or so... Has...

Hello all, I'm trying to get a sense of the quality of block managment areas for a rifle elk hunt. I know this is probably a pretty loaded question, since I'm sure there are some that are great and some that are not.... I'm looking at some in the phillipsburg area as a way to target some of...

Just put in for the second draw and drew this hells canyon tag on a whim. Archery. I've never been in this unit before, but I've heard lots about it. Anyone willing to share some info? It would be greatly appreciated. You can reply here or pm, either is fine. Thanks guys!

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
