HELP! Hunt Plan Indecision

Thanks for asking! I ended up starting at "Area 1" and my initial concern about it being a better later-season spot turned out to be correct. I basically wasted my first two days of the season in there and came out on Sunday night. On Monday morning I drove to a new area and I saw more fresh...

How hunting may have saved my life

Wow, amazing story. Glad that things are turning out well for you and your family. I have this funny feeling that you're going to be rewarded in the field sometime soon for having such positivity and perseverance.

How much can I expect to pay for a AK moose hunt?

Hi all, My brother and I are thinking about an Alaska hunt in the next 5 years and are wanting to start saving up. We are thinking Moose and/or Caribou. Love the idea of Sheep and/or Elk as well, but we can hunt Elk in the western states in which we live. I'm wondering what cost expectation we...

Binos under $300

Celestron Trailseekers are good for the money, IMO. I upgraded to some Leicas this season but they served me very well for only $200.

I've Developed A Flinch, Now What?

The Hunt Backcountry podcast has an outstanding episode called something like “how to hunt like a sniper.” On it, they have a military sniper instructor who is also a hunter. He gives some incredible advice for the average, everyday hunter to use. I think you’ll find some very applicable info...

Slumberjack vs Eberlestock Budget Packs

Oh, and whatever pack you go with, I highly highly recommend a Kifaru Gun Bearer. Most return on investment for a $30 piece of gear you will ever find.

Slumberjack vs Eberlestock Budget Packs

I can't speak to this setup specifically, but I will say that I like SJK gear - they make quality stuff as far as I can tell. I have a frame pack and a day pack that can hook into the frame pack from SJK and it has work worked pretty well for me, especially considering the price (frame pack was...

Michigan Elk Poached

This. A dude in Michigan just shot his brother this past weekend. I’ll never ever ever understand how someone decides to pull the trigger of a firearm when they aren’t sure what they’re shooting at.

Bad ass... diaper bag?

+1 Diaper bags are diaper bags for a reason. Who cares what it looks like- there are plenty that look pretty normal. We got an Eddie Bauer bag that I have no problem wearing and it's well equipped for any...crap...that may go down.

WTS Delete

Yea, it will probably get more attention in the optics classifieds. Also, highly suggest posting photos of the lenses. However, I'll say that if the glass is in good shape this is a good deal. I have the same spotter and it performs well, especially at this price point (and I wish I had a...

MeatEater

I completely agree. It's hard for me to describe why I can't listen to him but I just can't. As for the MeatEater crew, Steve is super interesting and an really great conversationalist, but his ego and tendency to interrupt really bother me. It's especially bad when he has any women on the...

Best Processor near Aspen/GWS/Rifle area

Any suggestions on best meat processor in the Roaring Fork Valley and/or down towards Junction? In the somewhat unlikely event that I get an animal on the ground, I need to know where to take it. I was hoping to process myself, but that's just not happening for me this year. My biggest concern...
