    Bad experience with Transporter

    This was my 3rd fly out caribou hunt, and the first in a completely new area, style, and with a different transporter. My coworker and I have been planning this hunt for the past 4 years. We had our drop and pickup planned with a pilot who unfortunately died in a mid air accident early last...

    UL wt. rifle scope

    Hi Greg, I'm John aka Merc. Like the weight that came in at. For the record I have the lightweight Leopold just haven't had the chance to mount it yet so no scope advice. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

    Packing out caribou

    Did mine last season in 2 trips. First load was day gear a front quarter, inner and outer tenders. Second load was everything else (minus the cape as I was only euro'ing). So with 3 guys y'all will be easy to get 1 out in a single trip. Put 2 on the ground and it'll be heavy but doable in one...

    Early August Caribou Meat Care

    If y'all are driving up, why not pack a few coolers full of ice and dry ice? Beyond that I'm no help as I haven't hunted the haul road and down south, hunt was over when it was to hot after a kill. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

    Transporter Search

    All, I've been looking around and trying to find transporters without much luck, that fly into GMU 25. Have myself and a partner looking to do a float hunt in 2020 if we can get booked up. I have emails and calls out to a couple of guys but I'm deployed and haven't heard back from them. I'd...

    TX Archery Nilgai

    I've never hunted it, but its on my apply list every year. Have an uncle that did the king ranch years ago and one tactic is to find a fence they've been crossing under and plug all the holes except one you can sit a ground blind on and wait. Goodluck to y'all that got drawn. Sent from my...

    Smoke a whitetail deer hind quarter

    I'm bringing this back up because I've got an antelope in a cooler I just got back to Texas I'm trying to decide what to do with. Anybody have thoughts about trying this on an antelope quarter? Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

    2018 Drop Camp 26A

    Stayed put for a minute and didn't hear anything else so figured he was solid or missed and they were gone. I got back on foot and made it maybe 50yrds when he shot again and I heard the meat smack, knew he had a good hit then. A few seconds later had a small/med bull and cow run not 30yrds from...
