    Little things needed for September Colorado elk

    Does doing this with the antibacterial wipes cause the "antibacterial" part to be ineffective? I really like this idea, just wondering if it turns the antibacterial wipes into just wipes....

    Hilleberg Tents

    Is condensation an issue in all Hillebergs? Or are certain models better/worse than others? I'm mainly looking at the Atko or Niak.

    Montana Region 7

    I hunted that area last fall. I used a quad for the first time in 5 years of hunting down there. The roads were frozen so it wasn't an issue of not being able to access an area, but it allowed me to cover ground faster. I don't road hunt, just travel to where I want to walk in. In my...

    What's your rain gear this year?

    Marmot Precip top and bottom...and I went with the full zip pants so I don't have to take my boots off to get them on.

    Puffy jacket.....bring it or not?

    I'll be in the Ruby Mountains next week for my deer hunt. Is it cold/cool enough in the mornings and evenings that a puffy jacket is needed? Or will a fleece do the job until the sun heats up? Anyone know the average high/low temps up in the mountains? Thanks in advance, Eric

    Is this a lightweight synthetic? Thanks.

    Lightweight Hooded shirt?

    It doesn't need to be camo. It should be in the 80's during the day for temps. So I'm looking for something that won't be too warm, but will add a little warmth in the morning. The hood will be great for keeping the sun off I'm hoping. PS- the drunk internetting is hilarious. I've been bit...

    Archery elk hunt within 2 hours of Denver

    I hunted within 2 hours of Denver last September. I only saw 1 other hunter. Saw elk each day, and lots of sign. As others have said, there are a lot of places to hunt. I only saw 1 other hunter. It's definitely doable!

    Lightweight Hooded shirt?

    Are you guys wearing these hooded shirts as the base layer, or do you have something under it? My hunt is Nevada in August, so I'm thinking I'll want something that can be worn next to skin when it's hot, but as the second layer in mornings if it's cool.

    Lightweight Hooded shirt?

    I recently bought a pair of REI pants that are very similar in weight to the Sitka Ascent pants as far as I can tell, just not camo. I'd like to buy a thin/lightweight hooded long sleeve shirt as well. It doesn't need to be camo. I plan to use it on my August deer hunt. Any suggestions that...

    Re-hydrating Venison

    I recently dehydrated some ground venison burger. When I re-hydrated it, it ended up a little chewy. Not sure if I didn't let it soak up long enough, or if this is just a common thing. I let it sit for about 10 minutes. Anyone else have this issue? Or a solution? Thanks

    Nevada 101-109 Early Archery

    I drew an archery tag. I'll be hunting the Ruby Mountains. I already know where I plan to hike into and hunt. I have a few questions about access from the west side. I live in MN so a scouting trip isn't much of an option. If anyone has any "local knowledge" they'd be willing to share, it...

    This feels weird asking...

    I really like Fits merino socks. I've also used Darn Tough and FL. Both are good. I have used Ex Officio synthetic boxer briefs. I recently bought Minus 33 merino boxers. Wore them for a wedding I was in. 90 degrees and humid all day, they were a lifesaver. Never felt sweaty or clammy.

    Alaska Moose hunt/ Andreafski River North Fork questions

    Anyone have any information on transportation for non-resident moose hunt? Either flying up river, or using a boat. Is it easy to get someone to fly you in? Is the price reasonable? How is the hunting pressure? Thanks,

    Another Which premium boot thread

    I hunted Southeast Montana last fall over Thanksgiving. I wore uninsulated Lowa Tibets. Walked in snow almost every day. My feet stayed warm. I didn't sit much, they may have gotten cold if I'd done much glassing.
