    Paleo/Primal backcountry meals

    I will be doing a 5-7 day backcountry hunt this fall. This past fall I made a lifestyle switch to Paleo. Those of you who eat Paleo, what do you do when in the backcountry? Heathers choice is out for me. They are not good and over seasoned with odd flavor combos. I am considering making my own...

    Archery Weather Planning

    Looking at average temps for areas we are considering for 2017 Elk archery. Obviously the weather info is for a town, usually at lower elevations. Is there a general rule of thumb you guys use. Like if I were hunting Sawtooth at 11,000 (just an example) and the temps are 34L & 55H in Gunnison...
