    Kauai scouting report

    I know the topic of DIY hunting Hawaii is discussed somewhat commonly so I thought I’d share my experience. Two months ago I got camping permits for the Kalalau valley. My wife and I went last week and camped 1 night. The place is infested w goats. I’d say we saw close to 70. The closer we got...

    Souvenirs from your hunts

    When I visit people’s trophy rooms sometimes the souvenirs from hunts to far flung locations are as interesting as the animals on the wall. Just thought I’d post a thread to see what cool souvenirs people have picked up during their travels. I picked up this Frank Entsminger original bronze on...

    Interpretting First Lite's Logo

    Ok, really random question here. Can anyone explain what First Lite's logo is supposed to be? For a while I thought, "What is this XD brand?" I asked a couple guys in the breakroom today and they said they didn't know either but one of them thought maybe it was supposed to be a mountain peak...

    Trading packing boots for trail runners

    I have been extremely reticent to trade my hunting boots for trail runners while backpacking but I recently decided to give it a try. After reading some reviews on some of the backpackers forums I bought a pair of La Sportiva Ultra Raptors. I've used all kinds of boots over the years ranging...

    Underwear & 100lb+ loads

    When I haul over 100lbs with my backpack (usually hiking an elk off the mountain) I find that it requires me to cinch my waist belt EXTREMELY tight to get as much weight on my hips as possible. When I cinch the belt and hike for more than 2 miles I find that I get very sore from the results of...

We got a call tonight from Mike at 70 North saying they are having a hard time finding caribou right now and they don't recommend that we come. He said in all his years he has seen it a few times where the...

    Mountain vs Barren

    I see pictures of some of the Mountain Caribou bulls coming out of the NWT and the racks seem to consistently be bigger than the pictures of the Barren Ground bulls I see coming off of the North Slope of the Brooks. Is that just because the Mountain Caribou are coming out of top flight outfitter...

    Photos of Bachelor Bucks

    Are antelope bucks more likely to be in bachelor groups this time of year? I've never scouted WY antelope in July and the other day I found several groups of primarily bachelor bucks. To be clear, I also found them off on their own and in mixed groups--but mostly it was bachelor groups. I just...
