    Idaho zone 24 & 25 - any land inaccessible due to Wilks Brothers?

    I hunted deer and elk a twice a few years back east of Cascade and McCall, and I'm going back this year. I did a search on Wilk's Brothers and the only thing I found was that they closed Boise Ridge. I know they own a lot of land near Cascade in zone 24 after browsing their sales listings...

    Merino shirts for taller guys?

    I am very frustrated that First Lite llano shirt came in a little short for my liking. I originally tried the same shirt in 2011 and again this week but it needs to be another inch longer to feel right. Has anyone else had this issue and can recommend wool brands that run longer? I plan to try...
