    Scent Control?

    ^^^ Posts above nailed it. PLAY THE WIND. No matter what you do, western big game hunting means hiking, hiking means sweating, and sweat means odor no matter how minute it is. Hygiene is so you and whoever you're spending the days with don't get tired of smelling each other. As far as wind goes...

    Sept archery elk calls?

    Get a variety and start using them. Consider palette fit, dome plates versus flatter aluminum plates, how they fit your calling abilities, etc. I'm a big fan of the Rocky Mountain calls, but that is what fits and sounds best for me. I used the all star for a while and moved to the contender...

    Vortex razor Spotting scope 85mm or 65mm?

    I know you mentioned 65 and 80mm scopes, and I'm not sure how sold you are on those sizes, but for most of my archery elk and deer hunting I've been using the Razor Hd 50mm. Awesome little compact scope for backcountry hunting where all ounces count. I've never had to decide whether I'll need it...

    Seek Outside tipis or.....

    Both seem great. I'm a firm believer in spending money for good stuff, but don't see any reason to spend more on the Kifaru. I can't see SO fabric being inferior or less durable either. The market for packable shelters is just too small to offer a so-so item. Plus if seek contributes back a...

    Seek Outside tipis or.....

    Thanks for the pictures guys! I like the silver tip too. Yeah I do a lot of research on things before I ask for opinions on here. Im just trying to get some review type stuff on these. Ive been in a marmot limelight for a while, and the seek outside seems to be where I'm headed. Right on...

    Seek Outside tipis or.....

    Just seeing if anyone had any experience or advice on the seek outside tipis. Im leaning towards the cimarron for my backcountry tent. All the brands seem to be in the same ballpark, but just wanted to get your guys opinion on packability, weight, ease of setup and takedown, space, etc on...

    Wyoming proposed grizzly hunts

    Im really excited that this could in fact happen in the lower 48 as well. Hopefully some of the other states follow suit too, or at least start thinking about it. Coming into an era where it seems that the support for hunting is starting to decline, its awesome to see this kind of progress in...

    Wyoming proposed grizzly hunts

    Yeah I definitely agree that most NR tags these days are on an impressive incline. I hear a lot of differing opinions as far as it being a reasonable price vs. being an outrageous price. I also think that this being such a monumental hunt (in my opinion) this will be Wyoming's experiment to...

    Wyoming proposed grizzly hunts

    Haven't seen much on this topic on the forums, or Im not searching hard enough, but what are you guys thinking as far as this price tag goes? $6k NR $600 resident. Reasonable? 6 out of 24 tags set aside for NR. I know the hunt is still just a possibility, but it seems like it is gathering more...

    Backpack training - how much weight?

    Always leave room in your pack for a 6er of your favorite frosty beverage when you get to the top!!! Beer is definitely vital to any training regiment!:D

    Backpack training - how much weight?

    60 lbs kettle bell over shoulder on the stair master on days that I'm in the gym. Depending on fitness level, adjust your time per 100 flights of stairs. A good goal is 100 flights in 20 minutes. Outside, find a nasty hillside or mountainside and throw on your weighted pack and go for it...
