    Replacing Battery on Inreach SE

    Has anyone replaced battery on the Garmin Inreach SE+? Mine won't charge. Batteries on line are pretty cheap but the Garmin website says could be multiple different causes. I bought a Mini for this fall but don't like it as well as my old eyes can't read the screen without packing my...

    Just tore my house apart trying to find my Garmin inreach SE. Finally found it under the back seat of my pickup. Won't charge so I'm pretty sure it sh*t the bed. Headed out solo on Friday and my wife won't let me go without one. Just found out the the SE isn't made any longer. Can get a...

    Talk me out of a Rad 6 Plus ebike

    I lucked out and drew a great elk archery tag. Lots of up in the unit but all trails can be accessed with an ebike legally. Being able to get in 5-6 miles on a bike will help a bunch in getting one out in Sept. I've ridden mountain bikes a lot and would rather not have to ride these trails...

    Idaho Draw Question

    Can anyone explain to me how the second choice option works on the Idaho draw? I have read through the regulations and cannot find it. I plan to put my son in for a youth cow permit that has high draw odds, but would also like to put him in for a chance at a trophy bull tag. My thinking was...

    Honesty sucks!

    Had my AR stolen last fall. Good news is Cops recovered it and busted the dirt bag who stole it. After almost 6 months I was able to pick it up last Friday. The guy opens the case on the other side of the glass and there's my AR along with another scope in the case. I automatically say...

    What a load of Bull!

    The Dodo - People want to shoot hibernating bear families... Maybe one of the more sensationalistic anti-videos I've seen. Don't know about the legislation they are sighting but if its to reduce bear and wolf predation in Alaska makes sense to me.

    Fittest Bowhunter in the West

    Anyone know anything about these competitions? They are having one in Boise in June and it looks kind of interesting. Not a lot on the website about the competition other than you have to wear a pack with 20lbs and there are physical challenges between 40 separate 3d targets. Any additional...

    Shoulder issues

    Smoked my right shoulder about 40 days ago working out. Laid off it awhile and has got progressively worse. Finally because I couldn't pull my bow any longer went to dr yesterday. I had visions off torn rotator cuff and surgery in the back of my mind. Fortunately my dr has a sports medicine...
