    College vs skilled trades.

    I don't think the chances of success are increased or decreased by a person going to college or not. Chances are, if someone is going to be successful in life, they're going to do it whatever path they take because they have a strong work ethic, pay attention to details, and are willing to go...

    Wife worried

    I turn the InReach on when I get in the truck to start driving to the woods (so I don't forget later). It sends a track every 10 minutes to the Garmin website where she can follow along on the map if she wants. Sending messages is so-so around here in the pine thickets of GA. I think I read...

    LED Lantern

    How has it held up? I picked up 4 of them yesterday for our 14x16 wall tent.

    My Katadyn broke 😭

    I've used the Sawyer squeeze on solo trips in the past. Picked up a Katadyn gravity 10L for November's trip since there will be more of us. IIRC, the Sawyer will fit onto the end of a 20oz (or similar sized/threaded mouth) bottle (I've used SmartWater bottles because they're the most durable).

    Davis Wall Tent... Help me get it right the first time.

    Just wanted to add on here. We ordered the 14x16 Elk package this summer and it arrived a couple weeks ago. Got the conduit cut and we put it up for the first time this past weekend. It was 15 minutes from opening the bag to having the tent up plus another 10 minutes or so to get the stakes in...

    Sitka Codes or Sales?

    Man... Black Ovis just had a Sitka sale last weekend. I was able to pick up a tall sized Core Lightweight hoodie for 15% off I think. I agree with you - finding tall sizes on the sale 'racks' is hard!

    How to find spot for wall tent (MT in Nov)

    Thanks folks. That's what I had assumed, but wasn't sure and wanted to double check. In the Chattahoocee NF here in GA, you can 'dispersed camp' in as long as it isn't flagged as not available, but there really aren't any spots big enough to put a wall tent in those spots, so I wanted to see if...

    How to find spot for wall tent (MT in Nov)

    We'll be heading to MT in Nov for our first elk hunt. It will also be our first time camping with a canvas wall tent. How do you find a place to set up a camp like that? The areas we're looking at are mostly National Forests and I think they allow disbursed camping - is that the ticket for being...

    Wyoming antelope advice

    Last year, opening of deer season in Area C was insane. Trucks on every pull-off. I assume it was the good weather (as in not brutally cold or wet) had everybody and their brother (including me, though I would have gone even if the weather had been bad) out in full force. Last year we didn't see...

    Fun with 3D Printers

    Late to the show here, but some impressive builds! Now I'm thinking that my 9 y/o son needs a 3D printer for Christmas... you know, for the kids!

    Wyoming antelope advice

    Antelope move a lot. Two years ago we were hunting a lower-tier area with limited public access. We figured out a large loop that allowed us to check the most likely public spots and we would drive that loop a few times per day. Eventually, we made a pass and found them on a plot that they...

    Montana general tag holder newbie question

    Following... We're in the same situation - first time general combo tags and trying to figure out where our pins for A, B, C, etc should be. Also trying to plan for "show up and there are 42 trucks parked on the side of the road" which is what our WY Muley hunt last year was like.

    FNG in GA

    We were doing rifle. Bow would be fun, but it would be a heckuva lot more work than rifle. I can't imagine getting one with a bow on public land with them being as spooky as they were when we were there.

    Whitetail doe in WY?

    Just wanted to post back and say thanks for the intel. We definitely saw lots of deer, but couldn't get a shot on any of them. If we had one more day I think we could have sealed the deal. This advice was spot on. Thanks again!

    FNG in GA

    Awesome! I killed my first hog last fall. Hoping to find some on some nearby public land this winter.
