    Wyoming GMU 41 between Shell Creek and Trapper Creek and Greybull

    Thanks wyosteve. There didn’t seem to be much on google map for eateries. The cartoon is for you bdan68. Indian summer, I agree with your sentiments exactly. I have had good/great guided elk hunts but the ones that my buddies and I did on our own were the most fun. Figuring out what the elk...

    Wyoming GMU 41 between Shell Creek and Trapper Creek and Greybull

    My buddy got a rifle tag for end of September in this area. I am helping driving him out and back and will hang with him during the hunt. Its actually for a ranch between these creeks. Looking on the maps, a lot of the area looks arid compared to what I have experienced elk hunting but that...

    Truck camp packing list

    Most of these ideas apply for larger tents ie wall tent A Mr Buddy heater with an 18 lb propane tank takes just enough chill out of the tent to help sleep at night. Also nice if you are weathered in your tent for the day. A propane lantern can really heat up the tent and dry your gear on a...

    how quick have you had to take shots

    Curious how quickly people have had to take shots. Of my hunting buddies and myself, the majority of our shots have been quick shooting scenarios and standing. 7 elk have been taken while standing where the shot window was only seconds to decide. 1 bull was taken while seated but it had been...

    300 win mag factory elk ammo

    A lot of ammo will work well out to 350 yards for “minute of elk”. You could buy Remington corelokts and shoot a lot given their price compared to other ammo. They now come tipped so better BC. I have taken elk from 40 yards to 360+ yards with the original corelokts. That said, I went with...

    New Magview Gear Digiscope?

    So I bought one. Super easy to set up . Takes good photos with my iPhone 13 pro The eyepiece is of course bulkier thanks a plain lens cap but still fits in my custom spotting scope cover.

    pack pad odor

    I have a Mystery Ranch pack that I used on my sheep hunt. It has a main pad in the middle of the pack. Now every time I wear it and sweat, it emits a very powerful ammonia like smell. Once it dries it is barely noticeable to me. I have tried soaking it in cold water and Dawn dishwashing...

    New Magview Gear Digiscope?

    This product looks very interesting. However, I would think that repeatedly attaching and detaching the steel plate will eventually magnetize it some, particularly if a stroking motion is used to attach and detach the cellphone
