    Rough Winter for Mule Deer ID/Wy/Ut

    I was optimistic with 4 yrs of positive growth that this young population could hold. After closely watching the deer in Eastern Idaho I felt good with how the fawns looked around Jan 10. Ten days later I could see a distinct downward trend in health. A few days ago after a fresh + 12” of snow...

    WTS Seek outside SXL stove bundle

    Not sure if this would work but if @Ebby took the 9.5’ pipe, tray, and snow/rain cap I would take the rest. Thanks Corey Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Floor-less tipi secondary protection option?

    Thanks for the feedback. I want to avoid bulk and as much wt. as possible. Looking like a bivy with maybe a footprint/tyvek is best option Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Floor-less tipi secondary protection option?

    Thanks slatty, I have multiple floored free standing tents that I’ve always hunted from but want to give this setup a shot. Might go back but at least give it a try…and you’re right I will need to get over a clean shelter being flourless. I mostly hunt Oct/Nov and I’m getting too old to put...

    Floor-less tipi secondary protection option?

    Hi all- I’m looking for some advise on a secondary layer to run in my Argali Absaroka 4P tipi. Primarily to ensure my bag stays dry from the ground but also to keep clean and prevent bugs (I’m a bit of a neat freak in my camp). I’ve narrowed it down to 2 options: 1. Bivy- OR Helium (15 oz) 2...

    2022 - Big Idaho Buck

    Yeah so I had him officially measured last week and the B&C measurer called me last night confirming the paperwork was submitted and the final score- nets 192 0/8! Gross- 203 5/8. I’m pretty excited about this and fortunate to be able to get out as much as I do. Antlers are now at the taxi...

    2022 - Big Idaho Buck

    Thanks everyone! After the 60 day drying period I’ll probably get him officially scored and see if he can squeeze into the all-time B&C net 190. I will make sure and update if that happens. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2022 - Big Idaho Buck

    Yeah, don’t know what I was thinking! In my defense…he had a monster frame but didn’t fork too well. [emoji3] That’s the trap I fell into that I think a lot of others do to. You draw a 1 in 25 yr tag and think because it’s that hard to draw there must be giants on every ridge. My expectations...
