    Diesel truck in the winter out West.

    Just like it says, what precautions or accessories are needed on a diesel motor in cold western temps? I didn't even think about any of it, but the "what's in your truck" thread got me thinking. I have a 2014 Ford f350 with a powerstroke and 35" tires. 1. I don't have a block heater on...

    $2500, what do you get?

    So, you have $2500 to spend on a rifle that you want to take in the mountains for elk and mule deer. Backpacking in sometimes, but also using either a packer or llamas. What do you get?? And no, this doesn't include optics. I'm saying quality rifle preferably in a .30 cal variant. I'm fond of...

    How many states do you guys apply in for mule deer?

    I used to apply to quite a few states for mule deer, but quite honestly I'm ashamed to say I forgot the last couple of years during vet school. I'm not sure on the rules if you lose your points if you fail to apply for X years, and I plan on checking into it. My question now is, what states and...

    Waterproof digital cameras?

    What's a good waterproof digital camera that you all are using? I made a bit of a dumb mistake this past season and trashed my DSLR retrieving an arrow I shot at a waterhole. Long story short I tried to grab my arrow out of the muddy bank with my pack on and got an unexpected bath. Not really...

    So we're getting everything boxed up as the end of school is this coming Friday and are preparing to move in two weeks. I wanted to start July off with a bang for my kids and introduce them to the awesomeness that is backpacking. We've done some day hikes, but it's all relatively flat and I...

    Mountain Caribou

    Mountain Caribou, anyone hunted them? I've read and seen that it can be a grueling hunt. I'm curious if it's along the same lines physically as sheep or mountain goats. Hopefully some of you guys that have hunted them can give me the low down.

    What would you pick??

    My wife gave me a graduation present of taking any hunt I wanted for under $15k. She announced this to me Friday night and I've been racking my brain all weekend long. What would I love to hunt, what can I physically be able to chase being out of shape from being so busy with school, what do I...

    Wyoming Unit 113

    So I got offered a chance to tag along next season for an Antelope hunt in Unit 27 during the General Season. I was looking into trying to tag on an Elk tag for Unit 113. I've heard and read quite a bit of varying information, antlered tags not always available, pp #s, etc... I'm more looking...

    Argali vs. Timberline T1?? Pros and Cons?

    Looking for a pack to replace my current REI pack. I like the ability to change bags from frame as I'll probably buy a large pack first and then supplement for 3-5 day trips with something smaller. I'll be moving to the Denver area after graduation and plan on turning up my elk/mule deer hunting...
