Yes, my buddy was in person at a vendor and the two people in front of him had flown from Iowa with 8 of their buddies info and bought 8 tags between the two of them.
Not to hijack the thread, or be too negative, but let's say the border doesn't open up in time for most of the hunts to occur this year. Does next year, assuming we return to normalcy, become the year of record book rams all over Canada?
For either. I had Grizzly on my trailcams back in 2015 in unit 67. Can't convince me that if they wanted to go a little further south they couldn't. Wouldn't expect them in 69 but I'd say it's possible in 66. Not counting on it, but not going in with nothing either.
He clarifies that in the comments below the video. He changed his aim point from the first 2 shots to the second 2 shots. Did a poor job of telling people that's what was going on though...

To any other newcomers out there who would like to take two packs into the backcountry filled with water when there will be streams close by, more power to you! Just helps my odds of being on the elk before you ever get to camp.

To me, the scat you're holding in the picture, and the one on the snow patch look like moose. The rubs could be either, and the other scat looks a bit smaller. Learn the difference in their tracks and come September visit some heavily used wallows and learn an elks smell. It's very distinct...
Yeah I don’t know about burning 40 percent more calories but for me trekking poles are a must. Anytime you’re in an aggressive climb, or heavy load, trekking poles are worth their weight in gold! Multiple times on heavy pack outs I probably would’ve rolled an ankle badly if it weren’t for...
I had a pair of Iowa renegade boots that lasted maybe 6 months before the seams by the toe box blew out and started leaking. Went through the process with goretex, sent them in, and they determined they were faulty and gave me $ credit. They were happy to simply replace the boot with the same...
Drew second choice tags this year... should be an interesting ride for deer. Last year in our first choice was terrible but I was really hoping that was a one off and we'd be back in there. I guess it wasn't in the cards this year but should be an interesting back up.
Man... reading through all these has me realizing just how much of a gear whore I am... to echo what others have said:
1. Jetboil Ti burned down on me.
2. Lowa Renegades lasted about 6 months before falling apart
3. Big agnes fly creek not meant for any kind of harsh weather or wind for sure!
