When I found out I drew the Rhodes Canyon broken horn Oryx tag I knew it was an experience I wanted to share with my daughter and dad. I figured this would be a good trip for her to tag along since she's only 7 and the hunt is not as physically demanding as most western big game hunts. She had...
Does anyone have any outfitter or licensed resident referrals for unit 98 in Wyoming? I have a group of 3 that put in for the limited tag in this unit with enough points we should draw. I've contacted Thompson and Big Sandy and am waiting for more info. Are there any other outfitters or willing...
My Dad and I put in for a Wyoming unit (I'll leave the number out) that should be 100% draw odds. The unit has a small piece of the south side of the Wind River range and tons of open sage flat land and irrigated ag fields. Our tag if we draw will allow us to hunt from Sept. 20 until the end of...
I decided to break down and buy my 6yr old a crossbow for Christmas. I wanted to get her started turkey and deer hunting and thought that it would be less scary and no recoil compared to a shotgun or rifle. After countless hours of practicing I decided she was ready for her first turkey hunt...
Well after 8 days in the bush we’ve made it back to the village. We’ve had an amazing trip with some world class hunting and fishing. Killed our two bulls in the first 3 days then our pilot moved us to a fishing spot. We saw somewhere around 4,000 caribou, caught hundreds of fish 2-15lbs and saw...
Probably should post this in the meat and trophy care section but wanted some specific input. I'm headed to Kotzebue for caribou Sept. 14th-22nd, I've read several forums on this topic but looking for more direction. I'm trying decide whether it's necessary to salt and turn the lips and ears on...
Has anyone used these waders? I cannot find any info on them online other than the Cabelas/Bass Pro websites. I know they are exclusives to those two stores and they are on sale for father's day. I need a pair of waders for an upcoming caribou hunt in AK and would like to know how much they...
What's everyone's thoughts on how Covid-19 will effect the fall hunting seasons in Alaska? How likely is it that AK shuts down bou, moose, and bear to nonresidents? If hunting season are canceled should outfitters and charter services allow you to apply your deposit to a later year?
We have a...
So I've historically been a bow hunter but the last few years I've had less and less time to spend in the woods between work and spending time with my wife and two young daughters. I decided to leave the stick and string behind this year and take a rifle into the elk woods. After reading...
Does anyone have an adapter kit to put a new bag on a 2016 frame? The kit was supposed to come with the bag when I purchased it but it wasn't in the bag. I called KUIU customer service and they are back ordered and won't be in before I leave on my elk trip in one week.
I would be willing to...
Looking to buy a 3 person tent for my September elk hunt and came across the Easton line a tents which are on sale at Cabelas. I'm particularly looking at the Kinetic Carbon. Has anyone used these tent before what are your thoughts?

My buddy and I have Beaverhead Zone archery tags and are trying to decide which unit to focus on We are leaning towards 59a or 30a. I was hoping to connect with someone who's familiar with the area who could point us in the right direction. We have a couple areas in both units that we like based...
First of all I'm new to the forum, I've been on other forums (not to mention names) and found that Rokslide is geared a lot more to my style of hunting. My buddy and I are planning a 10 day DIY backpack archery elk hunt for mid September in the Beaverhead zone. We have never hunted the area and...
