    Do Environmentalist Groups in WA Really Run Fish & Wildlife?

    I get emails occasionally from a couple of environmentalist groups that are headquartered in Western Washington (go figure) and are usually asking for donations or some kind of activism participation. They always seem to be for having breeding wolves on almost every inch of Washington, are...

    Bear Attacks Hunter & Guide Sep '18 Story

    With this investigation completed and the entire very sad story told now, this is a poignant reminder of how fast things can go south in grizzly country and a warning for me anyway about the importance of taking precautions around kill sites. One thing that struck me while reading this though...

    Misinformation perpetuated on internet forums

    I thought that it might be interesting to get some views from various "experts" in their field (i.e. anyone who actually has a lot of experience and/or knowledge about a particular topic) about information that they see perpetuated on internet forums which seems to be marginal at best or...

    Panhead for Tripod

    Manfrotto 460MG Panhead. Really good condition. Compact design & 16 oz with a QR plate attached (comes with 3 quick release plates/adapters). Used only with my spotter, rated for 6.6 lbs but works fine at the range with my 80 mm spotting scope. I found out that I like ballheads better and got...

    Wilderness Medicine -- Backcountry First Aid (excellent article!)

    I ran across this article, which is an excellent straight forward backcountry first aid summary in my opinion. If you learn everything in this article, I believe you will know more proper first aid than 99% of other people in the backcountry...

    Taxidermy in the Spokane-Coeur d'Alene Area

One of the few people, from Sandpoint to the Silver Valley to Spokane, that I received all positive remarks about...

    Bearpaw Wilderness Designs Luna 4 Pyramid Shelter Review

    I've had a chance to use my Olive Brown nylon Luna 4 shelter with 18" perimeter bug netting now for almost one year now. Of all of the shelters that I have looked at, this would seem to be one of the most versatile shelters for someone who does backcountry hunting and backpacking with other...

    Kifaru Timberline Pack...Best Option for Controlling Squeaks

    I love my T2 Pack, but I occasionally will get somewhat annoying squeaks which seem to occur where the surface of the Carbon Stays move a little within the Nylon Webbing Stay Pockets?
