    Dietary Restrictions

    I have a quick question and possibly a unique situation. My wife has changed her lifestyle and has been on an extremely limited diet and so far lost 25% of her body weight. She has very limited carbs, salt and sugars and doesn't want to change that and give up any ground she has made. Today we...

    Would a water filtration system catch this?

    Remember the elk deaths in NM that no one could figure out what happened. Well, they figured it out and it was a neurotoxin from blue green algae. Would the water filtration systems most of us use catch this? http://news.yahoo.com/culprit-mysterious-elk-deaths-found-175716999.html

    After 5 years of trying I finally punched my tag

    I have tried for 5 different years to shoot my Canadian Moose. After a close encounter last year, very close actually, I was able to get it done this year. Hunted with my friend/ outfitter in Quebec and he worked him perfectly. He called the bull off of a cow that was aggressively calling him...

    Theft in the backcountry

    I've only done one backcountry hunt and that was in BC for mtn goat. We were in the middle of no where so concern over leaving our gear wasn't an issue. Now a buddy and I are heading to CO and the area we go has a handful of people around both hikers and hunters. So my question is this, do I...

    Motivation

    I went on a mtn goat hunt last Aug and worked out for 1.5yrs prior to the trip to get in shape. Dropped 25lbs and felt and looked better than I have since my 20's. Now after the hunt is over the drive to work out is gone. What do you all do to stay motivated? I have a couple more hunts that I...

    Who uses a pot for cooking?

    I need a pot to put in my pack what recommendation do you guys have? There seem to be quite a few but sizes and weights make it tough to pick one out having only used one on a guided hunt. What is a good weight and size? Or would a kettle style be more useful? (assuming you be warming water for...

    The Addiction

    Not sure if it's quite an addiction yet but I went on my first backpack hunt and since I've been back that's all I can think about. I keep wondering which one I can plan next and still look for new gadgets to buy even though I don't have a hunt in the hopper yet. Is this how it started for you all?

    Tagged out on my goat in BC

    We start up the mt tues evening pushing to get there by dark and we are making great time. Then I slipped on an ice slide and hurt a knee bad, real bad. Finished the hike over the 5th mtn and made it to the camp after 5.5 hr hike and 10+ miles. So we make it to camp that night and it rains bad...

    I'm in the short rows

    Two weeks from today I'll be in transit to my goat hunt. This is my first true mtn hunt and I'm stoked up. Spent the night out a time or two but never carried enough for 5-7 days. For the past 2 years I've been going over and over my list trying to get prepped and as of Sunday, I'm ready.

    How long before you leave do you give your body time to recover?

    I've been prepping for my mt goat hunt and working out pretty hard, playing hockey and tennis again. I've dropped 25# and feel better than I've felt since my mid twenties. In the past week my knees are starting to get tired and are a little uncomfortable all day. So my question to you...

    Kuiu Customer Service

    I called the other day to ask a few questions and got a hold of Brandon. He was beyond helpful and helped me figure out what I was needing. He got my spindrift on the way with the other items I needed and pre-ordered my gaiters. Then once home I realized my calves are bigger that I thought (I...

    Cramp-Ons

    Which kind to get? I was just told it would be best to have some for my mt goat hunt. He said they didn't need to be real aggressive. Any suggestions?

    Hunt training websites

    My laptop got "re-worked" and the guru dumped all my favorites. I used to have a bunch of Mt Hunting/ Hunt Training websites. I have remembered quite a few but can't seem to remember them all. What do you guys have that you look at I have of course RS but also Traintohunt.com, wilderness...

    My photo sequence on my antelope hunt

    I shot an antelope in ID a few years back. He came in working around the blind but was so curious he wouldn't pass the blind but rather approached it a few different times. The last time he got with in range. I had ranged a rock at 51yds and a small sage bush at 40. He was spooky but angled in...

    Boot Maintenance

    I have a pair of Miendl Perfekt Hunters and this last week while walking in them I noticed they have started to squeak. What do you guys use to, for lack of a better term, soften the leather so they don't squeak? Should I put on a waterproofing agent of some sore that will have a duel purpose of...

    Opinions on my pack list

    Would some of you experienced backcountry hunters take a look at my list and see what you would cut or add? This list is EVERYTHING I will be taking up the mountain on my goat hunt this Aug in BC, including what I'll be wearing. This will be my first extended bivy so it's new to me and I have...
