    Who has completely switch from Bipod to Tripod for backpack hunts?

    300 RSAUM Questions

    If I build a rifle for just about everything why shouldn't I build a 300 RSAUM? I figure I could buy several hundred rounds of a factory load that shot well and with that brass be set for many years on ammo. The rifle would be a custom build, 22" to 24" barrel, hopefully 8 to 8.5 pounds ready to...

    Chassis system on Remington Model 7

    I recently acquired a Remington model 7 in 7mm-08 and really like the rifle as is in its walnut stock. However, the main purpose of this rifle will be my mountain rifle for backcounty deer hunts etc. I would also really like to set it up in such a way that my kids and I could use it on the same...

    Best way to learn hunting with stock

    I have owned horses in the past for recreational riding and some minimal cattle work but all back before I started hunting out west (I live in West Tennessee). Since I only have a couple weeks to spend in the mountains every year and haven’t been in the points game for more than a handful of...

    Dogs in Bear Country

    I hunt with my Lab a lot and really enjoy taking her on my trips out west. She is a well trained waterfowl dog so general obedience and responsiveness is not an issue. When I'm still hunting whitetails I frequently have her with me (she heels great and when I stop she sits immediately) and never...

    Elk packers in the Jackson/Hoback/Alpine WY area

    My brother-in-law and I are looking at a elk hunt in WY either next year or 2021 in the 84, 85, 86, 89, area (not 100% sure yet). Right now I am trying to find out if there are any outfitters in that area that will pack out elk for a fee if you aren't hunting with them. I know we are capable of...

    Cars for Hunting

    I know I've seen several threads on here about which truck/suv may be the ideal hunting rig but I want to know how many of you guys use a car for a hunting rig. When I'm deer hunting near home in TN I use my 1996 F250 but it isn't ideal for 1,400 mile road trips. I can (and have) taken my wife's...

    Wyoming Region H Griz Questions

    I have the points (hopefully) to draw a region H this year if I go solo or maybe share points with a buddy next year if point creep doesn't get to crazy. My main question right now is how are the grizzly populations/densities in certain areas (I realize it varies widely throughout the region)...
