    Does anywhere compare to Newfoundland for opportunity and cost?

    Pretty much the title. NF clearly has a lot going for it for opportunity and cost. Is there anyplace else that could come close in opportunity in the same or better price range? I'd be comparing a fly-in NF hunt compared to anywhere else, but I'd drive to the Rock. I'm from Pittsburgh so the...

    Musings of a Middle Aged Rookie

    I wasn’t sure I’d put a write-up on here but after thinking about it I decided there might be some tidbits in here that would help some guys (or girls) shorten the learning curve or save a headache along the line after finishing up my archery hunt this year. Background – third archery elk hunt...

    Bargain Archery Elk Clothing Field Experience

    I recently got back from CO on a mid season archery hunt. I figure I'd throw my 2 cents in answering some questions that I had prior to leaving. I was in SW CO and the weather was spectacular. Low 60s for highs and high 20s low 30s at night. I did see some frost a couple mornings and managed...

    0-1 point WY Skinny

    I know we are mid season right now, but I am looking for someone to bounce some northeastern WY rifle antelope questions. I have some general and fairly specific questions but I don't want ask anyone to go public with any of their hard earned knowledge. I've read about every thread on WY here...

    Gutless Styles

    I know a lot of it probably comes down to personal preference, but can anyone recommend their favorite video demonstrating the gutless method? I've watched Paul's and Randy Newberg's videos and while the results are similar, the process is somewhat different. Paul doesn't open the back with a...

    Hunting near the border....

    For CO (or any western state) what's anyone's thoughts or what rules might be in place that I haven't found about accessing the edges of a unit? If you hunt an oddly shaped unit like with a projection in it from a neighboring unit, can you cut across the other unit to take the shortcut to the...

    Costco Gear

    There are not many Costcos around my house, mostly Sams Club, but we joined on a Groupon the other day and are headed there shortly. Other than the Costco Puffy for $33, what other Costco gear should I look at that including stuff that is typically found in store only? First year back west and...

    CO Unit 70/71

    First year in CO and fires have already re-routed my plans for the OTC units I had intended to hunt. I am looking to move units and have a couple of specific questions about Unit 70/71 for someone who has boots on the ground experience in either or both units during archery or muzzleloader...

    Critters and Such on the Grand Mesa

    Think units like 42, 43, 52, 421, 521...what sort of critters do I need to be concerned with in these areas? I'm looking at the end of archery elk season and being anywhere from 9000-11000 feet. I'll not be headed to the Raggeds or anywhere like that. What sort of pests/predators do I need to...

    Windicator / Wind checker. How much?

    How much windicator do I need to hunt archery 7-9 days? I’d never take just one - maybe one and a spare in the pack somewhere. Is that enough? I don’t really have a feel for how long it’s going to last.

    Sold Cabela’s Alaknak 12x20

    I have a 12x20 Alaknak that I’d like to sell. I put caked it up used for $300 on a whim because I knew they list for $1200 at Cabela’s. I think the lady selling it lost her husband a few years ago and just wanted it gone. I bought it in the bag hoping everything was there. It’s probably...

    Eddie Bauer Guide Pro Pants - What color with Subalpine?

    Title pretty much says it all - If you were buying EB Guide Pros, what color bottoms would you run with Subalpine camo? Some of the colors seem like they would really clash, especially to us humans :). Saddle, Slate Green and Lt Khaki seem like the top three contenders currently on the website.

    "Easterners", how did you pick your first CO OTC Unit?

    So I've been elk hunting one time all the way back in 1999, DIY archery in AZ. Another PA guy and I drew and we got in elk day one and were in the for 5 days until we both harvested. Life then happened and I have not returned. I started a few years ago buying points in WY and then applying in...

    WTS Silver Leupold Vari-X Compact 3-9x33

    Older Leupold Compact 3-9 in the discontinued silver color. While it's older, it is still one of the lightest weight 3-9s out there and is a good choice for an ultralight weight mountain rig. One small scratch on the ocular housing. Rings included. $340 TYD

    NM now requires license purchase for draw - impact?

    What do you all think the impact will be, if any, of the new requirement that you must have a hunting license this year to be in the draw for any big game draw tags? For residents, probably zero impact. For NR, it's an extra $65 for what amounts to a lottery ticket in a lot of units for elk...
