    "Sheep are for Young Men" when hunting is more than just hunting

    Fantastic. Excellent job with the photographs as well. You have a great son, and he has an excptional father. Nice work.

    Win Free Gear #3

    Merino for sure, but I like a little sinthetic blended in there as well. No stink, no itch, cool when its warm, warm when its cool. My favorite base layer at the moment is an OLD 1/4 zip merino patigonia. Would live to get into some Skre though!

    Meateater season 9

    Its not any differnt, or any worse, than all the pagentry bullshit that so many of these "outraged" folks used to gobble up. The truth is that yes, Netflix messed up big time in their promotion of the movie. And yes, it is a film about an uncomfortable topic, young women coming of age, and...

    Let's have your best asparagus recipe.

    I really like to sauté pretty hot in EVOO, and throw in some garlic, red pepper flake, sliced almonds and a healthy squeeze of lemon when its just about done. Or par-bake some bacon for 15 minutes (oven at 420), salt pepper evoo the spears, wrap 2-3 at a time with bacon, return to oven till done.

    Comfiest packs, and why?

    Try lots of good packs on. Put lots of weight in them. Pick the one that is the most comfortable!

    Running Shoes

    Ive always been a believer of "try lots on, buy what fits really well." I just recently got a new pair and surprisingly ended up with some Colombia Montrail's that I've been really happy with so far.

    Fly line brands

    Check out Bozeman Flyworks. Great guys that really did their research and get their lines made at the same factory as some of the major brands, at half (or less than) the price and direct to you.

    Any update @roosiebull ??

    Bear spray or pistol?

    Both for sure. Ideally use they spray first (left hand), circumstances allowing to deter a potential false charge. 44 mag is always coming out in my right hand first though, and is going to be used without hesitation if the situation doesn't allow for a calculated and accurate dose of spray, or...

    MT Elk hunting on the front? Is it worth it with all the grizzly encounters?

    It is getting hectic with the increase in Griz density, but IMHO its just another factor to be prepared for when going into the woods, not something to scare you off. My best advice for making sure you get your animal our of the woods is to take the time to get the meat and trophy well away...

    Eastern Oregon Hunting?

    Following along as I have a pending move to Oregon as well (from MT). Im moving late enough next year that I will be able to get MT tags and come back to hunt next fall, but will be stuck for the next few years hunting OR or getting out of state tags. I do bow hunt, so that should help with OR...

    Lets talk Knees

    I have some serious knee issues, even as a young buck (by some of your standards). Lots of PT is helping, but that doesn't help once the season is upon you. 100% trekking poles, especially when packing meat and or going over lots of deadfall. Also always cutting angles when possible. I probably...

    Which gaiter

    I have some older Kenetreck's that I picked up used, but no signs of wear. They have a fleece feel to them so not loud at all unless they get completely crusted with ice. I've taken them for several walks through swampy 12+" deep water and lots of stream crossings and have had dry feet all...

    What would you do?

    I would take both in your situation. If you glass up a good buck, start the stalk with the rifle in hand and bow on your back. Get to within rifle range. Get set up. If you're excited and want the animal, take the shot. if the tingles aren't there, and he's in a stalkable spot, ditch the gun...

    How to approach?

    Thanks Paul! Were planning to let the area rest for the three weeks until rifle opener, with hope that he will return to his normal pattern. There are a few other areas accessible from the same trailhead that we know hold elk as well, so we have several backup plans, but he is definitely plan A!
