    WTS AGC Bino Harness & Free Phone Skope

    Hey guys, I have two items. 1) Phone Skope case for an iphone 7. It's in perfect condition. I bet I only used it a couple times. I sold my spotter and upgraded my iphone. So I don't need it. It's free to anyone who can use it. All I ask is that you pay the shipping and whatever padded...

    Familiar w/ CO Sheep unit S1 and 18?

    I was fortunate enough to draw a Rocky Mountain sheep tag in Colorado for unit S1 (also good for unit S18 too). It's a Sept season, any weapon. The unit is just West of Fort Collins. Anyone have experience in that area... hunting sheep or even seeing sheep? I'm a non-resident, so scouting...

    WTS Rage Hypodermic's 100gr and more

    As much as people always debate expandables, I have loved Rage broad heads and had great success. They've been devastating for anything I shot with one and I love the long range accuracy you get with them. That said, I moved to a State the doesn't allow expendables, so it's a waste to keep...

    Boot Trade - Size 13 for something sized 11.5-12

    These are high quality Merrell Hiking / Hunting Boots. I don't recall the exact price, but I believe somewhere around $250-$300 give or take. I've been on a never ending quest to find a pair of boots that fit my feet for backpacking. The list of brands I've tried borders insanity. I bought...

    BHA - misuse of Political Affiliation data?

    Looking for a second opinion here, because I might be hyper sensitive to politics these days...or my goal to avoid it. I've been a BHA member for a couple years. I like them because they represent my values in preserving the outdoor heritage. Politically I consider myself an independent...

    DIY training weight setup for backpacks

    I'm sure most guys aren't "training" for their backpack hunts any more...as most seasons are starting and you're hoping to come out "heavy". But I wanted to share the DIY setup I've been using the past 6 months for training. I never liked using bags of sand, water or other weights in my pack...

    Bike trailer for hunting/fishing

    DIY Bike trailer for hunting/fishing I always wanted to try a bike trailer to access the backcountry for hunting and fishing. There's definitely some fire roads that are closed during the hunting season where riding a bike and using a trailer would really save a lot of time and energy. Plus...

    What do you use to wake up in the backcountry?

    When you are backpack hunting, what do you use to wake up before sunrise? I have one of the classic triathlon watches and set the alarm, but if my hand is down in the sleeping bag or under the pillow then I often sleep through it. More often than not I stress about over sleeping that I just...

    California wolf pack expanding

    It pains me to read about the wolf pack expanding in California after seeing the impact they had on my hunting area in Idaho. California already has enough issues with declining deer populations. I suspect it will only be a few years before the wolves cover the entire Sierra Nevada. Second...

    Tripod/Trekking pole combo - Nightforce came out with one

    I've wanted to DIY something like this for years. Seems redundant to carry two trekking poles and a tripod with 3 legs on a backpack hunt. I always felt I should be able to combine them and save weight. Glad to see Nightforce took on the challenge and hopefully some other companies will...

    Ever hydrographic/dip your stock?

    I'm thinking about having a stock dipped. Locally I'm getting pretty expensive price quotes for a standard carbon fiber film. I think a single stock is just too small an order for them. If you've had a stock dipped, how much did it cost? Any recommendations for places to do it.....and/or...

    Hey guys, We're thinking about moving from CA and Bend, Oregon is on our short list of considerations. I'm predominantly an archery hunter (elk/mule deer) and fly fisherman (steelhead/trout), but dabble in rifle and shotgun hunting as well. I would like to get a sense for the hunting around...

    Ultra Light Kestrel and Tyto Knife question

    After trying a number of ultra light knives I've been very happy with my current knife setup (Gerber Vital), but as a gear junkie I'm always looking at new gear and tweaking my backpacking setup. The Kestrel and Tyto knives have caught my eye (I'm probably just too bored in the off-season). My...

    Q for those with BigAgnes Copper Spur UL2 and BA sleeping pad

    I have the BA Copper Spur UL2 and their insulated sleeping pad (insulated air core ultra). Both two years old now. Do you guys notice the pad makes a lot of noise from rubbing on the tent floor when you roll over? I never paid much attention, but another guy in camp (who was 20 ft away) said...

    Should Western Hunting Expo take a stand for Public Lands?

    Shouldn't Western Hunting Expo take a stand for Public Lands? Sounds like the Western Hunting Expo was a huge success this year. It looks awesome and I hope to make the trip to attend some day. But it also got me thinking that this event is held in Utah. I follow the public land debate...

    60 Minutes on Remington Triggers

    My wife and I watch 60 Minutes most nights as we eat dinner. It was interesting to see the Remington trigger issue/recall being covered. After the story this created some spirited debate on gun safety, the role of media, guns don't kill people or people kill people, etc. I'll admit 60 minutes...
