    Aging Mule Deer

    @robby denning are you still coordinating bulk tooth aging? I seem to recall you doing that a few years back but didn’t see anything about it recently. That or my wife’s right and I really am losing it.

    Canning Resources

    Other than the extension offices, does anyone have any good resources for what can and cannot be canned safely/developing personal recipes? I have a pasta sauce I like to make, generally I’ve just froze it in the past, but would like to store it not needing power if possible. My thought is if I...

    Determining Unit Boundary

    As I’ve been scouting the unit I drew this year I’ve found a meadow that’s frequented by a significant number of cows, given I drew a cow tag that’s fantastic. Unfortunately from what I can see the unit boundary goes right through the meadow, at least that’s what Basemap shows. The unit boundary...

    KUIU Hip Belt Binocular Pouch

    Anyone know of any replacement hip belt pockets for the new KUIU suspension? I use a HPG kit bag for a variety of other items so I can’t put binoculars on my chest. I thought on the hip belt of my pack would be a convenient place but the pockets won’t fit my 10x42’s. Or any other ideas where to...

    Stationary Jacket

    Anyone have any recommendations for a super warm and fairly inexpensive jacket/parka? Work has me standing at a bus stop year round, and February in east Idaho gets a bit chilly at times. Since I’d be using this right out of a car I’m not concerned with it being really light weight or...

    Thermometer

    Does anyone carry a thermometer when in the backcountry? I think it would be nice to have as I dial in my gear, that way I have actual temps to compare ratings to. If you do do you use a cheap mercury type thermometer, a digital, something else? It would be nice to be able to record the lowest...

    Why do we burry our poop?

    I was raised being taught that if you have to go out in the woods then you bury it. Unless I’m in an area where I need to pack it out, I’ll keep burying like I’ve always done. But it got me to thinking, why do we bury it? As far as I’m aware no critters bury theirs, it’s just a people thing. The...

    Ultralight 223

    What options are out there for really lightweight 223 guns? I see sub 5 lb guns out there in bigger cartridges (Kimber Adirondack and Mountain Ascent for example), but I'm not seeing rifles like that chambered in 223. I would think that a really light rifle would pair great with the low recoil...

    4 Month Season - When to Travel?

    My Dad and I both have cow tags this year for a fairly long season (September - December), and are trying to gameplan when we should focus our efforts. I'm close enough that I'll be able to hunt periodically throughout the season, but he has to travel and will probably be limited to right about...

    Huge Kill Numbers

    So I see some guys on here posting about being a part of 100+ kills of a given animal (mule deer being one of the most frequently mentioned). For those of you that are a part of that group, what separates you from the rest of us? Are you just that much better of a hunter than I am (probably some...

    SE Idaho FNG

    Like many a longtime lurker and new poster. SE Idaho by way of Southern CO, prior to that VA. Spent most of my time bass fishing with a little duck hunting mixed in, getting out chasing deer and elk the past few years and looking to do more of that, luckily I've found myself in a pretty great...
