    WTS Garmin GPSmap 64 & OnX Oregon and North Rockies chips

    I’ve got a garmin gps 64 that’s in great shape, no issues. I’m the original owner. I have the original box, manuals, adapter... basically everything it came with, new. Asking $160 I also have two OnX chips that I’d like to sell as well. I have an Oregon chip as well as a northern Rockies chip...

    Sig 2400abs not syncing profile...

    I got a new 2400abs and got it paired with my phone, it says it’s connected. I built a profile and it will not sync the profile I built, with the rangefinder. I hit the sync button and it says syncing and eventually times out. I tried deleting the app and starting over with the same result. Any...

    Breaking down an elk at night... in grizzly country...

    Thanks guys. I use to live and hunt in Alaska, been to kodiak a couple times, Brooks range many times. Dealing with breaking things down in the dark was never an issue. I feel like the bears are not the same either. Lower 48 bears, I get the impression, are far more aggressive than Alaska bears...

    Breaking down an elk at night... in grizzly country...

    So you shoot a bull in the evening and it takes you a bit to get to him. Now it’s dark out and you need to get this elk taken care of. There’s two of you. What do you do to stay safe in a situation like this? Other than working quickly to get the meat bagged and moved away from the carcass...

    Changes for next year...

    I was happy with my gear this year, felt pretty dialed. Except my calling. Didn’t call a single elk in. Hunted the same area 2 years prior, called in 2 bulls and killed one on day 3. Couldn’t figure it out. So I’d say just keep working on understanding elk.

    Learning to call ... need some help

    Calling isn’t likely to do you any good in November. But there’s lots of tutorials out there though. Look on YouTube at elk101 and elknut aka Paul Medel. Paul has a lot of good stuff out there.

    Last minute WY rifle elk hunt...

    Could you say what the best way to access the unit would be? Coming from Alpine, would it be better to go around to the north and come in off of hwy 26? Or to the south from 191? Looks like you have to go all the way to Cora and then up? Might be faster from the north side???

    Last minute WY rifle elk hunt...

    Indian Summer, thanks for the good advice. I have quality binos and spotter and always pack my gaiters. I just gotta get over and get after it! Wish I had more time, especially with so many good places to go!

    Last minute WY rifle elk hunt...

    I got some good advice from Jasper and spoke via PM, much appreciated! Can anyone tell me about the burn in 83 that happened in I think 2015? I see the north part of the unit as being burned on Google Earth and the imagery says it's from 2014. Was there a more extensive fire that burned more of...

    Last minute WY rifle elk hunt...

    I’ve hunted western Wyoming for 4 years now during archery. I just got home and could not fill my tag. Lost a third of my hunt due to an injury and ended up in the ER. I want to get back and fill my tag during rifle season. I’ve never rifle hunted the state for elk. The area I hunt has lower...

    How would you work this bull

    I killed my bull 2 years ago in a similar situation. Followed him up and called sparingly. Just dogged him until I was able to get up and around on him. Pretty sure he was at his bed. Was 9:30am. I came in on him at about 100 yards and when he bugled, I screamed at him and started thrashing...

    Idaho Seventy Three Deer...

    I drew this tag this year, never hunted it but have nearby on an OTC tag. I’m just curious what I can expect on this hunt. I know it’s unlimited for residents but that the nonres tags were cut way back. It’s a big unit, but quite a bit of private, yet still looks like a lot of room to roam and...

    Hunting near deerlodge, mt?

    Hunted archery there this year. tried east of Deerlodge and the west side above the prison. Only elk we saw was about 600 head on the ranches west of Deerlodge. Pretty disappointing.

    Thoughts on BRO guys?

    These BRO guys hunted the very area I hunt. I was in some of the same drainages in 2017, last time I had the tag. Pisses me off that they’re showing so much country. Corey Jacobsen did the same thing, it was easy for me to know exactly where he was. They both hunted the exact same places. I sent...

    For this reason, I hope they never step foot anywhere near where I hunt.

    I cannot find elk!

    I’ve killed a few elk, been at it for quite a few years. Partners and I have done well the last three years. Mostly covering ground just trying to locate vocal elk. We got completely skunked this year. First time to Montana, hunted three different areas in western MTV cause we couldn’t find sign...
