Crossed last fall no issues. Just check what the current regs are. I don't recall even being asked about food. Also, just in case, suppressors and handguns are a no no.
I would also add to the conversation, especially for anyone travelling a distance to get to their hunt, sat coms are cheap insurance if anything goes wrong. If you watch any survival or missing shows, you just think "that guy would be fine if he just had one." It's not a cure for stupid...
There's a few reasons.
1. I ran an InReach for several seasons, with a few different phones and it was always buggy. This made me loose confidence in it.
2. Zoleo gives you a dedicate SMS number. If you want someone to contact you, they can just text it like any other cell. There's no...
I'd add snakebite gaiters. Not for the snakes, but for everything else that can poke you out there. I had a yucca stab me and break off. Required an ER visit to remove.
I haven't parsed the draw for WY antelope yet this year, but my take so far:
Numbers are of course down in most of the state, which will push the points needed up. I used to say you could have a decent hunt every other year (1 point), but I'd push that to 2-3 now. For a good hunt (more bucks...
I'm hoping someone else might be able to shed some light on this:
In the woods this last month chasing elk and stumbled upon a 15ft circle of trees with spray painted numbers at the base. We were two miles in and off trail on USFS. They started with one at about southeast and went clockwise up...
Just a suggestion to you all looking to take your WFA or WAFA, it is well worth your time and money to invest in the Wilderness First Responder (WFR). The increased level of skill is significant. You'll feel much more confident and prepared for wilderness emergency care.
I have 2 in jail. Both submitted 11/9/22. One was just approved today, 6/27/22: 230 days. No word on the second one. Interestingly though, I did call ATF today to check on my application and was told it wad pending. I also sent a request to my Representative on it. Curiously coincidental or not?
My buddy Charlie Jacoby runs Fieldsports in the UK, he'd be an excellent resource. I had him on my podcast last year about UK hunting. I have two others from France and Spain that'll drop soonish. But if you go west, you'll find those more alpine settings that you'll really be looking for.
Sous vide to 160. Remove and pat dry. Season with fresh cracked black pepper and salt. In medium heat cast iron melt 3tbsp salted butter, couple cloves of garlic, and a shallot. Sear on both sides and allow to rest 5 minutes before slicing. You can also do a redwine-huckleberry reduction as...
There will be a taxidermist at the gate with a trailer displaying shoulder and euro mounts. He does a brisk business and the price was reasonable as I recall.
I did this hunt a couple of years ago and sat down with Gilbert and recorded a couple hour long DIY guide on the experience. Truly...
Like all wildgame, fieldcare and tablecare are crucial to how it tastes on the fork. I've eaten a lot of critters from around the world and would put an antelope backstrap against anything else.
My fieldcare suggestions: remove skin ASAP and get on ice.
My tablecare suggestions: cook to...
I thin we are the at base of the peak, on our way up still.
1. More people want to source their own protein, and are willing to pay a premium to do that. That means the more people will be hunting and the price won't matter.
2. Application numbers have not subsided since the "end" of the...
I've had three F150s with the EB and I'll have a fourth. I've not had any major issues with any of them, trade in around 250k for the next one. I tow my travel trailer with easily, and get around 12mpg. I do regular maintenance and keep it in good repair. But, I do hunt it hard and put more...
