    Wanted: September Dall cape for shoulder mount

    So I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to go on a cancellation Dall sheep hunt this year. Long story short, after I shot the ram at 137 yards head on, he didn't die right there like the internet told me they're supposed to when I googled it ;). He hobbled away into some cliffs and...

    Synthetic bag for sheep season in AK: 0 or 20 degree; what’s your preference and why?

    Let me start off by saying I know many people will say to go with down and that’s what I did last year. I never had a problem with it getting wet and/or jeopardizing my well being in any way, but it was always at the back of my mind. I like the idea of the security a synthetic bag provides. So...

    WTS Thermarest Neoair Xtherm regular

    Xtherm pad, size regular (20"x72", R value 5.7) Nothing wrong with it at all. I realized after less than 10 nights on it that I would be better off with the large size instead of the regular. It's just been sitting rolled up in the stuff sack for a while and is begging to be put to good use...

    Help me pick a quilt!

    I’m looking at getting a down quilt. I’m a stomach sleeper and I’m hoping that a quilt will afford me a better, more comfortable nights sleep than my mummy bag has in the past on hunts and backpacking trips. I love how warm the bag is, I just can’t fall asleep on my back for the life of me, no...

    Wyoming region H scouting

    Are there any roksliders that would be interested in meeting up and doing some trips in to H to scout for deer in the coming weeks before the hunt? I didn't use to think much of doing things like this, but after hearing of people's positive experiences they've had meeting up with previously...

    Crispi Nevadas insulated...true to size?

    To those of you that have, or have had the insulated crispi nevadas, did they fit true to size in your experience? Maybe on the big side, or the small? I'm normally a 10.5, normal width, not looking to get the wide version. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Motorcycles: enduro vs dirt bike

    What do you have and why did you choose to go that route? I'm currently debating buying a bmw 650 Dakar. It's in really good shape and has low miles. I've always liked the idea of the bmw enduros, especially the dakars since they're a version of the 650 gs that's built more for off road. I'm...

    Wyoming mule deer 2017

    I was going to put in for a region H tag this year. I've hunted it before and love the area. But all this talk of really high winterkill rates has me a little leery. I've been keeping an eye on weather in towns in/around the winter range such as big piney and la barge, but since I've only...

    Crispi Nevadas or Lowa tibets?

    Looking at getting some new boots soon. I think I've narrowed it down to either the Crispi Nevadas or the Lowa Tibets. I plan to use these basically all year round: spring shed hunting, summer scouting, and backpack hunting. I've had the Kennetrek Mtn Extreme 400 and have been happy with...

    New gun for wife

    My hunting rifle is currently a Browning X bolt in 300 WSM. My wife has shot the gun several times, but she says it kicks too much for her. I've watched her shoot it accurately for a few shots, and then pretty unaccurately for the next few shots, and this pattern seems to somewhat repeat...

    Rab Neutrino Endurance Down Parka on Massdrop

    The Rab Neutrino Endurance Down Parka is $189.99 on Massdrop. It's rated as weighing 22 oz. with 9 oz. (in a Men's Medium) of 800 fill goose-down. Seems like a pretty good deal, but does anyone have any experience with the jacket, or tried it on even? I'm wondering if it would be a good...

    Idaho mule deer

    Been thinking about putting in for a unit 70 mule deer tag. Anyone had experience in this unit? Possibly harvested there? I've heard some good things but looking to see what all other info I can get. I'm not looking for locations, more along the lines of what to expect deer-wise.

    Camera options

    So it looks like a camera is in my upcoming future for a Christmas gift. I was wondering what peoples opinions are on the subject. I'm looking at some type of point and shoot for now. I do have access to photoshop, so a model that can save images in raw format as well as jpeg is something I'm...
