I read a more thorough article on it that said it was on private land and the owner had a depredation permit allowing the use of foothold traps for coyotes. The article I read also mentioned the initial assumption was that it was a released domesticated wolf or escaped captive wolf but wasn't...
Anytime. No way I would shoot off the outdoorsman. I finally broke one of the leg mechanisms on my Slik 522 tripod last November, so I've been looking at the Leofoto tripods to replace it and be able to shoot off it. I love it for glassing though. Might be a little weak for the Kowa 88, but I've...
I went to the western hunt expo when I was living in SLC and tried on stone glacier, kifaru, and exo with weight in each pack. Exo fit me the best and felt like a good middle-ground between the minimalist SG and the heavy-duty kifaru. I went with the 3500 since I haven't done any backcountry...
1 - Go to CPW hunting statistics and they publish the drainage every goat was killed in previous years. This gives you a very good starting point before paying for a map.
2 - I use an outdoorsmans micro pan head that is solid for 65 mm spotters. I think people are using the Tricer heads now...
Man, when I saw 5 new pages of Rokstok posts over the weekend, I was hoping they started shipping the LE green stocks. Happy Monday everyone.
Also, @plebe UM capped the quantities of each rokstok model when the presale went live 12/21. I don't remember for sure but I thought it was 100 of the...
I can PM you the unit to see if it was, but I don't think this guy was very close to your height. If you don't mind sharing, what is the strategy walking up on a wallow while archery hunting? I would think the odds of getting a decent shot before a bull took off would be pretty low, but my...
And every few years, an archery hunter is shot by a muzzleloader hunter in CO, so probably not the best example to use if you're trying to prove the point that orange is unnecessary.
I was sitting 60 yds off a wallow surrounded with thick aspens with my muzzleloader a couple years ago in CO. An...
I wear orange to meet the requirements in whatever state I'm hunting in. I don't go out of my way to wear orange if not required.
The vest is a pain with western big game hunting constantly shedding and putting on layers in the mornings and evenings. I don't think I would hunt OTC rifle seasons...
I’m in CO now so I just shoot max 84 gr by weight since I can’t tell the difference between groups with open sights. I did some grouping 10+ years ago in Kansas when I was hunting with a scope and I think I was around 75 gr of blackhorn with the TMZ 290s. That was all 3 shot groups though so who...
I've only been to 25 countries, but New Zealand has been my favorite to-date. We spent 3 weeks and covered both islands, but a month would be about perfect. Great kid-friendly destination with awesome hikes, nature, history. We rented a camper van which makes it easy to be mobile and have a...
Yes it was a separate option you could pick on the website. I think it was $25. It’s not on the rokstok order drop-down though, it’s a separate product.
