    Rip Hunting DVD Collection to Hard Drive

    Howdy, folks. I have an enormous collection of hunting DVDs (100+) that I'd like to store on a hard drive of sorts so I can get rid of the original discs and save a bunch of physical space. Ideally, the video files would be transferred to an external hard drive while retaining the original...

    Weight of a Bull Moose Backstrap?

    Have any of you recorded actual weight measurements of an average bull moose backstrap? I have a "situation" that isn't worth detailing here, but some firsthand actual weight measurements of a pair of 50" AK Yukon bull moose backstraps would be appreciated. Thanks for any info you can offer.

    Float hunters: how do you load your raft?

    Howdy, folks. I'm heading back to the Brooks in September for my third float hunt. My buddy and I killed a big bull in 2016, but we only took it another 8 miles down the river before take-out. We cut some evergreens, cleaned them up so as not to poke any holes in the raft (Levitator), placed...

    Best deal on lithium AA batteries?

    Howdy, gang. I need to rearm my trail cameras for the year, and I prefer to use lithium AA batteries. I've purchased the Energizer 12 packs the last few years, but they're scarce nowadays. What's the best deal going for reliable lithium AA batteries today?

    Should I wait to buy a house?

    I started typing up a detailed explanation, but my question really boils down to this: will the housing market experience a significant pullback in the next 3 years? Any experienced housing market people here have any opinions or insights? Appreciate any wisdom/experience you can share.

    Turf Toe

    I have this going on with my left foot, and it has me mostly sidelined. Just wondering if any of you have dealt with turf toe, and if so, how you dealt with it, including treatments, braces/tape, etc. Thanks.

    Luci Light in High Temps (peak of Tipi w/ woodstove)

    Have any of you used a Luci Light (LINK) in your tipi with woodstove stoked to the max? Before I order one, I'd like to make sure the light isn't going to go on the fritz if I hang it up near the peak where the temperature gets a mite bit toasty. Literature says it's good to 122 degs F, but I'm...

    Cell Phone as GPS in Brooks Range?

    I'm going on my second Brooks Range float hunt this September, and I need to start mapping out my plan. Last time, I used my Delorme PN-60, and it worked fine, but I'd rather use my cell phone (Samsung S7) this time if I can confirm it'll be reliable. Has anyone here actually used their cell...

    Float Hunting: Dangers of the River

    I went on a float hunt in northern AK for the first time in September 2016. My buddy and I killed a 63" bull moose on day 2, and with the extra 800+ lbs of cargo in our raft, maneuvering became more difficult, and at times unnerving. There was a long stretch of river ahead of us that was going...

    Wrist Intersection Syndrome

    Have any of you dealt with this condition? My right wrist is killing me. I had a cortisone shot put in it about two weeks ago, and it improved for a few days, but it's back with a vengeance. The usual R.I.C.E. routine helps only temporarily. Just wondering if any has figured out the magic trick...

    Most recent aerials for food plot area measurement?

    Anybody know where I can find the most recent aerial photos in an app that provides a means to measure an area? I can see my food plot on my android phone using Google Maps app, but I can't measure area like I can with the desktop version of Google Maps, which only shows a photo prior to my food...

    How waterproof is the Sig Sauer Kilo 1250?

    Sig Sauer calls them "water resistant". I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on one of these, but I want to have some confidence it'll survive hunting in the rain. Have any of you put one to the test in crappy weather? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

    Using onX Maps Offline

    Just want to make sure I understand the way this works before venturing out away from cell coverage. With my phone connected to wifi at home, I tapped the "off-grid" tab and tapped "Save New Map". This brings up the option to save a 5-mile-wide, 10-mile-wide or 100-mile-wide map. I choose "5...

    Condensation

    I'm gearing up for my first backpacking-style elk hunt this fall (September archery). Shelter selection is on my radar and I'm concerned about condensation. The shelter that I'm leaning toward offers a liner, but I'd rather not pack/carry it if I can get away with other remedies for moderating...

    ATV Trail Maps

    I'm beginning to scour aerials of the general area I'm planning to hunt this September in Montana. I wish to identify where the ATV trails are so I can find the areas furthest removed from them. Just wondering if anyone has found some good resources for this information online. The best thing...

    I'm selling my WiFi Stove (size large) and have someone who's interested but would be using it with a Kifaru 8-man tipi. I want to make sure the 3" pipe is the right size for the jack that comes with the Kifaru shelter. I've scoured Kifaru's website and Googled the web and can't find the...
