    Google Earth Scouting

    Been looking at GE this morning ... luckily, the image was from the middle of elk season a couple years ago. This is great information. I can look at the map to see the \"obvious\" camp spots and access points and then look at GE to see how many of them were used, and by how many vehicles...

    I think this has been covered before, but ... Anyone know where to get sunglasses that don\'t have any reflection?

    Let there be light

    I\'m finally getting cataract surgery done tomorrow. I can\'t wait to be able to see more clearly. This should be a major upgrade for my hunting, and perhaps for my shooting, too. (Although, I was never a good shot, but I doubt the triple-vision in my left eye and double-vision in my right eye...

    First Week Tactics

    Well, it\'s going to be the first week of September for me this year. What tactics do you find are BEST-suited to the first week? Aside from the passive tactics, like treestand hunting, what calling do you use? In short, how do you take advantage of the first week, and the special...

    Elk Refuge at Jackson Hole

    I had the opportunity to go out on the elk refuge at Jackson Hole on Saturday, and it was great ... For those who haven\'t been there, it\'s a neat place. We were taken out on a horse-drawn sleigh and were near a herd of 600-700 elk ... many well within my effective archery range. It was great...

    Rookie Mistakes to Avoid

    I plan on taking two rookies elk hunting this year: My buddy I\'ve known since about 1980, and his son. They want to avoid \"Rookie Mistakes\". I consider myself in the \"Intermediate\" level of elk hunter, but not too far from \"Rookie\"! Post \"Rookie Mistakes to Avoid\" here, so I can...

    Please, drive carefully

    I watched this happen today. Just behind the tanker truck when the pickup crossed the center line for whatever reason. I got out right away, but there was no use. The pickup was engulfed in flames ... the driver was obviously dead already. There was nothing to do but stop traffic and call the...

    Cataract Operation Scheduled

    Well, I finally pulled the trigger and scheduled a cataract operation for April. My vision started going bad about a year ago, and I\'ve tried multiple pairs of glasses since then. I can see now, but not well, and since the eyes are so different (my left one is useless at distance) my depth...

    Annual "What Week in September" Thread

    A perennial favorite topic to love or hate or both ... What week of September is best for what type of hunting? Here\'s my situation: hunting southern Wyoming ... I\'ll be in a new area ... I\'ll have ample time to count ... I\'ll be hunting with two men, father and 18 year old son, both...

    Start My Hunt Maps

    Well, I met up with Mike (from Start My Hunt) at the ISE Show in Denver last weekend and actually got a chance to see his maps. They\'re very good. I could see where they should be very helpful if I ever draw the unit I\'m looking for. Unlike any maps I\'ve seen before. My only complaint is...

    New pack -- Icon Pro

    My two boys surprised me with a great Christmas gift: a new pack! It\'s a Kuiu Icon Pro 5200. I\'m really impressed with the fit, and can\'t wait to try it out. I think I may get the 1850 bag as well for daypack use, but if I end up taking a caribou trip in 2017, it\'ll be perfect. Perfect...

    Skull came home tonight.

    I got my rifle bull back tonight. Matt at Rocky Mountain Headhunters did a GREAT JOB!!! The right main beam was shot dead center with my second round, and the right third was never found. Matt was able to recreate this bull\'s rack, though, and now the biggest problem I have is finding the...

    Inventory

    This weekend I went through and cataloged all of my firearms and ammo, as well as accessories. Took photos, documented serial numbers, etc. I am not a \"gunny\" ... or, at least I don\'t consider myself a \"gunny\". I am a mediocre shot and consider myself a \"gun owner\" but that\'s about it...

    2016 New Boots

    I\'m looking for advice on elk hunting boots for 2016. Currently, I have a pair of Cabela\'s Meindls. I have had them now for 4 years, and they are still waterproof and are holding up well. They do have one issue: I got them very wet and as they dried, the right boot became a little...

    A Lemon from Ruger

    My brother-in-law visit this weekend. He\'s a non-gunny kind of guy, but he announced that he was wanting to change that. And he was ready to go shopping. Cool ... I love shopping with other people\'s money. So, we went down to the local shop in Laramie and looked around. They had several...

    Sandhills hunt

    The truck is loaded and we are headed to Nebraska Sandhills for the last four days of the rifle deer season. Scott, my neighbor, is looking for a mature whitetail. I\'m after a mule deer. We will have limited reception so there may not be updates until next week. Unless we come home early!

    Two more Pronghorn

    Well, elk season is over ... for now (I might chase them with a rifle) ... so lately I\'ve been assisting others while they hunt pronghorn. The first was \"Not Your Usual Pronghorn Hunt\". My neighbor and I have noticed that while riding in the high country in the summers, there are...

    Moon Phase

    We had some trouble this year (compared to years past) hearing bugles where I hunt. I\'ve hunted roughly the same week now for 4 years. I was wondering if moon phase had anything to do with it. 2012 ... waning moon, great action 2013 ... waxing moon, best year 2014 ... waning moon, good...
