    What's Left in Your Prep?

    Check and change batteries in a few things. I should probably see how old my bear spray is. I don't know if it loses propellant or the spice loses its potency. Maybe nothing goes wrong with it but I always like to have one that is within it's use by date. Especially with as many grizzlies as we...

    Pre-season to In-season Scouting Questions

    Agreed. Definitely lots of glassing. Especially preseason and early season. Once the hunting pressure increases I rely on glassing less to find elk. If I'm not finding elk I start covering ground looking for sign. If they are pressured they might not come out in the daytime but they still leave...

    Saskatchewan spring bear

    Looks like a big head on that guy.

    2024 Whitetails

    Your definition of decent seems to be different than mine. Those look like some giants to me.

    A September to remember and how I am planning it.

    I don't go through my gear anymore. Instead I rely on last minute panic and throw all of my gear in a bag and then I spend the first several days wondering why I am missing so many important items. It's not a system that I recommend. Several years ago I shot a deer and then realized I didn't...

    Scenario: What Do You Do?

    I assume if I can see his eyes then he can see me so I am staying in that spot until he stands and I am shooting from there. If he looks away and I can move without being seen I will move to get the wind better but I wouldn't try to get closer in the open unless the wind is good and his head is...

    Giveaway!!! Choice of Gerber Knife

    This website used to do more giveaways and had more traffic back then. I don't know if the two are related but hopefully this drums up more interest from folks.

    Missouri bucks

    Several nice bucks there. I used to run cameras mostly just to see what kind of photos I could get but I haven't since my last one went belly up on me. Your photos make me want to get back into it.

    Broadheads

    I haven't used either but I prefer fixed blades for everything for the same reason I use a whisker bisquit rest. Fewer moving parts means fewer things to go wrong.

    2024 Elk plans?

    OTC in my home state of Idaho for me. I got an elk last year but elk encounters were extremely low and that's the same thing I heard from everyone I know who hunts there. Our fish and game department doesn't do any population surveys in this part of the state so there aren't really any...

    Backcountry Mileage

    I hike as much as 14 miles a day while hunting without many problems other than soreness. I am 44 and I won't say I'm out of shape but I have been in better shape than I am now. Everywhere I hunt I am within a mile or two of a trail or gated road I can get a meat cart on so my pack outs aren't...

    Does anyone want to see fish on here?

    I like deadbaiting for pike in the spring almost as much as elk hunting. I caught this one this spring. My biggest fish. It was 32.5 lbs and 45" long. I tried to release her but she floated back to the surface. I held her on the side of the boat for about 10 minutes and she swam away but I...

    New Mexico Unit 45

    It should be good for feed. Unless it burned so hot that is scorched the ground. That will take a long time to come back but if it's been two years since the fire those areas should be full of stuff growing.

    How I plan to cool meat.

    Beings this is basically a big fridge my parents use it frequently to store food when they are having a BBQ. It cools down to 34 degrees. My mom will also store root vegetables in it during the winter. We can put a light with an incandescent bulb (if you can find one) in one end that gives off...

    How I plan to cool meat.

    Here are a few photos. I would like to do something to clean up the cords and cables hanging on one end but I haven't done anything with that yet. If you notice a dark spot in the top of the wall in one photo it was a moth that I didn't see when I was taking photos.

    How I plan to cool meat.

    I've been meaning to resurrect this old thread as there have been a few changes to our walk-in cooler. I can't see the old photos on this thread anymore but it was essentially a wooden cooler with styrofoam insulation. I built a new house for my parents and then later we built a new shop for my...

    Idaho draw results are out

    8 years in a row that I didn't draw arguably one of the easiest tags in the entire state to get. My mom didn't draw it this time either so I'm not alone.

    New Mexico Unit 45

    I'm in North Idaho so it might not translate very well but that long after the rut with winter approaching I would be looking at whatever elevation has the most available food sources.

    Sounds like a full month. Hopefully you are successful. And post lots of pictures.

    Got my apps in..

    I never got on Facebook because it looked like a bunch of crap that I had no interest in. I don't wish I was on it. My wife is always complaining about how she doesn't have enough time for the things she wants to do but I see her spend hours a day on her phone looking at facebook. She could...
