    Trails cams, when to starting hanging them?

    Hey guys, looking for some input.  I got a decent trail cam last year and was able to put it out a few times just to see how the thing worked.  When it came time to do some serious scouting, the fire season was so bad here in NW MT that they were talking about closing down the forests.  Wasn't...

    Hydration and the EXO 3500

    Hey guys, looking for a little help.  I bit the bullet and finally bought the new EXO 3500 this summer.  I was planning on using my Camelbak bladder with this pack, is the slurpy stalker the only way?  Anyone have any suggestions/ideas?  Any other tricks people might have?

    Caribou gear bags, are they worth it?

    I've been researching a lot for the last year or so and felt like Caribou was the way to go.  However, everywhere I've looked has been completely sold out of the Wapiti pack (the one I really wanted) until today. I decided to pick it up but am not sold on it yet.  I have cheap set of Alaskan...

    After reading the last couple issues of Extreme Elk, in particular Randy Newbergs articles, I pulled out my maps and started scouting.  He mentions looking for tight topo lines separated by larger gaps to locate benches where bulls might hole up during the late season.  How big/subtle of a gap...

    Logging

    I was able to get my mountain bike out this weekend and do a little scouting.  My wife and I arrived at a gated road that I have hunted several times only to find out that it had been significantly improved.  The further we rode, the more evident it was they were about to start logging. I know...

    Black Gold Surge Sight

    I'm just getting into bow hunting and am in need of a good sight.  Not really ready to spend $180 on a sight but came across a Surge yesterday at a local shop for $79.  Has anyone used this sight or have any other recommendations under $100? Sorry if there is another thread on this already but...
