    Best mountain man/Wild West books

    Just finished “Jim Bridger- Mountain Man” a biography by Stanley Vestal. It covers his entire life. Interesting read and informed me on quite a bit I had no idea about. I’d recommend it.

    Unit 68

    I was up there a few years ago on a third season hunt and it dumped. Luckily I had a four-wheeler but chains would be a must have to get around otherwise. There was one guy who must’ve slid his truck into a tree because the front of his truck was smashed.

    Wood River Ranch elk

    I’m hoping to get some opinions on first hand experience with them. I’m looking at 2024. This would be an all in type scenario for me. Between my meager earnings and never going to be in a preference point position like this ever again, I really want to make this count. Looking for the...

    Maven 12x50 vs 12x42

    The trade off with that much magnification in a 42 is smaller exit pupil diameter (think low light performance). You won’t be getting that image just “popping up” effect as well with a smaller objective and high magnification. The point I’m trying to make, I’d definitely go 50.

    Burnt euro help

    I self admittedly screwed the pooch and fell asleep on the job resulting in all the water cooking off inside the metal tub I was using to do a euro on this year’s buck. I’ve done several in the past with great success so I’m going to chalk this up to complacency. The skull is no longer and the...

    Utah general elk tags

    I started trying right at 08:00 and it took me until 1:30 to get one. That was after getting kicked out on the final payment screen once and using 3 computers, an iPad, and my phone waiting. This was a big win for the DWR. Now next year they can institute a point system for general season...

    Call Mike Lee NOW!

    Romney and Lee voted nay. I had sent both a message in favor of the act prior to the vote.

    What should I be looking for?

    Cameraland (a sponsor here on MM, and even if they weren't I'd highly recommend them) has a smoking deal on some Meopta rifle scopes right now. I have a pair of their binos and they are top notch. Way above the glass you've mentioned.
