    Withdraw/Modify Application

    Folks, Just found out I drew a sheep tag in Idaho that will be my focus during September and October, and the Wyoming antelope hunt I applied for probably won't get the attention it deserves. Can you guys remind me of the policy for modifying my hunt choice to points only or withdrawing my...

    Video Editing Software

    Which video editing software are you guys having luck with? I have a Canon HD camcorder that records in AVCHD and am getting into digiscoping with my point-and-shoot Panasonic Lumix LX3 that also records HD video (unsure of the format). I'd like to hear the pros and cons of multiple packages if...

    EARLY Scouting Trip?

    Hey guys. I'm a non-resident and plan on doing my first CO deer hunt in the next 2 to 5 years (currently have 2 PPs). I've done a lot of online research but have yet to lay eyes on any of the units I'm currently considering (the list is still pretty long). I'll be in Denver for work in late...

    Did you guys see this confirmed livestock killing in Baker County? http://www.fws.gov/news/NewsReleases/showNews.cfm?newsId=ABE7999B-9D0D-9463-ACBD90F487ED5595

    Point and Shoot Digital with RAW Output Option

    I'm not a photography expert but appreciate having a camera capable of capturing quality pictures. I have a limited budget (around $400) and am looking to upgrade from my current setup (an older, basic 6 MP Olympus). What do you folks recommend for a point and shoot digital with RAW output...

    Sherpa Adventure Gear

    Anybody try one of these jackets yet? I'm particularly interested in the Lekh model rain jacket. I'm curious about breathability, waterproofing, and durability. They look good in the store but are a little pricey. Any thoughts?

    Elk Cooler

    This year I will be hunting an area that will require me to bone out a bull if I'm lucky. Since I'll be solo, I'm probably looking at a 2 or 3 day pack out (depending on how far I'm back in). I've helped pack out quarters in the past but haven't seen one boned out. How big of a cooler(s) should...

    Owyhee Controlled Deer Tags

    I'm looking for a 2nd choice for my controlled hunt application. What are units 41 and 42 like in terms of deer populations, hunter access, ATVs, and trophy potential? Are these units worth going after as a 2nd choice or would I be better off backpacking into some of the areas available with the...

    Spotting Scope for Backpacking

    I'm ready to purchase a spotting scope but am debating between the standard models (~65mm objective, ~3-4 lb) and compact models (~50mm objective, 1-1.5 lb). I understand the compact models offer a serious weight advantage (which is important because 80% of my hunting is in a backpacking...

    300 H&H Load

    Grandpa passed down his pre-64 300 H&H a few years ago and I'm finally starting to reload. I've found this gun shoots 180 grain rounds particularly well and want to stick with that weight for the deer/elk hunting I do. Bullet (possibly Accubonds, Partitions, Sciroccos, or others) and powder...

    Backpacking Spotting Scope

    I'm debating between the Nikon 13-30x50 Fieldscope ED and the Leupold 15-30x50 Gold Ring Compact. Anyone have experience with or a recommendation on either scope? If you suggest the Nikon route, would it be worth the extra $$ to get the 40x eyepiece? Thanks!

    Owyhee Draws

    Most posts for the controlled hunts in this area seem to be for unit 40. I was curious if anyone has experience with 41 or 42. Fewer overall permits, but better drawing odds. Does this reflect lower quality/numbers of deer, or is it just about the units being more inconvenient to get to? As...
