    Advice on using preference points

    051 has plenty of big bucks if you are willing to get after it a bit.

    Lightweight Spotting Scope

    I bought a Minox ED50 for backpack hunts and have been very happy with it. My regular scope is a Swarovski 65 HD. It is fairly packable as well but not as much as the Minox. The minox holds it's own considering how small it is.

    zaberlain boots?

    I have previously owned, and worn out Meindl Perfect Hunters, Alaskans, and Denalis. All were great boots and I've been happy with Meindls but due to the fact I could get them 50% off through a pro deal! I decided to give the Zamberlan 960 Guides a try. They've been fantastic. I've only had...

    Back problems

    I'm 38 and have had back problems since I first hurt myself doing dead lifts as a senior in high school. Both my parents have had back issues so I was probably destined for it regardless. I have three bulging discs. I've done a lot to alleviate the pain that comes and goes and the times it "goes...

    The Revenant Movie

    I thought it was good overall. CGI of the wolves killing the Bison was poor, but the CGI of the bear attack was pretty impressive. Acting and scenery were both good.......elk bugling in the winter was weird. Actors that don't know how to sit a horse and ride, portraying guys that spent their...

    Antelope Cape Value

    Solicited a few taxidermists in the Boise area, only had one offer of $30. Figured it was pretty low but might be the only option. It does have a pretty good sized hole in the brisket from a graze wound.........

    Antelope Cape Value

    What is a good antelope buck cape worth? Caped out my mature buck from this fall with the thought of getting him mounted....decided to do a Euro instead. I have the cape rolled and frozen.

    camera found

    LAST EDITED ON Mar-19-15 AT 10:51AM (MST)[p]Eel, it was an older Sony Cybershot....pretty crazy, I got a call from NPR and was interviewed and aired nationaly on All Things Considered.....also made the cover of the Idaho Statesman, all for losing a camera!

    camera found

    I'll share me post from the Idaho forum.... Thanks all. Yes, it was my camera and let's just say the post has gone somewhat viral. The original post on Facebook has now been shared over 17,000 times (now 18,500+), even though I was in contact with the finders within the first 12 hours! It's...

    Gutless cleaning

    I was a holdout on gutless for a long time but am now a convert. I can field dress and bone out an animal in about an hour. Tenderloins are easy to get once you know where they are and how to go about it....no saw necessary. I also love to eat heart and always take it with the gutless method as...

    Sheep Gun?

    Don't think you started a fight.......there is just a lot of sensitive folk on MM. Don't take my comments the wrong way (as a few others already have). Fact of the matter is, a sheep gun should be just as accurate as an elk gun, or a deer gun, or an antelope gun...all those critters deserve the...
