I hunted Dagestan Tur last year in Azerbaijan and all said and done with tips, airfare, hotels, custom brokers, shipping fees and etc, it was about the cost of a guided dall hunt in Alaska at current prices. And yes, it is one of the hardest and most dangerous hunts on the planet in terms of...

I have sets of both of these boots and they are both excellent. The mountain guides are a bit stiffer for sure and takes longer to break them in. Its a specialized boot for steep conditions and backpacking but I pretty much use them for all my hunting. My extreme's have 1000 g insulation so I...

Thanks everyone for your input. Since the overwhelming majority indicated the outdoorsman, I went with that one. I got the medium version as I spend most of my time glassing sitting down and I ordered the pistol grip as well. I also ordered a couple of adapter plates. So I should be good to...

What does this post have to do with elk hunting? You never did say how you hunt and what makes you so special and better then the rest? Please do explain.

What are your recommendations for tripods suitable for long range back pack hunting that are study but lighweight. I was thinking in the 2 lb range. I love my manfretto for glassing when I don't have to pack it, but its not suitable for backpacking. I see the outdoorsmen out of arizona has a...

What are some of the tricks that you use for getting rid of the nasty tasting water one gets with using new H20 bladders for your back pack. In the past with new bladders, I've filled them up with lemon juice and water and let sit for a couple of days in a dark, cool spot. Kind of works. I...

Oh no, I hope this doesn't lead to a bunch of posts that it was one of Utah's premier outfitters (who shall remain nameless) and they are already blocking roads prior to hunting season and that a friend of a friend who's third cousin's grandpa saw them doing it! I wouldn't worry too much about...

93Trojan, That is an outstanding post! Thanks for that. That misinformed fellow provoked my first post as well. How much do you wanna bet he doesn't even respond back? Good luck on your Monroe hunt and I hope you get a slammer and have a great experience. Post some pictures of your elk...

+1 on the Leupold range finders. Stay away from them. I was thinking about leaving mine out so somebody would steal it from me, but then I was afraid they would try and use it and then become disgruntled and give it back to me by throwing it through my window! I use a Leica CRF 1600 and it...

I have both the Mountain Extreme 1000g and the Alaska Guide Boots with the 400 g insulation. I originally purchased the Alaska guide model for backpack sheep hunting due to their extra stiffness. They pretty much save my life on my last sheep hunt due to the steepness and extreme country...
