    Bono bivy for 15’s

    Going to AK on a moose drop and needing to cut gear weight. We are quickly finding out how little 50 lbs of gear and food is. I usually have my 10’s around my neck and 15’s and spotter in the backpack for glassing off the tripod. I don’t want to give up the spotter so I’m thinking about using my...

    Unit 15

    My daughter has a youth 15 muzz tag October 6-10. We were wondering if it is worth picking up a bear tag? We only want to focus on the elk hunt but she would love to take a bear if the chance presented itself. What is the likelihood of seeing any bears? Thanks

    Mountain goat hopes

    I know I'm just wishful thinking about having a mountain goat tag but if I could beat the 2% non resident draw odds in unit 3-1, what outfitter would be recommended. I know it's a long shot but these applications and dreams of having a good tag keep me sane during the application period and...

    Youth elk unit 34 success

    My son and I enjoyed a great hunt together. After passing on this bull 2 separate times earlier in the hunt, he decided it was time to take him. The smile on his face all the way home made the 1100 mile one way trip all worth it. We did get a chance after his hunt to look at some ibex on the...
