    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...

    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...

    Cross Canyon Arms

    I was thinking of taking my factory rifle into these guys to have a bunch of work done on it, including accurizing, brake installation, fluting, etc. Just curious if anyone has any experience with their work.

    LAST EDITED ON Feb-08-18 AT 03:06PM (MST)[p]Currently sitting on 9 moose points and I'm at a crossroads of whither or not to keep in the game given the $150 bonus points now and the nearly $2,000 tag IF I'm lucky enough to draw. I got out of the Montana sheep, moose, and goat game when they...

    Non-res application sticker shock

    Just looked over the 2014 proclamation and if I'm reading it right it is now going to cost $220 to apply for sheep, moose, and goat. I liked it better when you ponied up the tag fee. Seriously considering if it is worth staying in the game or if I should just cut my losses now. This has...

    Tipping for guided hunt?

    I'm leaving in a couple weeks on my first guided hunt for sheep in Alaska. The outfitter is guiding me himself along with a packer. My questions are: how much is fair to tip for the packer and where the outfitter himself is guiding me,is a tip still in order for him?

    Helicopter caught on video

    I was out on the extended archery yesterday when I had this happen. He circled around me a couple times REALLY close, so I know he saw me and still proceeded to land twice. The first time it was just above me and by the second time I had got my phone out to catch it. The video does not do it...

    12B West early

    Need some of your opinions. I'm planning on heading down there in a few days and was wondering what is the best access into the unit if coming from the north pulling a trailer. I was planning on focusing on the Buckskins. I've heard that the hunt is so migration dependent that scouting a month...

    12B West early

    I'm already praying for snow but does someone have any other ideas? With it being so early this year I'm a little nervous, or at least not very hopefully. Just curious how others have faired in the past and any pointers they might have. Before I go looking around down there, I was wondering...

    water purifiers

    I was wondering what other guys are using for water filtering and purifying. Has anyone had any experiences with the new ultraviolet pens or MSR's little gizmo or is going old school with tablets still best?

    Nosler Custom Ammo

    Does anyone have any experiences with their ammo? I've found a pretty good deal on it and was wondering how it stacked up against other premium ammunition. I currently shoot Black Hills Gold in my gun but I'm always on the look out for something better. My Black Hills is topped off with...

    Anyone use a monopod?

    I've been contemplating about purchasing a monopod (specifically the Vortex) that I can mount my binoculars to for extended glassing. I was thinking it would be a good way to cut down on weight and would be easier than setting up a tripod everytime I sat down. I was just wondering if anyone...

    Nevada or Arizona

    Alright, I'm trying to decide on what state to add to my list of applications. I missed the Arizona elk and pronghorn this year but Nevada is now coming up. Money is an issue and probably couldn't swing both. So if you guys had to choose, which one would you choose and why? Also, I would be...

    NR Bonus point purchase

    Well, I barely missed the boat on applying for elk in AZ as I'm just starting to get into the point game in other states. My questions is this: Can I buy a point this year even after application period is closed. I know Utah and Wyo allow you to buy just a point for the year and was wondering...

    Book Cliffs reassurance

    Just got back from a week on the Books. To say I'm a little nervous would be an understatement now. I was out from before sunrise and coming back to camp in the dark everyday. Covered ground from almost Willow Creek to Colorado. Don't get me wrong, I saw bulls everyday and elk almost...

    big glass options

    Alright, I'm getting ready to take the leap into higher magnification binos. I already have the 10x Euros which I love and a 20-60 ED spotter. Before anyone says the S-word, I need to know what are some other options that are more affordable. So far the ones I'm looking at are the Vortex 15x...
