    Those CO lake trout have a bunch of critters to eat?

    I'd say so. https://freerangeamerican.us/world-record-lake-trout-enloe/ I always wanted to head to the northern reaches of Canada and fish for those big lakers in Athabasca, Great Bear, or Great Slave lakes. Always seems to me a lot of the big lakers down in the lower 48 have smaller heads...

    Rifle vs. Archery Elk?

    Wondering if I could get any input from people that have hunted or spent time in elk units 111-115, 221-223, or 231. I've gotten into the double digits on pts as a NR and wanted to get a few opinions on which season people think usually produces the biggest bulls. I realize there's always...

    Hybrid Draw

    Does anyone know if it's possible for a NR to draw one of these tags or if any NRs have in the past? Or is the NR quota always reached through the regular draw?

    For those of you in the drier climates, wondering if/how you keep the majority of dust from entering the bed of the truck. Decided to start sleeping in the bed on weekend trips and lately it seems like the dust comes up through the bed channels like a vacuum. Anyone have any experience with...

    Quick couple of questions, never hunted the extended, bear w/ me. For the few trails near Bountiful/SLC that have gates and specific hours, do people usually get up there early and wait for someone to open the gates, then hike up to hunt? I imagine the only way to be out there hiking before...

    More dslr questions

    I'm in the process of looking into different cameras for my Dad as he is wanting to get a new one to replace his old film and and have kind of narrowed it down to the Xsi or the Canon 40D. I know the 40D is another step above the Xsi but I think he'd be happier with it as I've heard the...
