Guys, I've worn 14EE for damn near ever. I typically wear Lowas. This year, I noticed my toes were jamming into the the front of the boots. Ended up losing a few toenails. I'm looking for some 15EE's more. Anybody have any suggestions? I don't like really stiff mountain boots but, if that's the...

I am in the planning stages of an Alaskan moose and caribou hunt for 2025. I'll be going DIY with a couple buddies. This will be my first time in AK and my first time flying into a hunting camp. We're going to hunt the western end of the Brooks Range in the De Long Mountains. We'll be flying...

Looking to get rid of my 16 deer points next year. Personally, I don't feel there is a unit worthy of 16 points and I'm in no mans land for the muzzy hunts I would be interested in drawing. I'm hoping to split points with a good friend and get drawn with an average of 8. I like X9A and B but, my...

I'm looking for a pair of hunting or hiking boots for my daughter. She's currently size 9 in women's, 7.5 men's. I don't want to buy new if I don't need to. She is 13 and her feet grow like zucchini! Jim

I asked a question in the WY forum last week and was quickly pointed in the right direction. I figured I should do the same in CA forum. My daughter and oldest son drew J21. I am very familiar with zone C4 however, I'm trying to find the written boundary locations for J21 which is within C4...

Has anybody had experience with one of these or something similar? https://prepcision.com I'm looking for a way to carry in my vehicle outside of my holster that also provides easy, quick access. Curious if these things are worth the money. Thanks. Jim

I've looked all over the WYO F&G website looking for final tag numbers. It's very likely that I am too stupid to find said numbers. Does anyone have a link they would like to share? Thanks. Jim

Does anyone have a lead on a house or cabin rental, 2nd season in Gunnison? The house we usually rent is too big for our group this year. We are looking for something that'll house 4 guys comfortably with parking for a cargo trailer and truck and not too far from unit 54 access points. Thanks...

I'll be in Kauai from 6/30-7/5. Anybody have recommendations for a good fishing charter that departs from or near Poipu? Jim

I'm going to be visiting Sun River in late July for about a week. I'm looking for a special MM'r willing to spill their guts about good fishing, hiking, shooting and wildlife viewing spots nearby. Of course, if I can't find that person, any general info about cool places to take the family would...

Drew a unit 34 tag after 7 years of applying for it. I've laptop scouted the unit quite a bit. I've got a pretty good lay of the land. I have 9 areas that I plan to focus on when I get back there. I'm curious on the accuracy of water source locations as referenced in OnX, Go Hunt maps, etc. For...

Looking to apply for 141. I don't want to deal with crowd's so I narrowed my choices to 34 and 141 for the amount of preference points I have. 34 lost out. I feel I have a better chance at a nice buck in 141. With that being said, I am looking to camp or stay in a cabin in the unit. Any MM'ers...

How are the Kolpin stronghold gun boots? I have a few friends that use the older style and they seem to work well for transporting rifles. However, I've seen a few negative reviews regarding the protection provided by latest version of the Kolpin gun boots. Can someone provide first hand...

I'm trying to plan a long road/camping trip with family and travel trailer. We're gonna head south from northern California through AZ, NM, CO, UT, NV. I'm not familiar with Arizona. We're going through Payson to see a friend I used to work with. Are there any campgrounds that can handle a 29'...

I'd like to hear what MMr's recommend for pre-packaged trauma kits. I carry a small, very basic kit but, I'm looking to get a more advanced kit and training for myself and my wife. I've been looking at mountain man medical, gearbags.com and few others. Any firsthand experience or knowledge would...

I've got a pre accutrigger savage 116 in 300 RUM that I'd like to re-barrel. I am leaning towards the 6.5x55. What are some other good options for this action? I'd prefer to stay away from big magnum cartridges. Thanks. Jim

LAST EDITED ON Oct-24-19 AT 10:13AM (MST)[p]My son drew a youth deer and javelina tag for 16A. This will be his first deer hunt where he carries the gun. We'll be headed down on the 20th. I'm debating whether or not to camp in the Hualapai's, or stay in Kingman. Can you fellers offer up some...

I've got 20 rounds of. 280 Remington that were reloaded by an acquaintance of mine that is missing an eye from an undisclosed shooting accident. I'm not comfortable with these reloads so I pulled the bullets, dumped the powder. I want to work up some light loads with these cases and fire form to...

I ordered a Mcmillian stock in late January. After a long wait, I got a call today saying it was ready. We ran into an unfortunate problem though. I was going to send the stock straight to CDI Precision in FL to have it inletted for the their detachable mag bottom metal. Sadly, Jeff, the owner...

My son drew an Arizona muzzy deer tag for this fall. He's 11 years old, 5'5" and about 120#. What would be a good starting load for him to shoot? He'll be using an older traditions pursuit LT .50 cal. I'll be cutting about 1" from the butt to make it fit better. Any advice to get us started off...

I drew SW Desert rifle deer tags. I researched the unit before applying and I like the terrain it offers. After driving through the unit for many years, I decided to put in for it knowing it has mediocre success rates and low densities. It seems to have decent buck/doe ratios though. I'm going...

I was going to post in the campfire but, I figured there would find a few more opinions here. We recently had to put down our 15 y/o lab and are looking at getting a new pup. I have it narrowed down to a Plott or Catahoula. The dog will be a family dog first and foremost. My youngest boy is 2...

Hello everybody. I drew the NR multi season tag for the fish lake/thousand lakes unit. I've only driven through the area a few times. I've got some questions I am hoping to get answered. I am grateful for any help. I give thanks in advance. Does the unit lend itself to big glass? I have been...

My party of 4 will have an average of 7.75 points going into the 2017 draw for elk. Should we hold out a couple more years to draw a better unit or are there units we can draw that have a really good chance at a 300-320 bull? We've hunted WY deer around Rock Springs and Casper, never had an elk...

I posted this in the Nevada forum but it wasn't getting much traffic. I'm leaving the 6th for my late bull hunt in 061/071 and I am hopeful somebody has recent first hand knowledge on what the weather has been like and how the roads are. I'm still not sure where i'll setup camp. It depends on...

I'm leaving the 6th for my late bull hunt in 061/071 and I am hopeful somebody has recent first hand knowledge on what the weather has been like and how the roads are. I'm still not sure where i'll setup camp. It depends on the weather, road conditions and whether the elk have moved down and...

Does anyone mind sharing what the local weather conditions have been and currently are in the high country surrounding Gunnison. I look at NOAA, Weather underground, etc. Nothing beats boots on the ground though. Thanks. Jim

My party is likely to draw GMU 54 second season this year and we are looking for somewhere to stay that is somewhat close by. We usually hunt 66 and stay in Lake City and the one time hunted 54 we stayed at Island acres. This time we will have 7 guys total. Some with tags, some without. Most, if...

A buddy of mine drew this tag for his 2nd choice. It looks like we won't get a chance to scout it before we go back in late December unless our Area 10 deer tags get filled really fast next week. The hunt encompasses units 072-075. Are any of these units better than the others for cow elk? We...

Good afternoon folks. I drew an archery tag for X5B this year. This will be my second archery deer hunt. I am going up the first part of July to scout and hopefully one more time after that. Could anyone tell me what the the spring/early summer weather has been like up there? If I remember...

Afternoon folks. I plan on putting in for 34 deer and 73 antelope this year. Should be a guaranteed draw with my point totals. I'll figure out the hunting, but in the meantime, do you guys have suggestions on places to stay or where to set up a decent camp? I plan to focus on antelope a few days...
