    More educated bowhunters

    Looking back at my years of bow hunting. It's become pretty clear from what I know now, that it was a small miracle that anything died from my arrow. Had I known then, what I know now, I can think of a couple really nice bulls would have been dead. But I am still glad I didn't pull the...

    Hunting as you get older

    I want to get opinions on how your hunting has changed as you've gotten older? I have had a gun in my hand since I was 5yrs old, hunting any bird I could get close enough with my Daisy Red Rider BB gun. Still remember the moment of silence I had on Christmas morning after I had harvested my...

    Trophyridge sights

    Coming back from elk hunting I"m a bit frustrated with my Trophyridge sight. I hunt elk with my bow in some unforgiving country. I pick my gear because I can't have failure of my equipment on the mtn. I shoot daily all summer long, and make sure everything is ready. First day out, I sneak in...

    New point rules???

    I wanted to get some feed back on this years draw. If I read it right, you lose your points even if you draw the last choice on your application? It doesn't matter if your last choice is a general season tag? I hope I am wrong cause there are going to be some pissed off hunters who lose a...

    Bears

    So I hope this doesn't rub the bear hunters the wrong way, but I want some opinions. I have an area that we have always seen at least 1 bear every hunt. I have little to no use for bears, and put them in the same category as coyotes. However, they eat what I like to eat and that's not good...

    WM Badger

    Anybody have any experience with Western Mountianeering's Badger sleeping bag? I just picked one up for a short hunt with my son on Wednesday/Thursday. It's his first over night hunt in Oct, and I wanted to make sure he stays warm. We are packing up on the mountain and staying there in the...

    Protein Powder on the Mtn.

    I am leaving next Friday for 8 days solo deer/elk hunt in the high country. I had an idea to take protein powder and powdered milk to supplement my diet/keep the weight down. I tend to loose a bunch of weight on these hunts, and it is hard on your body if you get to pack a bull out. Does...

    About a month ago I received a notice from Swarovski that said they are giving ($700-$900) to get you to upgrade your older Swaro binos to the newer versions. Has anyone else received this notice? What do you think? Any ideas as to why they are doing this?

    Supplements

    I don't use any supplements on a daily basis, buy I have used the Wilderness Athlete products for my workouts and hunting. I found that the hydrate and recovery allows me to workout longer and harder. Is anybody else supplementing their workouts to get ready for hunting season? What do you use?

    Dazed

    I have a problem...I am 38 yrs old, been hunting all my life, yet every year a week before hunting season I cannot concentrate. It is like my head is in a fog. My wife just looks at me and shakes her head. She knows that if I don't go, I will stay that way all fall. So on Thursday I leave...

    Anticipation

    Guys, it is that time of year, and I always feel like a 6 yr old on Christmas Eve. The weather is still hot, but last week I was able to do a multi day scouting trip into one of my favorite high country basins. Found 12 bulls, mostly 5 points, with one 6 point being a 330-350" bull. I keep...

    Zebra light

    I picked up a Zebra light SC50+ from High Mountain Outfitters for hunting this year. Put in on my wild land helmet, and used it on an overnight fire to test it out. I am very pleased with the light it puts out (193Lm). Especially coming from a flashlight not much bigger than a AA battery. The...

    Sneaking into vocal bulls

    I was watching a video the other day, and they said they are very successful in sneaking into vocal bulls. Last year we had a bull that I bet this technique would have worked on. I could have kept him bugling and watching his every move from above, while my buddy snuck in on him. Just curious...

    Good Headlamps

    I am in need of a good headlamp for hunting. I have used the led headlamps in the past, but didn't care for the color of light. Maybe it was just that brand, I don't know. I backpack in at night most often, so I would like a lamp that has some power when needed, but can also used on lower...

    Alaska Advise

    I have never been to Alaska, but have wanted to go ever since I can remember. We are considering a move to Anchorage in about a year and a half, when I graduate from Nursing school. I love to hunt and fish. Hunting big muleys are my passion, but I like hunting elk with a bow in the rut. Most...
