Any of the higher end packs will do fine for you, it all comes down to how much you want to spend and what style of pack you prefer. If you want a pack that will last longer than a few seasons and be (relatively) comfortable hauling meat, look at Kuiu, Mystery Ranch, Kifaru, Stone Glacier, Exo...

Five of us hunted the Lolo this past September. I seen wolf sign everywhere. Two of our group ran into seventeen wolves in one pack and one of our group talked to another hunter that had seen 6 wolves just a couple drainages over, Seems like a lot of wolves in just one area. The elk were few and...

I will be taking a 10 cubic foot chest freezer and a gas generator on an elk hunt in September. Was thinking of putting boned out meat in game bags and plastic bags and then in the freezer and running the generator just enough to keep the meat cold without freezing it. Anyone ever do this? How...

Throw their names out here and see what people say. Or ask them for references. Succesful and not successful. John

I damn near break the one on my 77 Ruger every time I pull that rough as hell trigger. JOHN

I know a place in Wa. that requires a walk through Or. Some people that I know were ticketed by Or.police because they had the bolts in their guns. They told them that they had to remove the bolts from their weapons when walking through Or. John

Danners prior to about 10 years ago used to be the best boot there was. Now as the others have said Danners suck. Especially the ones made in China. I now wear Meindls. John

Was in Hells canyon on the Or. side hunting elk and came across a guy on a ridge with a spotting scope set up looking across a canyon at the top of another ridge at another hunter walking along the top of the ridge and about 75 yards behind the hunter moving along at the same speed was a very...

Thanks Manny. Are these in Prineville? John

Hey the indians or a select few of them do the same thing on the west side.Right here in the area where they just POACHED a WHALE. There are a few in this area that go out every year in Sept. and again in Jan.- Feb. and kill as many of the large bulls as they can just for the purpose bragging...

Anyone know of any game processors in Prineville or maybe Paulina. How about someplace with a walk in cooler for hire? Heading that way for a archery hunt next week and I think that the weather is going to be on the warm side for hanging meat in camp. Thanks. John

Lost it here in Forks Wa. as well. I vote we strike. John

Only one way to learn. Use a fairly limber knife, fillet knife works good or any other long slender straight blade will do. What you basically want to do is remove the meat from the bones in the largest pieces possible. You do this by inserting the knife point to the bone and following the bone...

HA,HA,HA,HA,HA. Thats a good one.

Direct t.v 604 - 606 - 607 - 608. All the channels a guy needs. John

I am now severly depressed !!!!

If your main criteria is blowing through the shoulder of an elk you had better forget it and get a rifle. I've seen elk shot square on the shoulder and the arrow fell out after 1/2" of penetration. There are sections of the shoulder blade that a cut on contact head will penetrate but I don't...

You cannot really go wrong with any of those heads. They are all proven. Put 4 names in a hat and draw one. John

I would not hunt elk with a .243. I know many have been taken with this round but the shot has to be perfect and at fairly close range. Why limit yourself when there are far better choices? I once killed a bull that had a fresh .243 slug just under the hide in a hind quarter. Don't know what...

Anyone know anything about the ranch hunts that are in the Wa. regs. Thanks John

Leupold is one of the very best American companies. They have had service like this since day one. They also have some of the best products in the world. All sportsmen should support such a great American company. John

What is the # of points to reach max? I'm sitting on 11 this year and need to ask the same question only I need to apply for the west side because that is where I live and if I put in for east side and did not draw I would have to skip the season because I will not travel to the east side to...

Doesn't say anything about a 2nd cut. Just that I was unsuccesful for 2007 multi season elk. It also says that I was unsuccesful for the same tag in 2006 and that is wrong because I did have the tag in 2006. John

I was in the NW part of the state. Pinedale was the town we stayed at. Nice town. John

I'll just check in here every couple days and when I see everyone talking about their results I will mossey on over to the site and see how many tags I've drawn. John

I've hunted antelope in Wyoming one time. Went with a guide. Cost a pretty chunk of change. We rode around in a pickup with a BLM map looking for antelope. There was thousands of acres of BLM land and most all of it was pretty much coverd with antelope. This would have been a simple slam dunk...

The couple pack in trips I went on the bow was put in a soft case and lashed to the top pack on a mule. John

I think they should make it a 100 bucks up front and no refund if you don't draw. That would weed out all of the people that are not serious. John

It really boils down to personal preferance.There are a lot of makers of trad bows and most of them feel and shoot a little differently from one another. You really need to find someplace that you can shoot some bows and pick one that feels good to you. As said above the worst thing you can do...

Muleyslyr I've been putting in for the Margarate unit. (Mt. St. Helens) I now realize that I will never draw that unit and it is time to go on a good hunt before to many years go by. John

Hey men thanks for the info. If I can find a packer that would pack an animal out for me I think I will see if I can draw the tag. When I was in the Or. side in the late 70's I went in from the very top. Does anyone know if there is any access from a lower elevation where a guy could hunt up...

Anyone here ever hunt the Mill Creek waterhed in Wa.? I am thinking of putting in for it this year. I have 11 points and would think that I might have a chance of drawing. I have been in the watershed on the Oregon side several years ago and know that it is very steep. What is the Wa. side like...

7:00 p.m. in Forks just a couple showers so far. I think this is coming out of the North which is a little unusual. John

I did draw a multi season elk tag earlier but for the life of me I cannot draw a big bull permit. Put in for peaches ridge archery with 9 points and did not draw Again. How many points does it take? SHEESH !!! Congrats and good luck to those of you that drew. John

I have never tried the gadget you speak of. But here is a trick that you might try. Take a three inch piece of surgical tubing of a diameter that will snugly fit over your cap and nipple. Tie a knot in one end and slip the open end over your cap and nipple. Close your bolt or let your hammer...
