Tag purchased. My back already hurts, my feet are cold and my knees are sore.........why is my face red from wind burn all of a sudden?
Can't wait for the punishment!!!!!!!!
Typically the cost of the tag has very little to do with the revenue received by game and fish. The real money made by game and fish is through the draw process. Look at NM. It costs about $250 bucks to put in for sheep. If the draw odds are .1% then the game and fish will get $250 X...
The big difference between UT,ID and MT is that you will shoot a sheep in UT and ID but getting one in MT will be much more expensive than the other states. Remember that you might as well plan on buying the MT tag for the better part of 5 years. ($1250 X 5 years = $6250.00). That is IF...
Put your phone on airplane mode. The battery dies because your phone is searching for service. I also bring a battery pack to charge my phone. Don't leave your screen on. I will shut my screen so I don't burn my battery life. You can make your screen dimmer that will also save battery...
Short story. Buddy had one leak in his garage while getting it ready to fill up. Turned his garage into a very large bomb and got the opportunity to remodel most of his house and buy his wife a new car!!!!
Long story. The bottles don't fill up all the way and they will leak quite a a bit...
CAV1 - yeah those vehicles wouldn't make it unless you brought a chain saw. There were a few people that walked from the parking lot to the trial head and then up to the hunting area. They were much younger, skinnier, and in much better shape than me.
I'm going to put in ID sheep but I don't know much about the sheep hunting in the state. Does anyone have advice for a NR in regards to what units to look at for sheep. Not interested in unit 11 but thinking more about the higher percentage draws that are a bit more difficult to impossible...
With all the crazy people out there right now it would be a great time to spend 14 days in the beartooths and leave your phone and garmin at the truck.
I've been running the Zamberlan boots for a little over a year. Crazy stiff and I like it. I run the boots with no insulation and there were times where I wish I would have had insulated boots on for sure. My feet did get cold if I was stopped to glass for a bit and the wind was blowing...
So I have a custom 6.5 X 284 that I built. Started out about 18 pounds and a 30" barrel. Shot great. Then I took the barrel down to 26" and 11#. Shot great. Then I went to a different contour and 22" and 9.2#. Gun still shoots great. I've since shot a few guns that were in the 6#...
Great story. The adventure of the UL's really isn't about killing a sheep........It's about everything else. I can only imagine how many other adventures and stories that you have gained from entering the UL's and didn't have time or room to share in the story. There really is so much to...
Glad you made it to AZ to give it a go. The late archery bull elk hunt is very, very difficult for even a resident that has a bunch of experience and time into the unit. I like unit 8 as an elk unit but see if you can get the early archery tag. The weather is normally better, bulls will...
I use a quilt and like it. I run a thermarest pad and it does good. My quilt is a 22 degree and I'm pretty good down to about 30 degrees and then I start putting on puffy stuff. Wearing puffy pants and jacket adds quite a few degrees to the bag. Bring a liner and you will add even more...
I have a .308 tikka T3 and that gun prints great. I changed out the trigger spring ($10) and changed out the bolt throw so I could load the rounds longer. Load development was a breeze (could probably even do better if I worked at it) and the gun shoots 1/2 MOA all day long. They are just...
Well if this is number 2 then you already know the drill. The first kid always turns life upside down. Second on is much easier and sometimes more fun.
Oh here is my 2 pennies worth of advice. First piece of glass I would get for western glassing is the swaro 15's and a great tripod. The Swaro 12 power EL's could be substituted. You will look through your binos more than your spotter. Probably 10 to 1 so you might as well get the best...
