Scoping a nice rifle
I must be even cheaper than skinflint cheap. :o This one is coming for the gun I just bought. https://www.cabelas.com/product/home/fod-i-save-on-select-leupold-optics/pc/105625080/c/734089680/leupold-american-marksman-in-riflescope/2582141.uts?slotId=8 But the majority of my hunting is in the... -

Screaming Good Deal
A .308 came home with me today. It was lunch time and the transaction took close to an hour, but the folks who did the work for me were fairly competent. I said nothing about the price ($349 on the display gun); when they scanned the box, the two guys behind the counter kind of looked at each...- PAhunter

Lazy Friends
That's been my method for gaining a hunting partner - senior year, my kids get a trip to WY with dad. Sure, it costs me more rather than less (no splitting travel costs with another partner, etc), but I end up with a partner I know well, already know their experience and ability, etc. And I... -

Lazy Friends
Another "just do it!" from me. Went through some of that myself. But be warned: once you go and do it yourself a couple of times and are successful, you will suddenly have at least 13 friends that have had a change of heart and are now ready to go with you any time you will have them... -

Tire Chains?
I hunted there in 2016, second week of October. We took chains, but had great weather. Even had the weather been worse, I'm not sure I would have chained up as there's quite a bit of hunting to be had along the hardtop in 9.- PAhunter

Wyoming if you drew
Mule deer and lope tags today in my mailbox. Edit: Check that - only the lope tag today. -

Wyoming if you drew
From the WyGF Draw Results query: "If you have not received your license/refund by July 30, 2018 please call us at 307-777-4600." So we have a few weeks yet before we get concerned. -

Apply for Leftover as Party or Individually?
May be that way to limit how far "over quota" that a single party application can potentially push a unit? -

Camping in unit 43
My 17 y.o. daughter has a 43 tag. We won't be there until the first week of October after we hunt deer over in 79, but it's her first western hunt, so I doubt she'll be holding out for the biggest buck. -

Every state as a guy in a bar
Eastern Montana is extolling the virtues of the local craft brew he's drinking to any other state who will listen, but he's hidden the can and won't name the brewery. When other states ask the bartender what Eastern Montana is drinking, the bartender admits that he must ask Eastern Montana's...- PAhunter

Box blind size; one adult up to two kids?
I have a 6' x 4' and a 6' x 6' (outside dimensions, with 2x4 framing). You can gun hunt three out of the 4x6, but it's really tight. I'd suggest 6' wide x 5' deep, or 6x6 if you want a narrow bench inside the front window like I have. -

Help hunting eastern whitetails in timber
Those kinds of numbers usually seem to reflect areas where there are pockets of decent deer density, but vast areas where there are almost no deer at all; and that can be especially true during the rut when the bucks are with, or actively seeking, the does. In that scenario if I am in a new... -

Help hunting eastern whitetails in timber
I have hunted for a couple of decades now in the kind of conditions that you describe. Good advice in this thread so far. 1) If you choose to still hunt during firearms season along a ridge near the military crest (my personal favorite method when gun hunting, BTW), I will say that binoculars... -

Pennsylvania Bear Hunting
If you really want to try it, you don't have to be part of a group, and you don't have to try to pot hunt off of other folks' drives. As Sherpa said, in the northcentral part of the state where bear populations are highest, public land is plentiful, and the bears live on the public just as much...- PAhunter

Shameful "professional"
Had the kid been his own son, I'd say Mr. Tom was a jerk. However, if the kid and his dad agreed to the "management buck" deal (which I think is a stupid concept, but whatever), then the fact that this particular buck wasn't available for the kid isn't a problem in my mind. That the "host"...
