Solo Elk Adventure to Remember
No, I didn’t waste much time, and didn’t have a camera setup. I was just using my cell phone. -
Solo Elk Adventure to Remember
Thanks! No I didn’t. It seemed like all of the shots and hunters were 1-3 miles away. I apparently found a small zone with no hunters. -

Thanks for following along. It’s nice when a plan actually comes together. -

Solo Elk Adventure to Remember
Day 5 Morning: This is the first day of the actual hunt. I didn’t get up quite as early since I was already spiked back into elk country. I had heard a bull bugling off and on during the night and he wasn’t too far away. It sounded like the big herd bull from yesterday, but I wasn’t 100%... -

Day 4: My alarm went off early again. This time I didn’t hop out of bed though. My left knee was sore from all the downhill that I had done the day before. I sat there for about an hour trying to decide what to do. I could push it and go scout hard again, but I had to keep in mind that the... -

Day 3: The beginning of night 2 was pretty rough. I think the elevation was actually getting to me. I had a pounding headache and was very nauseous. By the morning of day 3 I was feeling really good though. The headache persisted at a low level, but my legs were finally feeling strong. For... -

Day 2: I set my alarm for 3:30 AM. My plan was to hike in to a spot that wasn’t too crazy far away and do some glassing. I was trying to be somewhat mindful of the elevation. I arrived to my glassing knob in the dark and prepared to have eyes on the mountainside at first light. The first... -

Day 1: I left my home in KS at 3 AM. The drive was set to take about 13 hours. I don’t have a trailer or ATV, so I can be pretty efficient with just my truck. I made great time and arrived early in the afternoon. I stopped on a piece of BLM about 1.5 hours from my hunt area to do some... -
Solo Elk Adventure to Remember
I have been hunting elk every year with my brother since 2017. We generally have done party applications on archery tags and have gotten pretty lucky including drawing NM twice. We have also been marginally successful. Between my older brother and myself, we have killed 7 bulls since we... -

2023 dove hunting thread
I took my kids out on friday afternoon. We had never hunted doves before. Man it’s a fun time especially if you bring your kids along. There were probably 10 guns hunting this public field and I'm sure everyone limited out.- nontyp

mamas wrong name on passport app...
My name was spelled wrong on my passport for 10 years. Never got questioned about it. It was one of those things where I needed a passport for a trip, then it finally shows up a couple weeks before the trip and it was too late to change it so I rolled the dice. Then again several times after that.- nontyp

PSA: Turnpike's new album dropped today
We’re going to see Turnpike tomorrow. We usually see them at least once a year with friends. I’m glad Evan is sober, but I will say the shows when he was absolutely hammered were much more entertaining.- nontyp

7,700 acres of new public access for KS
ah…yes, makes sense. This area is actually native short grass prairie. Trees are unwanted in this habitat. -
7,700 acres of new public access for KS
if u mean planting birds, there’s definitely no need. They’re wild and native here and plenty for the taking. -
7,700 acres of new public access for KS
KS BHA had the honor of organizing an event to help sign 7,700 new WIHA acres in KS today. I don’t do social media so I figured I would share here. There is another large property in the works that will hopefully be signed up soon. -

Youth Gun Scope Recommendations
Picking up a compact 7mm-08 for my boys to use as an all around gun in the coming years. I have a 4.5-14x50 Leupold that I could put on it. Im just wondering if a 50mm scope is going to be too high for them to get a good sight picture? Any experience or recommendations? Should I buy a... -
Relocating, how do I decide.
It would depend a lot on the specific area you are moving to. Care to share more details? I personally would not uproot my life for a 20% raise, or probably any raise for that matter unless it was crazy money. If you want to move, Id shop jobs in an area that you really want to move to.- nontyp
