Honestly, if I were going to put any money into a device and I even remotely thought I needed public/private boundaries, I'd buy a used iphone even if you didn't use it as your primary phone, don't need service to use the GPS and can update downloaded maps at home.
That being said I have a...
Re: Yellowstone. Someone told me they cut out the buses full of folks from SanFran. If that is true then June might not be so bad, but expect traffic, lots of it.
If you like to boondock I have some coordinates I will send of an absolutely amazing camping location just outside of Teton on NF land. Views for days.
Freefly lightweight hoodie treated with permethrin. The bamboo breathes super well so no worries with long sleeve, head (I’m bald) and hand coverage in hot temps.

Alaska, which I know everyone is crazy about it but I have just above zero desire to go to Alaska with all of the logistics, etc. That's not to say I won't ever go, but I'm just not crazy about the idea like everyone else seems to be. Also Africa but I am going next year because my Dad wants...
Nope, we ate it everyday/night (Axis was fantastic, Blackbuck pretty good, Stag (including the heart) was also pretty good)
The guides exclusively eat game meat so none of it went to waste, we went to the skinning shack most evenings and saw them getting all of the meat off of the carcasses...
900ish for a rental a couple residences and one W2 here. I was audited two years in a row and the first time was a wash no money owed and the 2nd time they had to cut me a check!
Another pic of the cull stag (with a good luck charm my 7 year old sent with me). Still my favorite trophy although getting a stag with a bow spot and stalk was the highlight of my trip.
It was a great way to end the hunt. In the end stags are amazing, as are the blackbucks and axis and fallow deer.. But the star of the show in Argentina are the guides, the skinners, the workers at the ranch. Just great people. Spending this time with my Dad and Brother is something I don't...
The remaining couple days were spent looking for vultures and passing on several axis bucks that I just couldn't afford. Finally, the last evening we pulled up to the ranch and a dead stag head was sitting there...mine...my archery Stag!!!!! I was so excited, one of the guides had found it...
My guide got on the radio to call for a truck and I said "hey man we have 40 minutes of light left, let's hunt" so we got back into the brush and kept hunting. About 25 minutes later we spotted a group of stags. My guide glassed teh group and said they were all trophy stags and I said let's...
We started the hunt at a new location that I hadn't been before and I took a rifle. After a couple miles of hiking we came to a clearing and I spotted (as opposed to my guide spotting first) a blackbuck that I wanted to make a stalk on. We crawled to about 100 yards and made a good shot with...
After an evening drowning my sorrows we started the next morning on the blood trail and then started grid searching. My Dad was nice enough to go out on the evening hunt with his guide and we looked that evening as well. Finally my guide and I looked the following morning with no luck. The...
Shortly after we headed back to the ranch for lunch and a siesta to prepare for the evening hunt. We started the evening hunt in the same place we started that morning hoping to see those two stags again. We hiked around 3 miles and didn't see anything and finally came up to a water hole where...
