    Why don't you carry a PLB?

    I got an inreach because I have Sprint and it's all but worthless in most of the places I hunt. I warned my the-soon to be-wife that I might not have service in WY the first time I went out, but she wasn't expecting me to disappear for 3 days and started to panic a little. Everything turned out...

    Flea market guns

    But I bet the FFL wants you to think the only legal way is to go through them and pay for the transfer.

    Favorite Hunt/Species to Hunt

    I've only been at this for a few years and I've got hunting ADD and don't really have a 'favorite' per say, but I am definitely more inclined to go west for spot and stalk than sit here in IL in a tree stand or ground blind. So far I think I've enjoyed hunting mulies in the Sandhills the most...

    Bipod, Sticks, Pack, or Nothing?

    For rifle hunting in sage brush flats a BogPod is pretty useful, especially for new hunters. Generally the brush is too high to shoot from a bipod prone, and the BogPod doubles as a tripod for glassing. If the terrain and brush allows it, though, I prefer to shoot off of my pack prone, sitting...

    First Aid/Survival Kit

    That's not too far from the truth, if it's not in my bino pack it's riding in my work bag next to a few extra glock mags.

    First Aid/Survival Kit

    I have a vacuum packed blow out kit consisting of a couple trauma pads, quickclot, Israeli bandages, gauze, alcohol prep wipes and duct tape that goes in my bino pack so it's always with me. That plus my inreach is the best plan I have for serious injuries involving sharp objects and gunshot...

    What will you be shooting ?

    Did a little upgrading today on my 700 in preparation for WY antelope.

    thermarest sleeping pads.

    I have a Prolite Plus that I accidentally set up on a tiny cactus in WY that was a pain to patch. I tried just using Tenacious Tape but because of the material it was hard to get it to adhere and actually seal off. I then tried a cement/epoxy patch kit from Tenacious Tape that worked much...

    Wyoming Resident Poll for or against preference points

    While these are valid concerns another big issue is hunter recruitment. These awful millennials with their texting and skinny jeans are the future of hunting whether anyone likes it or not. 5% of the population hunts, and unless people my age and younger start getting interested it's going to...

    What will you be shooting ?

    Remington 700 (in a B&C stock with Timney Trigger) in .30-06 with a Vortex Viper HSLR 4-16x44 and 168gr HSM Trophy Gold with Berger VLDs.

    Wyoming Resident Poll for or against preference points

    Looks like we're from the same flat lands. My statement was pretty hyperbolic but from a non-resident's perspective and having to deal with points on nearly every hunt I apply for outside of IL it's becoming a very depressing scenario of events which involve buying intangible assets that...

    Wyoming Resident Poll for or against preference points

    Some of us millennials would like the opportunity to hunt ourselves, let alone have a chance for our future children to draw a decent elk or deer tag without 57 PPs.

    Gps

    Just to echo what everyone else has said, but if the 450t has done the job so far and doesn't have any damage or defects that would warrant replacing it just get an OnXmaps or similar chip for the areas you need and you're good to go. The only thing that I'd consider a downside with the 450t is...

    Bino harness question

    After switching to the AGC Bino Pack I took the lens covers off my binos and no complaints really. I did get a bunch of sand and grit in the eye cups after WY pronghorn and NE Sandhills mule deer hunts last year but that would have happened with or without the plastic/rubber caps I'm sure. Just...

    Bag Dump

    Here's my pretty standard packing list for a western hunt after a couple years of figuring out what is necessary and what isn't. I'm a chronic over-packer so it helps to make a list of everything needed beforehand and try to be pretty strict about what comes with me. Some of the clothing...

    Recieve type 6 tags

    Finally came Saturday too. I was starting to worry as I moved a couple months ago and couldn't remember if I had changed my address on all the G&F sites I have accounts on.

    Which kind of safe lock?

    The electronic Sargent and Greenleaf locks on Liberty and likely other manufacturers' safes can evidently be defeated 'easily' and without a trace. More: https://www.wired.com/2016/08/hacker-unlocks-high-security-electronic-safes-without-trace/

    Nothing yet, I bought mine in the first leftover sale.

    Tripod on a budget?

    I have both a BogPod tripod with pistol grip optics head, and an Amazon Basics (now discontinued) tripod and they are both fairly lightweight, inexpensive, yet well made. The Amazon tripod I have used to sell for $50 and was a phenomenal deal. They also have a carbon fiber tripod that is...

    InReach Explorer

    The Inreach Explorer is not a very good gps unit when compared to any Garmin 600/64/current etrex. The SE still has some gps functionality when paired with a cell phone, though the cell phone probably is more useful with cached maps. Point being if you want to use an OnXmaps chip or want a...
