Solo diy archery hunt
If you haven't camped solo before, try it. Go on a 3-day solo backcountry fishing trip. You've got time this year. For you're first time, I'd recommend a deer or pronghorn hunt in an state/area you think you want to hunt elk in. They're typically easier to draw and cheaper. Plus, they don't... -
Worst thing you've forgotten before a big hunt trip?
Forgot my hunter's safety card en route to OTC elk hunting. Hard to buy a tag without one. I remembered it while mentally running through my final list as I started the drive out. Thankfully, I was only about 90 miles down the road. Remembered my fly rod one year, but forgot my reel and...- ChrisS

Leupold SX-4 Pro Guide 15-45x65 Spotter(?)
Apparently these are new? I can't find much on them. Any reviews or information? I mean, it didn't stop me from ordering one for my WY elk hunt this fall, but I was curious if anyone had some in-hand experience. After September, I'll update this thread with my experiences, but I'm by no... -
Portable Sawmill?
A friend of mine has an old Frick sawmill that ran off of a Lincoln straight-8. It made his father-in-law money back in the day, but right now it's covered up in lumber and hasn't been run in probably 20 years. We always talk about getting it running again, but we've all got full-time jobs and...- ChrisS

Hunting Alone
It’s not just when hunting. I’ve done 2-night solo trips before just hiking and an empty camp is just not fun. And it’s not about how much time there is, any amount of time feels like it’s interminable. -
Hunting Alone
Bingo. I can hunt and fish all day long by myself, but as the day is over and I'm back at camp, that hyper-focused activity is done and I'm sitting there twiddling my thumbs. The two past solo trips where I've bailed early have been with a spartan, but still comfortable camp. I wasn't... -
How to get a carnival ride at Yellowstone
A few years ago, I was driving north to Anchorage on Rte 1 and stopped at one of the roadhouses for lunch. As I was leaving, another patron said there was a moose with a calf up the road and there was a bit of traffic jam. On my way, there in a road cut was a moose and a calf kind of backed up...- ChrisS

Thumbs up for G.Loomis
I've landed probably 150+ Great Lakes kings over the last 8-9 years with my loomis native run and never had an issue. And i've definitely put the wood to some of those fish to avoid getting dragged into current with no return or into a crowd of anglers. It's been a great rod and I'm happy to...- ChrisS

Solo? No, you have no control. 7.3 Billion people? Yes. We most definitely can impact our environment.- ChrisS

Man Made Climate Change
Not yet, but generally, because models don't have the spatial discretion to accurately predict anything. The overall theory is that more energy in the system, the greater the possible oscillation/variation. Think of plucking a taut string lightly vs strongly. Have they? At what rate? At...- ChrisS

Man Made Climate Change
Depends on where you are and what you can tolerate. Ecosystems will adapt to shifting climate, as they have for all of history. Whether that is good, bad, or indifferent, that's dependent on your perspective. It's also a function of how rapidly climate change occurs. If it happens over...- ChrisS

Man Made Climate Change
This is where I am. There three things to debate with regards to climate change: 1) How does it happen and is it happening? 2) What the effects? and 3) what can we do about it? For all intents and purposes, No. 1 is no longer debatable. No. 2 is, but observations over the last 20-30 years...- ChrisS

Man Made Climate Change
Depends on what your metric for "better" is. The US is responsible for a huge portion of the total contribution to atmospheric CO2 in the last century. If you look at it as a debt, say we've taken out $2,000m from a credit account over the last 50 years, but in the last few years we've only...- ChrisS
