Do you carry a handgun as a backup when hunting?
Not while rifle hunting, which is most of my hunting. When archery hunting, I generally carry a .45LC. -
Coastal black bear + fishing guide/outfitter recommendation and tips?
I haven't done much research other than to be hit by the good idea fairy for this hunt for my adult son and me next spring. I've been to AK once in 2010 for a drop camp moose hunt and had a blast. But I don't know what I don't know about something like this. I figured I'd start by asking here...- davinski

Truck broken into in W CO, please keep an eye out for this gear together on other classifieds
A quick update. No gear or dirtbags have been found. But many people, including some here, have reached out offering to give or lend gear which has been absolutely awesome. I'm humbled. Also, after a post in a Seek Outside FB group, SO reached out directly and offered a new tent from their... -
They’ve discovered the last best pockets of the west.
I had some work in Scobey a couple years ago. I grew up in SD and ND. I'm pretty sure you could pick up Scobey and plop it down anywhere in the Dakotas or Nebraska and it would fit right in. Radishes on the steak house salad bar and everything. The only reason Scobey hired us all the way from...- davinski

First Time Pointing A Gun At Someone
Sheesh, that would pucker anyone up. Gunfire in the pitch dark is never safe. Good job getting her to hit the dirt. I'm glad it turned out as good as it did, I think you handled it well. CO is very clear on deadly force to protect your home, you just have to prove you felt threatened. But...- davinski

Hunter Safety Training Course
You're correct, CO will require passing of a hunter ed course somewhere. They were entirely online during covid, but have appeared to have gone back to all-class or online-plus-inperson-conclusion in CO. It appears FL is similar. I agree with the above, you just need a card and number from any... -
HUNT TALK TRUCK/BAG DUMP - WHAT IS YOUR "MUST HAVE" ELK HUNTING EQUIPMENT??
A little disposable ultralight painters tarp in my pack hardly weighs anything. It can help in a surprise overnight situation, but I've used them for countless other things. I mainly use it when quartering and butchering an elk. It just helps having more clean space to lay meat, quarters, etc... -
Shooting from the seated position using field aids
Not an article, but my two cents. I keep a rubber gear tie on one trekking pole, then tie them together if I'm sitting, waiting, or have time for a shot. If you don't have much time, you can just hold and squeeze them together, but I've found it not quite as stable. I do need to find the sweet... -
Gros Ventre Wilderness elk
When your buddy asks if you want to come along on their horsepack in elk hunt in the Wyoming wilderness and get an elk tag through Hunting for Heroes Wyoming, the correct answer is “I’ll get my hat!” I had a fantastic time in the Gros Ventre Wilderness last week with some old and new friends... -
Truck broken into in W CO, please keep an eye out for this gear together on other classifieds
Two stickers, one US Flag and one elk silhouette. Probably a tipoff but I really enjoy looking at both. And the 10th Mtn veteran plates don't likely scare anyone away. I could just start keeping one of my beehives in my truck and suit up everywhere I go. That would get a bit tedious though... -
Truck broken into in W CO, please keep an eye out for this gear together on other classifieds
Yep, driveway. Apparently it's been a thing again in the Redlands, they hit a few neighbors also last night. They got into my son's little truck too and nabbed a laptop. Gut feel...they don't know what they have and half the stuff got pitched in a ditch somewhere. Some homeless person will be... -
Truck broken into in W CO, please keep an eye out for this gear together on other classifieds
The best Garmin could do for me was lock them up from use. Their web site says that they encourage law enforcement to contact them in these cases. I suspect there is some gee whizzery that could be done if someone fires it up, but they don't let that out as public knowledge. One big problem is... -
Truck broken into in W CO, please keep an eye out for this gear together on other classifieds
Not selling, but if you're looking here, odds are you're like me and you cruise other classifieds, FB martketplace, etc. All of this was stolen from my truck last night in Mesa County, CO. I rolled in about 11:00p.m. from 10 days in the Gros Ventre Wilderness in WY and figured I'd unpack this... -
What's the deal with Hatch chilis? Need a quick answer!
https://www.chieftain.com/news/20190711/what-locals-are-saying-about-pueblo-vs-hatch-chile-battle I've witnessed generally rational adults get seriously spun up about the Hatch-Pueblo issue! I prefer to remain an equal opportunity consumer of green chile. But, man oh man, they're good when...- davinski

First hand Covid symptoms
Had covid last Nov, it wasn't horrible, it just lingered for a couple weeks and morphed into a sinus infection that antibiotics cured. Had my two moderna shots in March. I did an antibody test before the vax because I was curious. I did have antibodies present. But I travel a lot and just didn't...- davinski

Afghanistan
I was there 03-04, my first and last tour, got out shortly after. It's been well past time to go for a long long time. I've followed pretty closely because I can't help it. But, wow, what an exit. They literally had 20 years to plan the exit tactics and I doubt you could have created a worse...- davinski

Touch base with your military vets that served in the Sandbox.
Yes. We all knew this was coming but I was surprised how much it bothers me still. Definitely lend an ear to those younger vets. Left there in '04 and out of the Army in '06. We should have left long ago but, holy crap, this withdrawal operation appears to have less planning than a cub scout...- davinski

Best new 3/4 ton gasser?
I'd get on the list if you're at all considering it. I ordered through my local off road shop and they are just as frustrated as me. They said new orders, right now, are told they have a yearlong wait. I tried to get their ram backcountry package, it looks and sounds just right. But it's all...- davinski

Diners, Gas Stations, Truck Stops, and Dives
Not sure if it's still there, but the Star Hotel in Elko, NV has the best steak sandwich on the planet. It's a Basque place, there are several others across northern NV. If you ever travel that way you have to find and Basque food. Starvin Arvins in Grand Junction and a couple other nearby...- davinski
