    the "Rib Roll"

    Thanks for posting the how-to videos. I was able to try this method for the first time and it worked great. I was by myself, but it wasn't too difficult. I think the few minutes of extra time this method takes on the mountain will be more than repaid by spending less time at home picking hair...

    Rib Roll recipes and cooking methods?

    There's a good thread at https://www.hunttalk.com/threads/the-rib-roll.303429/#post-3115785 about the rib roll technique. I used it for the first time on my late elk hunt and it worked very well as part of the gutless method. Now that I have a huge slab of rib, flank, and brisket meat, I'm...

    Elk Carcass Trailcam

    Great video, thanks for sharing. I put a camera on the carcass of a deer this year. I was surprised to see nothing but magpies and foxes came to eat.

    “Travel” spinning rod for salmon

    I bought one of these for my trip to Alaska last year. It was very easy to travel with and handled great on the salmon streams.

    Knife search - matching an heirloom

    Here are some photos of the knife @pre6422hornet made for me. He did a great job on both matching my uncle's knife and overall build quality. I was lucky to get to test it out on a young 4x4 buck I took during a late black powder season. It handled well and kept its edge. Thanks Pat!

    A Family Hunts the North End of POW 2020

    That sounds like a serious ordeal. I'm glad your son was able to get medical care in time and is recovering. Good luck on his deer hunt and I hope you get another chance at a moose.

    Camera to bring with while hunting

    I wanted a camera for similar purposes, but even more compact than the G1 model you're looking at. I ended up with a Canon PowerShot SX740 HS and have been pleased with the results. I use my phone camera for a lot of shots, but wanted a camera with optical zoom for wildlife and other smaller...

    Question for Swarovski spotting scope users

    Thanks everyone for the information and sample photos. The scopes I own have done well for me for their price. The areas I'm hunting now make it more important to get a clear view from further away. The terrain is steep and access is difficult. Getting to a spot could take a few hours of...

    Question for Swarovski spotting scope users

    Do you use your Swaro spotter at max magnification at distances over 2 miles? If so, is the view crisp? I have only used scopes in the mid- and low price ranges, and have found that at longer distances the image gets distorted as I zoom in. If the Swaro glass provides a clear view without...

    Idaho ML hunt with CVA Wolf - Tips for safe and successful hunt please!

    I think most of the answers will be specific to your own gun and load. I haven't used Pyrodex so my observations about fouling and cleaning may not be relevant. My gun always throws the first bullet from a cleaned barrel several inches off-center. Then I get 3-5 shots in a good centered group...

    Hunting season preparations, what did you do today?

    I set up my wall tent in the yard and checked for missing parts and damage. All clear, ready to pack and go.

    Hunting Cows in Idaho

    I had a November cow elk tag last year too, in a different area of the state. I also had trouble finding elk, then blew my chance when I finally got one. Look for food sources. East slopes often have more to eat. Bunchgrasses are a common elk food. Depending on conditions they may switch to...
