    Cabelas/Bass pro

    They got me here in MD too. I have a BP about 5 miles from my house, yet I typically drive 2 hours to a Cabelas if I want something in person. BP is utterly terrible in so many ways.

    "Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the...

    Where to save points for youth rifle hunt in 5+ years?

    Thanks FL. I'll just work on all the other hunting skills with him until the time comes. I was trying to get him a head start in the points game.

    Where to save points for youth rifle hunt in 5+ years?

    Bhunt, I couldn't agree more. I already take him out as much as I can. He's had the "fever" ever since he's been able to walk. He's already been on a few hunts with me and helped me track a few animals. I would hope he's got a few whitetails under him by the time we head out West.

    Where to save points for youth rifle hunt in 5+ years?

    I plan on hunting Idaho OTC every September, but my youngest son (6 years old) really wants to go elk hunting. I've promised him I'll take him when he turns 12. I figure it's not too early to start applying for him and saving points so he can draw in a nice unit in 6+ years. I've watched...

    Flights to AK

    X2 on the Alaska Airlines card. Using points for travel and airfare has helped me so much over the last several years.

    New guy from Dover Delaware

    406, you looking for one or our little elk? I'm glad they don't get much bigger or I'd never be able to get one out of the swamp.

    Backpack In or camp by the truck

    I'll second what others have said about the camping vs. packing in. As for the spoilage, if you can find water nearby you can hang the meat over the stream or seal it in contractor bags and sink it in the stream. Try not to get the meat wet though.

    Solo Idaho Archery elk hunt 2017

    Thanks. He grossed 280" and netted 268", despite his small thirds (apparently common in this region of Idaho). To me the real trophy is his age and of course the tenderloins!

    Solo Idaho Archery elk hunt 2017

    This was my second year. From what I learned last year I did more uphill sprints (from what little elevation I could find here in MD) compared to longer endurance runs. While this helped, the area I was hunting was really steep and had me sucking wind from time to time.

    Solo Idaho Archery elk hunt 2017

    I tried posting this a few months back, but it took some time to get my account activated. Anyway, since I've gotten so much from this forum I figured it was only fair to share my hunt. I still can't believe how it worked out in the end. The bull was aged at 7.5 years by cementum annuli...
