    Sling Keeperer - love the idea but skeptical...

    Perfect! That's exactly what I was looking for.

    One guy in my party totally skipped the little green status bar and has a tag in his cart, still waiting for it to finalize...

    A dandy of a pointless thread

    Maybe it's a generational thing? I've got a lot of friends from the Midwest, never heard any of them say it.

    Wyoming tags

    On one of my individual tags? I didn't see anything when I looked (unless it was in small print somewhere).

    A dandy of a pointless thread

    Steven Rinella (Meateater) uses it pretty frequently, and a lot of guys here are trying to channel his spirit. Check out some of the threads with pics, there's usually at least one reply that says something along the lines of "that's a dandy of a buck!"

    A dandy of a pointless thread

    Lotta guys here use the term dandy more than any other adjective to describe animals. Doesn't bother me, just makes me laugh a little - you never hear it used outside of the hunting community. Is it fair to assume that if I also adopt Steven Rinella's vernacular I'll become a dandy hunter like...

    Lightweight help

    Check out Expert Voice for military prodeals. Big Agnes make great high quality lightweight gear and gives military a nice discount. I save weight by not bringing a new pair of socks and baselayers every day. If you get wool socks/baselayers you can rotate two pair (hang one inside out in...

    Wyoming tags

    Where on the website are you guys finding your conservation tags to print them out? I've looked around, I can see the tags I've bought, but I can't find a pic of my conservation tag to print. I know I bought one. It didn't show up with my stamps in the mail either.

    Quick Hitter MR Beartooth 80 Review

    I've taken mine on a couple backpacking trips now, along with 5-6 hikes up and down and up and down a hill behind my house. Love the way the fit is adjustable, definitely makes the weight lighter than other packs I've used. I definitely agree re: number of straps being excessive. Sometimes it...

    I like being a hunter.

    I've only got two packets of elk left from last year, dear's all gone :(

    All around new hunter from Montana

    Also, when do you stop being an "all around new hunter"? Taking an animal every year since 13 sounds like you've at least leveled up from all around new!

    Weight

    Like many guys have said, 45-50 is a good weight to train for the backpacking portion of the hunt. Since your question was specifically regarding packing out an elk though, I'd think about it in terms of how much an elk weighs. Obviously depends on a lot of factors (bone in quarters or bone...

    Backpack Camp Set Up

    Big Agnes makes good stuff, and they stand by their products, so I'm a big fan. I think most people are recommend whatever tent they have, so I'll refrain from adding my $.02 there. I will say on the tent though, I'm a big fan of carrying a one size bigger tent than you need (ex: buying a 2...

    Shout out to Big Agnes

    Another +1 for Big Agnes, great company!! Check out the Copper Hotel. Having the big vestibule is clutch if you get stuck in bad weather and have to spend an extended period of time in your tent. The 3 man copper hotel still weighs in well under 5#.

    SilencerCo Supressors

    I've submitted 4 form 4's with the SS Kiosks. Super easy, and it's great because it saves your finger prints, so if you decide to buy additional suppressors in the future, you won't have go through that process again. The process to do an additional form 4 once they have your information is...

    Hammock - pros, cons, options, thoughts...

    How do you keep everything dry though if it's raining/the ground is wet? I've seen the tarps before but I never understand how you would go about organizing and keeping stuff dry (no floor to use) if it's raining, especially if there's a breeze.
