Taking clients hunting: Give me pointers
I do this annually and you are on the right track. A planted bird deal is always a great option as it works for all levels of hunting...key is to know your clients expectations - do they need more catered to or not? Do they want to shoot a lot of birds or just get out and enjoy some time away...- mmazour

Need some HuntTalk wisdom on 5th Wheels
npaden - good on ya and good reply. Some of the replies were why i didn't post weights. And yes, some scary stuff can happen towing, especially as you can attest to. And some of it is in our control and some of it not. Adjusting to conditions is a lot of it though. Be those conditions of...- mmazour

Need some HuntTalk wisdom on 5th Wheels
Pullin a 5th wheel is SO much nicer than a bumper pull, so much less sway and yes to all your comments on tracking. And for a few trips per year, definitely want to stay with a 3/4 ton. Leave the battling the 1ton duallys for the full timers. I do not have experience with toy haulers and...- mmazour

ATV winch cable
Looks like a good one, and yes even with a roller fairlead, up and down of a plow wears through them. I have went the Warn route and used their synthetic rope for the few replacements I have done, but I think the one you have is a good match. And again, with the plow, NONE of them will last...- mmazour

UTV for Wyoming Elk
Those units are all good UTV country - a bit more access - smoother and less scratches and dents on the truck. Not a must, but I woudl take it. -
Long ways out but not really
in unit 100, most all roads should be passable, save a large storm. There are enough guys chekcing some oil rigs along that triterritory road that they get travelled. Roads in 100 turn to crap when they are wet and just sticky gumbo. So beware of fresh rains or thaws more than anything... -
Worst Hotel you’ve ever stayed at ..
Funny how some of the same "resorts" keep popping up. I will second the Nullaviq Inn in Kotzebue, along with the Casper Motel 6. And glad we made the choice to avoid teh Warbonnet Inn in Browning and just keep on driving.- mmazour

mamas wrong name on passport app...
I just renewed my passport and got passports for my 13yo and 15yo it took over 4 months to receive!!! Plan ahead if you need or pay for the "special draw" and go the expedited route. Ridiculous that it takes that long.- mmazour

2023 spring turkey!
Had birds a bit skittish this year and was trying to get them right for my son. This bird skirted us 3 separate times at just over 50 yards after coming hard gobbling the whole way for an hour...when he tried it yet again that morning, I was furstrated and as he skirted, I took a longer shot...- mmazour

Gear list of mountain lion hunt??
Don't gear up too heavy - on the move in deep snow - you don't need/want any extra gear weghing you down. I am a gear hound and learned to shed a lot of it! To quote one houndsman - just take enough that you won't die if left out there all night.- mmazour

vortex or leupold cheap binos?
I have purchased the Vortex Diamondback 10x42s for the exact same purpose - landowner gift. And I messed with them for a bit and was pretty impressed. Were they as same as Swaro Els...No...but they were definitely decent for wildlife watching. $179 seem slike a great price...thought they were... -

Ask your onX Hunt questions here!
May have been asked before, but couldn't find it. In certain areas, I get the satellite view when zoomed out, but when I zoom in closer, it swictches to a BLM-style map, and I lose the terrain. I fairly recently upgraded to the full nationwide membership, and i THINK I have the layers right...- mmazour

Drew Wyoming Area 100
Most all elk in 100 are resident...they live in the red desert. And except for a few over by Green River, those pivots by Farson/Eden are the only irrigated agriculture in the unit. So the lopers and elk flock to them and they have created this hunt to provide some pressure relief on that area. -
I want to kill a Mt. Lion
Just to add on - WY has a lot of cats. And if you are willing to go "on-call" when the conditions are good and not booking a 6-day deal guessing on the weather, many guys will go cheaper (like $2k cheaper or so) than the prices listed above. The houndsmen usually have enough other...- mmazour

Duck Bacon
I've been meaning to try this for awhile and glad I did with some plump mallards I shot over New Years. I followed the DU recipe pretty much, but added some maple syrup and glazed with maple syrup while smoking. You are missing out if you don't try this at some point. Duck Bacon (ducks.org)- mmazour
