Archery Mt 310hd
I guess if it turns out to be heavy with bear in the locations I want to hunt we will probably pull the pin and spend a few days in some other country. The only other country I am familiar with out there is just over the mountain in Madison where I have been up Papoose and Indian. Not sure... -
Archery Mt 310hd
Haha yeah we found a few of those stations. The signs in there are pretty straight forward, enough to send chills down your back. I guess it doesnt bother me a whole lot, just changes a little bit how I hunt is all. Love the area, shooting an elk is only part of the adventure for me. Being... -
Archery Mt 310hd
I will be giving Taylor a try for archery this year. I have been out there a handful of times during rifle season and the spring. I have been in touch with the local biologist and warden for the area. Just wondering if anyone has any other information I could use when I am out there this... -
Idaho OTC tags sell out?
Thanks yeah I peeked on there today and seen there was 6000+ OTC tags still available. I know the Sawtooth sells quickly but I just have other irons in the fire that wont allow me to go for those. I am trying to decide between 29, 30 or 48.- Badger_55

Idaho OTC tags sell out?
haha nice! This would be my first trip of 2 already. I head to Montana for rifle this year. A 3rd trip would give me all sorts of problems here on the home front with the better half.- Badger_55

Idaho Archery hunt 29 vs 30 vs 48
I am hoping to chase elk in Idaho this year and have had my mind set on 30 for awhile now but I initially really liked 48 as well. I am second guessing some things about 30 though. I have recently read a lot about being a narrow unit and most of the elk tend to stay over on the montana side... -
Idaho OTC tags sell out?
I read an article by Jordan Breshear saying that Idaho sold out of their OTC elk and deer last year. I was wondering if June 22nd is long to wait to risk not getting a tag? I am waiting on the Wyoming deer draw results (June 21st) as if we dont draw there then we planned on going to chase Elk...- Badger_55

Bear spray vs. bullets: how to stay safe in grizzly country
I carry both as well. Doesn't take a whole lot of wind to make your spray be a poor choice. I always have rifle hunted in Griz areas this year will be my first for archery. That is going to put me on my toes a little more. Horses, pistol and spray makes me feel a bit more comfortable in bear... -
Arrow Selection VAP vs RIP vs anything else
I ran RIP elites with SS outserts and they very nice work. I felt like I was underspined with the SS on a 340 with them and I decided with getting a new bow I wanted to give those VAP tko elites a try with the SS outserts. Shooting 80yds with significant wind I dont need to compensate at all... -

Elk .... Let's see them!!!
My dads first elk. Doing it his way, my brother and I were fortunate to be within yelling distance when it all went down. We were in a full out sprint to get to him with pure excitement. I have only seen my dad that excited a few times. What a memory and a trip. -
Pro defiant or carbon defiant
Ohio did you find a bow? Just seen this post. I have both carbon and aluminum riser defiant turbos. First started out with the regular defiant turbo, tried not to buy into the carbon game as I really do like the Hoyts in aluminum but a mishap happened very close to my trip a year ago and I... -

Good rounds to put through the 300 Win
Just picked up my new Hells Canyon. Scope and rings are in the mail. Now I am just curious of some good rounds to put through the gun.
