    Sleeping Bag for hot tent question

    If one is hot tenting in late October/November out west, what sleeping bag rating is best? I have heard that the best rule of thumb is to get a sleeping system rated for 20 degrees colder than the anticipated nighttime lows. That said, if you are going to be in a hot, wouldn't a 0 degree...

    Sharing a rifle: bad idea?

    Is it a terrible idea to share a rifle setup with my wife? We will both be going hunting this fall. She is 5'5 and I'm 5'10. She has shot my rifle before and done fine at the range but with a scope dialed in and shooting from any random field rest and position, should I just buy her a rifle or...

    Wyoming

    I drew a (special draw) GEN Type 1 tag with 1 point. Had to have won the lottery in the random draw. My wife drew a type 6 cow tag. crazy thing is, you could probably (don't see why not) draw a special draw GENERAL type 1 tag with no points in that 25% random draw any given year. entirely about...

    Kestrel with Applied Ballistics

    anyone pair their rangefinder up to a kestrel? is it worth the additional cost for western hunts? kestrels are not cheap. or is it just much more effective to close the distance and avoid cross winds

    Arizona - Worth the wait/cost?

    buying AZ elk preference points makes a ton of sense if you already plan on hunting in AZ to start with. You need to buy the hunting license anyways. But if you are like me just wanting a PP and will not be hunting in that state this year, shelling out $150 (or whatever it is now) for a point...

    Thoughts on Kuiu products (clothing)?

    I found this interview with Jason Hairston very interesting talking about the pros/cons of merino wool vs synthetics. What you mentioned about the synthetic-material drawing sweat away from your arms I think is explained in this clip

    Thoughts on Kuiu products (clothing)?

    I am a fan of First Lite but have been looking at some Kuiu items for a while. I'm curious for anyone who's battle-tested their clothing -- base layers, mids, and outer layers -- what are your thoughts? it doesn't seem like they make a ton of women' options though

    Hunt Season Opener or wait a few days for pressure to ease

    The unit I am looking at if we draw this year has a start date of Sep 26 (great tail-end of rut timeline) and goes all the way until the end of Oct. The issue is there's a general deer rifle season that goes from Sep 15 to Oct 6. With both deer and elk general tag holders in the woods, I'm...

    Hunt Season Opener or wait a few days for pressure to ease

    do you prefer to be there for the 1st day of the season and try to be the first on the mountain or do you like to start a few days after (assuming the season isn't only 5 days long) to let a lot of that initial pressure ease off from other hunters? The unit I am looking at if we draw this year...

    Hot Tenting for Mid-Season Elk Hunts?

    Trunk camping day hunts would be preference but may also backpack hunt to escape crowds. We will have three hunters so we won't be adding a ton of extra weight individually with the stove

    Hot Tenting for Mid-Season Elk Hunts?

    Talking about October elk hunts in CO, WY, and ID. Is a hot tent overkill? I know it will be additional weight but I'm wondering if it would be better to go the hot tent route or the regular tent + 0 degree mummy bag and liner. I think the easy answer would be hot tents if talking late season...
