    How are the crowds out there in the woods?

    were you able to hike away from the crowds and find some seclusion?

    Is social media hurting the great outdoors experience?

    small-time youtube channels I assume can also slip under the radar and film as they please and say "well my channel isn't even monetized yet therefore it's not for commercial use" or "I'm just documenting my hunts so family can watch later".

    Is social media hurting the great outdoors experience?

    holy sh*t. he was supposed to be my mentor during a Wildlife Society conference in Sheridan, WY a few years ago when I was an undergrad. I don't think he said two words to me after I introduced myself. I ended up meeting some awesome WGFD biologists who got me my first jobs in that field though.

    Is social media hurting the great outdoors experience?

    guy from my HS is now a pretty small-time "TV hunting personality". 100% of his hunts are on private land with trophy-class animals. Not sure if it's high fence or not but it is absolutely private land rights acquired by his TV show. he posts all the time to help promote his brand and the show...

    Is social media hurting the great outdoors experience?

    it's probably the human requirement for acceptance and to fit in more than anything else...which requires likes, shares, followers, subscribers, and comments

    Is social media hurting the great outdoors experience?

    Way more fishing pressure on the Erie & Ontario trib steelhead than I've ever seen before (then I see YouTube videos and Instagram posts featuring steelhead and it all makes sense). Everyone is hunting coues deer now - pre social media few people even knew that was a thing. I've also heard...

    Just how important is camo to spot-n-stalk western rifle hunting?

    is camo vs. solid colored neutral earth tone colors really a huge deal in terms of open space elk or deer hunting? Now archery is a whole other beast so I will not question camo for archery. But in most states for rifle seasons, you have to wear solid blaze orange vests and or hats anyways so...

    Has Cabelas gone down hill?

    it's too bad there's not a hunting equivalent to what I believe Tackle Warehouse is for fishing. Good prices, great selection of great brands, and free shipping over a certain threshold.

    Driving Elk or Deer Meat Cross-Country

    How do you feel about thawing chilled/semi-frozen/frozen transported meat to butcher at home and refreezing? Does that cause any issues?

    Driving Elk or Deer Meat Cross-Country

    In Wyoming (October), if I keep meat hanging in shaded cool spot, can it hang for more than 1 day? I'd love to let rigor run it's course and meat to get a little aged before I put it an a cooler full of ice and effectively semi-freeze/freeze it

    Driving Elk or Deer Meat Cross-Country

    So you'd recommend bringing your own frozen jugs vs just buying some dry ice once you have an animal down?

    Driving Elk or Deer Meat Cross-Country

    yea I'm not spending $600+ for a cooler. I'm spending $120 max on a cooler

    Driving Elk or Deer Meat Cross-Country

    i figure just leave the coolers open and out in the cold the whole night should suffice

    Driving Elk or Deer Meat Cross-Country

    If I were to put unfrozen (left to chill at least 1 day in game bags) elk or deer meat/quarters in a cooler with regular or dry ice, would that meat fare well on a drive from Wyoming to the midwest? I've been watching videos on youtube where guys are insisting you need to have your meat frozen...

    Thoughts on Idaho Early Rifle OTC tag?

    units east of Lewiston 10-20. i do understand wolves have done a number on the elk in these units but curious if decent elk hunting & less crowds than elsewhere in ID for OTC. Also, do not have pack animals so that could be a limiting factor in many of these units
