For gutless method - our first year my husband and I downloaded the youtube to our phones and winged it. We did pretty good! Getting the tenderloin took a bit of practice.
For getting it out yourself - first budget time for multiple hauls. Game stays pretty good when its hung so it's ok if it...
While we're discussing mtn chicken...
1. Has anyone seen/hunted grouse in the Wheeler Peak wilderness? and
2. How weird or not weird would it be for the recurve to accidentally get packed for a trip in a few weeks and for that recurve to accidentally maybe get brought up Wheeler Peak on a...
The hit of protein Mr.Grouse provided was much needed, given the amount of complaining from the husband unit I was hearing about our food supply for days 1-6. Thank you Mr.Grouse!
The real painful grouse encounter was on Day 6 (mileage total 15.6) when I had to hike out to civilization to fix...
The poptarts will definitely be powder.
Hopeful in the food chemical industrial complex that the pb&js will merely be 'well marinated'.
Just moved into this house 3 weeks ago and the basement room still has some remains of kiddos.
A lot of us have individual “getting ready”/scouting/specific gear question threads but how about a catch all thread for packing insanity, grocery carts full of chicken in a biscuit/easy cheese, and some of those “oh shit” or “hell yeah” moments before imminent departure…
I’ll go:

SOME NOTES ON THIS
We currently have a harmonica zip tied under our Tacoma.
This was to test out this as a prank for our buddy's Taco. It didn't work. No whistling noises. Harmonica is still there 1000+ miles later.
Sitka is great. Any gear company that can make a pair of womens hunting pants without detailing them in pink and keeping enough pockets deserves a medal.
Going on a 10-day hunt starting this Thurs night, but this past weekend I went on a little solo outing from last Thurs eve - Sat afternoon. My aunt and uncle live near the unit we're hunting this year but alas, after 20 years they are moving out of the high country so Sat/Sun I said goodbye to...
Dad wants us to go for does, so above. Only bucks if they are big boys.
This has been a dream of his forever and I wish he would stop breaking his back working his job job and start breaking his back maintaining this property (the changeover is in October from the former owners). He knows the...
