Its a great scouting tool, but when it comes to the hunt in the field I prefer the garmin mt or oregon, they are fool proof and idiot proof for the most part, extra set of batteries and life is good.
I have used wiggys on many deer and elk hunts, they are light weight and pack into a small stuff sack. They are perfect for crossing those small creeks that are to wide to jump and are knee deep, with that said they are not designed to be worn outside of the crossing area, they don't handle...
So is UA going to drop Cam, Eva, Jim, Remi, and any other hunter celebrities when they make a bad shot, or hell maybe not even a shot, when a company drops an individual for her husband doing a completely legal hunt when an animal is harvested with a lethal shot, think about how many boiler room...
There is a crane permit required for ND, price is around 5 bucks maybe 3, just had crane for supper tonight, been hoarding the final holdouts in the freezer.
North Dakota is also excellent. They stage pretty much along the canadian line from central ND to Mt through the end of October now days and slowly filter south. They love sheet water only 6 to 12 inches deep. It was amazing watching them on a stretch of refuge where they were stacked in and the...
I know you said not one for sleeping on the ground, and wall tent not in the budget. There is an alternative that has worked well for me that will be close to your budget and that is a hub style Ice House from Eskimo. They come in various sizes, are sturdy and can attest they handle the elements...
Randy, I think you and Trent Loose would have a great conversation over the public land issue, since he's on the wrong side of the fence on the issue I think he would be great for a little back and forth on the issue.
Theres some nice public land areas in Iowa where you can park and get lost all day, see some deer bump into another hunter maybe, I have only hunted late season ML but its no different than many other states public hunting areas, you do have to put in some homework but where don't you have to do...
Glad to hear it Mtbirdhunter, on the other side of the line we have seen a few young pheasants around but we've been getting hammered by these hard rains and wind lately that it worries me. Every year the past 3 seems so optimistic and then mother nature opens up the faucet towards the end of...
Mike Eastman's books on elk, mule deer and antelope hunting are good books to read. Also Robby Denning on mule deer, anything by Robert Ruark is great for some african adventure or the old man and the boy is one you can't put down.
I sat in on a seminar put on by retired sergeant major Kyle Lamb at the NRA convention based of his book Leadership in the shadows a couple years ago, he had talked about his former boss Gen McChrystal, he mentioned how great of a leader and professional he was, and also how McChrystal firmly...
Either way works, the downfall with a party app is if your friend decides to give up, in that case don't take on another buddy your pts fall to the one with the least amount, ND does allow one yr absence in the draw, otherwise you lose them all. Good Luck
Its probably PCP ammo (polymer cased ammunition) its rare to come across it, last time I seen it was a couple years ago at NRA convention. They had a limited sale but are trying to push it more for military and LE use.
I enjoy hunting a general unit in MT where atvs are widely used on the trails and roads. My experience is that the majority of these hunters don't seem to get to far from there 4 wheelers mostly just waiting for a elk to run by which makes it great once one is 1 to 5 miles from the trail cause...
Wanten waste also occurs by many people when they take the whole critter home and do a poor job in the garage. I have recently seen the light on the gutless method over the last couple years. My favorite way to get the tenderloins is after the qtrs, and rib meat is removed I simply roll the guts...
When it comes to free rifle and shotgun ranges you will always have people that abuse the facility. ND game and fish have an excellent range south of bismarck that is policed by the individuals using it at the moment. Once the rules are broken the department shuts it down for a period of time...
Not trying to stick up for the montana fish wildlife and parks, I disagree with their management plans very much so, however it was the montana residents that went to the polls to stick us with the high cost of the combo tags, which my party gladly reminds our mt camp buddies every year. But it...
