That's a helluva drive. Just make sure you do some good e-scouting and have a couple of backup plans. Pack extra in your truck just in case, and make a good playlist to listen to, or have some good podcasts ready. Listening to standup comedy usually helps me get through long drives more than...
So youre saying the weight needs to be closer or as close to my body as possible? That is basically what I have heard so far, as close to the body as possible and more of the weight just over center of the back? I need to play around with it some more. I have been trying to find a post or...
I also bought a marshall for this upcoming season, haven't checked the weight yet but I've worn hiking twice so far with the majority of my gear, about 7 miles each hike, mostly flat some minor elevation change. I get pain on my upper back, mainly between the shoulder blades. From what I can...
Well, never had a good spotting scope, and since this will be my first year doing a hunt that required one, I decided to start the search process. I didn't want to spend a bunch of money on something I may not like, or wasn't what I needed, so I searched and searched and finally came across...
To start, I do not have as much knowledge on this issue as others on here, so I am mainly writing this as a means to put down my thoughts. I read the MeatEater article when it came out and have been trying to digest it ever since. I have not read all of the arguments for and against, but I have...
Thank you that's useful, I had not discovered that yet. So if I'm reading that right, the Hayden creek road #6 seems to allow highway vehicles and ATVs but you would have to be hunting 86 to access that road via a truck or ATV? Access from 82 would be via hayden pass road 970 which will be...
Hey everyone, considering this unit as well. Anyone know the easiest way to find out what roads are drivable up to the wilderness areas? I see some county roads that lead up to the mountains and most of them go through private land, just unsure if those are open to public since they are CR or...
I have never used a water filter, (I'm totally new to this type of hunting/gear). We have done a lot of hiking but only day trips and always had enough water. Doing some research, the most important features seem to be pore size and whether or not the rating is absolute or nominal. Absolute...
Thank you. Essentially, GoHunt is going to be or should be a one stop shop, especially after their mobile app is up and running, which I am not sure at this moment if it is or not. And I did see that the CPW website allows you to get a lot of this information for free, such as the post draw...
Thank you Randy, this is a great resource. I would like to suggest a section within HT, dedicated to diet, health and fitness, before, during and after the hunt. I myself am interested in eating right and physical activity not only in preparation for a hunt, but all year long. I have seen...
Being new to all this, this thread is pretty overwhelming. I can see for me at least how beneficial gohunt could be for putting in an application and planning a hunt, either drawn or OTC. Having never used any of the previously mentioned platforms, I could essentially pick any and be better off...
Hey everyone, still trying to figure a lot of this out, being new to western big game hunting, and trying to search as much as possible, vs starting new threads on the same subjects. Regarding the gohunt vs onx question, when talking about go hunt, are you referring to the insider option? From...
