    New Product Idea - Shooting Stick Platform - PoleX

    I picked up a set for an upcoming elk hunt. Great service, they contacted me to ensure my shipping info was correct. They shipped them right out and I'm very happy with the setup. While I haven't used them yet in the field they look like quality, parts fit nicely, seem sturdy and I'm looking...

    Idaho Unit 39 Solo Backpack Rifle Hunt

    So I'm doing the logistics on hunting Idaho unit 39 rifle hunt during the 10/27 - 11/9 time slot. I've read through the forums and I'm prepared for the sea of orange, that's what I'm telling myself now, LOL. Yes, I'm planning on staying away from roads by at least a mile. Right now I'm thinking...

    To hang bear bags or not to hang bear bags when backcountry hunting.

    "WHAT SHOULD I CARRY IN MY FIRST AID KIT?" - ANSWERED PART #2

    Checkout Cliff Grays fire starter here: It's a variation of the dryer lint and Vaseline that I have used before but I like this a bit better, less mess. Looks like a no brainier to make. The candle wax is about $30 on Amazon so that's your major expense.

    Archery Elk Sleep System - Hammock

    I used an Eno double hammock on my 2016 AZ elk hunt and loved it. Temps were around 40 with the lowest around 28-30. Below 36 degrees I would need to upgrade my sleeping bag to keep using the hammock. My only fear was the two skunks that came into our camp most nights looking for food. I kept...

    Hot Tent?

    Well I'm going to be 60 this year and have treated myself to a Idaho elk hunt. Not a good unit but it will be fun doing a solo backpack hunt. I'm also trying not to spend the kings ransom on tent and stove. I've looked at all the really nice $$ hot tent and titanium stoves and I'm going to...

    Best bino harness and why

    Thanks for the info guys. I'm rigging up for an Idaho elk hunt this fall and looking for a new bino system. Looks like either FHF or Marsupial. Think I'm leaning toward the Marsupial. Anyone use the gun attachment? I'd like to have my sidearm handy and that looks like it fits the bill.

    2.5 Man Shelter Thoughts

    I just ordered 3 man hot tent w/ stove jack ( tipi) from Temu. Just trying to keep the cost down on my solo elk hunt this fall. I'll see how the quality is went it shows up in the next week or so. If it's not good quality then I'll break down and go Big Agnes or similar. The one I got doesn't...

    Got my first Wyoming elk tag. Unit 35. Now What?

    Always good to use a hunt trip as a reason to buy new gear. Doing that right now too.

    Dark Timber Still Hunting

    Like others have posted, move slooow and glass more than walk. I was fortunate to take a 5x5 on an AZ hunt back in 2016. He's not anyone's trophy but mine. After patterning a group of elk moving from feeding to bed over 2-3 days and missing my setups by minutes I figured with the end of the hunt...
