Hey fellas,
I know Randy is going to see this, and that is part of the point. I've been needling him for a few years now to write a book. He's written so many amazing hunting stories here on Hunt Talk, and I don't have the time to dig in and find all of them.
But, I know Hunt Talkers are...
Our friends at GoHunt are throwing down the gauntlet for Memorial Day which TONS of stuff on sale.

Hey guys,
I'm back to bother you with gear sales for the week :)
Simms is currently offloading all their past season waders and wading boots. If you're looking to replace, upgrade, or add to your kit, now is def the time. Entry-level waders are on sale as low as $150 with hundreds of dollars...
Hey team --
Perusing sales with our affiliate partners, I noticed Simms is offloading all their gear from last season. I pulled my top picks here for both men and women, but they also have their most basic waders on sale for $150. Lots of boots, waders, summer gear, accessories, and more on...
This isn't a Hunt Talk deal or an affiliate link, but @TN2shot07 brought it to my attention so as I am the Hunt Talk shlepper of deals I figured I'd add it here:
https://www.peaxequipment.com/products/free-backcountry-ti-spoon
They're offering the spoon for free, you just pay shipping. I have...
Hey guys —
I know most of you are in on how we're building out more programs with brands to both save you money and pay the Hunt Talk bills. We want to be super open about this, and bring you in on what we're up to.
The best deal you can usually find will be at the GOHUNT Gear Shop when you...
Heyo team —
As Randy noted in the first thread on this section, we're starting to make gear lists that will span from things like backcountry hunts to pack-supported hunts to how @Big Fin & the Fresh Tracks team outfit their hunting rigs.
The first list up for discussion is:
Randy's Top...
Hey guys --
Found a few killer sales today as I was perusing the web for gear.
28% off Petzl Tikka Core Headlamps on Amazon
Nearly $150 off the Sitka Dew Point Jacket in Dusty Olive (so a nice hunting neutral for you solids lovers)
Almost $100 off my fave camp chair of all time: The Nemo...
Read it and weep. I wasn't sure if our promo code would work since this stuff is on deep sale, but boy howdy, it does.
Gerber has a ton of great stuff ready to go out the door, and the sale runs through the 24th. We are also running an affiliate program with them so if you use these links and...
Hey team,
As promised, I'll drop the occasional one-off deal (or deals) that I find. Background: The gear we post is either gear that @Big Fin swears by, our team uses, or that fits into my gear world after spending four years at GearJunkie.
We are building affiliate deals with a ton of...
Hey team —
We're doing some big-time organizing over here to make things easier for everyone to find. Basically, we're building a small hub of written media over at HTTP://www.hunttalk.com/strategy. This will include gear lists, basic how-to info, and whatever else seems good for sharing...
Hey friends -
Some of you might remember me from quite a few years back when I helped Randy out with some social media, and asked a bunch of questions to you fine folks as a brand new hunter. You guys helped me a LOT and I'm still hunting eight years later :)
I'm also working with and for...
Is that even what we call it? Or do we call it being self-aware?
I got pulled into a discussion on this after retweeting this article via MeatEater: http://trophycasefishingandhunting.com/my-thoughts-on-hunters-criticizing-hunters-do-it/
One man said to not use the word "community" because it...
Since I love to bother you guys on occasion with ethical questions, I thought I'd share an essay I wrote awhile back on social media and hunting, it dives into the way hunters portray themselves on social and the defensive reactionary theme that has become popular as of late...
Well, I got a chance to go out for the first time this fall yesterday, so I thought I'd share the story with you guys and then add on as I continue the hunt. So it’s not a “live hunt” so much as an ongoing one, but hey, semantics, right?
One of my co-workers was awesome enough to take me out...
Wondering where you guys got started with basic elk calling. Best diaphragms, calls, tips/tricks, etc.
I'd like to buy something soon and I'm starting from scratch so anything helps :)
Cruised through Yellowstone yesterday to get a drive in and see how the bugle party in Mammoth is going. It's pretty awesome out there right now. Surrounding the park I saw at least 400 elk, all very much so in the rut. The noise is fun.
The big guy has earned the name "Carbasher" after he...
Just wanted to let everyone know about this cool program if you have any fourth grade kiddos this year. Every fourth grader can complete an online activity and receive a free access pass to all federal lands: https://everykidinapark.gov/
One of my best friend's daughters is in the fourth grade...
A friend's llama is missing near Driggs, Idaho and has been for a few wks now. If any of you live/hunt this area, please keep an eye out for Haggy. She's bright red, and probably wouldn't come up to a stranger unless you had some sort of bucket with grain in it. $500 reward for info that leads...
I'm hunting for the first time this fall with the goals of getting a deer and an elk to fill the freezer. I didn't put in for any special tags this year so I'll be doing both hunts OTC, and I have a few rookie questions.
The tag/permit system has been pretty confusing to initially navigate...
