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:
First...
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...
Welp we're shirking our traditional bird hunt in South Dakota this year because my dad bought some land in N Michigan and can't wait to deer hunt on it. Last time I was deer hunting was when I was 11:
I'm used to tromping up ridges and kicking my own ass out here hunting elk.

Selling my compound bow. Has been tried and true for the last 3 seasons, restrung last season. Shoots great. Wonderful starter bow for a lefty kiddo or small framed lady (I'm 5'2, 25" draw length). Only selling because I upgraded!
Comes with quiver, I need to look around and see if I still...

Poked around on google and didn't get a totally straight answer anywhere.
Looking for some advice on....
States where snaring (using a basic wire snare / running a snare line) is legal
Any states where snaring is more of a free-for-all (eg in Michigan snares are only permitted for beavers)...
So nearly every year Mr.Ammo and I host a competitive cooking competition to determine who is the better chef of wild game. We invite 20-30 friends aka judges. The structure is as follows:
-Round 1 we both use pheasant
-Round 2 we both use ground elk
-Round 3 is chefs choice (backstrap is off...
You guys ever get an elk with 4 tenderloins?
Husband got an old BIG cow this weekend and when I went to get the TLs, on each side there was a second separate smaller tenderloin under the main TL. Again, she was freakishly large.
Ok now that I caught your eye with that thread title GET YOUR MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER I'm talking about snow.
We just got a big (first) storm in the rockies with another sleeper storm on the way this week. The zone we're looking at hunting elk this weekend is currently at 2"-12" with...
Context: Last weekend we were out scouting and grouse hunting with bows - and passed a few first season rifle hunters that were carrying blow guns (presumably so they could carry their rifles and use the blow gun as a walking stick)
1. I did not know this was a thing (but guess it makes...
Does anyone wear shooting glasses while in the field? I was into trap/skeet for awhile so I got into the habit of wearing my shooting glasses when out hunting but alas I lost my nice pair hunting on Maui a month ago. My last pair was WileyX which were great because they were free but now I need...

I don't have my shit together quiiiite yet (waiting for my bino upgrade, obviously it's too early for...
I just got myself an AGC Alaska Classic Max (realtee edge/gen L) pouch to go with an AGC day pack. The system rocks, but as I'm 5'2" 115 the bino pouch is uuuge. Anyone have a smaller pouch they'd be willing to trade? Has to be an AGC so it works with my pack.
Hi all -
I was archery hunting in CO this year and found a medium sized Prois shell tangled in some brush. I brought it home and washed it - it fits me alright, a little big. I have hunting/skiing/etc clothing coming out my ears and don't really need another shell. I'd be happy to mail it to...
