Hello folks. I'm cleaning out my hunting closet for a little spring cleaning. I found several things I just don't use enough to justify keeping.
(1)Mystery Ranch Metcalf. Foliage. Medium. Used a couple times on backpack trips. $400
(2) Sitka Tool box. Optifade...
We got our bird dog out to some public land the other day in western New York to chase some spring woodcock. We found ten! It's definitely the most I've ever seen in one day. This is our first bird dog Bear. He's a one year old pudelpointer. I snapped a lucky picture of one woodcock. It's...
So my boss walked into my office a couple days ago and said he is sending me on a work training in Salt Lake City in Utah October 1-3. I asked him if it doesn't cost the company extra money can I play with the return date of the trip and take some vacation days to hunt elk? He told me he...
Hey guys,
I didn't get out last year to hunt elk like I was planning on, but it looks like this year I will be heading to Colorado for an OTC hunt in unit 54. Does anyone have any knowledge of this unit and willing to nudge me in the right direction? It is likely I will be out for the 3rd OTC...
Hello all,
I don't know if any of you have heard about this proposal, so I thought I would post a link to an article with a Q&A with one of the Advisory Board members Ben Masters. It is certainly a big conservation issue of our time. The board voted 7-1 last week to propose the euthanasia or...
Hey guys, is anyone out there going to the PA elk expo this year in Benezette? August 20 and 21. I'm close enough to Elk County, Pennsylvania that I might just head down there. I've never been, but I hear they do the annual tag drawing during the expo and I have my $10 chance in the hat...
Hey does anyone know of a reasonably priced guided cow elk hunt in Montana during the general rifle season? I was planning on doing it myself but my hunting partner bailed on me and I want to hunt elk but really don't want to hunt alone.
Has anyone hunted 327 during the general rifle season? I just applied for an antlerless permit as well so I am hoping to maximize my likelihood of punching a tag.
This is my first ever spring turkey. The season opener here in NY was yesterday, 5/1. I spotted this guy 150 yards away sparring with another Jake at the edge of a hay field. I hit the hen call and he practically walked to me on a string. I couldn't believe it. I always used to wonder why people...
So I am heading west to Montana for my first year elk hunting with rifle. I didn't draw a special permit (which I am not surprised about). I am looking for any legal bull. I'm mostly in it for the meat. I have a few units on my hit list, but I am curious what you all think. What units would...
Ok, I thought I saw a post like this a few weeks ago but I can't find it. My birthday is coming up and I want to join/donate to some conservation charities. The charities that are definitely on my list are as follows: Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation...
My wife and I are trying to eat only game meat this year as sort of a New Years resolution. I put three whitetail in the freezer this year and I do some squirrel, rabbit, and duck hunting. We eat meat at most dinner time meals. There probably isn't a magic number out there, but how much meat do...
Hello all,
First off I am brand new to western hunting; I'm so new I've never even gone on a trip yet. I live in Western NY and love whitetail hunting. i also enjoy backcountry trips in the Rockies. Up until now those trips have just been short backpackers or float trips. I have a fitness...
