I like my single pin slider. Set the pin at 34 yards and at 20 I am about 4 inches high and at 40 I am about 6 inches low. If I am going to attempt a longer shot I set it to the correct distance.
My logic is.. If you have time to range it, you will have time to slide the pin. If an animal...
Awesome hunt Randy Congrats on the Sheep. I just started watching the hunt on youtube and I am excited to see all 9 days. It is easy to tell that going on a guided hunt bothered you so bad that you have to put the disclaimer that you had to use a guide every time you talk about the hunt. For...
I know it is past the Wyoming draw deadline now but I hunted region E in 2015 for mule deer. I ended up with decent muley in a unit south of Lander hunting in sagebrush country. We saw other hunters around but I didnt think it was too bad. We saw quite a few deer but not many older bucks...
I saw 2 other threads titled 2017 MT Whitetail so I thought I would make it 3. If people keep posting these MT Whitetails Randy might be losing his whitetail honey hole.
Really cold and windy morning in early November. State land next to a BMA in Eastern Montana.
I hunted unit 17 last year so I drove through 18 a couple times. It looked like there was a decent amount of access to public land. Lots of antelope around.
I did it last year on foot with a friend during the 2nd week of the archery season. The first day it snowed, hailed, rained for a few hours which made the hiking trails a sloppy mess. After the trails dried up 2 days later it wasnt bad walking on the trails. The woods were pretty thick in...
I was in unit 53 co last year on a first time archery diy wilderness hunt otc with a friend. We went the 2nd week of the season. We heard elk bugle a few days in a 7 day hunt. Get up and out before the sunrises and stay until you need a flashlight to get back. Elk only made noises the first...
The chip just gives the topo map with the landownership information. You can buy a subscription from garmin to download satellite images on the gps. Not sure if there is any free software package out there that would do it.
If you have the onxmap hunt app on your cell phone you can overlay...
I recently purchased the Icon pro frame 5200 along with the 1850 pack so I could switch out between the day pack and a bigger pack. However Kuiu recently had a sale and all the packs were 30% off with free shipping when I purchased it sometime around a month ago. I am not sure how often they...
I use a small stove I got from Amazon. I think it is some type of MSR pocket rocket knockoff. I have used it for 2 years now with no issues. However the construction of it seems really cheap and low quality. I can not believe it has lasted this long. The quality of it seems so cheap I...
I keep 2 large heavy duty garbage bags for this reason. No need to take the boots off just pull them on and hold them up when crossing. Try to avoid sharp rocks. The bags come in handy for a few other uses also if needed. Sometimes I will put my pack in one for the night to keep it dry.
I did a NE Wyoming Antelope hunt this year. The unit I was in was lots of driving between small pieces of public land while looking at 100s of antelope that were on private land. I finally got a decent Antelope after 3 days of lots of driving and waiting for antelope to walk onto the public...
I hunted a few different BMAs in 2014 for mule deer. There are type 1 and type 2 BMAs. Type 1 there is usually like a check in box or something and anyone can hunt there and type 2 a landowner or someone controls how many people are hunting there and the rules are different for each one. Best...
A Base camp equipment dump.
I know it probably depends on what species/where you are hunting but what is in your basic wall tent camp setup we always see in your TV shows.
What brand of wall tent? what size? vinyl floor sew in or removable? wood stove? etc?
Cot? Sleeping bag? sleeping pad...
