Thinking about hunting this unit in 2017 east of Steam Boat ski resort. Have an area picked out an can give more specific details if anyone wants to discuss over PM of the area, but do you guys think I am spinning my wheels here or does this area hold elk?
Anyone have a discount code for go hunt where they take a percentage off your yearly membership? I don't really need a gift card, and those are the only ones I have found. Thanks!
Just curious what rigs everyone uses when the pack into the back country streams and lakes. Looking for a good recommendation for a starter set up that I can stuff into my pack. Or does everyone recommend going with a standard two piece rod?
Hello All,
Curious how everyone handles water crossings? Do you walk through with your boots, go barefoot or have a pair of hip waders? New to back country hunting and curious how everyone approaches this since I am sure you are bound to run into it from time to time.

Hello All,
I have been trying to read and get as much information as possible for my first elk hunt, but there is only so much you can get out of a book before you need real life experience to teach you the rest. I am a bit hesitant to book my first hunt as I am from NYC and this isn't the most...
Hello All,
Need some guidance regarding Garmin GPS and the topo maps. Do you recommend buying the unit with the pre-loaded topo feature, or do you recommend downloading a different application. Does OnXMaps come with a topo feature? Any help is appreciated here.

Can anyone recommend a good multi pin slider site? I like the idea of have at least 4 fixed pins so I don't have to adjust for close range in the field, but I also like the idea of a floater pin for game that is further away and I can adjust that pin for a variable distance.
For someone who has never hunted in Grizz or Black Bear country, how would you recommend going about it. Setting up camp and protecting camp, what to do while hunting/packing out meat and also what to do if you do have an encounter. I haven't looked at hunting any bear territory and feel I'm...
Was looking at the Garmin etrex with topo maps already loaded as well as the 64st. Is there much of a difference between the two or which one would you recommend and why.
I would like to start taking some pictures while out in the field and also take better pictures of the animals I harvest. Also start messing around a little with some amateur photography. Can anyone recommend a camera that wont break the bank but takes good pictures and is a good starter camera?
I was looking at OnXMaps and was curious what everyone's thoughts are for the Chip vs the App. I was leaning towards buying a GPS and just going the chip route only becasue if the issues I hear with people having trouble loading layers and also the fear of my cell phone running out of juice. The...

Can anyone recommend a good light weight tripod for back packing where I can put my binos, spotting scope and a camera on it. Looking for something light weight and decent, but not trying to break the bank.
Hello All,
New to Elk hunting and I hear a lot of descriptions on what different facing slopes are good for and what time of day to hunt them. Can anyone provide a brief summary of what they think what the benefits and best time of day to hunt each facing slope or use one or the other for...
Any recommendations for cleaning your pack once you have packed out an animal. I just bought a Kifaru timberline, and was curious of how everyone cleans theirs? Do you take the pack off the frame or do everything together?
My dream hunt is a mountain goat hunt. I am 32 years old with no points. If you were in my shoes where would you apply or start building point to try and draw a tag to go on one of these hunts? Looking to develop a strategy so I can make this dream come true one of these days.

Hello All,
I was curious how people who fly into the states to hunt deal with getting the meat home from their hunting grounds if you are flying. I have a few basic questions below, and I know I am leaving something out so was curious what everyone's tactics are.
1. Do you buy the cooler at...
