Small Game
I drew a 1st season rifle tag in Colorado. My son who is 15 is going with. He absolutely loves small game hunting so for $1.75 I can get him a license. He has some of the CCI Quiet 22 ammo. Will he blow all the elk out of the woods if he is occasionally shooting his 22? -

Mystery Ranch Metcalf
I have a Eberlstock pack and have been hiking lately with 50lbs in it. My son is heading out west with me this year on an elk hunt so I needed another pack. Scheels had some Mystery Ranch packs on sale last weekend so since I was looking for another pack I decided to splurge for the Metcalf...- uster19

What should I expect?
I am going on my first elk hunt this fall in Colorado (rifle). I have Vortex 10x50 binos and a tripod. What is a reasonable distance to be able to spot elk with that setup? My son is going with and I have a set of Binos for him too. I have upgraded my pack, boots, his boots, range finder and... -

Decline In Hunters Threatens How U.S. Pays For Conservation (NPR)
Not normally a big fan on NPR but this was a good article. This is the first "main stream" new piece I have seen addressing this issue that is widely talked about by hunters. https://www.npr.org/2018/03/20/593001800/decline-in-hunters-threatens-how-u-s-pays-for-conservation Hope the link worked.- uster19

Black Gold Sight Tape Help
I upgraded to a Black Gold Verdict sight. I also recently switched arrows and had a new string put on. I went through and tuned the bow so it was shooting great. I have the 5 pins set 20-60 yards. I decided I was going to utilize the sight tape so I borrowed my friends chrono and shot 10... -

2017 Montana Spring Bear Hunt
Like many others I am planning a bear hunt in MT next spring. I am trying to do some research and narrow down some areas. I have a few areas selected but I am noticing some units close down early from hunters shooting too many sows. I was hoping to head out there in May but I am afraid that...- uster19

Introducing kids to conservation, podcast idea?
I know conservation is discussed to some extent on every podcast but I have yet to hear or find any good information on getting kids introduced to conservation. Steve Rinella had a guy from Rocky Mountain Goat Alliance on and they have summer projects where people go to an area and count goats...- uster19

Hunt opening week or wait?
So our initial plan was to get to Wyoming Unit 16 the day before opening to scout and then hunt the first week. Now I am second guessing that idea because all I am picturing is a sea of orange. We are planning on doing quite a bit of hiking and have some areas planned which are roughly 5-6... -

Still Confused with Wyoming Pref. Point System
So I am trying to understand the WY PP system. I have watched Randy's video and read other information but I still have a question. If a unit requires 8 PP to have a good chance at drawing then I need to spend $30 x 8 = $240 on PP. Then I spend $286 on a tag for a total of $526. Or I can... -

1st Wyoming Antelope Hunt - Unit 16
I knew going into this public access would be difficult but I really didn't expect to only have a few county roads to use. I find it interesting how a county road is accessible for part of it but then the public hunting access to the roads ends even though the road remains county across the...
