I have archery hunted exclusively since 2000. After hunting out west several times and learning about the OTC and easy to draw tags in rifle seasons I bought a rifle. I do not collect guns, every one I have serves a purpose. So I wanted a very good rifle and a do all caliber. After reading a...
I think a lot of people that are planning their first hunt could use this information. I thought I would post this because after taking several trips out west (I am from Georgia) I get a lot of questions from guys planning to come out for the first time. After talking with them I find there is a...
I bought what I thought was state of the art in 2012 for back pack hunting. I bought the OR Advanced bivy 2.5 pounds and a REI 20 degree radiant sleeping bag which runs right at 3.5 pounds. Then I have an Alpine Hikers Dome tent that hit the scale at 4.5 pounds. Add to that my sleeping pad and I...
It looks like there are "exotics" on public land in Texas. Everything from blackbuck to Barbary rams. Has anyone here done any public land hunting in Texas for any of the exotic animals there. I'd like to go out and hunt for barbary sheep.
Google hasn't provided an answer. All I can find is outfitters selling elk hunts in Texas. I know that elk are considered "exotic" in Texas which means they would be pretty cheap to hunt of there are any on public lands. I also was trying to look to see if there are any public areas you can hunt...
I have a pair of Scarpa Charmoz that I love. The problem is that they are too narrow in the toe box. They have a lot of features and the wear has been awesome. I have used them for two years hoping that they just needed more break in. But, I am just not going to be able to use them because of...
I have hunted elk in 68 in the early season archery twice. I got very close the second time. I have a pretty good lay of the land of the far west end of 68. After hunting the west three times with a bow I made a decision. One that is big for me at least. After not killing a mammal with a firearm...

So I know I am asking this a little late because I've already purchased it but..... I bought a whole set up light, med, heavy and rain proof Badlands camo. It seems to be excellent quality. But any of you guys that are hunting the mountains regularly already using BL and what do you think...
Hello all, I am 44 years old and live in North East Georgia. I have been out west hunting 3 times so far and although I have not harvested my first western animal all three of my trips have taught me a great deal about hunting out there. I am planning to come back out in the fall of 2019. I work...
