That is an awesome story. The Eastman's are good people for sure. I haven't had any contact with Guy directly, but Ike has helped me out a ton on two separate assignments for my undergraduate degree,...

For hunts from the truck, I use a Badlands 2200 as my day pack, with my Badlands OX and Cabela's frame pack at the truck for meat hauling. This spring and fall I'll be using the Badlands OX as my...

I have the First Lite base layers, and I love them. Try to shop around, especially this time of year and get a good deal on last year's models. I did that and was able to get the long sleeve shirt...

Nice. I remember reading something that had me thinking there were more than there are.

Thanks IdahoHombre. As long as I don't have grizzlies coming into cow calls all the time should be ok.

I'm thinking about going to Idaho for a bow hunt in September if my elk hunting in Wyoming works out. I was looking at either the Pallisades, Bannock, or Bear River areas. I was wondering if there...

It contains IGF-1 which is why it's banned. I haven't seen anything that shows deer IGF-1 working on humans.

I used Scent-Away laundry detergent. I bet the baking soda woulda been way cheaper ha

You're welcome. It also helps if you can fit a clothes drying stand in the bathtub to hang the pack from and have it dry in the bathtub

Take everything out and open all the pockets, fill up a bathtub with warm water and some unscented laundry detergent, then let the pack soak for a while. After soaking you can scrub any of the stains...

Congrats, nice buck

The rule probably is about protecting the outfitters, and it probably won't change. Some of the outfitters have been hunting their area for decades. That being said you can still find back country...

I agree with Grizz on many things. The younger generations are far more illiterate than previous generations, with social media, internet and texting. Kids also have video games, games on their...

See I like the mountains around Laramie more than Laramie itself, but I do see the campus everyday. I have found a few places to go but I left my hunting stuff at my parents house after an antelope...

Thanks crumy. In 09 I spent 2 days out during the general deer rifle season and it was pretty populated with people out there. I was looking more for the archery season. I've looked at Google Earth...

I'll be out there

I haven't Don. I know that 104 elk are pretty hard to hunt, with a lot of roads and access in the area. The elk are there but they also know where they are safe there, and as soon as the lead starts...

I just hope we have the elk to support this. It would be really upsetting if everyone could get three elk tags just because the G&F needs money, and not because we really have that many elk.

Ya Force of Nature is awesome. I got it downloaded on the kindle when it came out and read it in a few hours. I think every book Box gets better.

I've been doing a lot of lifting and trying to turn lifting into cardio. I can't do the distance running like some of you guys. But I did four weeks where I'd do a squat/deadlift supersetted with a...

I agree, great books. How far through the series have you got Colorado?

Thanks for the info. I guess I should have read up on the regs a little bit better, I am a resident and will have the General OTC elk and deer tags, and I thought that the areas were generals down...

I'm gonna be in Laramie at UW this fall, looking for any advice on where I can go bow hunt for mule deer and elk. Not looking for anybody's honey hole, just a few general ideas of places I could go...

I can't comment on the NR tag situation as I am a resident, but I agree with liking to be able to go out with a rifle after the bow season, and I agree with Justin that something needs to be done...

Nice buck nvarcher
