I have a BA but graduated in 1979. It was my dream to go into wildlife management. I went to school about as ill prepared as anybody could be, going into science. i probably wouldn't have even got...

Each national forest district seem to have their own maps they make available, not all Districts are the same. I have gotten paper maps from them that showed information that no other maps had. For...

Found a bunch on the farm years ago, small plants, but when I called the sheriff, he questioned me like they were mine. I was a little miffed. It's an uneasy feeling, thinking you are somewhere you...

We flew into Bozeman last year, drove to Idaho and was setting up camp by 1:30. Got a new Dodge, 4 door 4x4 pick up. It was a true 4x4 truck and was in good condition. It was $532 a week which isn't...

Thanks, I'll be sure to have a detailed USFS or BLM map. Not that I'm going there, I just wondered what the deal was.

I hunted antelope in eastern Wyoming, with an outfitter. They dropped me off at the blind, at a water hole. I had my gps with me, keeping my tracks, and when I got home, it said that where we were it...

I now have 8 PP, was actually hoping for my 2nd and third choice this year.

I got mine form a local outfitter store. It stay in my emergency kit, weighs next to nothing. Never use it except emergencies. But for regular use you should try the Sawyer bottle filter. You can...

I have the Eberlestock Blue Widow and it works and fits great. It will handle quarters as it expands out to a full size pack. I have a "very" long torso, I tried to fit according to their directions...

Thanks for the replies. Been looking and writing trying to find interested packers. Not much luck. Guess I can't blame them if they have other higher paying clients or those who want drop camps. NM...

Great pack. Like Fink said, get the spike camp duffel. I pack it into the camp and and pull it out of the pack, toss it in my tent, and have an instant day pack. I often wonder how guys deal with a...

We were giving 16B/22 as our first choice. The above is what I read before, but the outfit I was in contact with didn't think it was so or just wasn't interested in doing it. I'll have to check...

I heard if you had contact with a packer or outfitter for two days, that would qualify as an outfitted hunt in New Mexico. I've been in touch with a outfitter who does drop camps encase I am...

Just a heads up, last year there was no archery hunting in 38 unless you had a type 9 license. Pretty sure. I about applied for unit 40 type 1 special wanting to archery hunt early, odds were 75%...

I believe huntinggpsmaps.com offers a free version for your computer, and you have to pay to get it to transfer to your GPS, which is nice. Check the gpsfiledepot.com. Look for the editors choice or...

That's what i did two years ago. Had to buy a license last year. Will try it again this year, nice savings. I would think they would catch on and change it, so keep an eye open for changes. Huntin...

Check out GPSFILEDEPOT.com. The Idaho Topo map has them. You can load it onto Garmin GPS's and look at it on their basecamp software. There are a few others that are free at the site, and some you...

I have the Garmin Rino 655T, and used it in Idaho this past fall and loved it. It is basically like the Montana, but has a smaller touch screen as a trade off for the radio features of the Rino. I...

Have the Viper 10x42 They have served me well. When my buddy looks through them he is impressed. I have issues with their eye cups. They tend to twist or cross thread all the time and the rubber is...

I like them a lot or similar type products. Only have one Under Armour brand. Wife goes to the thrift store and bring the stuff home. It really helps keep you warm. I have started wearing it to work...

I hate the face creams, and found some activated charcoal powder that I liked a lot better. Simple water took it off, but at the end of the day it was still on if you wanted it to be. It did open up...

ND Hunter is right, you just bought the points, not the tag. It's a lot of money to plunk down if you never draw. What else can you do if you want to hunt. Landowner tags would probably be cheaper if...

I too have the Cabelas 1 hp. It works great and I use the sausage and Pattie makers too. Easy to clean. Foot pedal would be helpful, I have an old foot pedal from a sewing machine I plan to adapt...

I have max points in Wyoming, but still a little confused as to how things go down.

I understand the split of NR to resident, and max points and No points etc, regular tag to special tag...But I'm...

I guess if there is running water and it's not too cold, you could place the jug or water bottle in the running water or creek. If it's really cold it would freeze in a hurry once you got it out....
