    unit 32

    I hear if you pay a couple different guides/outfitters plenty of cheese ... they will get you into the vast majority of the unit most hunters are locked out of and open the whole world to you .... I am sure there are plenty of quality and numbers in 32 but access for the DIY free hunter types is a Joke and from what I hear it is far worse than it was 10 years ago... It is a prime example of a few screwing it up for the majority .. The small percent who trashed private lands and the few individuals who secured decent access through locked gates... It is about time for the state to start getting access back and work out deals with land owners to ensure all of us get equal access to OUR public LAND

    How do you lock up your Ice chest/coolers???

    Never locked up a cooler in all the years camping and hunting ... even down south by the border ... never had a thing taken ... KNOCKING ON WOOD !

    Found Pistol

    I understand the idea of people feeling they are doing the right thing finding the owner when presuming something is lost ... But why in anybody's right mind would you not call the police when you find a handgun off the side of the road... Sometimes best intentions are butt backwards and a gun along side the road could possibly be a gun used in a crime tossed out the window of a moving car.... I say let it be .. call the authorities and then share that it was found and let people know where they can find it...

    36B North/Northeast Parts

    He is trying to keep it more 1 on 1 which is respectful.... 36B has plenty of good bucks all over that Unit ... So I never have an issue helping out a fellow hunter who may not have as much knowledge down in that Unit ... heck the cat is already out of the bag on the leftovers so I do not think I will be going down quiet as much as in years past... lots of good areas and easy to get away from the masses down there .

    Roosevelt Lake looks like a pond

    Keep in mind that in the last 7 years all three lower lakes have been dropped to certain low levels while working on various projects .... Roosevelt is down and if this El Nino winter is anything like they say may come it will fill up pretty quick... I think it shows a complete waste of money on the improvements and ramps put in at windy hill since there has only been 2 years that I know of that they were all able to be used. I preferred the days of camping on the shore and keeping the boat in the water

    How many use scent lock/blocker clothing?

    down south .. strip some creosote leaves ... boil them down ... seep, bottle and spray .... bugs tend to stay away too

    164 7/8" Coues

    I was thinking the same thing... The first Pics I seen only had the Cuernos watermark ... now they all have A3 as well. I personally feel it takes away from the hunter buy I guess they put themselves in that position. Would be great to hear the Hunters story and by name the individuals that helped him .... Versus seeing a poster child for A3

    Furthest south you have seen elk?

    I never seen them, but fishing down at Phon D Sutton had an old timer staying there in his RV, claim he had watched a small herd watering in the river for the last week... I thought maybe wild horses and he needed new glasses, but I think it could be possible

    rut timing

    The big guys are smart ... eating and saving their energy ... let the smaller guys wrangle up the cows and then as they get ready to ripen swoop in and chase the others off.... should be interesting to see how well the early rifle guys do versus the upcoming archery.

    rut timing

    Still think we are looking at the last week of Sept for the Rut to really start kicking into gear most places.... and that is if night temps keep cooling and no Heat Waves come pushing through...

    Need a Bow for my Elk Hunt

    You just need to get you some of those exploding arrowheads the good ole Duke boys used ... combined with that bow, they should give you a little bit of relief on your aim. Oh yeah... And make you a CD loop of the intro to Jay's podcasts and crank up the truck speakers ... they will come running at you , you just need to be ready

    Using a heater in tent...

    What are you clearing up .. All the current Mr. heater Buddy models have the ODS and the only ones not indoor safe are the Massachusetts/Canada models ... and no one said that a portable co2 detector is not a bad idea or to seal up your tent air tight ... again what are you clearing up ?

    Anybody use a Thermacell for bugs?

    crazy out of 3 never had a one not work in 3c ... and always used Thermacell cartridges ....

    Using a heater in tent...

    As for using it in the kodiak, do you keep the vent on top of the tent open or a window slightly open?? Always keep the windows slightly vented at the top ... Like a little fresh air mixing through the night and once in my bag I am comfortable down below freezing anyway ... Dec. 3c with the bigger heater buddy, in the 12x9 kodiak cabin tent, it would take about 30-40 mins to get the temp nice and warm in the whole tent for crawling out of the bags

    Using a heater in tent...

    Heater Buddy's have an Oxygen Depletion Sensor , and Auto Off, if Knocked over.. work great in the kodiak . As stated if you want added piece of mind get a small battery powered low co2 alarm ... We use them to warm up before getting in the sacks and then turning on about an hour before wake up to warm tent in morning ...On a few occasions in real cold and hooked to a 5 gallon we have run them all night, never an issue. I only wish they would add an electric ignite with a timer So I do not have to wake an hour before others to ignite it... One can only Dream

    Sick of hearing about you missing

    +1 I've never wounded a dove in my life. Or missed a dove, because he's against that too. No! when he misses it is intentional
