Crescent Lake is extremely remote, I would not expect any amenities nearby. The Eastern side of it is designated wilderness. I would expect no phone service. I've only been there once on a scouting trip 2 years ago for Sharptail and I didn't find anything that motivated me to go back. I don't...

I'll know more in the next couple of weeks but I ran dogs out at Halsey and Valentine this past weekend and I was disappointed with the numbers I'm seeing. Valentine was the worst I've seen in the last few years. We had a pretty drastic cool front come in though and it may have moved birds to...

I personally always use canvas wall tents from Montana Canvas. Awesome company. I have a small range tent for when I'm by myself and a larger tent for when there are 3 of us. I can run my wood burning stove in colder temperatures. Also, with the bigger tents they can take wind and rain easily...
