    Tent versus Hammock

    Hammock is by far the most comfortable. You can skip the underquilt and use either a foam pad or your inflatable ground pad. Use your regular sleeping bag. I'll be tent camping on my hunt this fall but i'm still bringing the hammock for mid day naps and the rain fly in case of mid day showers

    pa tac

    If you're truck shopping, you'll probably find what you're looking for in the parking lot. Every make and model you can shake and arrow at. I call it TAC Truck-A-Thon Bring a camelbak or a couple Nalgenes. I burned through 1/2 gallon water about 3/4 way through. Snacks are user dependent. I...

    Projectile Choice: Lighter/Faster or Heavier/Slower

    I would take your max shooting distance(not max rifle range). Look at ballistics and see if the performance is acceptable and make that your bullet of choice. Generally a heavier bullet will get you there just the same as say a lighter mono bullet

    MKC Jackstone

    Got my Jackstone on Saturday.. Initial thoughts Its heavy for size, more weight in the handle than blade.I'd rather have the weight in the handle though, so its not a negative. Just an observation. It fits the hand well and the finger guard is nice so you won't accidentally slide your fingers...

    Around here, you have small windows of opportunity and sometimes small shooting windows. This isn't western hunting where you have a 1K yard unobstructed view in a lot of places.

    Montana (and other state) hunter orange laws out dated?

    If I'm in the field hunting and i see movement across the field I'm gonna assume its a deer so my immediate intent would be to destroy it if its the animal i'm looking for

    Montana (and other state) hunter orange laws out dated?

    Not everyone carries binos in addition to their rifle scope in the field. In VA we have orange requirement, so if I see movement and non orange out in front of me, I'll be checking it out with my rifle scope. I have zero reason to carry binos when I'm rifle hunting in VA.

    KIFARU ARK FRAME review

    When in "meat shelf" mode the bag does not slip over the top of the frame. you cinch your bag side straps to hold the meat up against the frame. The load lifter attach to the frame itself use the tabs that came with the frame
