    Gatlinburg vacation

    The smokeys is the most visited NP every year for the last 10. 13mil + people. It's crowded. You need additional parking passes just to park, and there's very limited parking spots. Gatlinburg is ehh, you can sample some moonshine and walk around the salt and pepper shaker museum. Lots of good...

    Unpopular opinions

    I cant tell if you are agreeing or not? Not sure where 'Chris bee' stands on FOC. Did he use a light weight arrow or heavy arrow and wound a buffalo? So i will explain my thoughts a little more, for either agreeing or not with me. I think FOC is one piece of the pie. Example: a prius (350gn...

    Unpopular opinions

    My biggest problem is people FOCus on FOC because it's measurable. Literally setup 1 : "use quality components" and step 2 : "have good arrow flight"

    I have painted my duck gun due to hunting salt marshes and using it as a boat paddle. Paint and an hard epoxy clear coat has held up as well as any cerakote has for me.

    PA Elk Non-Res draw changes

    As a NJ coast resident , that's 10 hours closer than me. Wyo border is 26 hours, I'd go every year if it was 16. I can do that in a day, 26 takes much more out of me. I was always 50/50 on hunting pa or not, but looks like ill be hunting it every year now.

    Best backpack for whitetail hunting

    I ditched the backpack years ago. It just made me carry more shit I don't need and was a paint to have a mobile setup on my back. My kit is modified a bit from below, but it gets the gist of it. "Below is a list of the things that I carry in my pack at all times or what I call “essentials”...

    Muzzleloader Mule deer

    +/-1 for SST. I wish i had your experience with SST's. Mine has ruined trips and made nightmares. Maybe 300gn SST MZ are different from 300gn Sabot slugs?

First time doing it in sunlight in a while. Cut it and it’s pink then right away some color pops Passes the sniff test. It’s being ground...
