    8 REASONS WHY I INVEST IN QUALITY HUNTING CLOTHING

    Buy once, cry once applies to more than just quality optics. I have a garage and several closets full of "good enough" or "I normally wouldn't have purchased it but got a great deal on it" gear and clothing that I eventually replaced with high quality items that make my hunting much more...

    Keeping Mice Out Of Your Blind

    Lots of good suggestions already given, but another tip is to not put poison mouse baits and bait stations inside the blind to get rid of the mice. The bait is an attractant and can actually increase the number of mice that "discover" your blind. I have had better luck placing them outside...

    Aging low and mid back.

    It also helps if you know exactly what your back problem is. I fought chronic lower back pain and bulging discs for years before I had an MRI and found out that I had spondylolisthesis (one of the lower vertebrae slips forward onto the bone below it) in my lumbar region. Once I found out the...

    Best Trail Cam for $70 or Less?

    This is an old thread, but I thought that I would share my experience on cheap game cameras. I recently purchased 2 Oudmon trail cameras from Amazon in search of a "cheaper" alternative to the name brand cameras. The price was great at under $50, the pictures were really sharp, and the cameras...

    👻💩💀 Meopta Meostar 1.7-10x42 opinions???

    I would agree with the Doug's post. I have a Meostar R1 with an illuminated red dot on my feral hog hunting rifle and have been very pleased with it. It is very nice glass and does well in low light. I have had no issues with the scope (5-6 years old) and it has held zero very well. I have...
