Have off Sept 3rd-27th, so almost all of archery. Took off 21 days last year, but filled my tag on day 17, then stayed a few extra days to help two guys I met on the mountain fill their tag. If it wasn't for time off being so easy to come by, I would have got out of the oilfield a while ago.
Call me crazy, but I think technology hasn't done anything but make everything worse. When everyone and any info is accessible, there's going to come problems with it. Before technology, if you're were just stupid, that was it, no hope for you. Now even fellas who don't know their left from...
To say ruined is a bit of an exaggeration, but it has definitely increased crowding, made tags harder to come by, burned spots, increased questionable ethics, etc. Ruined, no. Watered down and diluted, yes. I'm fine without upping my game as I hunt undesirable places with less pressure and...
Everyone who has said something similar to this has watched a YouTube video related to hunting. It's not part of my daily regimen, but I do watch some every now and then. As someone who doesn't live in Elk country, it has helped to find elk consistently over the years. Why put myself at a...
I don't think it's just locals that can find something on Onx shown for a short amount of time. Just knowing the geography of the area, the color of BLM vs national forest, and a .5 mile section of river that was shown was more than plenty for me to find the exact point when I live 15 hours away...
I messaged the guy to let him know as not to ruin the spot for others who hunt the same area. I personally won't be going there, but I will keep the pin for research purposes.
As I was scrolling through YouTube yesterday, I saw a newer video from one of the more popular youtubers hunting in an OTC Unit. One part of the video had a quick glimpse of their OnX as they were showing their position relative to one of the many different groups of bulls they found. Maybe 3...
My advice? Do the opposite of most the things you hear on YouTube and podcasts. Some of it about thermals, food sources, calling, etc is sometimes good info. But remember there are about 300,000 other guys going to be listening to the same advice and hunting the same areas. Think outside of the...
You can make some dang good food on a flat top, but the cleanup and upkeep is a pain in the rear end. Once you buy one, chicken fried rice and smash burgers will be the stable of your diet.
But on another note, it makes breakfast a breeze. If you already have a smoker and charcoal, a flat top...
I hate to be that guy, but anyone having an impact on natural resources should have to pay for said resources. Everything effects game populations, but hunters are the only ones footing the bill. If everyone who enjoyed nature actually paid for nature, populations in the west would be a...
I've gotten some absolutely killer deals on here, and just a few months ago I had no qualms about it. Just picked up a pair of 8x42 razor uhd's for a killer deal and dude was a great guy. Could have easily gone the other way though. I'm thoroughly vetting anyone I buy from anymore. Never seen...
