    Calf/achilles pain

    I really increased my stretching this year, once my Achilles pain started, but it’s not like I wasn’t stretching before that! I have used the same style of boots/shoes for years now. I can run 3 miles 5 days a week with no issue, but a few miles with boots on and I start to get sore. Has been...

    Calf/achilles pain

    Has anyone experienced sore/tight calves or developed Achilles pain from boots? If so what has helped you? I prefer the fit of taller boots (have issues with heal slip in shorter boots). Two years ago I noticed my calves would get tight when wearing my lace up hunting boots. Not a huge problem...

    Why cant people accept the fact that some people dont need a drop tested scope?

    I provided info earlier in the thread with a photo demonstrating how a scope loses zero, but can return while shooting. I also provided info on where a zero shift caused issues in the field, but the animal was recovered. So yes you can use a scope that doesn’t hold zero 100% of the time and kill...

    Why cant people accept the fact that some people dont need a drop tested scope?

    Here is an example. First shot low, then magically zeroed again for the next 9 shots. I have randomly experienced this my entire life (pre-drop test info). Hopefully this issue is resolved now! To the ones arguing you don’t need a perfect zero to kill something. You are correct, my first scope...

    Tripod or No Tripod?

    Tripod at night with an arca clamp. Daytime I’m using bipod in a seated position.

    Nissan Titan PRO-4X

    I have had a Titan for a while now (2010). I got it for super cheap because the previous owner was tired of repair bills. To me it is like dodge and Toyota got together and built a truck. Mine is older so I don’t know if they have addressed any of the issues or not. But when comparing it to my...

    Daytime raccoon calling

    Great advice above! Around here big cotton woods by water and corn are a safe bet. High creek banks with dens also work. Nice days in late Jan/Feb is when I go. I sit with the caller and tree within shotgun range. Sometimes they will come out but run away from the caller. It’s a good time...

    Red light vs Thermal Setups

    Depends on how light it is! Full moon and snow, try to stay in shadows by cover. Most nights you can set up about anywhere, just make sure you aren’t sky-lined. Don’t think I have ever been busted by them seeing me at night. Usually its sound that make them nervous (crunching ice/clanking gear).

    Rx7 or Rx7 Ultra?

    To me it looks like you have your head tipped down (chin tucked) and in (face not flat to string). That would mean peep is too low and DL too short. Front arm looks fine. I would focus on getting draw length dialed in (don’t use a peep) at first, focus on getting to anchor with head up/straight...

    Rx7 or Rx7 Ultra?

    Looks short for me, shorten release length and try 29.5”. Dloop length changes to dial it in. String angle/draw cycle on rx7 will be much better. ATA might be an issue due to draw length. I’m a shorty, so I can’t comment.

    New Hornady bullet

    Great question, but if you shoot enough you figure it out. Vmax at lower velocities and quartering shots is a great recipe for runners and has been known for a long time.

    Ultra sonic

    Steep price for sure! I read some info on this a few years ago and assumed the project died.

    The suppressor advantage for coyotes

    These are major factors. I will also add caller volume. Loud pup distress or vocals why you are shooting helps also. They will still spook at supressed shots. But just like shooting unsupressed, if they didn’t quite hear the shot or pin point the direction, they will keep coming or pause to get...

    Keep us posted! What gun will you be using them in?

    Icotec

    It’s been a few years but we used the cheapest iotech model for a couple of days. The remote was very impressive. I would say that model quality wise was on par with cheapest foxpro. I would research too make sure your file type for your custom sounds will transfer. I believe they are set up...

    manage your remote

    In the day time I secure my remote to a belt loop. I have a normal lanyard on it. It sits on my lap or next to me within reach where I can easily read the screen. Put it in my pants pocket when walking. Hand calls around my neck. Pro tip, if you use foxpro. On the lowest fox bang setting, it...

    Thoughts on age?

    Post some pre-rut pics if you want a more accurate age estimate. Better yet pics with him next to other bucks.

    Infrared Scope ve Red Light

    Thermals/NV are difficult to judge distance with when you first start out (it’s also hard to judge distance using a light). Some of the digital night vision scopes and thermal scopes now come with range finders. I would say a majority of people use thermal scanners and scopes now. Digital...

    Infrared Scope ve Red Light

    Where legal most people now use thermal imaging scopes. The digital nightvision scopes that use infrared lights are a cheaper option. Using either will not spook game like lights do. Thermals can detect game at much further distances than either NV or a light.

    Infection beyond anything I’ve seen

    I shot a buck that was like that. I cleaned it up and found an abscess that had ruptured on his liver. Basically his entire body cavity behind the diaphragm was full and was spreading to his hips. His appearance was normal and he was chasing doe that day.
