I only buy used or discounted items. Can't think of anything I have purchased full retail in years. Usually I can get gear around 50% off if I shop around a bit on sales or classifieds.
In the market for a new set of binos. Reading countless reviews and comparisons has not helped me narrow down my decision.
I want to buy a bunch of different brands and test them for myself to determine what I want and return the rest.
Can anyone who has done this recommend a dealer or website...
Bear meat often gets a bad rap. The guys who say its gross are often the same guys who incidentally kill one while deer hunting, load it into their pickups whole and take a few victory laps around town to show it off before skinning and gutting it hours later. Its no surprise that the bear meat...
Check out "Black Bear Pursuit" on instagram or youtube.
Probably one of the most knowledgeable and involved guys when it comes to california black bear hunting
I expect a lot of the old guide light packs will start to hit the classifieds like the K3's did when Exo released new packs...
personally I can't justify spending 500+ on a new pack for some insignificant upgrades.
For the most part your gear will be the same for a 2 day hunt as it would for a 10 day hunt with the exception of food which can take up a lot of space on a long hunt.
I have a MR beartooth which is slightly larger than the metcalf. IMO the metcalf should be big enough for what you described.
Anybody on here fish winter steelhead on the Clearwater?
This is my first year trying after moving up here from Twin. Fished hard last two days in the NF with no luck. Mostly fishing a bobber and jig or bead from the bank.
Next outing I plan to make up some spawn sacks as I saw lots of other...
Law enforcement. 12 hour shifts so work about 15 days a month. The usual comp time/PTO bank which does not take long to build up.
Full retirement at age 50.
Thank you for showing would channels and describing the damage. So often are people showing pics of the bullet they recover and singing high praise about the "perfect mushroom" "bullet retention" blah blah blah...
I do not care one bit what the bullet looks like. I want to see what the bullet...
keep the back strap either whole or cut in a couple sections. marinade. and grill it like you would tri tip or on a traeger style smoker if you got one. Cook it to whatever temp you have determined to be safe for bear meat.
Reading through this thread made feel like I was reading comments on a facebook hunting group. People whining and crying about how the system is unfair and how their grand ideas to solve the tag sale issues are superior to the next.
Those of you who do want change, I encourage you contact IDFG...
I use the Slik sling with a mystery ranch but i am sure it will work on an exo.
Simple design and you can easily deploy the rifle quickly without taking the pack off and you can mount the gun while wearing the pack.
If IDFG requires lymphnode from animals harvested in the unit then I bet a lot of people steer clear of the unit in order to avoid the hassle of collecting samples.
Lots of Roads down there. Take ATV or side by side if you have one as others have mentioned the roads can be gnarly; I would honestly just try to cover lots of ground until you locate deer.
