    FAT SHAMING NEEDED.

    Download the lose it app, set a weight goal, enter your body stats. Then, log everything you put in your mouth for 3-4 weeks a and that will recalibrate your brain’s understanding of what you need to eat in a day. Also, exercise, but don’t let the app offset calories for that and if you stay on...

    My first kill with the SEVR 2.0

    Same experience as above. Shot two whitetail with the 2.1 last year, double lung pass through shots on both. 28 and 45 yard shots.

    Just need one more of those; honest..I can quit anytime.

    IPAs and Glocks. Seriously, it is like my mind can’t grasp the infinite configurations of each. I have recently taken to having slides milled for various optics (Vortex, Leupold, Trijicon). JagerWerks in Michigan is awesome for custom slide work by the way...

    Under Armour Hiking Shoes for Elk Hunt - Talk me out of it

    Other thing I will add, if you go the hiking shoe route, pack gaiters to keep you dry. I agree with the comments about trying it with a load/sidehilling first. I did all that and have enjoyed them for the last few hunts.

    Under Armour Hiking Shoes for Elk Hunt - Talk me out of it

    I hunt with Under Armour hiking shoes in Colorado in August/September and just pack heavier boots to keep in the truck if there is early snow in the forecast. My feet thank me every year.

    Starter equipment list for a new bow hunter

    I also should add, you don't need a 1000 yard rangefinder to start bowhunting. That can lower the entry price quite a bit.

    Starter equipment list for a new bow hunter

    Focus on finding a great couple of spots and then choose equipment based around the best opportunities. One piece of equipment you must use hunting from an elevated stand is a harness. Spinal cord injuries or serious fractures are one misstep or cheap strap away. Don't skimp on your life...

    Rookie hunting guide

    I am a self guided big-game and bird hunter, but I have done a ton of guided trout fishing trips, and the best guides teach without being intrusive. They don't say, "the way you should do X is by doing Z". They ask questions in anticipation of common scenarios as a way to feel out the client's...

    Best beer in your state

    Love Urban Chestnut, it’s just too far for me to go regularly as a Westsider to make my top 3. Crown Valley in Ste. Genevieve, Tin Mill in Hermann, and Public House in St. James are awesome too.

    Memorable lines from grandpas

    Loving this thread. Mine died in 2013 and I think about stuff he said all the time. "He is so tight he can squeeze a nickel hard enough to turn it into a quarter". "I'd rather have 40 acres of rattlesnakes than [fill in the blank]". (Usually something to do with farming cotton) "That boy is...
