For those who are worried about pressure, how could one tin can hold and then transfer enough pressure to make the other explode? No way. There’s just no physical way. No pump mechanism, no added pressure, just gravity and available space. There won’t be any more pressure than was in the cans to...
IF all other things were equal, the best bet would be to join all the ones you’re interested in. Get a bunch of magazines, swag, boost membership numbers for many groups, learn about the ones you’re less familiar with, get volunteer opportunities, network. So, $15 here, $20 there for...
Too many eggs in one basket for me. Too many tweakers and degens in Washington state. I try not to bring anything valuable that I need to leave in the rig.
I bring my BOG PCR ball head with trigger handle. It weighs a shitload but it’s really nice to glass with. I’m also experimenting with an airplane neck pillow as a seat/pillow/gun rest option. I heard Joseph Von Benedict say he used a gun rest as a pillow and immediately thought about my beloved...
There is a slight difference in weight since the practice heads are solid with no cut in the tip for the inner blades. You’re absolutely right about tightening the set screw. I did that to compare points of impact once. It was close enough that I just use the practice ones now. Also, the...
I’m no expert here, but I spend a ton of time at the bow range and only get one deer tag per year. I have shot both fixed and mechanical for hunting. Without a big backyard or a nice private shooting spot, it’s a huge pain in the ass to tune fixed blades to hit with field points since ranges...
Thanks for the advice. I live right on the edge of Rio territory, so they’re the closest for me. I also hunt deer in Myriams territory. Shot my first Miriam last year. If you ever want to trade hunts or intel, I’d love to start working on figuring the Easterns out.
What do you think is the best order to go about it? You think it’s best to try for an Eastern first because they’re the hardest, or start with a rio to get the momentum going, start at home and travel out, vise versa, or is there another factor that’s more important?
Lots of people and lots of deer. I hunted low country near home due to time constraints. Mule deer disappeared from an area where they used to be mixed in with white tail. The white tails seemed to have above average antler growth. Tons of weird antlers and crab forks. Lots of one year old legal...
Neoprene waders with tight belt, camo life vest and a fishing pole with dull treble hook and a bobber. Lots of folks do this. A kayak is a great investment as it kind of does the work of a boat and a dog if you’re brave and willing to paddle. Float tube is another good option because you can get...
Biggest standout item for me is the Browning wicked wings smoothbore hoodie. The one with a kangaroo pocket and upper chest pocket that goes all the way across. I wear it all the time but it really shines during early archery. Keeps me warm, breathes well, dries fast. Super sleek and quiet. And...
