    Bear Bows

    Persist shooter here. It’s a little heavier than some of the higher end flagships but after a few months I don’t notice it anymore. I’ve been happy and am itching to take my first whitetail with it in the next few weeks.

    Water Filters

    Another Katadyn gravity system fan here. Specifically the BeFree 6L Microfilter. Bigger than I need? Probably, but the larger size seemed to be made from a more durable material and more volume equals fewer trips to water sources (i.e. more time hunting and/or resting, less chance of needing to...

    Meat Care Equipment Priorities

    Good tip on the 2x4. I hammered a spare piece of rebar into a make shift gambrel in a pinch last year but I’d like to refine my DIY design this off season. I’ll have to search old threads for inspiration on that.

I appreciate the no nonsense/non consumerist approach and recommendation to buy well when you do make a purchase. I’ve ground 3 deer with a hand-me-down Kitchen-Aid grinder attachment and can get...

    FNG from West MI

    First time poster from West MI. I found the forum a few months back and have really appreciated the wealth of knowledge, perspectives, and supportiveness I’ve seen here. Lifelong angler. I caught the archery bug a few years back and am coming up on my 4th year of chasing deer and turkey...
