    People who have successfully been granted permission to hunt a strangers land, how did you do it?

    Never wear camo when going to knock on the door. I always do it after work wearing my office clothes, truck stays clean, etc. Be up front about how you hunt and offer them a piece of the pie. All of my landowners get venison at the end of the year. One wants a full deer so the first doe I shoot...

    How is Cabela's Still in Business?

    Scheels gets my business now just based on customer service/help in store. Had a guy work with me on boot fitting for about 45 minutes and very knowledgeable. Was even wearing the boots I was going in there to look at. Signed up for the credit card got $70 in store credit just for signing up. No...

    Antelope buck gores doe?

    I think it's possible I watched two yearling bucks Saturday morning chasing a doe so hard they were head butting her on either side and almost knocking her off her feet in a dead sprint. She was bleating and running for her life. When she stopped running their momentum would continue into her. I...

    Kuiu clothing choices for stand hunting

    It sounds like I hunt the same way. Depending on the stand and how thick the cover is getting in, I will wear the First lite corrugate jacket and softshell pants walking in over my baselayers/midlayers if there's a lot of briars and branches that could snag. The 240 isn't terrible but mine does...

    First OTC Elk Hunt Failure

    I was in the same boat three years ago in Colorado with a buddy and hiking in with 55 pounds on my back made me realize how out of shape I really was. I ruck hiked several days a week after work for a couple months but when you get out of the truck at the trailhead you realize how steep it...

    Kuiu clothing choices for stand hunting

    Peloton 97 top and bottoms and sometimes the 240 are the only Kuiu pieces I wear in a tree stand. And those are for walking in then Fanatic Hoody and heavy windproof jacket over that and bibs that I pack in. Wind resistance is key for me and Kuiu doesn't cut it for me in that department. The 240...

    What’s the more versatile setup?

    If active I have a really similar setup and use a wick SS, the 97 over that and then depending on wind/terrain use the 240 or a softshell over that if brush busting. Puffy in the pack in case and rain shell for over all of that if needed. If in the backcountry the 240 does not come with as the...

    Kuiu Strongfleece 280

    So I have both the Strongfleece 210 and the fanatic hoodie and tried to replace the fanatic with the SF. It was not near as warm as the Fanatic so that piece will stay as my treestand midlayer and can’t really think of a warmer grid fleece honestly. Can’t speak for the SF 280 but if it’s...

    Non toxic shotgun shells

    I have played around with every kind of non-toxic shot shell from different brands and sizes for several years and none of it really mattered until I improved my choke tubes and pattern. Once I dialed that in I no longer had cripples anymore. Shot cheap Dryloks 3" #3's all season last year at...

    Southeast Outer Layer: Klamath?

    I have a corrugate jacket and it is a little loud and is just okay in wind but enough to take the chill off. Mostly wear it just to protect my baselayers and for brush busting. I was between the Klamath and the Kuiu Peloton 240 and went with the 240 which I love. Cuts the wind really well and...

    Helping New Hunters

    I currently have 4 people at work, a family friend's 12 year old kid, and my buddy's wife wanting to get into hunting. I have asked all of them why they want to get into it and what they want out of hunting and then compared them to my own morals and beliefs. The ones that closest align to mine...

    SD Archery

    Yes either apply and wait for the tag to come in the mail or do it all right there at the store. Learned that the hard way after we applied the week we were leaving then thought we could go into an office and get it printed out there. Turned into a 4 hour fiasco of calling a game warden who had...

    New to ducks

    If you are hunting small water and generally only see small groups of ducks on those bodies of water then a small decoy set is all you need. It looks unnatural if you go into those areas and throw out 6 dozen decoys. Motion is key IMO so throw out one Mojo and run a jerk rig. I kill plenty of...

    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    Newbie to buying and selling calls. Do you guys swing trade those like stock? Dipped my toes into a couple $6 07/16 CDEV calls a couple weeks ago which are doing great right now but they seem to move up and down pretty quickly. Do you guys sell them on good days and rebuy when they come back...

    Bamboo failure or Personal Problem?

    That could be possible I wasn’t exerting myself at all. Might have to try that on a ruck hike this weekend and I’ll report back. If it’s too warm I’ll stick with my First Lite wick stuff then for physical activity. Only trying bamboo because it is cheaper and I feel bad putting my expensive...

    Bamboo failure or Personal Problem?

    I had the opposite experience. Just received a lightweight bamboo hoody last week and wore it fishing Saturday. Temp was about mid 80's and sunny but probably not as humid as down by you (Midwest). Also didn't wash it and thought it performed just as well as my Columbia PFG shirts. Already...
