    Bergara Ridge Carbon Wilderness or Browning X-Bolt Speed SR

    I'm almost ready to purchase my first rifle of my own. A little background: I've been hunting for 2 decades with rifles I inherited from family. Some great guns, all sentimental and all babied. Last year I went on my first rifle mule deer hunt and absolutely loved it. After bowhunting hard for...

    Help me move on from Lumenoks

    I’ve had really good luck with nokturnals so far. I’ve heard great things about the firenocks but haven’t had enough reason to switch yet.

    2022 Success Story

    Since I’m not going to be out west chasing big game this year and I have a bunch of time to kill today, I figured I would share the story of my first mule deer hunt last year. I was encouraged by my cousin to put in for a 3rd rifle mule deer hunt at the beginning of 2022. He hyped up the hunt...

    Cutthroat broadhead?

    I shoot the 3 blade. Killed a pig with it so far. As far as the broad head goes, it’s made of high quality steel. The pig I shot went about 15 yards at the max. It was impressive. The difference in cost is due to the materials used. A cutthroat can be resharpened and reused on many animals...

    Third season Colorado

    We saw one last year during 3rd rifle. Snow wasn’t heavy yet at that point and it was much less than a typical year. Not sure if that affects den timing or not.

    Idahoans do not like out-of-state hunters

    Everyone has interactions like this from time to time if you travel/hunt enough. Sometimes it’s from locals, sometimes it’s from law enforcement, sometimes it’s from other NR’s. That’s just life and people. I usually get treated very well out of state but I try to be incredibly respectful and...

    2023 Broadhead Recommendations

    I’m currently experimenting with RMS Cutthroats, QAD Exodus and Magnus Stingers. So far the cutthroat is the only head I’ve shot through a game animal. Shot a pig at 28 yards and it went about 10-15 yards. I was very impressed. Shoot whatever you’re confident in that flies well and performs in...

    Most expensive thing you lost while hunting

    Cheap rangefinder is the only thing that comes to mind off the top of my head but I know there’s more. Had been bow hunting whitetails a handful of times then left for work out of town for a month. Came back and started gathering up all the gear for a mule deer hunt and the rangefinder was...

    What are the top factors determining where you live?

    Wife and her family for me. They're all in the same town as us just a few minutes down the road. Massive help with childcare. Great people. Not sure if we'll ever move but the mountains definitely draw me. There's a ton of outdoor opportunity close to me so that keeps the nomad feeling a bit at...

    Lite outdoors stove hacks

    Yep, I noticed it watching the instructional video. The new springs are just right and very easy to put on. Also, I recommend wearing gloves at all times. Soon as I took them off for a second to have a little more dexterity I cut my thumb open.

    Lite outdoors stove hacks

    Taking it down the first wasn’t bad but took about 30 minutes in total. Getting the pipe, body, and damper rolled up together took a few tries to get right.

    Lite outdoors stove hacks

    Got the stove in yesterday and burning it in today. Initial setup of the stove body wasn’t bad. Damper was a little tougher but not horrible. Burning in the stove body now as I saw someone recommend burning it in before the pipe to help prevent denting it where the two come together.

    Ever Used Your Sidearm While Hunting?

    Killed my first pig ever charging me at point blank with my sidearm. First CO hunt was hiking out after dark and had a mountain lion stalking me down the mountain. Drew my pistol but after some yelling at him he went on.

    Older Tacoma or Frontier? Help me choose.

    My daily driver is a 2015 Tacoma. Can’t say enough about this truck. The thing is a tank. I treat it like a 4 wheeler and take it all over the place. Never got it stuck either and buddy have I buried it in some holes.
