    UPS Strike

    It will be bad if the strike happens. FEDEX & USPS have both already stated that they cannot handle the volumes. It will be a mess and will impact nearly everyone to some degree.

    CO archery elk

    Where I hunt the elk and cattle live together and interact every day. I have never seen elk act negatively towards cattle. I have seen beef calves attempt to play with elk calves near water. I did see a 5 pt bull threaten a beef cow with his antlers one time. Most times the cattle can pick you...

    Trouble Duck Calling (Please Help LOL)

    It's similar to learning to use a turkey diaphragm call. Takes hours of practice. You just have to moving it around and using different blowing techniques until you find the right way. Like someone said earlier, keep it in your vehicle and practice while you are driving. I have the same call...

    Most fun bird to hunt?

    Hunting mallards in standing timber at home in Virginia is tons of fun if we have enough ducks to hunt which is rare these days. I would love to go to the South Dakota and do a waterfowl/pheasant combo hunt one day. I have hunted ducks/geese in fields in Kansas and that was pretty awesome as well.

    What ATV should I buy?

    Honda. We have had several and they have all been bulletproof. Just change oil once a decade and you are good to go. My dad decided to buy a pair of 4 wheelers and didn't ask anyone what he should buy. He came home with 2 brand new Polaris machines (15 years ago). These are the most unreliable...

    Best lightweight hooded fishing shirt for sun protection

    Thanks for all the replies. I ended up buying a Pelagic hoodie. It is ultralight and has vented arm pits which is just what I was looking for but didn't know existed. Super comfortable and cool.

    Best lightweight hooded fishing shirt for sun protection

    Looking for recommendations for a lightweight hooded fishing shirt. Must be extremely lightweight and comfortable. I fish offshore and inshore in NC/VA and have had several bouts with skin cancer so covering up is a must for me. I have several already and my favorite is made by HUK. Some of them...

    Wyoming / MT

    We rented a VRBO right on the Yellowstone river in Paradice Valley between Livingston & Gardiner. Flew into Bozeman. Fished behind the house, floated the river in tubes one day. Took two full days in the park, took a day trip to Big Sky, another day checking out Bozeman/Livingston. Beautiful...

    Hunting wallows

    I hunt water 75% of the time during the beginning of archery season. The area I hunt is very dry and the water sources are few and far between. In some places it may be several miles between water. It seems a little more consistent in the afternoons than in the mornings but sometimes both are...

    Kuiu Attack vs Tiburon suggestions

    I have both and the Tiburons are awesome for warm weather. I wear them during spring turkey season and early bow season. You can feel the air move right through them. We hunt the opening week of archery season out west and it is usually cool in the mornings and warm for the afternoon hunt. I...

    20 Gauge Turkey Gun Set Ups

    I suppose every manufacturer makes a lemon occasionally but I have heard almost none from Franchi. Everyone I know loves them. What problems have you had? I don't think any Mossberg would be an upgrade in comparison to a Franchi.

    Heading out west for 3 weeks

    Not sure if you are planning to pass through Grand Junction, CO which is not too far from Arches/Moab but Colorado National Monument is certainly worth seeing. It is like a miniature version of the Grand Canyon mixed with Sedona, AZ. Pretty cool place. Also, if you are going to Mesa Verde, I...

    One Place and One Species… What and Where Are You Hunting?

    September elk in CO would be my first choice followed by ducks in Kansas. Sitting in a tree stand at home waiting for a whitetail to walk by just doesn't get it for me anymore.

    20 Gauge Turkey Gun Set Ups

    Satchamo, I ordered it directly from Franchi. It may take them a while to get more in but it is definitely worth the wait. It is an awesome little gun.

    20 Gauge Turkey Gun Set Ups

    I use a Franchi Affinity compact that was my son's shotgun until he outgrew it and moved up to a 12 gauge. I bought the full length stock and have only tried the factory full choke so far. I was amazed how well it shot the TSS 9's at 40 yards. Not sure I want anything tighter but may experiment...

    Another where would you go post.

    Sounds like a great trip but a ton of windshield time. I think I would trim Glacier off the list so you won't have to go so far north. Plus much of it may not even be open yet. This way it would be a great excuse to go back for another trip with your son. I would definitely try to hit Jackson...

    Disregard politics or people what’s the worst state to live in?

    Not sure why all the hate for Kansas. Apparently, most have just drive from one end to the other on I70. I went on a duck hunting trip there and loved the area. Something about that prairie is very cool. If I had to pick it would be one place that I would not want to live, it would be the coal...

    Turkey load alternatives

    I was very hesitant to spend $50 for 5 TSS shells too. My son moved up to a 12 gauge this past year so I took his old Franch Affinity 20 gauge compact and bought a full size stock for it. The gun is incredibly light and makes a perfect turkey gun. I bit the bullet and bought a pack of the TSS #9...

    What is the attraction of elk hunting?

    I don't hunt public land but do hunt a OTC unit in CO. After hunting elk during bow season for several years, I have very little interest in chasing whitetails at home. I tell people that haven't been elk hunting that is similar to taking the very best parts of deer hunting and spring turkey...
