    Best Dual Pin Picatinny Sight???

    The complaint was the mass weight of the scope, not the diameter. The MRT allows you to go between a housing that appears huge, normal, or small. I’d say the large size MRT is like the MBG big dog housing. The medium size is like a 41 mm axcel and the small is like a 31 mm axcel. Sent from...

    Best Dual Pin Picatinny Sight???

    XL means dovetail. Has nothing to do with the housing. Spot Hogg has the MRT system to change sight rings out which alters the size of the housing from the shooter perspective. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    When to quit?

    I know you meant October of 2025. It’s just coincidence that my experience of hunting before October 25th of any given year is tough. I can go way off to the side somewhere to shoot does with regularity before October 25, but I don’t even bother trying to hunt mature bucks until Halloween...

    When to quit?

    FWIW I think October is a really tough time to kill whitetails compared to November, and even December/January if you can leave them alone and you’ve got quality food sources. During October, there’s still a medley of food sources, making it hard to pin down where they’re going every day. A...

    When to quit?

    If you learn how to consistently kill deer with a bow, especially during rifle season, you’ll be deadlier than CWD with a rifle in your hand. Bow hunting is a game of inches. Rifle hunting is game of hundreds of yards. I believe it was Fred Bear who said, “Most rifle hunts end where a bow hunt...

    Best Dual Pin Picatinny Sight???

    I’ve got the MBG dual trac on one bow and an axcel landslyde dual pin on another. The axcel replaced a spot Hogg triple stack. I wish I could take the best parts of all 3 and make them one sight. MBG pins, axcel fit and finish, fine adjustment, and Hogg durability. It’s splitting hairs but...

    Alaska Caribou draws

    Use your wife’s phone. . . Rokslide pops up because YOU’RE on Rokslide. Reddit was the only discussion based platform that popped up when I googled “Alaska caribou hunting” on my wife’s google profile. AK fish and game was first, followed by two outfitters, Reddit, and other outfitter, then...

    When to quit?

    I didn’t say spot, I said same deer. They’re distinctly different. Just because you’re hunting 250 yards from where you hunted yesterday, or last week, doesn’t mean you’re hunting different deer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    When to quit?

    And here’s one more thing I’ll point out that I think most people who get caught in a struggle rut forget. You cannot ever play the game at the animal’s level. The stakes are so vastly different between you and him that you will never fully meet him where he’s at. When you lose the game, you...

    When to quit?

    Do you know anyone locally that’s a killer? They’re not going to be at a seminar. They’re going to be scouting, shooting their bow, turkey hunting, mushroom foraging, fishing, etc. Buy them a beer, and pick their brain. Don’t ask to follow them around or then take you hunting. Tell them what...

    What hunter stage are you in?

    It all depends on the time, place and tag for me. Could be any one of them given different situational inputs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    When to quit?

    Didn’t read the whole thread, so sorry if this was already posted. Find some new friends to hunt with that are killers. This will probably ruffle a few feathers, but if they’re not bow hunters, they’re probably not killers. Anyone that consistently punches tags on mature animals with a bow and...

    Realistic Shooting Distances

    This is such a subjective question. Everyone is situation is different, and everyone has different skill levels. I only bow hunt. Have killed somewhere around 100 whitetails with the bow, and I can count on one hand how many have been further than 35. A couple fingers on that hand were dang...

    Trophy Elk: What's it to YOU

    All elk are big. Outside of places like this site where there’s an over represented amount of killers compared to the general hunting population, a 300” bull is a bull of a lifetime. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bear shot placement- vitals vs anchor

    The bear I shot last year was a heart shot. 25 yards, she didn’t know where the shot came from and died under my tree. Red carpet blood trail to my arrow. Pretty wild to see the death moan from just a few feet away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Darton Sequel st2?

    Darton has been making great bows and innovative technology for a long time. The royalties from PSE using the evolve cam system seems to have finally given Darton enough money to market. In 5 years I think they’re going to be a household name. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
