I'm 39, and workout at least 5-days a week. Generally gym / weights every morning before work for 1-hour. I try to get a cardio workout for 30 minutes to an hour at least 3-days a week on top of the gym (usually running or hitting a bag in the evenings).
I love it. I'm in the best shape of...
I do love still hunting for whitetails. Intercepting traveling whitetails on foot is just exciting, and it is fun to change the game a little as season progresses.
I do pick the days to still hunt strategically though. I typically pick rainy days (or the day following a rain), heavy dew, or...
I have a .300 win mag Hells Canyon Speed. I love the gun. I was able to site the gun in with factory bullets and ring the 600 yard steel plate on the range. I killed a bull elk at 287 yards, and a whitetail buck at 294 yards this year. I put a Vortex scope (6.5x20x50mm) on it, and the combo...
I commend you in your decision to take on this challenge. I wanted to go west for a long time before I made the leap, and now hunting western big game is an obsession I have. Very challenging, and I learn from my mistakes on every trip; but the reward is worth it. You are also approaching...
I've read these threads before, but always enjoy seeing where other hunters travel in their pursuit of wild game. I'll start:
Tennessee - whitetail deer, ducks, geese, eastern turkey, and small game
Mississippi - ducks, geese, and small game
Kentucky - whitetail deer and eastern turkey...
Jr. is an avid outdoorsman. I liked it that he said he would be in his Dad's ear when it came to these issues. Leadership that is on the hunter's side. I am excited about the future.
I am with the everybody on the binoculars. On my last trip west, I was able to borrow some really nice binoculars / range finder combo. I was amazed at the difference in quality from my "cheap" binoculars to the good pair. Furthermore, when i set them on my shooting sticks to steady them...
This is a bull I killed in Idaho on the 3rd day of this year's gun season. So thankful to live in a country that allows the freedom to hunt these majestic animals.
Without a doubt. I know to hold back some, just wasn't sure how far. If the guys finding success on the spike camp hunts were still a mile or two out from where they plan on focusing their hunting efforts, I was going to have to re-work my plans. But it sounds like you guys are getting in...
Hey guys, I've hunted from base camps with wall tents, but feel like I waste time with that daily hike to and from base camp.
My brother and I are wanting to plan a back pack hunt and set up closer to the action. My question is, how close to the "X" do you guys set up your camps? Are you...
I bought the Speed Freaks this year, used them through the TN whitetail bow season, then to Idaho in October elk hunting. Contradicting the performance that most of you above experienced, I really like them.
I do realize that they are not a cold weather boot, but for mobility moving through...
I bought one at Bass Pro and topped it with a Vortex scope. I really like the gun. When you find the one you're looking for, I think you will be happy with it.
I love to hunt, so I am not going to pass up that morning opportunity to be in the woods. That being said, there is no doubt that you risk spooking more deer by walking in to a feeding area before light. I have harvested several deer at different times of day, so being in the hunt is key to...
Hey guys, just logged in for the first time since setting up my account. I had the good fortune to meet and hunt with Mr. Robby Denning last week in Idaho. Great guy, and I am happy to have made a new western friend.
I do love to hunt places I've never seen before, and love the mountains of...
