    Hunting Journal

    @Warmsy gotcha. Great info, thanks! I would also like to know what kind of weather info you are including? Are you going as far as to report to barometric pressure and moon phase, or just the basic “cloudy and humid”? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hunting Journal

    @BadEarth that is awesome. Makes me wish I had started doing it a long time ago. There is something about reading an old story written in your own handwriting. I bet I have forgotten a lot more than I think I have.

    Hunting Journal

    @Pacific_Fork yeah it is kind of a PIA, but I'm sure you're right. I think that is a good method--transferring from phone notes to physical journal. I just wonder, would I ever even look back into my journal? Do you have separate journals for different types of hunting, locations, etc? How do...

    Hunting Journal

    @Pony Soldier No joke, I bet folks would kill to get their hands on those maps. That sounds like a good way to do it. Right now, I mark most things on my digital maps but I think a physical map would probably be more beneficial.

    Hunting Journal

    I looked around and couldn't find another thread for this. I was wondering how those of you who journal your hunts do it. Do you carry a physical journal in the field with you? What do you log in the journal? Has it paid off for you? I am considering starting to do it, and I have been told it...

    a worthwhile read- The Comfort Crisis

    Read this thread right as you posted it and it inspired me to read the book. EASILY the best book I have ever read (other than the Bible, of course). Just a wealth of knowledge, and honestly I may read it again soon. It motivates, educates, and captivates synchronously. Just a special book that...

    Appalachian mountain black bear hunting advice

    Sweet, that’s exciting! Since I’m still in school, I’ve got some extra time on my hands so I am going to scout as much as possible and plan to hunt just about every chance I get from opening day in September to Mid-October. I usually go back home to South Ga to deer hunt in that time frame, but...

    Appalachian mountain black bear hunting advice

    Before Newcomb joined Meateater he had Bear Hunting Magazine. Yeah, Newcomb has an old podcast that’s still on Spotify through Bear Hunting Magazine (Bear Hunting Magazine Podcast, who would guess it) and it seems to have lots of great knowledge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Appalachian mountain black bear hunting advice

    I am in the same exact boat. A fella on here recommended that I go check out the GON forums (Georgia Outdoor News) for some good advice and tips specific to north GA. From what I can tell, its kinda tough to find a lot of good info online. I would just try to find a connection with someone who...

    Most fun bird to hunt?

    Turkey, by far in my opinion. If you are into dogs and socializing while hunting, I get it. But a turkey thundering through the trees is absolutely jolting. And when they blow up and start strutting...there is not much that gets me going like that. I have actually only hunted a turkey one time...

    Fixed Blade Knife for backcountry hunts

    Been wanting to get this knife for a while but haven't pulled the trigger. Tell me honestly, is it good for the money or would it be a good knife if you had to pay $60 more for it?

    Fly fishing?

    No, great point. Very similar. I guess I just meant personality-wise, because the person that started this thread described them as “snobby” and sometimes they can come off like that. I don’t necessarily see them that way, but I think they often have a different culture than the hunting...

    Fly fishing?

    I believe that fly fishing is an art. It takes skill, technique, lots of practice, and a wealth of knowledge to actually do it yourself successfully. Many of the guys that do it are definitely a bit eccentric and are much different from the hunting community, but don't let that discourage you...

    Mississippi Opening Day Success

    Congrats! Hard to beat a successful turkey hunt. Every experience is so different and so memorable. Each tom has a different personality, and you get to learn about them on almost a personal level unlike many other types of hunting. Love it!

    Stretching program?

    Not criticizing you—do whatever you want of course. But I do think paying for a subscription for a stretching program is pretty pointless with all of the resources you have easy access to online and through YouTube. You don’t even have to know what you’re doing, just look up some videos and free...
