    Getting into Target Archery

    I got into it a few years ago and really enjoyed it. I just used my hunting bow with target accessories and arrows and did alright. Won my local club's 3D league two years, took 3rd in indoor two years and 3rd at a state level FITA shoot. I say all that not to brag but to say you can be...

    Dinner in Columbus, OH?

    If you go for pizza, check out Buckeye Pizza and Stromboli near the intersection of Morse and Westerville Rd. As a Wolverine fan, it's probably one of the best pizzas I've ever had, secret ingredient is buckeye tears...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Learned how to resize tonight! Only ran into one problem on the 3 piece of brass, didn't have the spindle tightened enough and it came through when I brought the ram down. Wasn't too hard to get out. Will figure out case trimming tomorrow.

    ANOTHER Toyota Tundra Discussion… Help please!

    I love my 2018, SR5 Double cab 5.7. If you plan to do any truck camping, I'd definitely recommend the double cab with the 6.5' bed.

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Long time reader, first time reloader! When my dad died a couple years ago, I got his Dillon 550B. He never took it out of the box but planned to get into reloading at some point after he settled into retirement and had saved a bunch of his brass. I decided to finish what he started and...

    Can we unite as Hunters?

    To unite people, you gotta find a common cause they can all get behind even when they have different worldviews. Think post 9/11, for a few short months there were almost no republicans or democrats, there were only Americans. That's the easy part. After that you gotta have a plan for what's...

    Frontal shot on whitetails

    I've had great success with frontal to quartering to angles from the ground. But I won't take a frontal shot from a tree. I've never taken a frontal shot from a tree, but have been on 3 tracks over the past few seasons for friends who took it and we never find the deer- even lost one with a...

    Who here hunts whitetail fro ma saddle setup?

    This will be year 4 for me. I think a saddle is the way to go, but ironically, since I switched to a saddle I've shot 9 deer. Of those, 8 were taken from the ground. I think that's what I like about it so much, with a one stick setup you can't get any more mobile and if the spot is best to...

    Convince me Crispi makes a top quality boot ...

    I'm on year 5 with crispi Idaho GTX. I wear em for everything, hunting, hiking, backpacking, and even wore em to work every day for a year or so. Still going strong though the tread of the bottom of the soles is finally showing signs of wear. This will probably be my last season with them.

    What distance between water holes make sitting effective?

    I hope this doesn't come across as negative but unless you have some type of physical handicap, you don't need a pop-up blind, why risk spooking em? I'd challenge yourself to use the terrain to get close enough for a shot. It'll seem daunting at first, might take several days of scaring...

    Reluctantly Obliging Matt Rinella

    I support Matt's message and listen to most of the pidcasts he has put out, but here's the thing, during that episode he confronted Newberg and Newberg argued his side of the coin beautifully, Matt seemed to open his mind to what Newberg was saying. But not really, he is still throwing out the...

    Reluctantly Obliging Matt Rinella

    This is actually pretty sad, and selfish. Family should always come first and brothers should be be able to disagree without hating each other. I got in more fist fights with my brother growing up than all other people combined and after we cooled doen, we laughed and put it behind us. I hope...

    Has anyone trained a non hunting dog to do some hunting related things.?

    Our labradoodle was awesome at flushing grouse in her younger years, she'd weave back and forth about 10-20yds out, get super excited when she started smelling birds and work the area till she flushed one. No training, just did it naturally.
