    Harness

    Every issue I anticipated to be a problem when I switched maybe 15 years ago has not been a problem. I shoot a longbow, recurve or compound. No jacket problems. You learn to position your tree rope and tether. It becomes second nature when I get in a tree. It's maybe not for everyone but I...

    2024 Colorado OTC Archery Elk craziness?

    Previously crowded areas will be crowded again this season and in future seasons. It's the new normal. My daughters are in their 30's and 40's. Every time I ask about one of their high school friends the answer is usually "moved to Colorado".

    So freaking happy

    When parked put a bag of Fresh Cab in the engine compartment. (even if you have the hood up) https://www.menards.com/main/outdoors/insect-pest-control/animal-traps-repellents/fresh-cab-reg-rodent-repellent-4-pack/98703/p-1444427751360-c-10120.htm

    Do I Need Nicer Glass?

    Buying good/great/alpha glass is a legacy investment. Your great grandkids will appreciate your high end binoculars but not your used boots or Sitka clothes. Alpha glass makes long glassing sessions tolerable to your eyes. Cheaper glass will also find animals especially deer in the whitetail...

    Meindl Comfort Fit Hunter/Insulated/Extreme?

    Meindl USA fan here. I would suggest printing their Brannock foot-measuring scale to get the right size no matter what you wear in other boots.

    A health revolution brewing?

    Hopefully our great great grandkids will look back on the 2020's and say "WTF were those people thinking??!!" but possibly they will be an inflamed pile of human goo sitting before a screen not thinking at all.

    Wyoming Elk Preference Point

    Without knowing your annual hunting budget and time available to hunt, I would follow up this advice with starting now, apply for a cow tag as a second choice (does not affect your points if you draw) or a reduced price cow/calf tag (also does not affect points) in the area you are interested...

    High volume strength training (10x10, 5x10, GVT, etc)- anyone have experience with it?

    For this old guy any sets over 5 reps except warmups are a painful waste of time that just aggravate arthritic joints that have long lost their cartilage lining. I find more benefit from two sets of heavier 5's than a lighter set of 10. And depending on the day, three or four sets of even...

    Taking SS early (62)

    I worked until 70 so I waited. I'm also old enough that I was able to file a restricted application for spousal benefits off my wife when she reached full retirement age(66) while my benefit kept growing for 4 more years until 70 when I applied. Then we swapped and she took spousal benefits off...

    A reminder about bees in trees

    I've brush hogged ground hornets/bees twice. First time I got about 6 pops to the head and the same to arms and hands. Last week I saw them attack the tractor while I mowed so I bailed earlier and only got two hits. Dog got hit the next day. I've got to eliminate this recent nest because...

    Light vs Heavy Arrow real life trajectory experiment

    This is really a crazy discussion only because we all don't shoot the same bow so your experience with arrows of varying weight will be different and in some cases, very different My conclusion from the video is that he has a very nice bow that handles arrows of varying weight extremely well...

    Kids braces!

    One other tip: if your kid brushes their teeth about once a week, eats crap and is sipping a soft drink all day, forget the braces until they take some responsibility for their dental health or let them pay for them as adults. If not, the results won't be pretty (or cheap).

    Kids braces!

    Every American kid needs braces. They don't want to win the Olympics and look European. Freddie Mercury was asked why he never got his teeth straightened. He said he wanted the world to know he was British.

    Light vs Heavy Arrow real life trajectory experiment

    How is this different than the video except it adds a human element (aiming and releasing)? I'm not arguing I just want to understand your results vs the video. Is it possible that some bows handle various weight arrows better than others? All 50# bows at 28" are not equal. Used in that video...
