    # of Members by State

    I was curious if there is a way to tell how many members there are from each state. Which state has the most, least etc. More in the west or east? How many are Canadian? Just curious.

    Are you ready if SHTF?.......

    I think an EMP attack by a foreign power is more likely than bombs or military attack. If a foreign entity wants your stuff it is only reasonable to not destroy said stuff. What better way to preserve the stuff but eliminate the enemy than have the enemy destroy itself and just walk in after...

    Are you ready if SHTF?.......

    Robtatto summed it up pretty shortly in post #2. Too many scenarios to prepare for to be ready. That being said, one would be in a better starting place in a rural setting vs urban. Just imagine living in NYC on floor 23 with a grid down. No water, refrigeration, sewerage, elevator, food...

    Physical or Mental?

    I have never been on a guided hunt. Not knocking it just could never afford it. I always want to hunt at my pace using my skills anyway, but the thought of someone having meals ready and packing out my kill would sure make it more enjoyable.

    Physical or Mental?

    I agree with Laramie on the DIY assessment. If you have to stay out there because it was so hard getting there, so be it. The more time out there the higher the odds. I would add that the pack out is just as important mentally and physically.

    Help me select my first Elk/Moose/Bear rifle.

    In the context of this thread: There are many different approaches on how we hunt. Some enjoy the result of a well placed shot at long distance knowing that their practice, understanding of wind drift, trajectories and so forth all came together for a successful end. Then there are those...

    Help me select my first Elk/Moose/Bear rifle.

    I will add a few more thoughts. Using the exact same rifle every time will give you a big advantage in quickness and accuracy. That is because the fit is the same, the safety is the same, the trigger pull is the same when you pull up to shoot. Muscle memory will take over and your instincts...

    Help me select my first Elk/Moose/Bear rifle.

    Lots of experienced advice has already been given with little of it wrong, just different recipes. Since you have said all this is confusing, maybe a little different approach will help. The first thing that comes to mind is felt recoil. Notice that if you go to the range and shoot your .270...

    Eastern vs Western land ownership?

    Big Faus, I searched for years for a cabin away from others and looked at probably a hundred. Happened upon this place on the way to look at another. Pure luck or maybe destiny. Anyhow there was this little old (160 years old at least) cabin sitting down in a valley with no road to it. It...

    Eastern vs Western land ownership?

    I have covered this whole country for work and for hunting and hiking and at one time thought I wanted to move out west. I looked hard and came to the conclusion that much of available, affordable land had issues with water and rights. Hunting seasons were short compared to the east and some...

    Fanatic vs Incinerator

    Paridgerunner, I think you made good choices and should be in good shape for the coldest days and warmer with that setup.

    Fanatic vs Incinerator

    One item I found to be a HUGE help in keeping warm inside is the neck gaiter. I never leave for the hunt without it no matter what I think the temps and wind will be. Those times when the jacket and bottoms you went with that day are not enough, the one thing that will really boost your warmth...

    Ticks... Overreaction?

    I have had Lymes and it is no joke. It is really hard to know what is real with all the misinformation out there. Some medical advice says it stays in your system and can reemerge at any time. I have spent 11 days in the hospital with a severe case about two years ago. I did not think I was...

    Kifaru 357 Mag Feedback

    For those of you who went with the 357 mag, how is it working out for your use? Size, layout, function, changes you would make, etc. I am thinking of going with one for ladder stand late season whitetail as I like the layout and don't use climbers anymore due to my age. I need the main...

    The social dilemma

    I fear for the younger folks' future. It is already near impossible to sort out what path to take. Who to trust, who to believe. The more choices the less we are sure and confident. Social media is just loud noise.
