    Favorite Whitetail Jacket

    For Whitetail it’s easy and doesn’t have to be expensive. 99% of the time for me it’s an appropriately layered Predator Camo vest/jacket over a solid 1/4 fleece of any name brand you wish with a merino wool baselayer. I’ll often lash an insulation layer to my stand if it’s going to be colder...

    How long would it take for you to give up?

    I think new hunters without any actual mentors outside of whatever Youtube or social media influencer they watched quit relatively quickly once they find out it’s not as easy as the Youtuber made it appear. In my area the swell of noobs who popped up behind every tree during covid are mostly...

    Are Bears fans really thinking about draft picks already by week 5???? Wow, being a Bears fan has gotta be rough.

    Football fans???

    Bears lost to their new owner and are now 0-4 so pretty much all is right with the NFL.

    Mobile stand setup 2023

    LWCG .5 and 9 cranford rope steps that i spliced amsteel onto so i can get on really small to pretty big trees. The steps fit in my two saddle pouches as do my Lineman’s and tether. So i can just walk up to a tree, loop my lineman’s around it, and reach in my pouches to pull steps out and...

    Any chance for this elk?

    Chances of finding a gut shot animal that’s been pushed by going after him too soon and grid searching, slim to none. Forget 500 yards that animal can go miles with no blood trail when pushed. Lesson learned is the only real positive. Sorry man but that’s huntin sometimes.

    Pnuma

    I have a fleece1/4 zip i bought from them probably 5 or 6 years ago, Lifetime Warranty. Well, after about a year the cuffs came apart on both sides. Like the thread they used to sew on the elastic stuff just came undone which made the cuffs gigantic. They didn’t offer me a warranty repair...

    Hunting private ground in your state

    In SE WI closer to 0% if you dont already know a person of have some other sort of in. But just randomly knocking youre going to get turned away pretty much 100% of the time. Most land being sold nowadays around here is to developers or overpaid FIBs who think meat comes from the store and...

    New Record! Colorado elk…

    People can deny it all they want but its the Internet, Youtube, social media effect. When i got my start in the 80s you had to WANT to go hunt at this place or that it wasnt suggested to you as an option by nameless "influencers". Nor was the blueprint on how to go about doing it basically...

    Meat Processing (Deer)

    Processing your own meat is just part of the process and can be as much fun as the hunt. I don’t look at it as hard work at all. Me, my old man, and my son just set up in the garage with each of us having a station over a few beers and before you know it we are done and the meat is exactly...

    Bow troubles, really need some advice please.

    Shooting too light of arrows is essentially the same as dry firing a bow. Get a new archery shop to work with. For what it’s worth, torquing a bow is common for new archers and will not cause arrows to be damaged. It just causes poor arrow flight and accuracy problems.

    Sad day

    The buck is still there, get out and hunt him down. All that stuff that burned is just material stuff, it doesn’t matter. The memories you make with that boy hunting that buck, whether you get him or not, are what matters. Best of luck

    Entire sleep system under pack?

    It will work just fine. Nothing wrong with having a little discomfort, nothing wrong with that at all. Hope you have a great hunt.

    Supplements and Vitamins

    Get blood work and go from there. I was EXTREMELY low in Vit D which really surprised me as I pretty much live outside and get plenty of sun, too much probably. Despite that i was super low where the Doc put me on High Dose Vit D for a few months. It can indeed have consequences too such as...

    How many rounds do you pack in with you on a hunt?

    You’re a god if you use 30 rounds on one outing and come out with a deer, bear, cougar, wolf, coyote, etc on a single trip. One trip i did kill a buck and a coyote on the way out though but that was two shots. But hey, if you think you need 30 have at it i’m not telling anyone what to do i was...

    How many rounds do you pack in with you on a hunt?

    5 total, any more needed than that its my fault and the deer win. I dont recall taking more than 2 or maybe 3 shots at an animal ever in my 35 years of hunting i am dumfounded at how many of yall take 10-20 rounds!

    Bad taxidermy or high expectations?

    Looks fine to me However, i have personally mounted every single animal ive killed on a skull plaque since i was 10 and always will. So take my opinion on it with a grain of salt as I personally dont see the value of mounting animals in general. Heck, i dont know where id put all my animals...
