    How do you deal with poor harvest rate in the field?

    It happened to me. After 7 years of filling tags I had 3 years strait of tag soup. Honestly I was a bit stunned after the 3rd year. It happens. If there is game where you are hunting then you need to suck it up and keep hunting. I love to hunt as much as anyone but I would be a liar if I said...

    Life after stents?

    I am 62 as of last week. I had to have a stent four years ago. As long as you don't other issues stents generally improve your ability to do things. What does your cardiologist say? If it was me, and it was me… I would go do what I wanted but take it slow and easy. Monitor how you feel. I got my...

    Starlink for basecamp?

    Following. This. I can be away from town three weeks at a time a few times a year if I have reliable internet service. I’m not going to work all day but being able to handle business as needed is huge for me. Personally I like what I do and I’m more interested in being out of town than a break...

    Favorite Game to Eat

    Whitetail is what I hunt so what I have access to. I had some mule deer and elk once. Neither impressed me but I wouldn't condem either based on one experience. Could have been the cook or many things. I would love to try moose or bear sometime.

    Day hunt vs backpack hunt

    I’m an old man and gotten soft so I like hunting out of my warm cabin and returning back there for a good nights sleep. At this stage I do what is enjoyable.

    How do you all organize/plan hunts and such?

    I use my notes on my Ipad. Important dates I use my calendar on lpad syncing to my iphone. In my notes I title it 2024/5 Hunting. Then outline my hunts and dates on what I need to do to pack or prepare and what I need to do when I get to camp. I also keep a extensive meal idea list and select...

    Some extra Spending Money

    I would keep the money aside until I found something I really wanted or needed. I find myself sometimes wanting to spend money then when I do a short time later wishing I had saved it for something I cant live without. Something that you don't need help deciding on. $2k is a good bit, even...

    If you’re 60 or older, you know the feeling….

    I just turned 62. One of my hunting buddies is 74. I wont pretend I’m a wilderness or backcountry hunter. We are southeastern whitetail guys. Even in our world of comfortable camps , SxSs and climbing stands we are looking at how we keep doing it for as long as we can. I am sometimes at camp for...

    How Many Still Prefer To Hunt Alone?

    For my style hunting , I hunt alone. I doubt anyone else would fit in my climber with me. But I like some other hunters in camp. Fishing is a social sport for me. I want some company fishing. No fun heckling myself….

    Leupold Resale

    In my world I see more 3.5-10x40s. I have 4 of those and only 1 4.5-14x40 and its still in a box on the shelf never been mounted. Others may see something different where they are.

    Ground blind rope knots

    I replaced the lines with orange blaze paracord. I got tired of busting my clumzy but tripping over the black lines. I just tie a slip loop in both ends. I replaced the stakes as well with better ones. I use the slip loop to attach to the stake then tighten the line and push the stake in where...

    Binoc harness Recomendations

    After buying a few different kinds I settled into my Marsupial. It checks all my boxes. I just wanted one that was light weight but durable, comfortable, opened to the front, holds my binos , wind checker , a few spare rounds, a place for my iphone and a lens cleaning cloth. I have a separate...

    Leupold Resale

    I would say that or the 40 obj very likely the most popular. VX3hd line likely most popular illuminated or not.

    Leupold Resale

    I doubt you will lose much if your selling a nib still in the plastic item. Stick with more popular items.

    Your first deer rifle?

    The Marlin I bought at a Service Merchandise store. It was a return item and was being marked down $10 a week. I watched it go down from $160. The Ruger I bought from my brother who got it as boot in a car deal. He didn't really hunt and needed $100 bucks to take some chick out.

    I bought a new Marlin 30-30 for $125 if I recall correctly. After using it a little more than a year I came into a like new Ruger M77 Tang Safety 30-06 with a tasco scope for $100. I consider the Ruger my first deer rifle. I bought a new Bushnell Trophy 3-9x40 scope at a gun show for $90 and...

    How many hunting rifles do you have?

    Once I hunt a few years with a rifle I have a tough time selling it off. Its part of my memories of good times hunting. So I don't buy as many new rifles as I would like to. I’m always saying I need to sell the ones I dont use to use the cash to buy new rifles and scopes but I never do sell...

    Remington 870 smooth bore slug gun

    When I shot a smoothbore sluggun (1100) I had very good success with Rottweille Brenekke rifled slugs. I dont even know if they still make them. I killed many deer with this brand slug and they produce a serious hole in a deer. This was in the early to mid 90s. I used them on wild hogs in...
