    Traeger?

    I like my traeger..but it was free (buddy got a bigger traeger and gave me his old one) I also see it's limitations.. but again, it was free, so i like it. I also have a nice gas weber that I use to grill.

    Treestands

    I take a climbing stand. During the evening I climb down (obviously) and just stash it at the base of a tree or in a nearby location, throw some branches over it, and really...it's pretty hidden unless you're looking for it. add a cable lock and lock it to a tree if you really want.

    Yeti drops NRA?

    my dad can beat up your dad... this whole deal is ridiculous. in my opinion, this show's the NRA's lack of responsible leadership. my thing is i would like to see the list of organizations/companies this affected because it wasnt targeted at the NRA, which is what the NRA is trying to make it...

    Kifaru shipping

    two main things at play here. 1 as has been said, automated shipping calculators...they arent always perfect. I ran an online vendor site selling automotive parts with a huge inventory, it was hard to apply the correct shipping to everything, let alone combos..example, someone orders an exhaust...

    New (Used) Hunting truck

    this is great advice. if i towed anything of any substance (biggest thing I tow is my 18 foot north river aluminum boat), and didn't have to deal with parking in downtown seattle for work at times, i would probably get a truck bigger than a tacoma...but if you don't tow, do you really need a big...

    New (Used) Hunting truck

    love my tacoma. as for mods it's pretty basic because its also my daily driver. small 1.5 inch lift, 32" tires, soft topper canopy has been awesome and very versatile, and my remote mount warn winch (can run in the front or back) has been a LIFE saver when out there alone..you can't always winch...

    Idaho rifle Elk 2019 ?s

    I hunted rifle in Idaho last year and had 8-10 inches of snow one day, and none a few days later. Weather wise, it is going to be hard to predict until you come up with an area you want to hunt. First elk hunt and first backpacking experience? I wouldn't cross truck camping off of your list...

    Best credit card for outdoorsmen

    I pay my bills every month. I don’t carry a balance and enjoy the rei gift cards I get every March for a dividend and the miles I get on my Alaska card have bought me tickets to Japan, South America, Europe, and places in the us. I agree. If you can’t pay it off. Pass. But if you treat it like...

    Minox md50

    I had a minox but sold it..wasn't overly impressed over decent binos on a tripod to be honest. if you're going for a compact spotter, id spend a little more and get something just a bit nicer. it will be nice to have at the range and for other activities, once you have it, youll use it more. i...

    Phone scope vs good universal

    EDIT: I will probably just get the phone scope..was looking at them again.. 77 bucks isnt bad, for some reason in my mind it was like 127 for everything.
