    Who "owns" the threads on RS?

    I guess I thought those were AI generated images you posted - maybe not? I've seen pictures of Robby/Bobby and Ryan, but I don't recall seeing pictures of Formidilosus...

    Killing illegal grizzly cheaper than legal?

    I'm kind of wondering if he didn't shoot it at night and maybe couldn't see the collar and/or ear tags...

    Trad archery friendly bear over bait hunt?

    I did a recurve hunt with Silver Fox Outfitters (780-723-3598) in Northern Alberta several years back. Saw several bears, but nothing big.

    Swaro Stc or Sts-65 hd

    I have the angle version of both - if you are specifically comparing the STC with the STS-65 (and not the STX-65) then I would suggest the STC. The STC vs STS-65 with the 25-50x wide angle lens might be a toss up - but I'd still choose STC For me, I wouldn't consider the STS-65 with the...

    Ever mess up a ten yard shot?

    A few years back at first light, I had just entered some dark timber and walked in on some cows. I bugled and a big bull responded and started walking toward me from about 40 yards away. At 25 yards I went full draw, but held the string about 8" to the side of my face so I could see which side...

    Freeze drying already cooked meals for backpack hunts?

    I bought a Harvest Right that last year and love it. IMO almost everything I processed was as good or far better than any of the name brand freeze dry meals. However, some meals that I thought were exceptionally good fresh, didn't turn out as well as I thought they might be once rehydrated...

    Custom Rifle Journey/Review *Pic Heavy*

    Cool journey - thanks for sharing! The R&D cost for the firearms & optics is one thing, but I think I'm more impressed by how many tags you were able to acquire over that time frame. Congrats!

    In search of a bighorn sheep skull to buy.

    My man cave is full of shoulder mounts and shed antlers that I would never sell. But when I'm 6' under, I'm pretty sure my wife will be happy to sell them for $.10 on the $1.00.

    Stranded after fly-in hunt prior to winter…

    I'm pretty sure Leupold scopes don't fail the drop test on Mars.

    Using e-caller in rain & snow

    I just picked up a Lucky Duck Revolt - what's the best solution to protect the caller from rain and/or snowy conditions? Maybe a garbage bag?

    Right switch to lefty

    I'm right handed, left eye dominate. When I first started bowhunting, I shot instinctive so the dominance didn't really matter. I eventually moved to a sight but had to close my left eye to see through the sight. I probably shot right handed for 35+ years before I decided to try shooting...

    Best Puffy?

    Another vote for the Grumman - mine has held up pretty well for 5+ seasons. My hunting buddy however has a Granite Grey Grumman that has had quite a few ember, hot stove, and tree snag encounters. It's a patchwork of Tenacious Tape, Duct Tape, and Band-Aids - I'll bet he's lost 25%+ of the...

    Field Dressing

    Gutless method here - we take everything. Front/back loins, brisket, heart, caul fat. I've taken kidneys and liver, but don't really care for them so they are left unless I know somebody that wants them... Once you get proficient, the gutless method can be done in 30 seconds or less...
