    Gray Wolves Delisted

    My view is that *IF* the decision was made based off of sound science and not politics or emotion on either side then delisting should be seen as a victory for wolves and all of wildlife and the ESA has done its job. Hopefully they will be placed under effective state management and the system...

    Help me with coffee fellas...

    Maybe because the prohibition is against beverages and if it ain't made into a beverage yet.... Chocolate covered coffee beans are dangerous shit...I dig into those things and before I know it I've eaten a whole lot of cups of coffee lol

    Help me with coffee fellas...

    They are just plant material, I toss them on the ground (away from camp) or if I was going to be there a while dig a small hole to bury them in just so there's not a big pile of grounds laying around being ugly. I have a Sea to Summit coffee dripper that works pretty well, I'm a pourover...

    Yo So. Texas! I got Nilgai questions

    As far as running off, I can confirm that if you shoot one with a direct frontal shot, with a crossbow and a huge ass mechanical they do not run very far... lol

    Best pack strategy for $300, new western hunter?

    For that budget I'd go with a used Kifaru, SG, or MR frame and something like a grabit or a used Kuiu bag (Kuiu frames kinda suck for heavy weights but their bags are nice) you might go over your budget a bit but should be able to get pretty close. Keep an eye on camofire and you can often...

    Yo So. Texas! I got Nilgai questions

    I've hunted them twice on public land in TX with my stickbow, one of the guys with us killed a young bull with his xbow at about 30 yards on the first hunt, a very lucky shot, him and the nilgai just happened to walk out on the trail at the same time. Needless to say I went home empty handed...

    Shot Show 2021 cancelled

    Just about everyone I know who goes to or has gone to SHOT has gotten sick. I can't even imagine the clusterfug that it would turn into with the rona... smart of them to cancel, as much as it sucks.

    Zombie deer - crazy trail cam video!

    I thought so too when i first saw it and it's certainly possible that its a fake but thats a LOT of effort to go through to get all the muscles and scapula to move properly like that.

    Are expensive glassing optics a must

    I'd personally recommend starting with the best 10x you can afford, that's going to be the most versatile for as many different scenarios, once you stick them on a tripod you're going to be shocked how different it is from hand held glassing. Just starting out you're not likely to be judging...

    Are expensive glassing optics a must

    Take your entire budget for binos and a spotter, ditch the spotter and drop all that on your binos. Top end optics are nice but not entirely necessary but you will want the best binos you can afford on a tripod.

    I'm calling out CPW, change my mind

    That's 100% the answer but it won't help us right now with the resources we have unfortunately.

    I'm calling out CPW, change my mind

    Last time I checked I can't go off into the woods, make a stupid mistake and cause a hurricane. Yeah it sucks that folks' hunts are getting cancelled, I'd be super let down too but as was already stated the state doesn't have the resources to fight another fire so yeah, hunting is a privilege...

    Coldest Temp you have camped/hunted in?

    Dang... coldest I've camped in was 22 and I had to double up my 15 degree bag with my 55 degree bag. lol Was nice and toasty after that though.

    your good (or not so good) customer service interactions of late

    I've never had a bad experience with any hunting company I've dealt with CS at. Kifaru called me about an item they were out of an asked if I could accept a sub Outdoorsmans called me right away about a bino stud and adapter configuration that I placed that just didn't look right to them, we...

    Thanking after killing

    I always thank the animal, not that it matters to the animal but it just feels like the right thing to do for myself and I think it helps keeps me in the mindset of solemn appreciation that I don't ever want to lose.

    God Bless Eddie Van Halen

    Damn that sucks. I've never been a huge Van Halen fan but they definitely changed the game in rock music. Eddie was a hell of a musician!
