    Maintenance stage of weight loss

    I recently went on a weight loss journey and now am in my maintenance phase. I've always been very physically fit but over the last few years I gained weight and for me it was just too much. I started cutting weight last December right after Christmas. I'm 5'5 and then weighed 196 and was at...

    First Hunt to Take with 5 Year Old?

    I started mine out at 3-4 yrs old with Dove hunts. AT the time we couldn't start shooting until Noon. They would come out with us at 8am and I'd let them run around crazy all morning. We would cook breakfast in the field and when ready they'd get to eat. They'd get dirty, run around the...

    Recommended factory loads

    175gr Terminal Ascent. My brother has a Springfield 2020 in .308 and this round is easily a .5" moa round in his rifle.

This one video there is a decent sized buck laying down next to his garage and the guy says watch this. He says to the buck. “There he...

    I love my suppressed Bergara BXR. As others have said those tree rats are everywhere. A ton of fun!

    Rucking/Military boot

    I can see what you are saying about durability. I've put at least 60-70 miles on my Gorucks, mostly on pavement, and the soles are seeing definite wear. The soles on the regular jungle boots are definitely a lot harder and more durable.

    Climber or hang on with sticks for beginner?

    I have both and it depends on where I'm hunting. If mostly pines or even straight oaks I'm in a climber. I have a Summit Viper. It's really comfortable and more than once I've fallen asleep. If I'm in an area that doesn't have many straight trees I'm using a lock on and sticks. I like the...

    Sitka Fanatic vs. Stratus in Southeast

    I run cold first off and I'm in central NC. We will get mornings in the 20's fairly often late season. I definitely wear my Fanatic Bibs and Jacket. I'll be in my tree stand all day typically. As others have said they are too hot to wear in. I strap them to my back pack and carry them in...

    Mid layer bottoms?

    Look at the Black Ovis bottom layers. They are good quality and don’t cost an arm and a leg!

    Rucking/Military boot

    Look at the Goruck Macv-2's. They are basically like the old style jungle boots. Come in a mid height and regular height boot. I have the mid height pair and typically, 3 times a week I am run/hiking 4 miles a day with a 35lb weighted vest on. Boots are very comfortable and breathe very...

    A nation of wimps?

    When I was 5 yrs old I died once and my Mom told me to get up and walk it off! When we were kids we were told to go out and play and not to come back in the house until either lunch or dinner. Didn't matter how old we were. The only rule was that we had to be within whistle distance when the...

    Do you take a backup rifle on hunts?

    If I'm travelling yes. I won't leave it in my truck though. Worst case the day is ruined if I have issues with my primary rifle. If I'm just doing a day hunt close to home then no.

    In search for a new pack

    Exo K4 7200. I have the 5000 and love it. Previous to the Exo I had a MR Metcalf and while it is a good pack the K4 is easily the better pack

    How Many Still Prefer To Hunt Alone?

    Definitely solo unless it's with my Son. I like the peace and quiet. I don't have to think about anyone else and I can mentally relax.

    Upland Pants

    I'm typically wearing a pair of Kuhl Ryder or Ryder Lite pants with Filson Chaps. The Kuhls are pretty rugged and the chaps take care of any heavy brush or thorns I may be going through.

    Moose in the yard

    This is too funny not to tell it. When my son was 10 or 12 we were watching a Moose hunting show and the guide was calling moose with his mouth. My son was amazed he could do that. I said it was easy and started grunting like the guide did. My wife came into the room and said 'what's that...

    Are Talley rings a reliable choice?

    I have 3 rifles with the Talley Modern Sporting rings on them and have had no issues at all. Now, I did have an issue with the quick detach picatinny rings. The base screws stripped out on 2 separate sets. Talley replaced them with out any questions. They sent me the Modern Sporting Rings...
