    Best GPS Handheld for hunting?

    The current iPhones are unreal as far as gps goes. I wear a Garmin fenix 6 as a daily driver. I would imagine between these and an InReach would cover just about anything.

    Need a Sight

    Building up a Phase 4 33. Went with a QAD MX integrate rest over the Hamskea Epsilon. A Podium Archer 12” stabilizer and I’m thinking of staying with a Fast Eddie 5-pin which I have on my Traverse. However, I’m thinking of a 3-pin version. My reasoning is that the pins can become a little...

    New vs used bows

    Just bought a Phase 4 33 in like new condition for about $600 less than the as new price. Just that some guys buy and sell every year. Great deals to be had on that market.

    Bourbon

    I like Bulleit, it’s my go to. Their rye is ok too. I enjoy variety and will have Makers or Buffalo Trace and I try new stuff that I come across. My daughter got me Blanton’s last year for Christmas and it was good but not epic. Never had Pappys. Not a fan of anything Jack Daniel’s.

    Starting TAC shooting this 2024 year...tips and advice!

    Footwear. My first event at Seven Springs I wore sneaker style hiking shoes and my feet and ankles were beat by the end of the day. In fact, I was whipped. Now I wear my Crispis. I use a backpack style quiver that holds a water bladder. Forget who makes it. Get your sight tape dialed in...

    Accessing Landlocked BLM / Public land by air with paramotor para-glider ??

    Multiple causes of John Denver’s death. The aircraft builder moved a tank selector valve to a position behind the cockpit. It required trining around in the seat to actuate. The switch was reportedly not moved easily and required a lot of force to manipulate. He took off with low fuel in one...

    Cheap Stuff that Works

    Mine came today in sage green. It’s unbeatable at less than $30. I wore it outside I. 45 degree weather over a T-shirt and it is warm. I ordered another. Later this over a mid weight merino sweater and it will drive off a cold morning no problem.

    Accessing Landlocked BLM / Public land by air with paramotor para-glider ??

    As a career flyer in the USN, the last place I’d want to be would be in an experimental aircraft, fully exposed to the elements and environment, high in the Rocky Mountains, by myself, and at the mercy of winds, weather and my own skill. This has death and disaster plastered all over it.

    Start Applying This Year? CO.

    I don’t think this is a fair assessment. Wolves and elk have been playing their dance long before we showed up. As far as killing for enjoyment, I think that’s a far cry. Now I know full well the impact canines have on deer and the like, and I would guess it won’t be good but it’s. It an...

    Stan Onnex Click

    How do you like it? Does the click do anything to improve your shot routine? I’m looking at it as a two-stage trigger for a bow.

    Stan Onnex Click

    I shoot a Stan SX3 and I like it a lot but this click model looks interesting so I ordered one to try out. Anyone shoot them?

    If you could move anywhere?

    I retire from the USN in two years. I moving to eastern Idaho or western Montana. I have nothing to keep me in any particular place. Have some land in western PA and I’ll likely split my time.

    Start Applying This Year? CO.

    Looks like there’s big changes coming to OTC in CO. After four seasons of life and work getting in the way, this fall I’ll be finally going archery elk in CO. No great expectations except a good time in the wilderness, just seeing or hearing and elk will be enough to satisfy me beyond worlds...

    Colorado releases first 5 wolves

    I would not discount this as an anti hunting attempt to reduce tags because of natural predation and a liberal front to reduce hunter numbers.

    Colorado releases first 5 wolves

    I don’t have any skin in this game as a PA East coast whitetail hunter but I can say that canines are hard on deer here. We have coyotes out the wazoo. Ten years ago they were unheard of in my area. Now my 135 acres is filthy with them. Deer are on edge and mostly nocturnal now. I have watched...

    Let’s talk cordage

    Pcord. The paraloft had a 1000’ spool of OD green that they said was old and expired. Been using that for years. Might toss in a small bobbin of 50lb braid fishing line for little things.

    Body Weight vs Draw Weight

    I’m 6’4” 245ish and draw 70lbs at 52 years old. Might bring it down to 65lbs. Crushed my right wrist in a bicycling crash last spring and it’s not 100% now even after 6 months of rehab. I’ll have to live with it. But at 85% let off I’m holding ten pounds so see what the next six months brings.
