    Trekking poles again.

    Understand, I do seek out best prices but i pretty much always get really good quality gear too. In this case its not so much a case of what to spend its more of a case of i don't know what product and material will serve me best. I buy good scopes, backpacks, rifles, boots and reload with good...

    Trekking poles again.

    Thanks guys. I considered Black Diamond Aluminum and some of the Leki. I'm not saying I'm against carbon fiber just wasn't sure if they could handle my weight should i loose balance with a pack on as well as Aluminum. As far as Cascade mountain i considered them in carbon fiber but again they...

    Trekking poles again.

    So have been reading everything on here about trekking poles i can. I backpack hunt and am looking to get a set of poles. I've been trying to get hip replacement surgery for nearly 2 years with the VA. They canceled my surgery last January. Getting new date for surgery in a couple days so it...

    Women's Warm Layer Recommendations

    I would suggest the older style military Extreme cold weather polypropylene base layer. top has a 1/4 zip bottoms have the guy opening. I wore them a number of times in the Marines in the artic. They are fantastic. I have 2 sets now i wear hunting. they don't make them in women's fit or style...

    Thank you. Yes i used cameras before and first week or 2 of season. Yep, was a couple real bruisers, one in particular. Its why i was so determined to find a way. They have pretty much everything they need right in that stuff.

    Thanks everyone for the insight. Many of the things said make a lot of sense. I agree before season I saw cam pictures of couple truly really nice bucks entering and exiting from a small draw in the cut. Mostly evenings n mornings. Just before and first week of season only pics of any deer were...

    Thanks for the insight and help. I realize that there are some very knowable folks on here and one of the reasons i joined was to get wisdom beyond mine. I respect everyone's responses and value them all. I have always believed that a smart person learns from there mistakes and a wise person...

    Spika ???

    I just spent a ton of time past couple months researching packs. Ive run Military Issue type and Mystery Ranch previously and been very happy with the Mystery ranch. I was looking for something bigger for 3-5 day hunts and able to carry out meat. I ended up ordering a New Mystery Ranch 80 with...

    LoL. sounds like fresh venison heart tonight screamingpotato. Zap, Why don't you think clearing a couple lanes during winter and keeping them clipped till season would be a way to make hunting in that stuff possible? I'm sorry if i miss led someone I'm hunting with a muzzleloader and rifle...

    I really appreciate everyone's input and ideas. Thank you all. I think I'm going to try some of my last year other spots and a few new ones this year maybe a day or two at the clear cut if things look right. I'm going to take yall's advise and after season this winter trim up few trails back in...

    Frustrated

    when i was younger where i grew up i had plenty of relatives and we all hunted. After first few days of season we would put on drives for those family members that hadn't gotten what they needed yet. Was definably a great way to get them. I was hunting with a friend i had been in the Marines...

    Your favorite hunting knife?

    I carry 3 normally. I guess it depends on what is needed. I carry a outdoor edge in my pack for skinning and butchering. Old pocket knife I've had for 30+ years for general use and a Kurki Knife for fire wood, brush use and anything a pocket knife cant do. If i had to only have one i would pick...

    I agree the adventure and experience means a lot. I had easy private land to hunt deer in the past but have enjoyed backpack hunting as well as camping always. Keeping the freezer is filled by winter is important to me but i enjoy the adventure and experience the most. I like getting away from...

    Good advise Rich M. I did the cameras last year and feel confidant i know the trails used. The dang critters just don't come in or out per the cameras only in darkness. before season they did day and night but after couple days after season it was only at night. I agree its looking like only...

    Frustrated

    Agree. I've noticed most hunters don't go more than 1 mile in. much less mostly. I have been going much farther. I had an area way back in that i really wanted to go last year but never got to go. Its about 6 miles to hike in. I can put in my canoe and go about 3 miles and set up a camp then...

    Thanks nosajnh I did last winter after season. I dressed like a medieval knight and went into the crazy stuff. found good trails and few higher rises they were bedding at too. I just think it wouldn't be realistic to go in and get up a tree if one was found near by. the cover height i believe...

    I agree with making a hidden trail. I went online satellite back in history and saw where the old roads were they used when cutting that area thinking i could find some easier way in. I also went in this past winter on a couple deer trails but dang its crazy thick back in too. stuff is bit to...

    I'm not saying i didn't have any luck on other areas just this spot with the cut over. It had some really nice deer in it. (from cameras before season ) guess that's why that area had such good deer. lol

    Frustrated

    I agree on the crazy thick spots. I just figured if i did get way up in a tree in the thick area it would be really hard to locate where the shot deer was once i got down out of the tree and went looking for it. Plus even if i quartered or boned out the meat and tried to packed it out would be...
