    If you were just starting out what pack would you buy?

    You mentioned Alps. Sign up for email with them and they give a discount code. Maybe it will be enough for you to try the Elite pack system. 3800 would be nice vs the smaller 1800 bag they offer. There is a 2 part video of pack reviews for 2023 here somewhere.

    Do you bow hunt during gun season?

    I prefer bowhunting. But walking around the woods with a rifle is enjoyable also. Our gun season starts basically right after leaf drop is complete. Open hardwood hunting is much better with a long range weapon.

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    The evidence as I see it. Less powder, less brass and less lead per round. Guys here are singlehandedly responsible for elimination of ammo shortages.

    Anyone shoot rifled slugs through rifled shotgun barrel?

    If anyone wants to buy a H&R 20 gauge slug gun, I can include ammo. :) Hardly worth offering that since it's only a few rounds. But no low baller, I know what I got:) I'm disappointed to hear how rare the ammo has become because I think the 20 gauge sabot round is a good one. Seem to remember...

    Ground hunting pressured whitetails

    One point that I reflect on with past kills on the ground. I went to the deer. Hiked with my swivel 5gallon bucket until the sign was hot. Often that was a funnel type of vegetation or terrain. Fun, but you only get does generally. The two small openings at 45 degrees comment sure is good...

    Short window Missouri hunts

    Trust your scouting for a hunt or two. In central southern MO, they are on acorns right now. And Sun and Mon scrapes have been opening up. With a solid week of hunting, something good should happen.

    The majority of ebikes are HEAVY and have wide tires. What rack are you using? I'm going to be in the market since my 2 bike rack was a cheapie from local hardware store. Can't trust big money on a cheap rack.

    Vortex Razor HD 16-48x65 Angled Spotting Scope

    I also have the Athlon 65mm. It's difficult with eyeglasses. And Razor has a mm or two more eye relief. I'm probably not going to try it but for the price, you can always get your money back.

    Always, always check your tree stand for any possible issues. Had a cable break today when I was in the stand.

    Tied in from the first step up is best. I lost my archery mentor from treestand accident. He was prepping stands in summer and fell. PLEASE wear safety gear even with ladder stands.

    IRA Guidance

    Try an S and P 500 index. Super low expense ratio with low risk and decent return. Better than a target date fund. Set and forget. Mark the returns for reinvestment. Worry about hunting, not fund prospectus, market timing, earnings report blah blah blah.

    FNG Check in from Hellinois

    Welcome. The state nickname should be officially adopted by legislature. But they are busy with other important stuff. Naming Post offices, ummm I'm sure they are busy with something .

    New to hunting..whitetail as an adult- gear check list / help.

    Early season hunts in the Midwest are extremely difficult without a Thermocell. Darn skeeters.
