    Buck To Doe Ratio?

    Impossible question to answer without knowing your deer density per sq mile buck and does seperate. Dig around on your states website sometimes they will have this info broken down to the township or county level. I disagree with not shooting does. It is all about balance and you should try to...

    I don't live in IA and have not hunted that state . In my home state I live 4.5 hours away from where I hunt and have had a problem with locals tresspassing on my land for decades, sitting my stands, killing deer , road hunting, using it for a lovers lane you name it. I'm sick and tired of it...

    30-30 Copper ammo (Barnes) penciled through Whitetail Buck this morning...thoughts?

    Honestly for the 30-30 Barnes would not be my first choice. The 30-30 screams cup and core. Plain old Core lokt's have probably killed more whitetail than any other in the 30-30. Second would be the leverevolutions by Hornady. It is a moderate speed short range rig and it won't ever be anything...

    30-30 Copper ammo (Barnes) penciled through Whitetail Buck this morning...thoughts?

    I have been shooting the TSX and TTSX exclusively for over 20 years. Canadian Whitetail, Caribou, Bear, Moose, Mt Goat, Muleys are on the menu. If you are looking for a gigantic exit wound you can forget about it. What you received is what is to be expected with the Barnes and most other...

    Arrow speed

    I'm shooting an old Mathews MQ32 at 62 lbs with a beman 400's and steelforce 100gr head. My speed is in the 280's. No issues with passthrough on elk , deer and caribou. Funny thing- Went into the local inddor range not to long ago and the guys were asking me when I was going to dump this relic...

    Feedback on Whitetail Shot

    (y)OP- I admire your persistence and follow up on the recovery of this deer. Although it may not have been the complete outcome you desired this is nothing to quit bow hunting over. 2025 will be my 50th season of learning and evolving in this sport. You made a memory this year that will help you...

    Lowa Tibet GTX Hi on Clearance

    I have a pair of these . The boot itself is good quality. The only downfall is the PU sole. I’m about to send a pair to Dave Page to be resoled because they disintegrated. I had a pair of Meindel’s do the same thing. The boot will outlast the sole by a long shot as long as you go into it knowing...

    Favorite deerstand?

    My opinion only so take it for what you paid for it. I have a fair amount of stands and consider them situational. Each one has a purpose and a “best” application. Early season bow hunting on public is light weight hang on’s with sticks . Private ground bow hunting are a mix of climbers and hang...

    Suburban Deer

    The eastern part of my county is fairly rural and has some large chunks of public to hunt on. The western part of the county is all heavy residential. About 10 years ago they started opening up some of the western townships to bow hunting. They had not been hunted in a century. Guys were killing...

    Best Lightweight 0 Degree Sleeping Bag?

    For synthetic the Wiggys Ultima Thule is a -20 and lands at 5 lbs. Down bags such as the Western Mountaineering Kodiak and Antelope MF ,NorthFace Inferno will be lighter by almost half. Only thing with down is if it gets wet it looses it insulative properties and will take a year and a day to...

    Truck Batteries

    I’m in year 8 on my factory ac delco lead acids in the duramax Silverado. Just had them tested and they are still good to go. I have purchased interstate and Dekka before and only get 4 years out of them on the boat and it’s plugged in when not in use.

    Good work gloves???

    Watching this closely. I cut and split 13 cord a couple weeks ago and couldn’t get a full day out of leather gloves. Must have burned through 7 pair. The finger tips were the first thing to go.
