    Smk for deer hunting?

    YMMV I've shot ~10 deer with 115g 270 caliber smk. All 10 dropped on the spot and the bullets liquefied the heart and lungs. I've read on forums that some people have seen the smk pencil through without expansion or bullet deformation. I stopped using them when I found copper jacket in the...

    Sharpening Knives in the Field

    It all depends on the grit you finish the sharpening to. A blade finished at 8K grit is sharp but won't feel sharp. But if its a kitchen knife it'll push through whatever you're cutting with ease I sharpen hunting blades to ~1200 grit 800-1200 will get your hair to pop but will drag and be...

    Hellbender to Ark frame “fix”

    I like this. I started to carry my climbing sticks and platform with my HB/Ark config but if I'm hunting a fixed stand or elk dayhunt, this would solve the saggy butt problem. Thanks for posting

    Sharpening Knives in the Field

    in theory you should be able to clean up an edge in the field using a piece of river rock.. Its nice and smooth you can can control what part of the blade is hitting the stone. But you must be doing some hardcore butchery if you've messed up a fresh edge in the field

    Newsom signs bill banning single-use propane cylinders popular with campers

    Thats really weird.. They are made of 100% recycle-able materials Also they're only single use if you choose not to re-fill them

    Aron Snyder leaving Kifaru

    Unless Aron was bought out, he's probably just taking a step back from being "face of the company" . There is some joint partnership with BP and Kifaru, so he's probably moving to BP to work on product development. Hopefully he'll also push them to be an American manufacturer like Origin.

    When you buy a New one what do you do with the old one?

    keep one as a trainer?? I'll probably buy a new bow in 5 or 6 years, and get a set of 50# limbs for the old bow so I can shoot super light arrows and the new bow will be like a 65# bow

    Your Top FIXED blade BH

    Finally connected a deer with a IW wide. The wides will tell you how in tune your bow is. It is not a forgiving setup, but man I've never seen a deer go down that quick ever. Frontal shot through the neck and out liver. Skimmed the topof the heart. She fell over backwards because I think she...

    Did you forget your rifle in the Mendocino NF?

    almost lost my gun last year while coon hunting. I set the gun down against a tree to go pee. As I was peeing the dog started barking up a nearby tree and after peeing I walked over to him before realizing i set teh gun down. Black stock gun on a moonless night can be hard to find.

    Deer Rock Knives

    I've been carrying this knife for a few weeks now and only used it for some simple task like cutting twine or cutting up an apple or a steak. Finally used it on a deer. The weight on this knife is soo great, and it fits nicely in the hand due to handle shape. Even when fully covered in blood...

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    yes? Success is measured by recovered animal and speed of kill. I took an archery shot this past weekend that most would probably chastise me for. Its the 2nd time i've made this shot and it was a zero tracking recovery. Deer fell over on the spot. Yes archery. Its a frontal from elevated...

    Your brain on microplastics?

    The problem is much bigger than "just fluoride" or "just microplastics".. Our issues with health and body development are multi-faceted. The issues are the culmination of all the things; ie-poor food quality(even fresh vegetables at the grocery store), poor food choices, food chemical exposure...
