    How do you pay for your gear?

    Wants vs needs for sure. The nice thing about hunting is most clothing, optics, guns, etc, is all stuff that lasts “forever” so when you buy you’re not replacing it every couple years or so. So when you make a big purchase or two a year, you’ll blink and have everything you need by year 5 and...

    2024 Best Mule Deer Hunt Photo Contest, sponsored by Kryptek

    Drew a special unit tag in Montana after 13 year wait. This was the worst year to get a draw a special unit tag for us. My husband had a major double knee surgery in March, to remove a cyst and meniscus repair on the left knee and the right knee was his 3rd ACL/total knee repair including a bone...

    Training for Rope-Under-the Tail

    Riding and training horses isn’t linear and that’s pretty typical. You will always have to revisit things like sacking them out on occasion. And if you don’t ride them for long periods of time err on the side of caution and just assume there not broke until proven otherwise. Like on the other...

    Training for Rope-Under-the Tail

    I didn’t watch the video when i responded. Here is what i see now I dont think having the makeshift crouper tied under the hoses tail and ran up onto the halter is very smart and here is why. Stock horses get the best engagement in their muscles (their core, back, hamstrings) by being “long...

    Training for Rope-Under-the Tail

    I would double check that the horse is truly comfortable with the rope and there aren’t any holes elsewhere. My bet is there probably is Few things to try -Pat Puckett has a few great YouTube videos on roping a horses hind feet when the horse is tied. But you could start with a lunge line...

    Breaking Rules, Tack, and Everything Else: My DIY Horseback Hunting Chronicle

    I’m glad it was super helpful. It was hard not to be blunt but i could see where things were headed to train wreck status pretty fast. The things you’re struggling with are things all horsemen face and can be fixed by exercises like the videos you posted. Not rare but uncommon will someone come...

    Sportsman’s Warehouse

    The SW in my town sucks too. They went through a big remodel few years back and they’ve gone downhill since. Same with Cabelas too. Scheels can take all my money. Only place i choose the shop locally for hunting/outdoors gear Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dog wont eat dry food well

    If you’ve decided that he’s healthy enough to not need any added human food, top dressing, etc why not just plunk the bowl full of food on the floor and see how long it takes for him to start eating? Eventually he’ll probably get hungry but just watch and see how he does over a 2 days or so...

    Animal reaction after match bullet?

    All our family hunts with is Berger Bullets. Specifically my husband and I use the OTM tacticals 300 grains out of our Lapua. With all the elk we’ve killed using these bullets (probably close to a dozen or so) all but maybe 3 or 4 have dropped on the spot. The couple others stuttered off and...

    Breaking Rules, Tack, and Everything Else: My DIY Horseback Hunting Chronicle

    100% agree. When i was back into horses from after a 12 year break i took lessons up to 3x a week. But i was also getting back into showing too and was wanting to work on more technical things that a recreational rider doesn’t need. But it helped so much. The biggest blessing was it helped...

    Breaking Rules, Tack, and Everything Else: My DIY Horseback Hunting Chronicle

    Ok I’m going to offer my 2 cents and hope it helps. I’m trying to do this on my phone not on the computer so it’s not going to be as pretty as I’d like it to be. Bear with me: “Go about 500m and stop. *Visible Confusion* “How the heck do I mount while holding a pony rope in my hand?” Still...

    Breaking Rules, Tack, and Everything Else: My DIY Horseback Hunting Chronicle

    Flattered i made the “list” of well respected horse people thank you! Your post made me laugh because it’s 100% accurate. Glad your having tons of fun with this journey. Funny that the horse world in general is mostly female dominated but on this forum i think i might be the only one that...

    Headache with Costa sunglasses?

    I maybe would take them into the glasses store and see if they can check them over and see if they fit. Have you had your eyes checked recently? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Back into horses

    I would never advocate for the use of synthetic saddles either The tree of any saddle is designed to distribute the weight of the rider. And these saddles (and other cheap mass produced saddle for that matter) have saddle trees that are not made to last. Wood/rawhide are traditional but some...
