    My friends in the SEC, ACC, and Big 12

    Big XII says they’re playing fall sports, conference schedule only and pushed back start date (late Sept). This issue is SO layered - kids and coaches want to play. After Dedicating most of their Lives to them - why wouldn’t they? Schools will scream about the danger of spread and as case...

    Backpacking in Colorado

    Yes, room to camp at this area. Also one of the easiest 14ers in CO is right next to this lake (Quandary Peak-14,265). Trails here are out and back in general but you have about 20 trail options within about a 10 min from this area.

    Do you travel with a backup bow?

    Yes, always bring it, even if not traveling far. Same set up, site, same arrows, only difference is a TT smack down pro rest on back up bow I got for smoking deal on camofire. Lots of extra effort and cost, BUT I won’t ever lose a hunt because of failure on primary bow. Worth it to me. Have I...

    Thoughts on the new Bronco?

    Seems like they could appease those employees by showing them the door and referring them over to the Chevy plant

    What bino harness fits maven b4?

    I would lean toward the OV XL as I love that rig, but the older Sitka 12/15 harness should be big enough?

    Budget rifle with best stock?

    Bergara is by far my favorite stick that I’ve handled...and I’ve shopped around a lot. Still never bought one because of the overall starting weight - BUT the stock is still my favorite. If you’re not looking for sub 7.5-8lb weight, it should be considered. When I buy a bench and/or blind...

    What else should I be doing?

    I have struggled with this type of training, being from TX, vertical change is difficult to find. I hike 3-5 days a week almost all year long with weighted pack (30-40 lbs) and ramp up a bit in weight closer to season. I am always shocked by muscle fatigue in the Mtns come season. I still...

    Boot choice - Salomon and Asolo?

    Thors are 1.25 lbs ea, for the support and stiffness and materials used, that’s a pretty light weight boot in my experience.

    Hot spots on the balls of my feet. Solution??

    I would agree with the comments above about insoles being older or broken down. I wear two (overlapping) strips of Luekotape across the balls of my feet as preventive measures when I hike long or under heavier weight - my tape never comes off. Sounds like you’ve got a lot of movement and/or...

    Which Tarp Tent?

    I use the stratospire I and it works fine for 1 person and enough gear for about 3. The vestibules are great and provide enough room for more gear than you can carry. BUT, if I were given a do-over, I would go stratospire II. Plenty of room for 2 and a palace for 1, and you’d still get enough...

    Which one to trade for??

    Does deer = whitetail? Or mulies? Or both? I am a huge fan of the 243. Don’t take this the wrong way, but I started my teen son out with a 243 and he’s 21 now and still hunts with that caliber. It would definitely soften the recoil and be plenty of fun for whitetails and mulies unless your...
