    Public land hunting in VA and WVA

    An older thread but I thought I would post anyway. Something is certainly wrong if you cannot find good hunting on the George and Jefferson National forests. They are approximately 1.8 Million acres. I have killed deer, bear, Turkey and Grouse on public property with bow, muzzleloader, shotgun...

    Favorite Sign

    "Curious to hear what everyone’s favorite/confidence sign is to hunt? I.e. if you could only pick one, would you setup on a game trail, rub, scrape, fresh poop, chewed up acorns, etc. Still after my first whitetail, but so far trail intersections have led to the most deer sightings for me (all...

    Wind over valley/hollow

    Curious as to how you would hunt a ridge that overlooks a relatively small hollow. Wind is coming from the southwest and angles over the right shoulder and over the hollow that is relatively small. Elevation is about 200 to 300 in feet. On the other side of the hollow is a large open hay field...

    Range medical kit

    Your list is extensive and way above what most outdoors people carry or know how to use. A basic first aid kit, perhaps commercial would suffice in most situations. Personally I would not perform advanced techniques even tho trained. A good form of communication for the area you're in is...

    CO wolves coming from ODFW

    This will certainly be an interesting experiment over the long run.

    Case for carrying targets

    Check with a map maker or supplier. I had some topo maps made up and laminated. They came in a cylindrical plastic tube that screws apart in the middle. I keep the case in my truck and it keeps the maps clean, dry and easy to access. They come in all sizes. Below is an example although much...

    Overcoming Fainting at Injury?

    I think you are also confusing Pre-syncope with Syncope. "Pre-syncope is the feeling that you are about to faint. Someone with pre-syncope may be lightheaded (dizzy) or nauseated, have a visual "gray out" or trouble hearing, have palpitations, or feel weak or suddenly sweaty. When discussing...

    Overcoming Fainting at Injury?

    "Just takes practice. Keep cutting" Maybe death by a thousand cuts? Sorry poor taste but I could not resist. Suggest you not hunt or hike the back country alone.

    Seeking Best Idaho Fish and Game Attorney

    I am reading many threads as far back as they will take me. A lot of good and interesting information on this forum. Basically the whole post hit me wrong: seemed as if there was bullying and the comments were inappropriate at times. Plus the OP was not replying making me feel he was...

    Groundblind vs ladder stand

    I hunt tree stands both lock on and ladder. I also use ground blinds. I like the Ameristep two person blind. It's great in the rain and especially in the colder months. I generally do not hunt food plots but when I have them I like to stay back and hunt the trails leading to the plot and not the...

    A better tree setup

    Well I hope you find what you're looking for and I can't comment to much on the other brands because I have been using the Summit for at least 20+ years. But I am curious about the Woodsey too stand so looked it up on Texas Direct for 449.. Did not realize it was a hang on. Our types of hunting...

    Seeking Best Idaho Fish and Game Attorney

    Dug up? Only two weeks ago? You should look for some other posts I have replied to as some are much older. Yes, I did. Forum members are just basically trashing the guy. I have no idea if his story is legit but chewing over it in a continuously negative fashion is not good for either the PO or...

    A better tree setup

    I see you have discounted Summit mainly due to the Chinese construction. I purchased my Climbers 10 and 20 years ago and have found them trusty and stable with all the leg room you could possibly need. My climbers were made in the US. I am sure the Chinese are made to the same specs. So you...

    Mobile stand setup 2023

    I must be out of tune with the current treestand culture. Never used a treestand out West. In the East I have a couple Summit Climbers and use several vintage climbers off e-bay. I also use ladder stands on private land. Whatever works and is comfortable is the go to way in my opinion. Saddles...

    Seeking Best Idaho Fish and Game Attorney

    Well after reading this post it appears that the OP has been convicted by the Rokslide Jury. I cannot fathom why someone would open themselves up to such ridicule by posting his "issue" on a public forum. This post should be locked in my opinion. Let us all learn from others fallacies.

    The One Gun Hunter

    Can't say I am a one gun hunter but as for rifle I have been shooting a Browning A bolt 30-06 for fifteen years. Prior to that it was a 7mm Mag for twenty. So I would call myself a part time one gun rifle hunter. It's no wonder the Europeans call Americans gun Crazy with our obsession with...

    Young hunter struck by lighting

    Scary, I frequently sit in a blind during bad weather, even thunderstorms with lightening. Seems that father and daughter had their blind set up in the woods edge and a close by tree was struck by lightening. We can all learn from this tragic accident. Hopefully, the family will get their...
