    Youth hunting rifle

    The only issue I have with some of these other calibers is I have not seen them in a youth size rife. My son really needs the shorter length of pull on the rifle.

    Gear for the hunt

    No worries, we have some time. While reading about this stuff is ok and pictures are good seeing someone actually doing the activity and hearing their reasoning behind the decissions is great. I am a very visual person and to see the pro staffers doing this and explaining is a huge plus. Keep...

    Gear for the hunt

    Dang the DT2 can hold a bunch! You make mention of a food video is that in the works? I think I have a pretty good handle on the food but it is always interesting to see what others bring. This might be the most informative forum on the site.

    david, How do you like the Bohning Helix Tower Jig? I have used the Blazer Helix Jig quite a bit how does the Tower Jig compare? Is the Tower Jig as precise as the Blazer Jig?

    Encouragment in trying to lose weight/get fit

    For me I have found running to be a great form of exercise, I take flack when I tell people I run on a treadmill all the time but it works for my family. When I started a year ago I was luck to run 3 miles in 45 minutes, tonight I did 7 miles in 50 minutes and had recovered to my resting heart...

    Encouragment in trying to lose weight/get fit

    I will chime in on this with my own experience. I lost my dad about 18 months ago at the age of 64 due to diabetes related health issues. It was a real slap in the face for me. As a person that was very athletic I had settled into a sedentary life style. We all know the drill here, married, with...

    Youth hunting rifle

    I was thinking a reduced hand load would be doable for the 08. I grew up shooting a 6mm and would not even consider it for anything larger than a whitetail. I have had bad experiences that I will not go into with the 243 sized caliber. Does the 08 have enough knock down to work for elk? I would...

    Youth hunting rifle

    I am in the market to find a rifle for my son who will be hunting this fall. He is a light weight not very big for a 12 yr. old. He will need a youth model with a short stalk. I am stuck between a 308 and a 7mm08. I know nothing about the 7mm08 caliber and in sight or thought would be greatly...

    calorie burning

    I would suggest a heart rate monitor that keeps track of the calories as well as your zone heart rate. I have a Polar FT7 that I picked up at Best Buy for around $100.00. If not there are many websites that will allow you to put in your exercise and it will give you a rough idea as to how many...

    Mathews Heli-m

    I have had the heli-m for for a month. I upgraded from an orgional Switchback and it was worth the wait. I will give Evan props he did a great job setting it up. I hope that does not go to his head. I cannot wait to get it in the woods and try it out. Headed up for turkeys this weekend.

    Midday Hunting

    Hunt sun up to sun down most days. I might find some dark timber eat something and sit and call or listen and move on from time to time. I am there to hunt not to sleep.
