    Punching a Tag or Adventure? What’s more Important?

    You can’t be using big words with a redneck like me. I’m from Louisiana and if that doesn’t tell you anything, look where we rank on education.

    Punching a Tag or Adventure? What’s more Important?

    So I’d like to say it’s about adventure for me. But if I'm being honest, looking back on what the deciding factors were on why I chose a particular unit, it came down to trophies. The unit I have been hunting holds some really big animals and I’m a non-apologetic trophy hunter. I like the...

    Punching a Tag or Adventure? What’s more Important?

    I’m really asking where your head is at when applying. Like should I go where I know I should be successful, or go see what else is out there for the fun of it. I agree both can be had in the same place you’ve always gone to. I just thought it’d be fun to talk about here during “application season”.

    Punching a Tag or Adventure? What’s more Important?

    Just curious on what you guys deem more important; to punch a tag or adventure. Now I believe in the ole’ saying that it’s better to hunt one place five times than five places one time. But after a few years, it becomes stale; even if you’re consistently successful. So what’s more important to...

    So whats this membership thing

    I’ll say that the $50 is well worth it. I’ve gotten so many great deals on here that I’ve easily made that $50 back and a few friends in the process.

    Is it worth it to go to a 0 degree SG Chilkoot bag?

    Yea man. Just unzip it and spread it out and there you go. It was in the 70s at night that week and we slept comfortably.

    Is it worth it to go to a 0 degree SG Chilkoot bag?

    Yes it’s worth it! Me and my wife both have 0 degree SG bags and love them. She said they’re worth every penny. We’ve even used them in the summer like quilts and slept comfortably. This past year, I slept in the back of my truck with one, was showered on, rain froze, and I never got cold or...

    EXO k4 or Stone Glacier?

    I’ve owned both. K3 and the x-curve frames. I personally like the SG better. Haven’t tried the K4. The SG lumbar fits me better. The k3 had the tendency to slide down. I’d also recommend going ahead and getting a bigger bag. I use the 7900 guide. Both Exo and SG packs can be synched down to...

    Money or Happiness

    I’ll also be the first to admit that I could use more faith in this area as well. I have the tendency to trust in money more that God. So I’m just as much talking to myself as I am you

    Money or Happiness

    “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body...

    WTB Swarovski Spotting Scope

    Looking to buy a Swarovski spotter. I’m primarily a backpack style hunter but don’t consider myself an ounce counter. Looking to see what you’re willing to part with. I’m also open to other brands but I’d prefer Swaro.
