    TRT Anyone?

    Find a new doctor and pay out of pocket for the T. Most docs are idiots when it comes to wellness, nutrition and aging.

    TRT Anyone?

    New doctor I found after moving is Russian. My level was over 1k and she wanted it higher, also wanted my E2 higher. She asked if I'd be willing to try the increase and I said yes. Everything seems good overall, can't tell that much than when it was 1000-1100. I believe you really need your...

    Make sure you start around a grain or so less than with "normal" brass, LC has less internal room.

    I have the full rut extreme jacket, bought on camofire for i think 109. Its quiet, windproof and a good mid season jacket. I run cold when sitting and need a few layers if its in the 30's. Its not light, but not heavy either. You can Ranger roll it into its hood and its not huge to pack. I...

    Roughly what temperature would a jacket with 133gm Prmaloft Gold be good in, sitting still, not moving? I know nothing is exact, but trying to get an idea what this would compare to.

    Nightforce shv 3-10 vs Vortex Viper PST gen 2 2-10 or 3-15

    The one 2-10 pst ffp i looked through i thought the reticle sucked. I like ffp reticle that are designed correctly, but this was way too thin. That was awhile ago, and maybe they've changed, but for hunting, I wouldn't want it.

My spine is fused to my hip on the left, I have an extra Sacral vertebrae and they are wider than normal. My hips get out of alignment in two different ways, mostly...

    I bought the Stratus bibs this year and OR puffy pants. I wore both separately in mid-high 30's with wind. Had on light weight merino bottoms and Wrangler pants.

    Packs for mobile hunting

    A saddle and using one stick will lighten your load. You can use about any pack when its warm, but for cold weather, carrying clothes i like a frame pack. I used a Pintler this year and it worked well.

    Release Question

    I have a Carter Quickie wrist and shoot it with backtension. I do best with a lighter trigger myself, and really like this release. I do want to try a thumb or hinge this year, mostly to be able to leave it attached to the string in the tree.

    Go to Saddlehunter.com and begin reading. Thus was my first year using one. There is a learning curve but I feel it's worth it. Research and then you will need to try things out for yourself. Its another tool to have. There's situations its the best option and others where its not. Don't look at...
