    Suppressed vs Non-Suppressed Hunting

    Oh please, here we go again with the concussion thing. I’ve never shot on any kind of firing line or a rifle range. Lots of open blm land where we shoot and no one else around. I’ll keep doing what I do and you can do what you do. No need to make it so personal and start calling people names and...

    Suppressed vs Non-Suppressed Hunting

    Great post. Agree 100%. Be careful what you say on Rokslide about kids shooting with a brake though. The diehards will call you brain dead and how terrible of a dad you are for letting them shoot a braked rifle. I brought up one time exactly what you said in your #3 and man oh man guys sure got...

    Suppressed vs Non-Suppressed Hunting

    Nope, not brain dead yet….I’m just not a fan of cool aid. 🤣 Also, why do the die hard supporters of suppressors automatically think that brake shooters are not using hearing protection? Notice I said hearing protection and not “ear pro”. That term drives me insane enough to be brain dead. I’m...

    Arrow build question?

    I like a mid weight arrow to possibly leaning to a touch heavy. Gives me a good trajectory still and the benefit of a little weight. I choose an arrow that’s at least 9 grains per inch and then add weight up front with broadhead and insert. Doesn’t take much up front when the overall arrow is...

    No More Peak Meals For Me After This Order

    I didn't like Heather’s Choice either, except for the packaroons. Not a fan of Peak at all. I might try Adventure Well meals. If the giant freeze dryers I used for taxidermy were still operational I would be pumping out my own freeze dried meals. For now, hunting from a truck camp I use pre...

    Bring sharpener for fixed blade or ditch it for a Havalon?

    Wall tents

    Davis tents or wall tent shop. I only have a 10x14 Kodiak flexbow but it works pretty well. Next tent I buy if I don’t buy a bumper pull trailer will be a Davis with the awning extension or maybe the cook shack extension.

    Suppressed vs Non-Suppressed Hunting

    I live in the west and hike plenty of mountains and miles. Still won’t hunt with a suppressor. Also, when I hunt a tree stand it’s usually a long ways in from most roads and during archery season anyways. Wait, maybe I can figure out how to use a suppressor on my bow? 🤣

    New Mexico Public Land Black Bear

    Just like anything else I guess. Find a spot with good sign and set up so you can see all around you. They could come in behind you just as easily as in front. I even called in a big old Coyote one time with a turkey call and a turkey decoy. I watched that Coyote perk up and change course once I...

    Suppressed vs Non-Suppressed Hunting

    Yep, me too. Baldness and shaved head since I was about 22 years old. Started losing hair as a senior in high school! 🤦🏼‍♂️

    Tucson / Nogales Help or Donation

    Not bein a whiny ass Democrat. Been a Republican and voted Republican since I was 18. Just trying to understand why OP wouldn’t bring the meat home when there are many perfectly good options to bring it home easily. Many, many hunters fly out all over North America and Canada every year and...

    Tucson / Nogales Help or Donation

    I read it just fine. The use of words like “our bounty” “we have decided to fly” made me assume that there is more than one person involved in this hunt. I realize that the only ones going could be OP and his son plus maybe one more person with having the possibility of 3 deer. It gets pretty...

    Interesting take you have on it. Since when do airlines not let you fly with meat? Debone the meat and put it into a cooler once it’s cooled out properly. Tape the cooler shut and check the coolers as extra baggage. Put frozen water jugs in the cooler when you get home. It will stay cold for a...

    Bring sharpener for fixed blade or ditch it for a Havalon?

    I actually hate a flexible knife for deboning. I prefer a stiff or a semi stiff knife. At work I use a 6” curved semi stiff victorinox knife, a 5”, a 8” breaking knife, and a 6” straight stiff knife for all trimming and deboning. Used a 5” curved semi in the field for many years. I made a sheath...

    Bring sharpener for fixed blade or ditch it for a Havalon?

    Use a fixed blade and bring a small steel for touch up. There are also small lightweight coarse sharpeners you can bring if you think you need it then use a fine steel. Should be fine with a sharp knife and just a steel. I used my MKC Blackfoot knife on my elk in September and never touched it up.

    Even better is to become a better shot and only need to shoot once. 🤣

    Knives

    I actually took the Havalon out of my pack this year. Strictly use the MKC now. It’s the Blackfoot model. I hate a knife wrapped in paracord like the Speedgoat. I much prefer some kind of fixed blade instead of a folder. Only folding knife I use is my edc but I’m working over to a fixed blade...

    New Mexico Public Land Black Bear

    Food, water, wait. The other option is to use predator calls. More specifically, a calf in distress works well.
