    9 year old first deer hunt with a rifle, any suggestions!

    That new 6mm ARC round that Hornaday came out with would be ideal. Ballistically, its pretty close to 243, but form-factor would fit in an AR-15 and have almost no recoil. I'm actually thinking about putting together a new AR chambered in this round just for fun

    Overlooked SUVs

    I loved my Xterra. I had a 2012 Pro4X, it was amazingly capable off road. I put 160k miles on it with no issues, had all intentions of keeping for many more years to come, but a little mule deer buck that decided to step out in front of me had other plans. Insurance totaled it and gave me way...

    Camper vs Tent?

    Lots of different ways and thoughts on this. Expedition Portal is a good website for ideas. I wanted to maintain the "utility" of my trailer somewhat, to be able to use it for other things. But I have seen lots of them with built in kitchen slide outs, integrated tents, onboard water, etc. I...

    Don't be a sucker!

    Ive used large white pillow cases for game bags for years. I also have some tag bags, and other than the draw string and reflective stuff on them, no difference. I just cinch up the top of the pillow case and tie them closed with blaze orange 550 cord. I do like the large elk size tag bags...

    What’s everyone’s favorite lunch when hunting and hiking the mountains?

    On backpack hunts, I like to use Orowheat whole wheat Sandwich thins. They pack well because they are flat, and packed inside a gallon ziploc with my days provisions, they stay intact and dont get crushed. Ill usually make a sandwich with a couple packs of Justins peanut butter or a pack of...

    Most Comfortable Vehicle for Forest Roads

    My previous vehicle was a Nissan Xterra Pro-4x. It had the upgraded Bilstein suspension and was awesome on rough roads and trails. My new 4Runner TRD is just as nice although haven’t put enough off highway miles on it for a direct comparison. Seems just as good if not a bit better so far though

    DIY Arrow Wraps

    Sure, here is the site I use. I actually just ordered some more last week. I order the 651 vinyl on 12x12 matte sheets. https://smashinginkvinyl.com/products/custom-printed-vinyl-sheets?_pos=1&_sid=bdc00e741&_ss=r&variant=19519385862241

    Yellowstone/Glacier vacation

    My family and I love Glacier. Last year we went and got one of the cabins on Lake McDonald. That was really nice. Still had to get up before daylight if you wanted to get over Going to the Sun and find parking up there, but it was really awesome. We saw bighorns, mountain goats and a momma griz...

    Bad Boys Arrow Sleeves

    Unless you were already pretty severely over-spined, I don't see how adding an additional 200gr. to front of an arrow wouldn't necessitate a stiffer spine? (ie. go from 350s to 300s or from 300s to 250s) I would be worried about alignment. I had a bunch of problems just using the Black...

    Colorado OTC - Shooter?

    In an OTC unit, I’ll shoot any legal elk lol. Getting at least one elk in the freezer is my goal each year, I’m not very picky! Now when I draw a really good tag, then I’ll focus on being a little more selective. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Best midsize Pickup?

    I put 280k trouble free miles on a Nissan Titan, then 160k more trouble free miles on a Nissan Xterra before hitting a deer with it. I was really torn on replacing the Xterra with a pickup as I had really come to enjoy the Xterra and smaller SUVs for my style of hunting and outdoors. I seriously...

    Blood pressure meds

    I’ll mirror the strict adherence piece. That is critical for me. If I deviate, it’s noticeable. Again though, I would rather eat healthy live a healthy lifestyle everyday than take a pill everyday. It’s carvedilol that I was on that damn near ruined my life. Over the course of a year, I bet I...

    Blood pressure meds

    Oh wanted to add, getting high blood pressure under control is so important. I’m 47 years old, and I was always so stubborn about going to the doctor, or monitoring my BP. I knew it ran in my family, and for years I knew I had it, all the while, drinking Mountain Dews, smoking, drinking alcohol...

    Blood pressure meds

    I’ve been on diovan hct and a beta blocker. I absolutely hated the way they made me feel. The beta blocker drug me down into really deep depression. I told my new cardiologist that I didn’t want to be on meds at all. I went on a very low sodium diet, exercise every day, and eat mainly...

    Hiring an outfitter to pack elk out?

    Make friends with guys that own good backpacks and are in great shape… Listen, I get it, packing a bull out, especially solo, sucks ass. I don’t care how internet tough you claim to be, it hurts, it sucks, it damn near makes you cry. I get that it’s part of the journey, but I feel you have an...

    I need tent help

    What brand and model tent is it? 5x7 tarp in my opinion is not big enough. I would either buy a bigger tarp, or play around with the tent and see if you can figure out how to set it up rainfly only. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    camper shell, truck camper or camper shell with clamshell tent

    I love the idea of the GFC’s but man are they expensive!! I love the idea of being able to stand up to get dressed in the morning or even to just stretch. I ended up going with a 4Runner so I could sleep in the back of it, but if I were to go pickup again, I’d definitely go with a clamshell...

    Hunting Whitetail In The Fog

    They likely still came in, circled downwind and smelled you without you seeing them. whitetail dont use their eyes all that much, they are driven by their noses, then by sound. Rattling can be a good tactic for sure, but the biggest thing is knowing where the does bed. In November, if you can...

    Is a 70 pound bow with an Iron Will broad head enough to blow through an elk at 60-70 yards?

    Draw weight is almost irrelevant…. Broadhead brand is almost irrelevant…. Arrow flight (ie. Are you tuned with perfect arrow flight?) arrow weight, arrow speed, broadhead sharpness, broadhead design. These are the important factors. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Camper vs cargo

    Caveat, I don’t own either LOL, so take that into consideration. I hunt a lot of places that are miles and miles off pavement. I do see nice RVs out there, but everyone I’ve personally known that’s had one has complained about stuff breaking on them constantly. Especially dragging them across...
