Depends on the unit I’m hunting for me. I’ve done a little bit of everything. Generally the easier to draw tags are gonna be crammed by roads with people, so I plan on hunting off my back. I grew up with stock but haven’t gotten into a position to afford them again so it’s all off my back on the...
While I was writing my reply, he was the exact guy I thought of when burn out crossed my mind. I think if most guys spent as much time as he did doing what he does, they burn right out and probably give up the lifestyle for something with easier reward.
From my perspective, it seems the guys that kill big deer (170+ with 200+ mixed in fairly often compared to a other hunters), they spend all there time on the same species, or at least 90% of their time. I’m sure hunting other species helps a little bit, and maybe you could get to be a really...
I grew up always wanting to own my own company, so I could do what I want when I want to….. You know how that goes.;) Now I can do what I want when I want with A LOT of strings attached! Haha.
I hope I can make sound business decisions so that it continues to grow and give me freedom.
Looks...
I soaked my harness then put in two pieces of pipe that were bigger than the binos. Left them in the harness until it dried, and then the binos slid in and out great.
And they’re always so informative!! I love hearing you and Travis get into deer and what you’ve learned about them recently, hunting related or biologically.
Great response! I just had my second last week. With my first, I’ve involved him in almost everything hunting related I can. Mom has no interest, and that’s okay. She enjoys the outdoors in other ways, so I can still do some scouting while spending time with them.
On the business end, you...
Thanks for responding!!
Do you try to meet people while you’re out hunting in those areas, or just if you happen to run into someone? Are you offering anything in return (gifts, info, taking them out to dinner, etc) that opens them more?
Some really good nuggets in these responses so far. I really appreciate you guys all giving your 2 cents. I’m picking up on a common thread from most of you, and that’s time. Time in the field during the hunt, and number of times you can go back to the unit year after year.
Another question...
This is a question for the guys that get it done on 170+, mature type bucks year in and year out. @robby denning, I’m talking to you and the guys you talk about on the podcast and your books (Not Really Born a Hunter, Scotty, Dioni, Jordan, etc, etc), as well as any other guys doing what you...
I’m from Idaho and fairly familiar with most of the southern part of the state, although I grew up hunting the eastern edge of south central Idaho, pm me and I’m happy to chat.
Hell yeah Dioni!! I’ve followed along with your success for a long time!! Love to see you breaking into the #200club !! Learned a lot from the podcasts you’ve been on.
I have really bad shoulders (3 surgeries on my right and 1 on my left). My marsupial used to really hurt my shoulders after a long day of hunting (had same issues with previous harnesses too, not just marsupial). I started wearing my binos for everything from hunting trips, sxs rides, family...
