    Plantar Fasciitis....help!!

    Not sure how many Homo Sapiens in the Paleolithic period lived to be 49. :) I honestly got that advice form a Dr. so who knows. I really do like being barefoot than wearing shoes!

    Plantar Fasciitis....help!!

    My wife has it and it helps. Not sure about the barefoot thing as I was told being barefoot and wearing sandals are very bad for your feet. I only wear shoes at work and had worked from home prior to getting pf and was almost always barefoot. I even take the garbage out barefoot in the winter...

    Looking for a 3-5 day pack for $350- reccommendations??

    I have an eberlestock blue widow. I like it, not love it. It is heavy but when I get it on my back it doesnt seem bad. I use it mostly for hunting white tails in the flat lands and hope to take it to the mountains after mule deer and elk. I cant say anything bad about it other than weight...

    Turkey hunting 101

    I agree with the not using the putt. Learn how to cut and learn how to be aggressive with it. When Toms get henned up, yelping and purring wont get you far. However, boss hens love to fight and I have had excellent luck killing henned upToms by picking fights with the hens. Wherever she...

    Plantar Fasciitis....help!!

    I too had it but shook it off in 9 months and it has not come back....yet. I did ankle stretches in the shower every morning. I am older so the "tipToe" to the can in the middle of the night was pure torture. It also was that way in the morning. Get good insoles! I think I used the heal...

    Turkey hunting 101

    Get the book Tom Foolery 2000. Its informative and a quick read. You will enjoy it! Yes, go scout and get to know the land. Dont profile yourself. Be as stealthy as you can. Bring good optics but leave your calls in the truck. No use educating them on it yet. Scout all day if you can...

    Burris Customer Service

    I had one warranty needed with my Burris spotting scope. I bought the scope new and had issues with it from the start. I contacted customer service and they took care of me right away. I have had warranty issues with Leoupolds and Nikons in the past as well. I would rank the Burris...

    Compound or Trad Bow Without Blind

    I too have had luck running and gunning without a blind. I often think we limit ourselves because we mentally think we need a blind. Archers really dont. The biggest issue is not getting them in close and drawing your bow, its being on your knees or standing up for extended periods of time...

    Only one rifle.

    I too am mostly a bowhunter. I am also looking for one rifle for the same reasons. I have decided to go with the 300 win mag as well. I have my choice narrowed down to two guns. Both Savage. The Bear Hunter and the LRH. I like them both and there is advantages to both. Both seem to be...

    shooting a bow with a pack on

    I have shot several arrows practicing and a few at deer with my Blue Widow on. I am very comfortable shooting with it on. It may be weird but for this mostly white tail tree stand hunter it reminds me of shooting with a safety harness on so it actually seems very normal.

    How do you deal with family and their thoughts on hunting

    Im in the same position you are in! Amazing, I want to improve and get the best gear, my pops, not so much. He likes the old stuff. Even when fishing he still likes bringing out the old metal rod for walleyes. Typically I could care less but then here comes all the stories about fishing Big...

    Bow setup, elk vs deer

    I too say stick with what you have. I am shooting just a little heavier and had no problem with the set up when I went elk hunting. A good sharp broadhead and you are all set.

    Hunting near Chadron

    I hunted east of that area as well. Good amount of public. Merriams are fun! They are a lot more vocal than Eastern. They also have a tendency to return to their roost site which makes patterning them a lot easier. Depending on where you hunt turkey out there like to hit the open ground...

    Oh, lots of bear sign! Bears really tore apart the corn field. A few years ago we had a pretty big buck on camera but nothing the last two years at all. In fact, nothing above a 110 class buck. We had herd of some big bears shot. There are a lot of coyote tracks in the area. I did see one...

    My buddies farm is next to Staples Lake. Its a good area. There used to be more deer around but still enough to keep it interesting. The trail cams never had a single big buck picture on them all fall long so obviously not a big buck hangout. We are close to the big WMA and that does get a...

    What's the most accurate fixed blade head on the market?

    I tried so many different heads trying to find the best most accurate heads. I have found that the VPA 100gr nonvented performed best out of my bow. Very spot in with the same poi as my field tips out to 50 yards. I didnt try beyond 50 as for hunting white tails in MN, WI, I would never...

    Electronic vs hand calls

    I use all hand calls. My favorite are the old Critt'r calls. I have also used the hand calls fron Zink Calls. I prefer the open reed design.

    looking for a lightweight stabilizer

    I gotta agree with backcountry on this one. If you dont what noise dampening and true stablizing of the bow, especially when short on breath, the heavier and longer the better. Its just not as practical. Bee-Stinger had a great set up with the bar and change out the disk to the desired...
