    Safety harness

    Spider for me, I love it. It is so light and comfortable and very easy to put on. I do want to pick up the spider descent attachment too. For $35 it seems like a great investment. It is a one time use that slowly brings you to the ground. That would probably work with those rock climbing...

    Need help choosing some new arrows for new bow.

    Im having great luck with camo easton axis. Seems like they are durable and really rip through an animal well. I have also noticed less wind drift in cross winds compared to my thick shaft ICS 340's. I have a tight spot quiver and often run the ICS and Axis. I have the ICS for "critters" as...

    Oatmeal

    I love oatmeal too. In instant form Quaker seems to be the best. I buy the 5 minute original and add fresh fruit with cinnamon or go with butter and brown sugar. It always fills me up and is very easy to make. I might have to try some of that steel cut stuff. It is just such a versatile...

    Spray Painting Arrows ?

    You might be overthinking it. Although there is limited glare on your equipment there is also glare in the wild too. Branches, leaves all sorts of things can glare if the sun catches it right. I know for me hunting out of a stand I typically am in the shadows of the trees and even when I am...

    Archery Field Practice - What does everyone do?

    Great ideas! I also love shooting the video shots at my local archer shop. They are a blast for mixing it up a bit. The shots are always 20 yards at mine but your holding longer and waiting for the right shots so it helps develop other skills needed besides just hitting a target.

    Cecil fallout ... How do we prevent more negative impact?

    I had heard that the cat was not lured out by the PH dragging a carcass through the preserve. I heard in fact there was a dead elephant off the preserve that the lion was heading to. I also heard all charges against the hunter had been dropped. Obviously this is against mainstream media so I...

    2012 Hoyt Carbon Matrix ASAT

    Great price for a nice rig. If I had the cash I would get that bad boy. Bump for a great deal.

    Minnesota potential round up or training

    Forgot to mention, I typically shoot at either the Coon Rapids Dam range, the one on Lexington in Shoreview/Arden Hills or the walk around course in Bunker Hills Park.

    Minnesota potential round up or training

    Im here in the metro too. Blaine in fact and yes, I do get out to shoot when I can. I have only shot one 3D shoot for fun and I had exactly that. No rangefinders allowed but most had binos and I wish I had as sometimes the arrow went right where I wanted it to go but the rings on the target...

    Camouflage

    Well, For hunting whitetails in Mn from a stand, I will actually disagree with many based on my experience. I really never thought much of it, I bought different camo, all good. However I got a bunch of NatGear stuff once and I gotta say I was getting picked off like crazy. I know I wasnt...

    coffee

    Im cheap too but dont like instant coffee. Folgers Coffee bags are like tea bags and they taste alright. I have used them on many ice fishing and hunting trips.

    Cooking from Base Camp.

    We also never had issues but dont assume you can have fire. The year we were out in CO there was a ban on open fires as it was terribly dry. Our site did get checked by a CO as well. We did as above as well as one day during the week we took off after the morning hunt, showered in town...

    Bow and arrow you shoot? Actual speed?

    2002 Hoyt Cybertech, 28.5 inches of camo Easton Axis with 100 gr tips. 439 weight traveling at a mind blowing 268 fps. It shoots straight and is very quiet and I get pass through's on every shot so I am not really worried about going faster or heavier at this time. Spending any extra cash on...

    Ruger Precision Rifle, Thoughts?

    I too think that 6.5 would be a great gun to get. Very thought out design. I hope other manufacturers will follow suit. I saw on another site a write up and they paired them with the new Burris XTR II SCR and that would make a fantastic combo for less than $2500. Its great to see tactical...

    .300 WSM and Elk

    Accubonds are great, Bergers, Barnes, see which one shoots the best. Are you reloading or buying factory ammo?

    History Channel: Alone

    Still shocked that a guy quit because of the wind and the trees. Any hunters has been there. Ya get out of the trees! I have noticed that the remaining few are not really worried about bears as much as finding food. Many have projects, the canoe was cool. That will afford him to possible...

    SFP vs FFP

    no worries, I didnt take it that way and it is a valid point.

    What rest do you like?

    I have a RipCord Code Red. Love the rest, its quiet but I learned the hard way to keep an eye on that cord as just because it doesnt show wear doesnt mean it hasnt stretched and will no longer function properly. Nothing like finding out your rest is not working in the middle of a trophy hunt...

    SFP vs FFP

    KMD thanks for posting that up. Pretty good argument for a lighted reticle. I think the biggest gain I can see on the FFP vs the SFP is the ability to hold for wind at any magnification. Also, from what I understand its easier to engage moving targets and hunting public ground in MN and WI...

    Best Ghillie Suit for Archery

    I have some public ground in WI I often visit while bowhunting. I often prefer to be a little more light weight and most of this particular parcel is open CRP grass so those bringing in climbers tend to be in the same areas. I have a ground blind I can and have set up but also I like to spot...
