    While hunting I carry 4 arrows with broadheads and one arrow w/a judo point, an extra string that is broken in, a stringer an extra rest ( I shoot a Bear weather rest) and a small file in case I need to touch up a head. At camp are extra arrows, broadheads, judo's, extra tab. I will also have a...

    sharpening broadheads

    I use a file for two and three blade heads, if I need to clean up chips or rolls on the edge. Then go to finer grits of sandpaper or stones, Then finish on a strop

    Mealy game

    My wife insists on putting tenderizer on steaks before they get grilled, probably because she likes it well done...blah ! If you put that on too soon and let it sit the meat will break down and have that texture. So maybe enzymes ? I think it's because the meat is breaking down.

    Back pack Food weight/cals for 12 yr old????

    So age, height and weight as well as physical activity ( we know on a sheep hunt your gonna be burning it) would determine calories. I would think I would want my kid to bring some luxury foods, things he likes ( I have a 13 year old too) but he would have to understand that extra weight is his...

    Jaguar escapes zoo - kills six animals before recapture.

    Like your average well fed house cat killing for the sake of killing I guess. That's pretty impressive though !

    Feet trouble

    Are you using trekking poles ? I have found them to help on down hill as well as up hill. Here is another video, similar to the other that was posted but a little different. I have found it valuable How to Lace a Hiking Boot For Better Fit - YouTube

    Alcohol and Preparing for a Backpack Hunt

    From the reading I have done alcohol also affect's the body ability to process protein for recovery so a tough work out or training day followed by a protein rich meal and alcohol can be counterproductive. Alcohol is a poison as for as the body is concerned and it stops doing repair, absorption...

If you can get to some shoots and meet some people it might help. I would watch some folks on the practice butts and if you see...

    Holster Recommendations

    I would think that any holster that will work on a belt, paddle style would work. I have a lightweight leather Bianci paddle style, outside the pants, for my 92F that I plan on clipping on the belt of my Krux EVO. It has a snap for retention and I can slide it off and clip it on my pants belt...

    Anyone keep a Journal ?

    Lol, I remember Warren telling me when he got his new truck that the cap from his old truck wouldn't fit so he got a new one. Warren kept track of how many nights he slept in the back of that truck under the cap I think he said it was in the neighborhood of 2,500 ? I know the belly of that...

    Anyone keep a Journal ?

    I never really gave it much thought but after meeting and spending a little time with Warren Womack on a Florida deer hunt a few years ago it's been on my mind. A few of you might know who Warren is, for those of you who don't he's documented his hunting for decades, pictures, stories etc of his...

    Western N.C. 2018 Bear Hunt

    I think I would hunt them like deer, look for all the the above mentioned food sources and saddles that connect areas between them. My buddy lives and hunts near Roanoke and they have a good number of bears. I think they shoot most of there's as they travel the same routes, saddles etc the deer...

    Who takes a back-up bow on out of state hunts?

    I hunt with an ILF recurve and will have a second set of limbs in the truck. I have hunted with a wood/glass laminated longbow for the last 8 years but bought the ILF recurve riser just for this, would hate to fall and crack a limb and not be able to hunt !

    “Wearing In” vs. “Breaking In” a boot

    I bought a new pair of Danner 453 GTX, they are stiffer than what I am used to and the insole sucked for me, wide feet,so I replaced them and after 5-6 miles they are starting to break in nicely. This video has been helpful to me, lacing makes a big difference How to Lace a Hiking Boot For...

    Stone Glacier EVO 40/56 and Kifaru Duplex Lite

    I bought the SG EVO with the R3 5900 bag, I wanted an outer pocket to get into quick and to keep rain gear, puffy, head lamp etc segregated so I wouldn't have to rummage. I also wanted the lid and side pockets for rifle/shotgun/ poles etc. I have been hiking with about 50 pounds in it and it...

    Why not East?

    I have lived and hunted in Maryland all my life. I have hunted Texas, spot and stalk for Javelina and that was an absolute blast ! However I was on at least 1-2 sometimes 3 groups per day so seeing game keeps you motivated to walk the miles of Senderos. I killed one and it was pretty exciting...
