    New Whitetail Pack - external frame?

    I got the Kuiu Divide 2300. Internal frame, but I can do any hunting I need to in VA with it.

    Newfoundland, better early or late?

    I went the 2nd week of October in 2017, and the first week of October in 2022. Two totally different hunts. Got a 4pt in 2017, and a 17 point (my profile pic) in 2022. In 2017, we never heard a bull respond to the calls. We would just see them wandering around. In 2022, we heard bulls calling...

    NM landowner tags under fire

    My degree was in Economics. For one of my upper level classes, I wrote a paper on the implications of privatizing deer herds in VA. I get the sentiment, but allowing private profiting of the resource helps ensure better quality game.

    Manners LRH vs PH

    I sprung for the PH to save a few ounces. Mounted my Bushnell LRHS2 in Hawkins high rings, because those were the rings in stock. They are too high, my cheek is coming off the rifle to shoot. I found some medium sized rings in stock, and plan on re-mounting the scope soon. Pic of the gun/scope...

    Sold Peak Designs Carbon Travel Tripod w/ Ultra light conversion

    Hmm, ok. I'm looking for a tripod that I can shoot off of and is much lighter than my Two Vets 40MM (6lbs). I'd like something that is more packable into the back country.

    Sold Peak Designs Carbon Travel Tripod w/ Ultra light conversion

    I'm interested. What's the total weight, and is it strong enough to shoot a Magnum rifle off of from standing position?

    Weight Loss For Hunting in 2024

    I am down to 239.4 this morning, started the year at 260 so crossed the 20lbs lost mark. I'm 6ft. Got some extra motivation to lose more this week. Had a physical (my first in 5 years), and Dr. called me on Friday with results. Apparently My A1C is 6.5, which means I am diabetic (Type 2). They...

    Zero turns

    I bought a John Deere 915 6 or 7 years ago for $8K. I wanted the tougher build quality and roll bar. I have some steep hills to mow which gets exciting at times with a zero turn. So, I went with the "lowest" grade commercial. I'm at 235 hours on it. It's done well, and my backyard has weeds...

    First LR hunting rifle

    Definitely heed this advice. I didn't. My rifle was a Rem 700 BDL in 300 RUM. I was arrogant, thought I could shoot it. I learned horrible habits from the rifle, ammo costs got stupid expensive, I only shot a few rounds a year. Ended up wounding and not recovering lots of deer over about 10...

    .280 AI Powders

    I haven't loaded for the 280AI myself, but a buddy of mine won the Allegheny sniper challenge with a 280AI twice. He used RL17 under 180's if I remember the bullet correctly.

    Helium Balloon for Packout

    Helium is becoming a rare commodity. Definitely not a good long term solution.
