    Crispi Colorado - Semi-live boot review

    I wore the Wyomings for the past three years and took them everywhere -- from turkey hunting in the Southeast to Hell's Canyon to the Oregon coast. Just got the Colorado for my birthday and took them to Wyoming (irony?) recently. Here's my comparison so far. Confirmed: Colorado is a touch...

    First timer question on boned out quarter vs. bone in

    Very good point here. I'll agree that I don't like to keep meat on the bone when it's warmer than 50 degrees -- even 40 degrees preferably. Luckily, on the Oregon coast it gets down to that temperature about half the nights during archery season and certainly during rifle season. Lots of cool...

    First timer question on boned out quarter vs. bone in

    I leave meat on the bones for a few reasons: Cleaner end product Faster in the field Muscle meats have a chance to enter rigor mortis then phase out -- this topic was covered by a meat scientist on Meateater a while back. He talked about how if you cut meat off the bone immediately it can...

    Hunting, homesteading or both

    We eat elk, duck, upland birds, turkey and a few trout/salmon/shad when I get out to fish just for fun. I’d say 73% wild game I kill supplemented with wild fish we buy, some local pork, and pastured chickens from store. While I’ve raised animals in the past for work and home, these days I...

    Hamskea Epsilon Mathews mount on older models

    I'm using the universal bracket on a 2018 Mathews Halon X Comp and it works perfectly. Really liking this rest, particularly since the micro adjust knobs are easier to reach and turn compared to former models.

    New turkey gun

    I would have said Winchester Sx3 but the prices people are asking on Gunbroker, etc. are stupid high. SX4 can be had for a fair price.

    New turkey gun

    Winchester SX4 if you like gas guns. I do. It will kick / bite at you a littl less and is 100% reliable. Affinity is cool too because the recoil spring is in the forestock -- not the buttstock -- so if you ever get the gun really wet you don't have to fully disassemble the mainspring in the...

    Good hunting arrow? Easton, black eagle?

    To the OP, my specs are really close to yours so I'll chime in. Easton Axis will be fine, but you'll end up with a very heavy arrow and shoot really slow. Expect 520 grains of arrow and around 260-270 fps at your specs. A lighter GPI standard diameter arrow (.246") would be an awesome choice...

    Try shortening your draw length in off season

    Interesting post topic, and I think the broader message here could be "this summer, experiment with your draw length in a systematic way and see what the effects are on your archery form and downrange groups." So maybe do some shooting on slopes, uphill, downhill. Maybe change draw...

    Sold Zpacks Triplex Camo DCF Tent

    Thank you bud, I will check that out. We just got an Aliner travel trailer so the wife and kid can camp with me in more comfort, so I'm trying to offload one of my backcountry tents.

    What lightweight tent do you use and why do you like it?

    That color used to be a stock option for Zpacks, but they dropped it a few years ago. If you look at wholesale DCF sites, the color appears as an option but it seems to be sold out or unavailable. It looks REALLY good in the woods.

    Best 22 mag ammo for predators

    I know a rancher who runs cattle on 7500 acres out here in the West. He insists on using Hornady 30 grain V-Max for his Volquartsen truck gun and gets it done.

    How much wildgame does your family eat?

    It's me, my wife, 18 month old, and a pup. We eat mostly wild game supplemented with wild cod and salmon from Trader Joe's and some fantastic pastured pork from a nearby farmer. My father and law sends us grass fed beef from his business partner -- we still like beef. On a good year, I'll put...

    What lightweight tent do you use and why do you like it?

    I've used a Z-packs triplex for a few years and have enjoyed it. It's made with a rad camo colored DCF, which the company seem to have discontinued. I got the triplex since I'm tall and planned to hunt with a buddy and/or little bird dog and hunt mostly in South Carolina and the Pacific...
