    Fake Deer

    A friend of mine saw a fake deer off the side of the road in the dark. He didn't want it to get poached so he beeped at it, got out and yelled and then threw a rock at it. Eventually, F&G stepped out and told him to "leave it alone" (exact words). I can only imagine how hard they were...

    Wet / Cold weather prep.

    I just threw one of those pieces of crap away when it failed (fortunately, I caught it in time and it didn't cost me an animal) and just replaced it with a good ol' standby Trophy Taker Pronghorn. Might not be fancy but, for me, it's always been really reliable.

    Wet / Cold weather prep.

    When hunting in the snow I have had my release get wet and then later freeze and quit functioning. When it's really cold like that I end up with the release inside my glove to make sure it stays dry and warm.

    The pushup challenge

    Love REI!

    Depends on who you are talking to - I bought a pack there a couple of years ago and, in the process of trying it on, I loaded it with EVERY sandbag they had in the place, plus some other stuff, to make it about a 100 pounds. The first lady that was helping me wanted to know why but the guy that...

    Water treatment - One More Time

    Maybe a purifier that also removes trace minerals, pesticides, other toxins? Something like a Berkey (I think that they have a portable one and not the big stainless monster.) Even it it's a bit heavier than the regular filter, it's lighter, and certainly easier, than taking all of those trips...

    Best Pack Ever

    That'll happen when your spotter looks like the Hubble telescope...but, then again, I'm looking for nice bucks in the Andromedas.

    Best Pack Ever

    I particularly like that the guy still has stuff hanging on the outside of it. I hate not being able to get everything in the pack...

    Meopta iPhone 4 Digiscope Adapter

    I have a Swaro 20x60x80 spotting scope and would like to use my iPhone for digiscoping when I need "good enough" photos. I see that Meopta makes an iPhone adapter but that it comes in several sizes. I was wondering if anyone had used it with a Swaro and, if so, you knew what size it is...

    Bad spending decisions!

    Promaster tripod head. Apparently, it's made of poop. Not sure if I just got a lemon or something but it bleeds off no matter how hard it's tightened down. Some "backpacking" bag I had bought - like a Coleman or something. 40 degree bag for a meager 4 pounds and compressed to the size of a 5...

    Who "mansacpes " Before a backpack hunt?

    Early season: between wrists and biceps and between ankles and knees for the t-shirt and shorts look. The rest of the year, it's just wool underwear full body suit. It saves a lot on hunting clothes but as I get older my "Just for Men" bill is incredible. Did I just get involved in a thread...

    2012 kuiu icon packs

    I currently have a MR NICE with CC but need a larger volume pack for longer trips. If I had all the money in the world, I'd have a KU5200 and one of either the Kifaru T1 or new Kuiu. The primary reason I'm not just getting a 6500 for my NICE is weight. The KU5200 would be very sufficient for...

    How did you get your handle?

    Mine's intentionally mispelled. The original Phineas Gage was a railroad man in the 1800's that had an iron tamping rod blown through his head when he was setting dynamite. It destroyed his left temporal lobe of his brain and changed his personality from a nice guy to a foul-mouthed a-hole...
