    eBay clothing smells- How to get rid of them?

    I too buy a lot of old wool on ebay and depop. I have never had an issue with smell. It's merino wool, that's one of the selling points to me, antimicrobial and lower smell. After a 6 day hunt in wool vs polyester, wool wins every time. I use the washing machine with some baking soda, Throw it...

    What products do you wish companies made for hunting?

    Same thing for duck boats / sneak boxes. A glorified kayak - 12 boat should not cost $4000 (image below) Or $6000 for this 14'er

    Let's hear those PBM Stories!

    Oh god, on youth day, my first gun hunt which is a slug gun and a 3x9 scope. Set on 5 power, was told the deer were going to be seen from 200 yards away coming towards us. Well, out pops a buck at 17 yards over a ridge edge I was sitting on. Deer walked into a bush, I could never find it in my...

    In What Order Should I Buy Gear?

    Id start with clothing, you can wear it to hunt local to you now and it gives you time to learn layering and how well it works. Then shoes. Then a good back pack.

    Headlamp Test by Project Farm

    Felt like this was one of his worst videos product wise. Lots of weird knock offs used and no standardization of lense size/ type. Some spot lights, some small leds... He usually sticks to name brand and does a few knock off/budget brands for comparison. ie milwaukee, makita, delwat, Harbor...

    Morning sickness while hunting

    I get the poop in the morning. 20 minute drive to private piece, 2 hour drive to 'big woods'. Step out of the truck and that cool wind hits the back of the neck. A quick shiver, then the countdown is on. I now get made fun of for how much consistent I am.

    Target Panic...Extreme. Literally ruining my life lol

    +1 for a resistance release. It lets you feel what a well executed shot feels like. I use a thumb, but if im shooting 20 shots in the back yard. I will shoot 2-3 with the resistance to make sure things feel the same. I agree with the above and here is what helped me. Draw you bow with an...

    Moose in the yard

    Crazy neighbor - I got chased by a shed bull moose last year while deer hunting in Vermont. I was 200 yards away from the vertical switch back trail to get down the mountain when it finally turned around. I really thought I was going to have to defend myself. He did not like me walking up on...

    Not sure how to feel about Tribal Hunting…

    This is a retardo jump to conclusions - I did not offering solutions to change or alter the practice. Just observing what I view as an oddity. I thought it was still done more as a traditional hunt, not 300 win mags and SxS's. 21st century native american hunting practices are not something I...

    Not sure how to feel about Tribal Hunting…

    Im not opposed to tribal land hunting and their regs as it doesn't impact me on the east coast. But it's weird when you see video using modern day equipment. SxS's and rifles. There's a video where they hunt whales or seals, and they use a boat with an outboard and pot winch while shooting a...

    Truck Batteries

    I run the walmart everstart for everything. I've never had an issue, they have lasted me for years. I think 3-5 year life span is nuts for a battery and should be bare minimum. That is living in Mid Atlantic and even northern Maine. So, they've seen some cold I even use the deep cycle for...

    Sitka drama??

    I nor anyone I know has ever paid full price for any sitka. 30% off is their minimum, or 'normal price'. They do make good gear, but it's not special. polyester, goretex, wool, they didn't invent anything new.

    September Truck must haves

    I had a tire go flat on top of a mountain in the mud last year. A good few pieces of plywood would have helped. I was trying to find a flat rock to put my jack on so it didn't just sink in the mud. Also, check your spare.
