    E Bikes, the new motorized access scourge?

    Tradition and cultural acceptance has a lot to do with these rules too. If there's a user group with a long history of doing something, it's going to be real hard to regulate that once it's an entrenched practice. For anyone comparing e-bikes to compound bows vs trad, that ship sailed. I...

    Wanted: Sportsman’s Warehouse code

    You might try making an account with them to register your email, drop the binos in your cart, and then wait. Sometimes they'll email you a 10% code within a week or so to try to get you to complete the purchase.

    Deer calls for blacktail

    I've rattled in one blacktail mid-November, where I saw him cruising past in thick woods and hit the antlers to bring him back. Turned on a dime from about 100yds and came in to look for us. Done a lot of blind rattling with zero success. I think it all just depends on being in earshot of a...

    E Bikes, the new motorized access scourge?

    A lot of hunting publications are just glorified advertisements, and I've been seeing articles for at least the last 5 years about how amazing e-bikes are for getting deep quickly and quietly. Hunting media can't seem to exist unless it's pushing something new to sell (rifles, cartridges...

    Anybody got another one? They always seem to send them when I don't need them.

    Is 2022 up yet? I'm still seeing 2021 on his page, unless something changed. https://sites.google.com/site/oregontags/home

    Cougar hunting tips?

    I've had similar run-ins and have tried some fawn in distress calling in good areas with recent sightings... no luck here either. Interested to see if anyone gets after them with any consistency (without dogs). I might try some of rainshadow's lion calls this year, seems like that has better...

    Thermal for Recovery

    Sorry, I must've missed that in the original post, tracking big game with dogs isn't a thing in my state (OR). If you're talking about licensed trackers who are already operating well outside the standard hunting regulations, then yeah, that makes total sense.

    Thermal for Recovery

    Yeah, that would be an unenforceable mess. Same reason you usually can't carry a rifle during archery seasons, even if you're "not hunting with it".

    Thermal for Recovery

    Check your state regulations first, a lot of states have provisions about using thermal for pursuit or recovery of game animals.

    Rowing Machine Recommendations

    If it's going in your garage, concept 2. If it's going anywhere you need to look at it, water rower. They're both solid, they both work, but the waterrower is much quieter, better looking, and takes up less space when you're not using it. The feel is a little different between the two but not...

    Unfollowing Hunting Social Media Will Make Hunting Better: Matt Rinella Essay

    I think I'm going to throw up if I see another soft focus, slow motion, long focal length, super zoomed in series of jump cuts on elk antlers.

    Unfollowing Hunting Social Media Will Make Hunting Better: Matt Rinella Essay

    Why are there so many of these? How do these people have the confidence/gall to be giving advice when they've barely gotten past the beginner stage? I really don't get the prevalence of these "blind leading the blind" accounts.

    Unfollowing Hunting Social Media Will Make Hunting Better: Matt Rinella Essay

    Personally, I draw the line at two things: first, coordinated, nationwide efforts to move the needle on hunter numbers; and second, profiting off the boom of new hunters while avoiding the fallout. I think the latter is more what Matt's article is talking about. I'm totally in favor of helping...

    Unfollowing Hunting Social Media Will Make Hunting Better: Matt Rinella Essay

    https://gearjunkie.com/outdoor/hunt-fish/hunter-decline-habitat-loss Been a lot of R3 talk in this thread, here's another article arguing basically the same thing.

    Unfollowing Hunting Social Media Will Make Hunting Better: Matt Rinella Essay

    This comment nails it for me. The crux of the R3 push, and part of what I think Matt is criticizing, is that adding more hunters will solve our problems and secure the future of hunting. I don't see how that pencils out in reality - if we add enough hunters to seriously impact our...

    Which and How Much Fat for Venison Sausage and Burger

    I don't cut anything into our burger, and use it for spaghetti, chili, and obviously burgers. Sausage gets about 20% pork fat for most recipes and that seems to turn out well. Pork fatback works the best in my opinion, it's harder and cuts into the sausage real well. Pork belly is an alright...

    Tallow ideas?

    We make soap from our elk and deer tallow, although the fat that renders out from the bone marrow when you're making stock isn't as hard or high-quality as the true tallow that's deposited on the body. Gotta render that down separately. The marrow isn't half bad if you can cook it on its own...

    Tooth Paste Tube Replacement

    FYI, you can refill those little travel size ones from your usual toothpaste without too much trouble, that works pretty well for me to keep weight down with minimal work/purchasing.
