    Tips for getting a steady shot in the backcountry.

    That’s a neat story. We hunt down here in FL in flip flops and shorts often enough. About the same.

    Harbor freight has a driveway alarm we use for camping, waiting for deliveries, etc. $15 is worth it.

    Fighting boredom in all day sits.

    I enjoy the break from normal life. Usually fall asleep for an hour or two midday. I enjoy a full day in the tree or in the field. Dont get enough of those.

    Let them grow?

    If you stop thinking that passing on a small buck is akin to pmaying God, you might get a big one one of these days. So here we have the mighty muley hunters saying, shoot more little bucks - and does. We dont need more deer. The herds are within the biologists population numbers and just...

    Neck shot ethics

    Take only the shots that are comfortable to you. Know that anatomy and target zones. No issues w folks making good shots. If yer a guy who cant hit exactly where you are aiming, then don’t shoot. If you havent practiced at that range and not sure exactly where you’ll hit, dont shoot. Neck...

    30-30 Copper ammo (Barnes) penciled through Whitetail Buck this morning...thoughts?

    Glad you found deer. Curious - What kind of damage was in there when you gutted or processed the buck? Were the lungs destroyed or just a pink line thru them? Did bullet lose it's petals and just base exit? Only you have the answer regarding the actual internal damage. My BiL uses 30-30 w...

    Do you hunt from home?

    We used to drive a couple hours to hunt. Hunting was a 9-day rifle season and we hunted out a cabin or camp. That was it for the year. Then as I got older they started to extend the seasons - suddenly there were archery and ML seasons. Then the seasons got longer and longer. Now some guys...

    Yamaha or Honda ATV Recommendations

    I have a 20 yr old Honda 250 ATV. When it dies, will get a Kowasaki Mule SxS and ride that til it dies. In my position, no reason to get another ATV with the UTV/SxS availability.

    Mike Tyson VS Jake Paul

    Paul earned some respect from me for not hurting Tyson. He's (Paul) abrasive to watch and listen to but had enough respect for Tyson not to hurt him. Thumbs-up!

    Deer are SMART !

    Sounds like you are overhunting the property. I hunted an area where deer avoided all vehicles. Had to hide the truck or they wouldnt come thru.

    Do you tip your game processor?

    I typically do my own. Did tip last year when had processor do a WY antelope I asked for rush delivery on - to make flight. The ladies there did a great job. Not a big fan of the modern tip culture. Charge me enough that you make what you need to off your service and take that tip jar...

    Rant - What happened to respect for other hunters???

    It is the guys who didnt grow up hunting. Thank your youtube heroes and the hunting industry for pushing folks into introducing more hunters or hunting will die. Then i read the guys on here idolizing their heroes and hanging on every word. LoL! Keep throwing money at them… Why do you...

    Oregon hunting guide killed by accidental discharge

    No it is not. No excuse for stuff like this. Excitement or not. Based on the reading, seems like guys were not together and dude shot guide at distance? If they were together, no reason for this. I was on a guided hunt last year and guide carried the gun. Gave it to me to shoot. Said it...
