    Kuiu piece you can’t hunt without?

    I bring my kenai jacket every time I go out. My only regret was not getting it with a hood.

    3rd Row SUV Experiences

    We have a 4Runner and I’ve sat in the third row. It’s tight and cargo space is really reduced to almost nothing when you use the third row. I wouldn’t want to be back there for an extended period of time. At the same time by wife was looking at Denali’s/Yukon sized vehicles which I didn’t want...

    Hunting near gas/wind farms

    My wife shot her NM antelope from the shadow of a turbine, but it was on private land.

    Euro Elk mount stink

    My wife picked up a dead head a few years and she power washed it, then macerated it. It had a few broken tips/broke off points and I set it upside down to dry water ran out of the antlers. It was like the antlers sucked up the water and the smell that came with it. The smell got better but has...

    Tough moose meat?

    Before I shot my bull I had talked to a few people who all said keeping anything for steaks outside of the back straps and tenderloins would be a waste. I shot my bull (aged at 4 years) at 9am, had it back to the truck by 5-6pm, and boned it out that night before putting it in coolers. I cut...

    Have Your Ever Hired a Babysitter So You Could Hunting?

    This is one of the main reasons I only wanted two kids. We can manage almost anything with two, but we have a third coming this summer so my wife will have to miss another fall. If I want to take a longer trip I just work it out with my wife. Sometimes she will use that time to go back and...

    Ever mess up a ten yard shot?

    I was stalking a buck that was bedded on the edge of a burn when I crossed paths with another buck. He let me nock an arrow and get my release clipped in as we were staring at each other. I remember thinking how crazy it was I made all that movement with him standing so close watching me. When I...

    WTS The pay it forward / free gear thread

    I have 11 rounds of Barnes 300WM 150gr TTSX. I borrowed my buddies rifle to finish my bear hunt this spring since I was getting desperate. Located in Vancouver, WA for at least a few more months if someone local wants them. Otherwise if someone wants to pay shipping they are yours. A few of...

    What do You Sing on the Hike Out?

    100% agreed. While I don’t sing out loud, I typically have some disney tune stuck in my head and I’ll often remix it into something related to what I’m doing. “Show Yourself” from Frozen 2 gets the job done regularly for me.

    When Do You Leave?

    Leaving on 9-16 and have to be back before 9-24, but better than nothing.

    Vehicle cell booster

    We used the weboost without issues, but always had them off a tool box or in the bed behind the cab so they were protected. If you have a slip tank/tool box that is steel you can rig up a magnet connection so you can move it around if you want. We did that so we could take them off and hide them...

    Broadheads hitting left (but different)

    I’d highly reccomend making a draw board. You used to be able to do it for $25-35. You should be able to find plans for one on AT. This will at least tell you if your cams are timed because if they aren’t you can spend as long as you want trying to tune and work on form but you likely won’t get...

    Career Change from Commercial GC

    I had more down time as an owner’s rep, but I still managed my scopes pretty tightly. I always wondered what some of the owner rep’s who worked with me did during the day other then do nothing work related in their office for 90% of the day than get mad at the contractor when things were wrong...

    Career Change from Commercial GC

    I had the same thoughts. I’m in a different, yet similar industry and switched from being on the contractor side to the owner’s side. Which was a large stress reduction. I’ve now recently switched to being in pre-construction and the stress went from external to internally induced, but still...

    Archery Release HELP

    I shoot a Carter Wise Choice. My accuracy increased with a thumb release shot with back tension, but the biggest change for me was being comfortable with a very consistent and repeatable anchor point. I never liked how I anchored with a wrist release and tried a few different ways with it...

    Fly fishing?

    Sport for me. Don’t get me wrong I really enjoy a good BWO or March brown hatch, but once it’s nice out I’d rather catch 1 carp than 100 trout. I have had smoked carp when I lived in MN that were speared through the ice and it was pretty good.

    Fly fishing?

    If I only fish for carp with a fly rod does that make me a snob?

    What gear are you looking to buy before this fall?

    Nothing for me except more food. Got my wife a new bowstring which should be in this week and she is low on arrows as well.
