    Nature Conservancy and the Western Solar Project

    Half-jokingly, I feel that Hunter Biden will be in charge of auctioning off BLM sites for development. I wonder if the fat cats in Washington have invested in any of these solar development groups. There is no comparison to North American carbon emissions to Asian air pollution. Just go to...

    CO Bow elk necessities

    If you have a thousand plus dollars to spend, then find an elk packing list online just buy things on it that you don’t already have. If you don’t think you will need it then you probably don’t. You can mimic others like this. The more elk packing lists you see the more you realize what is...

    Best arrows

    I’ve used a bunch of brands and can’t tell a difference. It’s more about the care taken in the assembly of the components. The big name brands are all very similar. It’s like Ford/Chevy/Chrysler. I just try to buy American made and what’s on sale. Nothing wrong with her pick. Sent from my...

    Thanking after killing

    I can get sentimental when I lay hands on them. I think that’s natural. The older I get the more respect I hold for these animals. There is a sadness to ending their life. It also makes me reflect on my own life and death when I make contact with them. Sometimes I will say something to them. I...

    Great look for us real hunters....

    I don’t think so. I don’t like the idea of gunning down a herd of terrorized ungulates. I don’t want to be associated with that so I’m not on that team. Proof that this method of take is unethical is that it made the news. I realize that there may be hypocrisy in my statement because I have...

    “The good ‘ole days of 2020’s”

    I should have specified the subspecies of Eastern Wild Turkeys in the Midwest. I pay closest attention in my state of IL. I think we are pretty close to our peak turkey numbers in recorded history. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    “The good ‘ole days of 2020’s”

    I’m sure this has been done a million times, but let’s refresh it. In today’s age, what kind of hunting opportunities and game numbers are better than ever? Here are my initial thoughts: -Midwest Canada goose -Midwest whitetail (depending on state) -Eastern Wild Turkey in some states...

    your good (or not so good) customer service interactions of late

    Eddie Bauer has been great. Their stuff is inexpensive and stitching can be a problem, but if you find anything wrong with a garment in the first few months after wearing it they will do an immediate exchange. At least my local store will. It’s been two years, but Salomon saw pics of a torn...

    your good (or not so good) customer service interactions of late

    I have had to call Leupold about a couple issues over the years. They have incredible CS with their binoculars and have earned my future business for everything in which they are competitive. Thumbs up on Sitka for a recent false alarm I had with their quality (I thought something was wrong but...

    Deer processing

    I live in a suburb and try to avoid hanging meat outdoors so I go the iced cooler/refrigerator route as you described, and I age it 3-4 days at least. Still learning what works best for me in the last 10 years of amateur DIY butchering, but my opinion is you’re doing just fine. I avoid rinsing...

    This is your guide. How much do you tip?

    I’d tip him everything I could afford. On a separate note; as a bow hunter I feel like I’d be dissatisfied with the result of that hunt (other than not being mauled to death). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sold Aero M4 for trade

    I’m going to give you some advice here that you may not appreciate, but in a few weeks (election) you may be wishing you sold that rifle for 3-4x what you’re asking for now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ways to holster your side arm to bag or self during elk hunt

    I’d seriously urge you not to do that. Major safety issue because you have no trigger guard. Also, you may lose your gun pretty easy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Archery only?

    I have a policy that I no longer sell guns unless they turn into a money pit for me to keep running. Buy a used bow for backup. I still shoot a 14-year-old parallel limb bow (sentimental value) that kills ‘em dead and is as accurate as anything else. I shoot this bow at least multiple sessions...

    Private Land Predicament

    I agree with the advice so far. I’ve been in a similar circumstance and I had to check my sense of entitlement. If you don’t compensate the landowner then you are a guest. Guests who complain generally don’t stay guests very long. If you do compensate the landowner then it must not have been...
